PRICE $760.00 + EXTRAS ONLY AT HEARTHSTONE "WE SPECIALIZE IN WARMTH" 1360 Weber E. Hwy. 8, Between Kitchener Opp. Sheffield & Hivvay Market Rockton 743-3100 621-1505 months? — R.V. A. The selection of inter- esting fabrics and colors is most important in the few major elements you must decide upon. Designers Egon von Fur- stenberg and Marc Janecki illustrate this point in a very modern minimalistic apartment they designed around a peach and beige color scheme. They started with a pale apricot suede -look wall covering and plush carpet- ing in a similar color to give warmth and luxurious softness to the area. To that they added mod- ular seating covered in a cream background jac- quard fabric with tiny geo- metric accents of Wedg- wood blue, peach and adobe. The slim lines of the modular seating give a contemporary, clean -lined appeal to one corner of the room. Adding function to the setting are two matching ottomans with tops that lift open to reveal storage space. A cocktail table and a few plants, and a quietly contemplative Buddhist head atop a single pedestal were the only accessories other than a mirror and painting. At the windows the ver- tical lines of the high-rise are repeated with vertical blinds. The effect is one of simplicity and charm. Q. We have a sofa we apartment living room. Modular seating by Strafford Company is covered in a cream colored jacquard fab., ric with accents of Wedgwood blue, peach, and adobe. like hut it needs a new cover as does a matching lounge chair. We also have two wooden captain's chairs that were used by my grandparents. Should we have the divan and chair recovered or should we buy some new furniture? — A.M.P. A. Whether to recover or buy new furniture is a diffi- cult choice to make. In many parts of the United States the cost of reupholstering and price of new' fabric are so high that it actually costs more than to buy new furniture. You should consider how well constructed your sofa and chair are and how much it will cost to have them reupholstered, in- cluding the price of a good fabric you like and the labor. You may find this would be more satisfying in the long run than buying less well -made' -furniture with a fabric less to your liking. Consider the possibility of a good slipcover, too, when comparing prices. Of course, you don't have the same result with the slip- cover . but for some uses this less expensive option is a good one. Whatever choice you fi- nally make, be certain you have the fabric treated for soil resistance. This is a help in extending the good looks of upholstered pieces. Q. We have an older home with 12 -foot ceilings and four double -hung win- dows with a southern expo- sure. The room is 16 by 20 feet. What kind of window treatment should we se- lect? — T.N. A. The window treat- ment for your living room should be in keeping with the rest of your room — from a decorative and from an architectural point of view. If you wish a very tailored look, you might consider thin horizontal blinds or wide vertical ones, or even Roman Small details are what make your wedding special And the complete line of "Forever Yours" wedding sta- tionery by International Artcraft is one of those details.

And your menu. Jasmine, in the eyes of the Chinese, symbolizes womanly sweetness, and a dream of jasmine portends good fortune in love. The humble leek was eaten in mass quantities by Emperor Nero in the vain hope of improving his voice. Soldiers of ancient times believed that carry- ing leeks into battle would assure safe victory. The patron saint of. Wales, St. David, had Welshmen wear leeks in their caps to show they were successful in their battle against the Saxon invaders, back in the 6th century. For this victo- ry, the leek won its place as the national emblem of Wales. Along with all of its many mythical properties• and real uses, the herb is a boon in the ,-kitchen. The next time you reach for that simple clove of garlic, remember the little fellow was given to Egyptian la- borers for strength and courage while building the pyramids. Who knows what it may do for you and yours! You can even utilize your microwave to dry your own herbs 'such as basil, parsley and celery leaves. Clean the herbs, pat between paper towels till they're almost dry. Place in microwave and heat 1 to 3 minutes, mixing after every 30 seconds. Remove from oven, cool and rub be- tween towels to crumble. Repeat process if not quite VEGETARIAN VIEW When you dine, wine By DIANE SAVAGE What's high in vitamin P, helps prevent heart disease and is beneficial in the treamtment of diabetes? According -to an article in The Professional Nutri- tionist (Spring 1982), wine is all these things. A dry wine, taken 15 to 20 minutes before a meal can help to stimulate a flagging appetite by in- creasing gastric juice pro- duction. And wine ingested along with food seems to lower the tension often as- sociated with the urge to overeat. Wine is one of the best sources of vitamin P, which strengthens blood vessel walls and is neces- sary to the proper absorp- tion of vitamin C. It is found in the polyphenol molecule, ponyphenols being the pigment sub- stance which gives grapes their color. Vitamin P seems to pre- vent clogging of the arter- ies, while silicon, also pres- ent in high amounts, aids particularly in the growth of arterial wall tissue. The lowered rate of death from heart disease in the United States in the last 20 years may be due to wine's in- creased popularity here. And it has been found that among populations where wine is regularly ingested, there is a notably lowered instance of heart disease. It appears that wine, taken regularly and in moderate amounts, can be beneficial in many ways. Add a touch to soups and casseroles for improved flavor and drink a glass along with dinner as de- lightful ways to improve your health. (Today's recipes are from "Stay Healthy With Wine.")
