COMBINED PIECES

OF FURNITURE

For The Flat Dweller

It is probably through the in- fluence of an increasing number

of fiat-dwellers that so much mo-i dem- furniture is designed to serve more than one purpose. Tab- iles, chairs, sofas, bookcases, and cupboards are combined in vazi- jous arrangements which seem so simple and practical that one wonders why they have never been: thought of before. Their appeal Ito the flat-dweller is obvious, especially to the young couple who are starting married life in a two- roomed flat and who have a num- ber of household possessions and books which must be stowed away somehow. When faced with the problem of such restricted -space these combined pieces of furniture But even more are a boon. gratifying is the fact that their usefulness is found to be in no way diminished after a few years when the couple move to a house and the question of economising in spate is no longer urgent,

PREVENTING DRIPS

Tablecloths and tables often get marked with the drops from bot- tles of sauces or relishes running down the sides. An easy way to prevent this is to slip a small rub- ber band over the neck of each bottle. This will effectually pre-1 vent any drips.
