American housewives seek table elegance in home dining
Reports from the Congress on Better Living in Washington reveal American housewives’ long standing interest in table settings. McCall’s recruited 100 expert homemakers from 160000 candidates to study china sterling silver and stainless steel patterns and habits. Delegates emphasize well set tables boost appetite, teach manners, and reflect individuality. They rotate patterns to avoid monotony and resist duplicating plated ware. Debate on dual purpose silver versus full place settings splits, with both sides noting practicality and guest needs. Findings aim to guide buyers and producers in home furnishings.
