Not merely old prints framed and hung upon the walls of your house, but old prints put to all sorts of interesting uses, made into all sorts of decorative things. To begin with screens. These are usually of wood, with prints mounted in decorative fashion. Sometimes a four- leaved screen of me ofled wood will be cove: with prints from Godey's lady’s book, and then the whole sheliacked with colorless shellac. Sometimes screens covered with denim or silk will have paneled tops showing, each leaf, a single Godey print. There are also fire screens and tele- phone screens and candle screens with prints mounted on them to give their distinguishing character. A very good way to utilize old rnnu is to mount them on parchment lamp- shades. One most effective lamp is made with a base of dull gilded wood, with a print of a ship in full sail, in faded shades of brown, mounted on & parchment-paper shade. Shields for side lights are also made of old prints, and sometimes old steel engravings, giving bits of city or coun- try scenes, are so utilized. Maps, as well as prints of more festive are admirable for mounting in these various ways. You could make most_ interesting library furnishings by having a pair of lamps with maps mounted on the shades, & pair of side- light shields with engravings from some old book, a waste-paper basket with an- other map, and even with good old prints placed under the glass top of the desk or writing table. For the tea wagon or tea tray, Godey printé are a good choice, although any pretty print will do. There are some Iovely old colored prints-of fruit and flowers that are admirable for trays. Clocks and mirrors, too, suggest them- selves as_admirable backgrounds for old prints. If you have the old prints you can get a cabinet maker to mount them in any favorite clock, mirror or tray.

'NE WHIFF...ONE SIP.. =l FEATURES, Straight Talks to Women About Money| BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. “If I Had the Money!” “If T had the money I'd takq a Med- iterranean cruise now and then I éotild die happy. Of course, I don't suppose I ever shall take the cruise, because it costs 5o much.” The speaker Was a woman of about 40 with a fair-sized income and no dependents. She spoke in that fashion a year ago. She sailed last week for the Mediterranean. ‘Through the year she did some enter- taining, and it was costly. She did not feel it necessary to saye anything, be- cause she had a fixed income for life. She knew, or thought she knew, just what she could and could mot do on that income. Then she nfentioned this urge for a Mediterranean trip. I asked her whether she could save $14 a week. For most of us that would be an im- possible amount. However, she reflected for a moment and said that it would be easy. I took her by the hand and led her off to a bank. The teller was instructed to opem a special travel ace count for her, to be known as “Mrs. Garry H, travel account,” and she put in her first week’s deposit. As the weeks rolled by and the trip seemed nearer and nearer, her zest increased. ‘There isn't much more to say.
