even more delightful. There is
nothing "old-timey" about the latest

are huge cabochon-like affairs of
jade or onyx backed and narrowly
bordered with silver and entirely

The Smart High Comb.
As I stood thinking of the way in
which a distinctive ring can accent
the grace of ones hand at a dinner
or evening affair, the buyer called my
attention to a number of exceptional
ly smart high combs. And / know
you will like to hear about them, for
no occasion couture is considered
finished this season without one.
The fan shape is a favorite at the
moment although many do not think

and for Winter, when cut flowers are
scarce or very expensive, it may be
converted into n oldfish bowl.
There is another little rule to keep
in mind in the artistic furnishing Of
a house, and that Is, that It pays in
the end to pay q round price for
something that is really good and
will prove satisfactory rather than
spending money on a number of
doubtful articles. One good piece OF
Japanese tapestry is better for a
small table mat than all the medi-
embroidery In tho world. And
one really good painting adds more
to the effect Of a room than all the
cheap prints in creation.
So here are just a very few of the
dos and don'ts of interior decorating.
Remember not to introduce Earring
color notes, and not to oyercrowd.
Remember that the best effects are
the most simple, and that one really
beautiful article is worth a whole

The Use Of Candles.

Dos and Donts for the Home Decorator With a Slender Purse

And then, signing again. she throws

AVEN'T you frequently met a
woman who was inexpensive
ly gowned, yet who radiated
an atmosphere of exquisite taste and
unusual smartness? And If you had
stopped TO reason out Just how you
received this impression, you are
very likely to have discovered that it
was due to her irreproachable and
distinctive accessories.
l would not be SO absurd. O,
course, as to say that a handsome
pair of slipper buckles, for instance,
would redeem careless grooming or
n deplorable lack of Judgment in Sc
Letting ones attire. But given the
right background, and the little
touches which one adds seemingly
trifing in themselves assume the
utmost Importance.
Tho Carefully Adjusted Veil.
You know how ones eyes almost
unconsciously focus upon a miser-
ably adjusted veil. no matter how
charming is the gown with which it
is worn. And is so difficult, isn't 1t,
TO arrange the lower edge neatly?
Many of the newer wells are made
with the edge ornamented, either
with chenille dots in graduated sizes.
or with a scroll-like design in silk
stitchery. This not only provides a
decorative note. but it makes the
veil so much easier to handle. One
smart shop is displaying wells with
the ~slenderest of silken braids ap-
piled in novel designs and with a
silver wheel-like affair at either side.

Senator Reed Of Pennsylvania, head
of the Senate committee appointed to
investigate the Veterans Bureau,
conferred with President Harding to-
day and told him the committee
would organize tomorrow.
For a while the committee will hold
its sessions IN Washington, but later
may go to other cities.
Senator Reed said that the commit
tee counsel and stan would make a
preliminary investigation of matters,
to determine which were Of sufficient
Importance to be brought before the
committee itself. He indicated that
open hearings probably would be de-
layed several weeks.
Hines Takes ONCE.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines. who was
sworn in last night as director Of the
Veterans Bureau, succeeding Col.
Charles r. Forbes, resigned, issued a
formal statement today in which he
declared that he hoped the congress

has been ordered will be beneficial
not only to the veteran, but to the
bureau itself"
His statement follows: "The books
and records of the United States Vet
erans' Bureau in Washington, as we'll
as in the field, will be made available
for Senator Reeds committee at all
times. Instructions have been issued
to furnish the committee full and de-

into.
Full cooperation in every way
will be given, and it is to be hoped
that the inquiry will be beneficial.

Gen. Hines, whose nomination was
by the Senate late yester-
day, was sworn into office shortly

LAW MAY Be URGED
Commissioners Consider Re.
quest for Legislation to Give
Them Regulatory Powers.
Bands Reported MobiIixing.

The District Commissi oners are con-
sidering recommending legislation
to Congress to give them definite
powers in controlling fuel emergen-
cies Col. Keller, chairman of the
Public Utilities Commission, indicated
today.
Employees Of the commission. under
Walter c. Allen, executive secretary
are now engaged in compiling a
complete report on how the coal
situation was handled here this win
ter. When these data are available the
Commissioners will determine what
legislation, If any. they should rec
ommend to Congress for future crises.
Lacked Definite Power.
While the Utilities Commission,
with the cooperation of the coal
merchants, was successful In obtain
ing a fair distribution of the coal as
it arrived at the dumps. that success,
officials pointed out, was achieved
without definite legal powers
Col. Keller let it be known today
that the coal merchants, as a whole.
worked with the District authorities s
in an effort to meet the problem
of keeping the homes of the city
warm on less than 60 per cent of
the amount of hard coal which came
to Washington last winter
The system hurriedly worked out
and put into effect last fall was
voluntary one, however, and Dis
triot officials apparently feel that
there should be definite legal
method for handling such an emer-
gency in future.
Col. Keller said today that the
principal aim of the commission in
assuming control of fuel this winter
was to insure an equitable distribu-
tion, and he expressed the belief that
the desired result was obtained in
nearly every instance.
Fee Is Requested.
Realizing that special clerks would
be needed to classify those blanks
and keep track Of the deliveries to
each consumer, the commission asked
the dealers to defray the expenses by
the payment to the collector of taxes
of a fee Of cents per ton on coal
received.
When it was learned that the Penn
sylvania commission had allotted
Washington only 60 per cent Of the
anthracite the city normally receives,
the commission decided the only
logical thing to do was to limit each
individual consumer to 60 per cent of
his anthracite requirements.
This rule Is still in effect, but if
balmy spring weather continues the
commission may remove the restric-
ton within two weeks.
