By the time a child is years of age he has learned lo look at objects with both eyes and fase them into one image.

CHIPPY ‘WINDS UP' A STANDARD LAMP
A
SPECIAL electrician was enlisted to help in the making of this lamp standard. He supplied the pillar, a plece of standard lighting conduit 5ft, Ons. by ins, diameter.
The electriclan also screwed a celling rose (with hooks removed) to the bottom, and a lamp socket with switch to the top.
How much this costs you depends on the "electrician, but it is only a few minutes' work fo put on the screw threads. Falling on electrician, a garage will probably give you a
hand.
The base is of wood, one inch thick, with a 14ins, radius. Chippy could not find a good piece of wood big enough for this job, and made his base of two halves. They are jointed with strong carpenter's glue, and held firm with twa cross-battens underneath.
To make the standard less easy to lenock over, a piece of lead piping, beaten fint with heavy hammer, is screwed under the base. Three small rubber door stops made excellent feet.
Now here is the touch of hovelly. The. pillar is bound with 50 yards of heavy picture», conduit Bft, Gins. by in, diameter.
If you turn in the top few inches of cord and wind very Ightly at the beginning, the cord will hold firm. At the bottom of the standard-where the winding ends-it is best to bind it, or whip it, as Scouts say, with fino twine. This should then be held with a film of fine glue.

Very feminine looking watches are significant In, some watch firms noted in New York. Particularly nice is one with a cultured peart and chain bracelet on a round watch that is circled with any wreath of pearls. Dainty as a cocktail watch, it is priced for wide appeal. Pearls are also used in a similar design where the bracelet is a double row of pearls and the watch face, is topped with a pearl-studded cover. A double circle of seed pearls cings both round and rectangular faces of watches on suede straps.
