HONEYMOON RISING
ON EUROPEAN "TRIP,
MINNIE. RUMOR AYERS
Mrs. Lynch Will Wed
DIR. CrichtOm I'm
Paris.

RUSY Dame Rumor would have
it that Mrs. Muriel Lynch's
trip abroad, which Is starting out
as special mission for the Gov
ernment-she is looking into the
emigration situation in southern
Europe, I believes to wind UP
as a honeymoon. The IMAM in the
case" is DIR. MACPHERSON Crichton,
whose attentions to the blonde and
handsome Mrs. Lynch have been
most marked all winter. He is to
sail for Europe before long, be-
lieve, and the wedding is to take
place in Paris some time in the
spring.
AS a matter of fact, this is more
than a rumor, for DR.. Crichton is
telling his friends about his plans
and Mrs. Lynch took some Of her
intimate friends into her con-
fidence before she sailed. They
will make a remarkably striking
pair, these two, for Mrs. Lynch
is by way of being a beauty and
DR.. Crichton is unusually hand
some and looks just enough like
the popular conception Of Mephisto
to be interesting.
Mrs. Lynch is q comparative
newcomer to the Capital. She
came to Washington some two
years ago and has been making
her home at Wardman Park Hotel
with her daughter, who was mar
ried in the early winter. DIR.
Crichton. who, by the way, is a
brother of Mrs. Snowden Ashford,
lives ia a pleasant old house in H
street, opposite the Metropolitan
Club, bat I understand that it Is
to be converted into business prop
erty and that he and his bride
will make their home elsewhere.
The romance dates, / believe,
from the time Of the ball given by
the League of American Pen
Women last April. at which Mrs.
Lynch appeared as 1.-THE Peacock"
in a marvelously effective gown.
THE rumor, this time from Rich
mond, hobs up again that Sen
ator Claude, Swanson is to wed
Mrs. Cunningham Hall, sister OF
the late Mrs. Swanson. But Mrs.
Hail denied this to me when she
was here a few weeks ago. How
ever
Then, there's a persistent ru-
NOR going the rounds that Sen
ator Thomas J. Walsh is to be
married again. None of my in
formants have been able to tell
me the name Of the bride-to-be,
although she is said to be a hand
some widow; but they back up
their assertions that there is a
wedding in the wind by calling
attention to the fact that the
Senator had trimmed his famous
'walrus" mustache to a jaunty
length. Up at the Capitol every.
body has been wondering why,
although the change makes the
Senator look ten years younger,
and perhaps this really is the
answer.
At any rate inquiry discloses
that Senator Walsh has been at
tentive to two women, both
widows. both strikingly hand
some and both prominent in So
ciety. And the announcement of
his engagement to either one
would cause a furry of interest.

Arranging Things to
Make Home Attractive

Heavens first law may be met I'm
the placing OF the furniture Of a room
by keeping in mind the simple princi-
pie that there must be a dominant
note in this just as there is In music.
All phases OF interior decoration are
controlled by this principle. Without
its application there is the worst kind
Of disorder, although we may become
so careless with ourselves and 90
hardened In our sensibiIities that we
are totally unaware OF the jargon we
speak every day In our homes.
The piano or the fireplace iR usually
the dominant note in the furnishing
Of the living-room. II you have both
In rectangular room the fireplace
takes precedence over the piano. II
there Is an alcove in your room the
piano may easily be given the proml-
hence 1t deserves. With fireplace and
plano both In the room 1t is generally
best to place the piano opposite the
fireplace II possible This makes q
good balance. In any event both
should not be on one side OF the room
unless 1t Is the inward side. Even
there 1t is not usually quite satiGfae-
tory.
The table should be against the wan.
1t looks well arranged In group with
q picture and chair. The picture
should be Of a character that win
look well with flowers. This also re-
Quires that 1t be placed high enough
to avoid being hidden In part by any
decoration that may be placed ON the
table. BY all means have a couch
that Is comfortable both to sit on and
to lie on. 1t should be so placed that
the head receives sufficient light dur
ing the day and after sunset FOR any
one to read without injury to his eyes.
Each easy chair should also be
placed with reference to good light,
mostly in relation to artificial light.
since sufficient evening light IL not 20
apt to be so widespread as IL daylight.
Although reading-chairs may Tn many
cases be well arranged In relation 20
wall lights, and to the perfect salts
faction Of the reader, nothing IL quite
so good as floor or table lamp. The
light from such sources IN not only
usually better, but II may be moved
TO suit ones convenience, and in add
ton is very artistic. and therefore
gives very pleasing effect In a room.
The easy chair and floor-lamp group
Is still further increased I'm convent
ence IL n small table IL added In IN
Frequently an "end' table Is the best.

Youth Is Emphasized
i'm Riddles Garments

Just because their years are few fin
number let no one for a moment sup
pose that our youngest members Of So
ciety do not take very definite stand
In the matter OF clothes. And she IN
indeed a clever mother who adroitly
manages to dress her small daughter
with good taste and appropriateness
and apparently gives in to the likes
and dislikes or a determined small
person OF the feminine gender.
Happily the rule OF simplicity In the
one to follow in choosing chfIdren's
clothes. But for all their extreme
simplicity 1t is really amazing how
very varied and very individual are
the modes for the modern child.
In the FIRST place there IL the mat
ter Of color. Every shade that APP
pears In grown-up costumes is also
used for diminutive frocks and costa,
but even the most intense shades are
20 cleverly handled that youth Is EN-
phaslzed.

WOMEN VOTERS MAKE
APPEAL

Washington.-The National League
OF Women Voters has made an appeal
urging all true, loyal American cit
liens, whatever their political faith
may BE-" to join in an effort to get
out to vote at every election, that de-
cisions affecting "town, county, State
or Nation shall be made, not by a
minority, but the majority" This ap-
peal, which should be of special inter
est to colored women, was made pub
lie through Harriet Taylor Upton,
Vice-Chairman Of the Executive Com
mite Of the Republican National Com
mittee, who hopes to get out at least
Is per cent Of the vote in the next
national election.

London Favors Fur
and Rich Velvets
PeItry and Heavy Fabrics
Used in Interesting
Combination.

One-half Of the fan models have
their skirts all plated together in
front with classical folds extending
tan-shape to the hem, and the other
aalf have every possible scrap Of full
ness strained right away from the
'front.' and punched up at the back into
what has a startling resemblance to a
oustle, or at any rate very full
Handicapped bow with long iiagonally
slashed ends which reach to the bot
tom Of the skirt or trail on the floor.
This last. of course, writes a London
fashion correspondent, applied only to
evening dresses.
But the bunchy back effect Is seen
on heavy cloth street dresses made to
be worn under short, flaring, wide
sleeve coats Of heavy embroidered or
brocaded velOurs or fur.
Fur is on everything. a foot wide
band around the bottom Of a velvet or
brocade cloak, cut as straight and slim
as a chemise dress, with a similar
straight band Of exactly the same width
set around the neck and dipping for
ward under the chin.
Lining for the new liquid" metal
fabric evening cloaks Is ermine or rab-
bit, showing in the immensely wide
turned-back cape collar, the outside of
which is upholstered in double bolster
effect with tiny jeweled buttons fixing
the padding at intervals.
Fur Is used on all the new suits, as
straight close-fitting curate band of
Russian sable around the neck of a
little rosewood brown velours made
with a straight hunting jacket and a
skirt finely plated across the front
breadth, but perfectly plain in the back.
No other fur appears on this suit; the
sleeves are close-fitting and widen
slightly at the wrist, but are fitted
with storm wristlets, just as hunting
coats are. These are made OF heavily
embroidered channels material and are
the only touch Of color.
Fur In broad bands and in tiny rolls
trims evening gowns Of metal lace,
pailleted crepe de chine and satin. A
bertha Of fluffy silver fur, extending
half way to the elbows, IL used on a
silver tissue dinner dress. 1t liz the

shows the Presidents seal in bronze on
a blue background and a large white
star in each corner. There have been
several different presidential flags, but
this latest one is not easily confused
with any other. The four stars denote
the rank Of an admiral or a general,
and the seal signifies the commander

Inverted Ribbon RuffIes,

An exceptionally new and distinc-
tive use Of ribbon is that Of setting
graduated rows Of ribbon onto skirt
so that the narrowest ribbon is at
the bottom OF the skirt and the widest
near the top Another unique fea-
ture OF this trimming is that the rib
bon is sewed Mt the lower edge In
stead Of the upper, leaving the upper
part Of the ribbon to stand out from
the material. The same application
appears on the small pulled sleeves.

only trimming, and the material Is ar
ranged In long, straight panels from
the shallow neckline to the hem,
caught at the low waistline by an
Egyptian scarf Of pearl, silver and dia-
mante-beaded gauze, fastened in front
BY an Egyptian motif and hanging to
the floor.
There is no hip trimming on any
OF the new models. The line from
shoulder to ankle is as straight as pos
sible and what fuIlness is necessary is
obtained By inverted pIaits or Sits OF
the underslip over which the circular
tunic or lace-founced outer skirt slip
gracefully.
This circular model is more used
than was first expected. But the flare
Is SO slight that on first sight the gown
appears to be straight cut. 1t is only
at the edge OF the fiounce that the
sweep is noticeable, and here it is &C
centuated by rolls Of fur or plated
velvet bands.
