> Sterling Silver Tops Trend To Drama In Table Settings Nowhere should our gracious | Canadian way of living be more apparent than at. the family--' or guests-for-dinner -- dining table. The finest foods and the loveliest tableware are within reaeh of all Canadians, The last few years have seen a_ trend toward drama in table settings, | hand-in-hand with the casual serving methods introduced dur- ing the war years. Do you know how to set a table for pleasant, relaxed,} appetite - stimulating dining? | Here are 1@ questions most often | asked --and their answers: 1 Must the centrepiece always be in the centre of the table? No. You may arrange place settings along both sides of the table with the "centrepiece" at each end. Brightly polished fruit in a sterling bow! at one end and colourful, washed and rubbed vegetables at the other end Masterpieces In Precision Every man prizes his watch | and there's no doubt a male} heart will beat faster this | Christmas at the newest de- signs available at your jewelry etore. This year's watches are masterpieces in precision as well as handsome accessories that give him the attractive and more successful look he wants, says the Jewelry Indus- try Council. There's evidently a style to suit evéry taste and personality. While time is precious to all of us, the man of the house is particularly conscious of its importance. A quality, jeweled. lever watch, therefore, is his best assurance for getting any- where on time. Because he looks at-his watch many times a day, an accurate timepiece is a much wanted gift -- especial- ly at Christmas when the senti- ment of the river makes the gift that much more meaning- ful. The new watches are sleek, thin. They wind themselves, re- sist wind, water, dust, shock and magnetic fields; some are even electrically or electronic- ally powered. They come in a host of dress, business and sports styles. To combine old-fashioned Christ- mas sentiment with space-age usefulness, there's no more wel- come gift for a man than a new watch.

May I mix sterling silver- patterns? Yes. In several ways: solid silver for the dessert course may be different from the main course silver sinceNt is not on the table at the same time. You may also mix sterling place settings during the main course, using the flatware you selected along with the pattern you in- herited, alternating the settings at each plate. 3 How can I develop a fine patina on my sterling? Only through using it daily. This soft, mellow sheen is the result of tiny, fine ""use" lines which come with the years. The more frequently your sterling is used, the quicker it develops a glowing finish. Rotate the fiat- ware so that all of it comes into use every day. Use of sterling reduces 'polishing proportion- ately. 4. Is the British method of placing' the dessert spoon and fork above the plate, permis- sible? Yes, this approach is being |. more and more adopted in this country to reduce up-and-down hostess activity. Place the fork and spoon parallel to the edge of the table above the dinner plate. Use a serving car for des- sert and salad courses, the bot- tom shelf of the cart for stack- ing used dishes. 5. Do I need both a dessert fork and dessert spoon? Many desserts demand them. For example, ice cream and cake or cream pies start with a fork, need to be finished with a spoon. BARE TABLE? 6. It is permissible to set a bare table? Yes, if the wood of your table is attractivé and the finish will resist scratches. You. may wish to use place mats, but do not use a runner. Many smart hostesses rely on their gleam- ing sterling and plain china for clean, uncluttered decor. 7. How is the buffet table set up today? The line of march is to the right. Starting point is the stack of plates, then serving dishes, followed by sauces and relishes. Today the trend is away from the "marching soldiers" look of flatware in rows. Place napkins side by side one inch from edge of table and % of an inch apart; on each, place the knife, fork |and spoon. Dessert plates, des- | sert and its flatware follow /the sauce dishes. Then coffee cpfips, saucer with teaspoon a the coffee pot. 8. How can I have a no-plate- juggling buffet arrangement? Combine buffet serving with seated service.

Traditionally, the Canadian jewelry trade has looked largely to imporis and to capital and initiative fgt its glittering ware but there "are Canadian com- panies who represent a drama- tic reversal of this pattern. Companies, backed by Cana- dian investment and using Ca-} nadian metals, seasonally see hundreds of new. patterns em- erge from drawing boards in an attempt to satisfy the ~ un- quenchable feminine thirst for beautiful things. For quality and styling, these products rank with the finest in the world. Expert workman-| ship from die designing and making to final plating, polish- ing and packaging is carried out by the Canadian firms. Within recent years the Cana- dian industry has successfully produced an automatic chain for rhinestone jewelry from sterling Silver strip. From th> original} baguette shape, they have con- | tributed to the evolution of a myriad of designs. Production of the chain is entirely auto- matic--from the flat stock until it is ready to receive the rhine- stone. On the average, it takes one die-maker about six weeks to build.a die for automatic chain. Wearability is a prime con- sideration because a die may) produce millions of pieces. Stel- lite is used liberally in conjunc- tion with tool steels and-a highly trained form grinder and other specialists are. recruited for the special brazing and grainding practices involved. Heavy automatic power presses-turn out the setting from the silver strip. The shapes are various -- round, octagon, tre- foil, oval. After the individual settings have emerged from the presses they must be linked together to Perfect Combination Found =" """""=""" In Watch As Gift For Man A watch is a perfect combin- ation of all that a man wants in a gift; it's useful, dignified and masculine -- the kind of gift that reflects the taste and con- sideration of the giver. . And if the man you want to please doesn't have one of the new-in-style, slimmed - down watches that are wafer-thin and trim as a soldier on parade, he | really meeds one for his self- esteem. A good-looking watch is | important to a man's appear- ance in these days when ap- pearances count more than ever. And only bantam-weight pre cision watches look appropriate with the new light-weight suits, | narrow ties and tropical leather shoes. | The mew men's watches are deceptively simple in appear- ance. But that look of simpli- city hag been achieved only by creative designing and pains- taking eraftsmanship. Depend- able timekeeping has resulted from watches whose parts are measured in units equal to one 10,000th of an inch and whose styling reflects this precision of | detail. The shape, for instance, is either round or. square. But there are mumerous variations in detail. In ultra-slim wrist watches, for instance, the watch face, the case and the band are! all on the same plane. In others, the watch case may be given a three-dimensional look. One new design features a round dial in a hexagonal case whose shape is emphasized by a.tapered band wider in front form the skeleton for a unit of, area.

The original |} design is mounted on a plaque jand this first pattern is im- |pressed onto a mold. The in- | dividual sterling silver setting, |prongs down, then is fitted on |to the mold. - When all impressions on these molds are filled they are -turn- ed over to the soldering depart- ments. A hard silver. solder joins together the individual! set- tings into the pre-determined de- sign. | The skeleton unit journeys to | the plating room where it passes through a variety of acid wash- | es. | The stone setting then takes place, the four prongs in éach setting securing the stone firmly. The article is then inspected, polished to _ produce a_ high gloss, and electroplated with a rhodium finish. The successfully , merchan- dized expansion bracelet is an- other field in which Canadian companies have earned an im-} pressive reputation. - Dies, power and foot presses, and drill presses are needed for} the production of a wide variety | of expansion bands. Production | varies somewhat depending on} the methods employed by each} company. | Canadian firms are continu-| ally facing production and mar-| short production run of each} litem constantly confronts them| | due to loss of popularity in one than at the back. And some! round dials are set in a square | case. The dial face has changed | too. Numerals are giving way more. and more to gold or even diamond hour-markers. Some of these are given a three-dimen- | sional shape. Even the hands of the watch have new shapes. And some watches are distinguished by sweep-second hands. The idea of a watch as an integral part of a gold band is gaining with men .as. well as women. There are more and }more variations in bands for this slim type of watch. In addition to the familiar bracelet of cylin- drical links or.mesh, there are sign in the centre, or bracelets of wavy overlapping links.
