Modern design in playing cards

As gifts, playing cards are always acceptable. There is a delight in handling a new pack of beautiful cards, and a hostess cannot have too many packs available. As presents, the three designs illustrated will prove of added interest, for they were the prize winners in the 1933 competition for designs for the backs of playing cards. Beautiful colours and gold or silver, with edges to match. Specially grained backs. In attractive single and double pack gift boxes.

“You’re looking fine and fit!”

You can sunbathe indoors any time of year with a Homesun Lamp and every sunbath gives you new tone, fresh energy, exhilaration. You look better, work better, sleep better, and feel better all the time.

For the Homesun is a quartz arc lamp, the richest source of energizing ultraviolet rays. In your own home it gives you the essence of sunlight — the vital rays which create vitamins. That is why Homesun baths are so good for every member of the household.

The Homesun Lamp is safe, simple, and a lifelong investment in health. It costs only a |d. for each sunbath and takes only a few minutes. Your electrician or chemist will supply the Homesun now on small monthly payments.
Send for the free interesting booklet on home sunbaths. Post the coupon to day (1/2 d. stamp).

Made in England for home sunbaths. Not supplied for self-medication Now being Demonstrated at HARRODS MODERN HOUSEKEEPING EXHIBITION Harrods Ltd., S.W.1. HANOVIA 3 Victoria Street LONDON, S.W.l and over 50 centres in the provinces

LIGHT WITHOUT DUST

• Simple glass shapes screw into metal galleries and fit tight. They won’t admit dirt, and there are no needless projections to harbour dust. They are all British: they are designed and made only by Troughton & Young Ltd. The extent of their variety is illustrated by the diagrams. They have been used by architects in many important buildings, and are now being specified for offices, schools, hospitals, shops and public buildings all over the country. If you have not already got copies, write for the Ultralux Book and Modern Decorative Lighting.

Famous artists design for Cadburys

The very latest boxes of chocolates are strikingly different from any previously seen in the shops. Once again Cadburys have led the way to better things. Some months ago they commissioned ten of the leading artists in this country — men and women whose work is permanently displayed in the nation’s art galleries — to design entirely new boxes to contain Cadburys’ fine chocolates. These boxes are now on sale, and are making as strong an appeal to connoisseurs of art as their contents are making to connoisseurs of chocolate.

The following are included in Cadburys ‘Famous Artists’ series:

Dolphin by Ernest Procter . . 1 lb. box 6/ 
Still Life by Mark Gertler . 1 lb. box 6/ 
Old Plantation by E. Dulac 1 lb. box 5/ 
Exotic by C. R. W. Nevinson 1 lb. box 5/
