ter spoke as He gazed on Jeru- salem's marbled magnificence.

"Made with hands," or, as we should say, "manufactured." See how much better that word con- veys the meaning of Christ and St. Paul alike. God is the God of all men and nations.

How then shall He be conftied within the walls of man-made churches; within the borders of man-made creeds: Periops In the very threats to religion of which wo hear the rumblings to-day, Christ and saying: is speaking again "Destroy this manufactured thing, and a better, of God's own bulld- Ing, shall rise to replace it."

Thus might the Lord, whom we seck, come suddenly to His tem- ple. Whet an Easter the world men and churches und nations ready to would know, were take the true way of the Cross and be fesliloned by God Himself for Resurrection.

Narcissa Crowe- Wood discusses some delightful CORONATION

colour schemes for the up-to-date

CORONATION year

brings

with it a new feeling in furnishing.. There is more colour, more boldly used and daringly contrasted than we have seen for years: gloriously patterned fabrics, new elegance and comfort in furniture, especially couches and chairs. Curves have taken the place of angles, and ap- Fringed braid pear in upholstery,

is used on roft cushions in place of the ordinary piping silk and velvet cushions are quilted: ruching trims lampshades and down quilts: cur- tains are. ruffled.

Here are two schemes, typical of Spring 1037:

New Greens and Ivory

uses

The first, for a sunny little drawing-room or morning. room, delicious shades of green and ivory. The walls are pale Adams green: the carpet fawn. At the French window hang, damask curtains of the same green as the walls, scattered with shadowy ferns in deeper and lighter green. There is a graceful pelmet of heavy' Ivory of satin and light Inner curtains ivory ninon, made in the Regency style, with ruffled hems and tie- bneks.

The furniture has a Regency feeling, too-a curved sofa and easy chair with shell-like fluted back up- holstered in heavy green 'damask woven with true lovers' knots in ivory...

A

modern pedestal of mirror glass holding a lamp with luminous white base and ivory shade stands behind the sofa and contrasts with a little occasional table of walnut, carrying an interesting old box, used for cigarettes, and a lovely formal bouquet of creamy and yellow flowers (small aran. lilles among them) in an ivory vosc.

A modern picture over the fire- place contributes a splash of scarlet flowers to the scheme,

In the second scheme, small room with off-white walls has armchairs upholstered in an exotic printed design called "Japanese Garden," mingling rust and-coral-reds and blue-greens. There are, rust-coloured satin faille curtains softened by inner curtains of off-white ninon,

Put your favourite armchair In cover of the same chintz: give the companion chairs and couch plain cocoa-brown covers, plped with off- white, and quilted cushions in the apricot of the lilles, the gold of the walls and off-white. White lamps, lit by flame bulbs, and tall jars of any lilies in season-coloured and white-would be exciting finishing touches for this room.

FLAVOUR WITH CHEESE

palate.

The bristles of the Tek sharthend toothbrush are extra springy. The shape of the Tek shorthead was specially designed to fit the inside arch of the teeth, and to reach the dangerous tartar zone which ordinary toothbrushes miss.

98% of the dentists asked to give their opinion of the Tek design; returned their signed approval of it. There is nothing 'just as good as Tek. Tek is registored-legally protected from imitation. To keep both sides of your teeth white and strong you must have the original shorthead toothbrush-Tek
