Either of these, is efficient and effective, provided, of cmrrse, ' thai it is large enough.

Many have gravity closing outside doors that shut as soon as the air blast from the fan stops. Some have manually operated pull-chain operated doors or shutters on the outside wall. A wide variety of accessories is available to meet installation needs--ducts of many sizes and shapes to fit any type of wall for ceiling, eave and wall caps, roof jacks, etc. all of which simplify installation and im prove efficiency. One of the more recent de velopments in kitchen exhaust fans is the range hood, a metal canopy extending out over the range. Some of these have a self-contained fan or blower; others provide fcr the installa tion of a fan in a cabinet above or in the wall. In many of these units a duct extends up through the cabinet and travels to the Outside either through the ceil in",, the avail or the soffit (that nets). Blend With Design Some of the newer hood models can be obtained in mod ern style, colonial or provincial and are available in a variety of colors. It is possible to select a hood that will blend with any kitchen design or color. Sides are generally rounded or tapered off to permit full opening of the doors of adjacent cabinets. Some hoods include built-in lights for illuminating the range and, with factory -installed switches for controlling the light, the fan or both. t Consultation with the appli ance dealer kitchen specialist who is doing the remodeling of your kitchen will determine the best type of exhaust fan for your particular needs and budg et. The important thing is to make certain that in your kitch en you do include an exhaust fan and one with the right ca pacity for your kitchen. 1 . Trim, Neat Legs Seen on New Items Today's furniture is proud of its good-looking legs and is riot afraid to show them off to the world. Since the feeling which de signers want to achieve in their furniture is a light, airy look, they are bringing the furniture off of the floor by placing it on trim, neat legs. Sofas, for example, which may have a tendency to look bulky and heavy, are placed on legs to give a lighter appearance. Chests, too, in many cases, are not built flush to the floor but are raised on legs. The legs are scaled so that they are in proportion to the piece which they are holding up. They do not give a spindly ef fect but are sturdy and attrac tive. Whether they be wood or metal, legs are an important part of today's furniture. If you mend damaged areas as soon as they appear in a fa vorite rug, you can give that rug a longer life, according to a new Cornell University Exten sion Bulletin on care of rugs and carpets. The bulletin re minded homemakers that fray ed, ends of a rug should be bound. : IF 1W3 iltwl g 'fw' -tr MAGNOLIA WOOD Painted finishes are an important part of today's furniture fashion scene. In this bedroom suite, called Le Chau mont, the finish is parchment on solid mag onlia wood. The ornate drawer pulls are in keeping with the lush feeling of. the group. The -headboard is a continuing swirl of figure eights. Notice the grill-work on the doors of the nightstand. (Link-Taylor). Kitchen Favorite Spot for Laundry: "Where should I put the laun dry?" This question frequently con fronts the homemaker planning to remodel her kitchen. And what better time could there be to bring the laundry equipment out of its dark, damp basement hiding? Today's busy housewives and mothers emphatically declare they want the laundry on the main floor of the house. The fa vorite location seems to be the kitchen. Provided the room is large enough, it is best to sepa rate the laundry area from the main kitchen work area by a peninsula or island unit. The laundry can then successfully be combined ' with other kitchen activities. Unless your equipment has been purchased recently, you'll want to include in your laundry plans a new automatic washer and dryer or a combination washer-dryer, which takes less space. The handsome styling of these appliances makes them particularly suitable for kitchen installation. Available in white or colors to match your steel cabinets and other appliances, the ktichen-laundry will look completely integrated. In addition to a washer and dryer, the really modern con- cept of a laundry includes steel kitchen cabinets to provide nec essary storage space for laundry supplies. Hamper cabinets are available to hold soiled linens and clothing. A tall utility cabi net to hold an ironing, board and other supplies will .make this truly a complete laundry area.

Designs from the Orient first gained favor on the west coast but have gradually travelled across the rest of the country. The increased use of grilles and screens in furniture, which cast intriguing patterns of light and shadow, are evidence of this trend, as are low chests, tables and seating pieces. The magnificently colored tiles that have given Middle and Near East architecture its glow ing individuality have inspired American designers to bring more warmth and color into our homes.
