Want Ads Get Results Patricia’s Ponderings vfl By Patricia Smith, ' Home Economist Placemats Offer Variety Placemats offer an alter native to tablecloths when setting a table. There is a large variety of easy-care fabrics available so that you could make your own placemats with very little expense. Also available are easy-to-elean vinyl mats as well as woven ones. A collection of placemats for different occasions can range from the very casual to the most formal. Fabric mats are easiest to care for when they are permanent press and soil release treated. Fabrics of cotton, linen, polyester and blends of these fibers are available in many interesting textures and prints. Vinyl mats are the easiest to clean since they only need to be wiped clean with a sudsy sponge. When purchasing place mats, check the label for specific laundering instruc tions and check to see that the mat is well made. Fabric mats should be treated the same as tablecloths-spots and stains should be removed as soon as possible and launder mats frequently. Glass Containers Clear glass containers or canisters are great for use in the kitchen and are currently very popular. Why not try' using some of those attrac tive glass pieces in other rooms of your house. In the bathroom or bedroom glass canisters are practical and offer decorative storage for grooming aids such as cotton balls or guest soaps. A wide variety of shapes such as mushroom, bell and beehive shapes, as well as the more traditional shapes, are avail able. THURSDAY, MARCH 17. 1977 Bobby Thaxton Died Suddenly Tuesday A.M.
