The two narrow it ‘together and made a card. table while the end â€"units were used for stools or coffee tables.

While the balance of walls and woodwork were painted in a soft warm beige about the tone of the blond furniture, the walls behind the unit furniture were papered in silver which highlighted them Gramatically. The \shelves of the unii pieces were filled with books which lent a deeply glowing ‘color accent. While arranged along the top was a collection of antique objets d‘art, mostly Italian and French which brought greater distinction to the effect and proved again how interestingly traditional and modern can be comâ€" bined.

While leading his section the following day, a large numâ€" ber of Heinkel 111 and Junkers 87 airâ€" craft, escorted by Messerschmitt 110‘s were sighted. Squadronâ€"leader Aitken succeeded in destroying one Heinkel and one Junkers. He was excited. The sudden, dramatic stmmons had broken the monotony of the previous three nights. He climbed to his crdered height and remained on his patrol linre. An hour went by. Then came a wireless message, telling him the Iccaticon of the Germans who were flying from North West to South FTast; by a lucky chance, he was pro€eeding in the right direction. Suddenly, all the searchlights which had been sweepâ€" ing the night sky below him converged at a spot, throwing a brililant luminous effect against a large cloud.
