Cook and Serve in Color-Conscious Tables use Krust Kook-in-China French chefs recommend it—and so does Woodward & Lothrop. Krust Kook-in-China has been tested and ap- proved by The Good Housekeeping Institute. Be- cause it is a fine hard-fired porcelain china—high tem- peratures do not affect it; it will not crack in use. The even distribution of heat afforded by it assures better pie crusts and delicate casserole foods. For baking, broiling and serving Krust Kook-in-China is equally efficient. Nine pieces, modestly low priced . . . and these two special values. Krust Kook-in-China Pie $ Plates and Casseroles. Each I Ruby Glass Stemware Just as one’s frocks and hats have their flare for color— so do one’s fashion-conscious 1930 tables. Today smart tables are using deep red stemware to artistic ad- vantage, contrasting its deep vintage shade with luncheon and dinner chinas that probably in only some very small way introduced vivid red tones. It is a de- lightful change, even in this colorful era. These spiral- optic glasses have crystal-clear stems. Sherbets for six Parfaits for six........ e Goblets for six...... CmNa, F1rTe FLOOR.
