Healthy ... wealthy.. . wise probably you'd like to be all three, but here’s a compromise. At WHITCOMBE & TOMBS LTD, I noticed a set of informative health books by author C. E. Clinkard, M.B.E. Surprisingly enough, they're only 35c each!

The first, "Eating For Health," deals with newer knowledge of nutrition, and is really a "bible" for radiant living, with simple rules to follow. "Soya, The Wonder Food" is the second title ... a convincing book about a wonderful food. (This book, by the way, features several choice recipes!) The final book, "The Uses of Juices," advises you on the proper uses of juices from raw fruit and vegetables.

Good health is gold, and here are three books gleaming with good advice . . . from WHITCOMBE & TOMBS LTD, 111 Cashel St.

Summer may be over, but here's a cheering thought from A. J. ATKINSON & CO. LTD. When you bring in your coolee chair from the patio for the winter, don’t forget that Atkinson’s have perky-patterned quilted covers, to convert your coolee chair for indoor living, priced from only $6.95! Quite apart from the charm and cheer they’ll add to your room, here's a practical note. Their quilted padding is fully washable.

A reminder, too, that Atkinson's specialise in all interior furnishings .. . blinds, drapes, bedspreads and carpet. They’ve also an impressive range of lounge suites and bedroom suites at A. J. ATKINSON A CO. LTD, 16-18 Victoria St.

Place me in the middle of a desert, and I'd be quite happy as long as there's a piano! So you can count me among the regular customers at CHARLES BEGG A CO. LTD. While visiting their renovated showroom, this week, it struck me rather decisively, that Begg’s are now firmly established solely as a Music Centre, backed by a specialist sound section, well equipped with all the latest developments in stereophonic sound. A chat with manager, Bob Stafford, convinced me that Begg's able staff are highly conversant with all aspects of their particular field. If you've any problems, or should you require advice concerning sheet music, records, musical instruments, pianos or sound eyuipment, Begg's are more than competent to help you. Incidentally ... I noticed Begg's have an impressive new range of Kawai pianos, which I believe, come from the largest exclusive piano factory in the world. Prices range from $599 at CHARLES BEGG A CO. LTD., 243 High St. * * ¥ * If all the treasures at BRANDON HOUSE could speak, a fine tale they would tell. Like me. you’ll be enchanted with their exquisite range of old porcelain and glassware, and particularly with their antique Waterford and Georgian decanters. Many different styles I spied ... some in cut glass, others in gleaming crystal. . . each one destined to add grace to any occasion. You’ll find some splendid pieces of Venetian glass and early glassware too, at Brandon House, in tints of amber and ruby. My choice —an early Venetian vase in cloudy blue and silver . . . bulb based and slim-waisted, with double handles and a frilled lip. Mr Bell’s knowledge of old and lovely things and selective buying, mean that BRANDON HOUSE, 161 Victoria St, can offer you the very finest in antiques. ,
