Betty's new automatic dishwasher is designed for apartment dwellers; it's on rollers, so that it can be moved along with the rest of the furniture. As for deep-freezers, Betty wouldn't think of the low, chest-type any more; the new Westinghouse is upright, with "drop-down doors" and "rollout drawers," so that Betty can get at all her frozen foods easily. Her new steam iron eliminates the old pressure method of spreading steam, since it has a mass of little gullies on its bottom which lead the steam across the entire ironing surface...
...pachinko machine (cost: $20) stands upright to save space. From the owner the player buys a handful of small steel balls at 2 yen (½?/) apiece and drops them one by one into a small hole on the right side of the machine.

...escaped to the south of France with only some photographs of Tolstoy, several sketches given her by Rodin and the clothes on her back, and went to live at Banyulssur-Mer near her friend, the sculptor, Aristide Maillol. The only instrument in her pension was a battered old upright piano. Late one night, when everyone else was in bed, she sat down and played until morning. When the proprietress came down, Landowska inquired whether her playing had disturbed her. "But no," she replied. "I do not sleep well since the war, but your banging put me to sleep...
