RUMAN|AN DELEGATES
ANNOUNCE REF FUSAL TO
SIGN PEACE TREATY

Paris, Sept. 9.-The Rumanian dele
CATION to the peace conference announc-
ed today that it would not sign the
Austrian peace treaty, the signing Of
which by Austria and various other
powers interested is set to take place
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Before the Rumanian announcement
was made ii had been indicated by
members of the supreme council that
Rumania was expected to take the
course she has announced to grant her
the privilege of making reservations
in connection with the rights of min
critics in territories detached from the
former Austrian empire, as provided
for in the peace treaty.
1t is also considered as improbable
that the Jugo-Slav delegation will sign
the treaty. 1t will be granted several
days delay, however, to communicate
with its home government. The Jugo-
Slav objections are similar to those Of
Rumania.

ba, Il years old, a Pole, recently dis
charged from the United States army.

Mirrors are becoming quite the rage

derful effects with the new glazed
chintz curtains which are placed at

The possibilities for Transforming a
hopeless room into a thing of joy are
limitless if some OF these delightful
pieces are used singly or in combina-
ton. If used as shades, even those of
brilliant colorings shut out the light
sufficiently without darkening the
room and at the same time pronounce
the color note for the whole scheme.
For instance, If one has a dining room
which has a tendency to be somber,
what could possibly be prettier than
to place vivid chintz shades at the
windows, use wide hemmed scrim cur
tains over them, and repeat the chintz
in separate cushion covers for the
chairs. Or in hall, where there is a
window at one end, one could have a
shade of, Powered chintz, over curtains
OF point d'esprit, and side drapes OF
apple green linen crash. A console
holding a piece of Chinese porcelain
or a bowl Of garden flowers would
