a certain reaction from the auster-

seems apparent in the matter OF
home furnishing, which suddenly
has taken on an unwonted luxuri-
BUSINESS. Particularly Is there no
stint Of drapery fabric. The dress
ings of beds are extravagantly
lovely. Canopies as well as espe-
cially designed spreads and pillow
covers are simply the rage. and
decorations are beginning to outdo
each other. Women are even or
dering negliges to correspond with
their funny bed and chaise Tongue
sets.
At the last meeting Of the Women
Interior Decorators Association
several members described bed
rooms that are being carried out
for millionaire clients. and others
spoke of things being done for
lesser luminaries in the moneyed
world, but all laid stress on, the

A bedroom done in French taste
with walls and carpets of biscuit
color, with a Louis XVI bed of
French satinwoodl has a canopy and
curtains of light mulberry taffeta,
lined with a still lighter tint of
mulberry pink. The canopy is at
ceiling height, and the curtains
fastened with rosettes to the wall
at either side of the bedhead. The
bed is fianked by two satinwood
commodes holding glass CANDLE
sticks with pink silk shades. There
is no footboard to the bed. but the
legs at the foot are seen through
corner slits in the taffeta spread.
This is made of mulberry pink
silk trimmed with ruchings and
edged with ruffles of deeper null
berry. A large piece of mulberry
silk divided into intervals of thirds
by rows of double shirring, and
edged all the way around with mar
row plated ruffling, is laid across
the pillows. At the foot of the

the author OF this pic
turesque pageant drama, consist
ing of twenty-five episodes by
means Of which the history OF the
Christian church in England and
America Is told. 1t is rather fit-
ting that Mrs. Andrews should be
the author of such a work as
The Cross Triumphant" coming
as she does OF church ancestry
her grandfather was the we'll
known DR.. Charles Minnegerode,
the wartime" rector OF old St
Paul's Church in Richmond. Va
While Mrs. Andrews is an author
of ability, her ranking talent per-
haps Is expressed in her art work,
an exhibition of which will be
given all this week at the Arts
Club. As the space for the ex-
hibition Is limited to the walls of
one room, additional work of this
gifted artist will be shown in
portfolios. Among the portfolio
contents are seventy-five drawings
with nursery rhymes that ap-
peared several years ago in the
Evening Star.
Mrs. Andrews has given to the
Smithsonian Institution. in the
name of her late husband, a me-
mortal collection of rare furnish
ings. tapestry and armor from his
studio in Germany.
Among the literary work of
Mrs. Andrews are two volumes of
verses, one, The Songs of a
Mother" and the other a collec-
tion entitled Out of the Dust" d"
Both OF the volumes were Illus
trated by the author. The latter
volume, which was published in
1920. contains a poem with a de-
cided local appeal. 1t is called
From the Seventh Floor of the
Shoreham, Washington" and the
lines are these:
An oId-world picturesqueness
Lies over Washington,
Clubs and homes and rival
churches
In the golden evening sun.
Catholic and Covenanter,
The Cathedrals rising spires,
Melt In one heavenly harmony
In the days funeral fires.
One mellow sky above them
One glory on them all;
1t touches sturdy meeting house,
And sculptured gothic wall
The red dome of St. Matthews.
And the Covenants gray tower
Blend, a silhouette colossal
In this still vesper hour.
And shall we miss the message,
As distinctions fade away
This Gospel for our comfort.
That the things eternal-stay?
In the shifting population of
Washington 1t Is unusual for two
generations to be born in the
same house. Mrs. Andrews, how
ever, has the distinction of still
occupying the house in which her
children were born and in which
was born her little granddaugh-
ter, the few weeks old Mary Lord
Andrews, the daughter of her son
and daughter-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs,
Eliphalet +. Andrews. This studio
house on Scott Circle was built
by Prof. Andrews during the
Hayes administration and is full
of rare "objets dart" gathered
from all parts of the world.

SEES REPUBLICAN GAINS
Southern Tariff Association Scores
Free Material Doctrine.

The republican party will make
large gains in the south in the next
congressional campaign unless the
democrats abandon the doctrine OF
free raw material as applied in the
Underwood tariff act, John Fl. Kirby,
president of the Southern Tariff AS
sociation. declared after adjournment
of a two-day session here of that Or
ganigation yesterday.
"As the head of an organization that
was formed as protest against the
pernicious doctrine OF free raw ma
terials," said MIR. Kirby. Il feel COM
missioned to warn the democratic
leaders and members of the Senate
that unless they repudiate the tarin
policy announced by Minority Leader
Kitchin on the floor of the House
April IA. 1921, and accepted by large
majority Of the democratic members
CT the House. then the solid south
will be broken"
Quoting Mr.. Kitchin's address to the
effect that "a sensible protectienist
will go to the party that has taught
and practiced protection for ffty
years. and not to the party which
has always opposed it," Mr.. Kirby de-
olared that against this announce
ment we place the demands of every
productive industry in the south fer
a protective tariff on raw material
and the signature OF 80 per cent of
the bankers of our leading southern
states"

TRAIN CONTROL ORDERED.
Forty-Nine of Larger Roads Must
WShoW Cause to I. C. C.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has ordered forty mine of the larger
railroads Of the United States. serving
practically all sections of the country,
to show cause on or before March Is
next why they should not be required to
install complete systems of automa tic
train control devices on their lines. The
commission included with the order u
tentative decision making 1t mandatory
upon the railroads concerned to install
the devices by July /, next, which will
be adopted by it unless the hearings or
dered cause a reversal.
Train control devices, the decision
said. have long passed the experimental
stage necessary to demonstrate their
oficiency. and exhaustive tests of their
operation have been made under the
commissions observation on a number
Of lines. The roads made subject TO
the installation required are those IN
which traff,c conditions and other con-
siderations make safeguards most de-
sirable. The action is taken under 4
section of the interstate commerce act
passed in 1906, which gives the CONF
mission authority to prescribe the
train control systems II these are found
to be necessary after an inyestigat ton.
