This perception was enhanced by the row of tall, symmetrical trees with bushed out tops lining one side. The scare- crowish silhouettes of the electric power lines contributed to the at- mosphere of desolation. Occasion- ally a few anemic patches of blue, were still spotted in the sky, but the deep plum, cerise, purple and oxford gray finally _ obliterated them. The very ground seemed to Teflect these colors from above where at first the blackness ap- peared in large Rorschach-esque blots here and there -but- they spread and crept until the dark- ness was complete. *Twas indeed a most impressive. and could not help but it yours tru- ly, had indeed a chang ture’s pa- ics it of 14 Kt.

These are only many of the countless household accessories, and appliances, both major and small electrical ones found at HOME APPLIANCE CO., 605 Simoni te The firmament seemed rife with uncertainty which was in great contrast to the positive, material and mundane components of the passing street scene. There were neon screams, Gas stations, res- taurants, used car lots and scat- tered houses all reminded one of people and yours truly curiously mused upon these strangers and what the state of their existence was. Decided that, after the man- ner of all of us, there must be the usual admixture of joy and sorrow xd occassionally loneliness—plus a number of children, and pets and relatives with the accompanying ambitions and lag Now Pag on caeelient time to get a new permanent wave so you can be all pretty for the com- Ing social events of the Season.

A deep gunmetal gray was now trying to conquer the variegated colors in the sky and I looked to the left in time to see the most fascinating building, It was a large, mission-like structure with fat, square towers on top. Smack in the middle—with- out any separation in the upper part of the building—tunneled a large wide archway over a small road with narrow pavements on each side. The street lights dotted) bere and there gave it an authen-| spreads. And too, you'll find an exceptionally nice choice of col- ors and patterns to please any taste, the prices are most reasonable. Why not phone 2-5931 or stop in the Caroline Shop and hav them assist you with your dec ating scheme.

Also, they make actual measurements in your own home, so that your slipcovers will feal- ly fit properly. ga2qg28 The sentinel-like trees continued to guard one side of the road. A canal was now seen on the right and the narrow lines of pale yellow from the lights being turtied on in the homes on its banks were mir- rored in the wet inkiness. Taking} in the scene in its entirety was as- tonished at the resemblance to a New England landscape out of Cur- rier and Ives, but it was probab- ly the play of light and shadows and deceptive darkness—’cause I knew it was in the tropics. Ss mes You just don’t walk in a store and order three or four or even one building because (1) Erect- fag a home, motel, hotel, apart- ment, office, or restaurant is a pretty serious business. (2) Build- ing involves lots of details of which you are—and reasonably $o—unaware. (3) A building of your very own always remains @ thing of pride. (4) When you con- struct a home, you want to in- clude only that which will mean comfortable living for your fami- ly and of course, you want as beautiful a house as possible. (5) You will want sound struc- ture and experienced construc- tion men te work on it, (6) Fu- | ture maintenance costs should be | kept at 2 minimum. The above six points ere taken inte consideration by the/M. E. BENNETT CONSTRUCTION CO., 217 Duval. By discussing your building plans and ideas with them at their office or phoning 2.2333, you'll soon rea- lize that BENNETT BUILDS BETTER because they know how Important your home or commer- cial building is to you!

By DOROTHY ROE Associafed Press Women’s Editor You can achieve an atmosphere of gracious living even in a one- room apartment, if you plan well and make the most of each inch of space, says Sidney L. Liber- man Jr., a young industrial and interior designer who, with his retty wife, Sally, is accomplish- g some minor miracles for New York apartment dwellers. 3 “The trick ts to keep it sim- ple,” says Sidney. “In a small room you can achieve a feeling of more space by painting the walls light, the ceiling a darker tone. Drapery and upholstery fabrics should be in small, subdued pat- terns or solid Color, so they don’t jump out at you. “The problem of almost every shone rather pathetically. In the opposite direction was another star all by itself. It was quite large and seemed to have a gauzy, cottony cover over it. Looked as if it might have been lifted off the top of a Christmas tree! However, the star remained—and shone dimly through its cobweb wrapping. e2:2ezze Trust that Ditty Box, 832 Duval Street to carry the latest in bas- kets!

When at the Ditty Box, don’t look the lovely pikaki shell jewelry in many lovely colors, which has just arrived and also the “Ocean Fa ies” such as Mushroom Coral earrings, or the great clusters of bone white shells for bracelets. You'll adore them as they'll make wonderful and inexpensive CHRISTMAS PRESENTS as will many of the items at the DITTY BOX.
