MAKE GUEST ROOM PLEASANT
Easily Done II Little Thought Is De
voted to Its Appearance and
Furnishings.

Now, when weekend visits are so
universal, even the most retiring fam
lilies are apt to find frequent use for
| their guest room.
Fortunately, the old-fashioned
spare" room is thing of the past.
And well it is so. Guests are no long
er left to shiver In its closed and un-
friendly shadows, nor to gaze in dis
tress upon the horrors Of Photographic
art which haunted its walls, nor to toss
in despair upon its more or less fur.
rowed bed.
The metamorphosis of the spare"
room into the guest room is only an
other of the delightful improvements
OF modern life. The modern room has
now become thing of joy. AZ clever
hostess, instead of making it re-
ceiving room for every family horror,
now strives to fill it with all that is
soothing and artistic
A charming scheme for such room
is In mauye and gray. The paint
should be Of ivory and the family pat
termed paper have frieze of drowsy
mauye peoples and the rug have cream
and mauye tones.
This scheme is not so expensive az
one might think, for good mauve and
green pottery can be had at low prices,
while mauve and green-patterned
chintzes are easy to get.
Little landscapes, which tone in with
the color scheme, should be hung on
the walls in narrow or silver frames.
A well-appointed writing desk with
dainty stationery, Is a necessity Of
every guest room, as well as little
framed card stating post and meal
hours.
There should be plenty Of room UNI
Uttered with the household bric-a-brac,
so that guest may place her own
belongings about her and feel instant
~ at home. Then food the room with
sunshine, and you have a guest room
full of enticement and charm, instead
of the ebIeakness of the old-fashioned
spare room, where ones friendship
was sorely strained if one stopped
longer than a night.

sumption Of an intimate friendship
with Miss Selma Lue and the babies
and the grocery, and she had almost
included herself, was uncomfortable.
And Blossom. who had always been
overjoyed at her attentions, refusing
to leave him for herself was the last
straw.
But. even worse, could the man have
meant to insinuate that she was CON
sciously exerting d charm, forkhim,
over Blossoms shoulder? The mere
suspicion of such a thing settled mat

walked to the front Of the store and

Mr.. Dobbs was a-saying jest last night
that the things he tells us about are
plumb educating. You must come
down often to see him." And within
yard of Miss Selma Lue stood the
helpless victim of her enthusiasm,
Blossom in his arms swaying with
sleep. The color of his face and ears
and the set of his square jaw told the
tale of his embarrassment which fared
up into rage surprising that which
burned in the bosom of his adversary
as she answered gently, very gently:
Thank you, Miss Selma Lue; am
sadly in need Of instruction in many
things" And with her chin in the air
and the suspicion of tilt to her very
classic little nose, Miss Cynthia swept
out Of the door without so much as q
glance eithersto, the right or the left.
Now amt she the sweetest thing!n
exclaimed Miss Selma Lue as she
leaned out Of the door and watched
the retreating figure with admiring
eyes, all unconscious of the snub and
the feelings Of the snubbed. "She's

a Restroon,

A room the woman of the house
calls the restroom" is papered in
soft gray and has green hangings. The
furniture is light oak with green sofa
pillows here and there, and the big
sofa is upholstered in green. The
window shades are dark enough
to subdue the light. Thus the room is
in the most admirable taste and
soothes the nerves. When the woman
Of the house is tired she runs to the
rest room for a few minutes and gets

GEORGE TOWN TEAM
- IS AT WORCESTER,
SURE Of VICTORY
Blue and Gray Nine Plans to
Repeat Treatment Ac-
corded Yale.

The Georgetown team is in Worcester
today, confident of handing out the
same treatment to the Holy Cross nine
that Yale received at the hands of the
Blue and Gray team yesterday at
Georgetown Field. The score was s to 9.
1t looked like a shutout for seven in
nings. but in the eighth the Blue team
got to Lynch for a pass, a single, and a
double, which brought in two runs.
Lynch pitched a steady game and was
exceptionally strong with men on the
bases.
Georgetown showed decided improve
nlent at the bat and started 10 land on
Scott from the outset. Sitterding, Muir
ply. and Hunt were the biggest slug
gers Of the day, the former pounding
out three-bagger and two singles in
five trips to the plate.
The Hilltoppers played with snap and
dash, and the many chances that Yale
had to score were quickly killed by good
pitching and clever support. Donneley's
handling Of ground-hit balls was a reve-
lation, the former Business High player
getting the ball to the infield in time to
keep runners from going to second on
hits that are ordinarily good for two
bases. Every man on the Georgetown
team broke into the hit column with the
exception Of Bunny" Feenan.

Hope to Turn Tables
In Hopkins Game Today

Catholic University hopes to be more
successful in its game against Johns
Hopkins today than was its fortune
against Manhattan College yesterday
when the New York team walked off
with s to victory.
The Brooklanders' inability to hit
Hanley is given as the chief reason for
the failure to win the game, as the
Manhattan twirler. though wild, was
exceptionally strong with men on the
bases. Hanley received excellent sup
port at all times, and in several in
stances what might have been hits
were: were converted into outs by the fast
work OF the visiting teams infield.
