NEW FURNITURE
BEAU TIT Ill,
PRACTICAL
Fall Styles Featuring
Brighter Colorings and
Originalities.

That new fall furniture fashions
combine the beautiful and practical
was the declaration of Mrs. Betty
Barrett, authority on modern home
furnishing, in a talk given last Tues
day over Radio XII.
The use of brighter colorings and
the development of more original de-
signs in overstuffed suites were among
the fall style indications discussed.
New overstuffed suites consist of dav-
EXPORT and one matching chair, and
do not include overstuffed rocker.
Occasional" chairs upholstered in
materials of gay patterns and color
ing are popular, especially high backed
wing models, sometimes designated as
"fireside chairs" Davenports have
much more of the frame showing than
formerly, and the frame is often elab-
orately carved.
NEW UPHOLSTERY.
New upholstery materials a2d col
orings, according to Mrs. Barrett, are
mohair, jacquard velours, cut velours,
frieze, and some monks cloth, in mole,
chestnut, walnut and light shade of
taupe. Damask and brocatelle, as well
as tapestry, are used on reversible
davenport cushions, and some pieces
are upholstered in a very fine grade
of sateen. Spanish reds predominant
in many tapestries, and many Of the
strong colors are used In damasks and
brocatelles.
Lamps were spoken Of as being used
in great numbers in the newer fur
nishing schemes, the tendency being
toward more restrained designs than
formerly. Occasional tables, sewing
cabinets and book racks in walnut and
mahogany were mentioned as popular
accessories.
LIGHTER COLORS.
Mrs. Barrett spoke of bedroom fur
niture as developing two distinct
trends, one toward the use of lighter,
brighter colors and the other toward
the use of walnut in three different
finishes. Among the lighter colors
which are being used are apple green
putty, gray, and the old reliable ivory.
Walnut suites are coming finished in
what is known as French walnut,
which is rich, warm coloring; Span
ish walnut, somewhat darker and with
less luster than French, and the dark
American walnut which has been pop
ular for some time.
Painted and enameled breakfast room
furniture is enjoying vogue, and drop
leaf tables are seen in square, oblong
and Windsor types, and some of the
new chairs are special low-backed
Windsor models. designed to go COM
gletely under the table when not in
use ....a

GONZALES GETS
NEW $4,000
Gil URCH
Presbyterians Supplant
Structure Of 1874 With
Fine Edifice.
By ANNIE REESE

Marking the achievement of a goal
long sought, dream of years come
true, Sunday, September was a
great day in the history of the Con.
zales Presbyterian church, the formal
dedication of the handsome new $780,
900 church edifice taking place on
that date.
DR.. r. NJ. Hall of Longview and
n former pastor of the Westminster
Presbyterian church of San Antonio,
who is a son of the Gonzales church,
his father, Rev. William Hall having
been its first regular pastor, delivered
the dedicatory sermon before a con-
gregation that filled the large au-
ditorium. Among them were many
former members Of the church who
had journeyed here for the occasion
from various portions of the state and
to attend the home coming service
held that evening in their honor.
A beautiful feature of the day was
the musical program, the fine pipe
organ, the first ever. brought to Con-
zales, being heard for the first time
at church service, However, over
thousand people heard Walter Dun
ham, organist at the Scottish Rite
Cathedral of San Antonio, who gave
a recital on the organ the Friday
night previous.
REPLACES OLD CHURCH.
A notable instance Of the occasion
was the presence of four generations
of the HARDWOOD family who have
been prominent in Presbyterian cir
cles of Gonzales and Southwest Texas
since 1858. They included Mrs. r.
NJ. Harwood, age 81 years, her son,
L. L. Harw6od, her grandson. Mil.
Ter Harwood of Harlingen and his
three children. Mrs. Harwood with
her husband. the late Major Harwood,
for years a ruling elder, attended the
first service held in the old church
building erected in 1874, the first one
owned by the church.
The new edifice, built of Gonzales
brick and modern in every detail, &C.
cupies the same site on which stood
the old frame building and much of
the material of the old one went into
the construction of the new one. Be-
sides the main auditorium and bal
cony with a seating capacity of 500,
the new building embodies a Sunday
school assembly room, eleven class
rooms, ladies parlors, kitchenette and
many other modern appointments, in
GLIDING a heating plant.

WASHERS ADD
BASEMENT Of
BARGAINS
Another Houston Street
Store Optimistic
Over Outlook.

That San Antonio merchants ar
optimistic for business this fall anC
winter was further indicated during
the week with the announcement Of
another important expansion BY
Washers. This well known Houston
Street store formally opened a base
ment shop given over entirely to
popular priced merchandise and bar
gain offerings. Saturday and through
out the day. the new department was
thronged with shoppers. While the
sales count was not completed Satur'
day night, it was stated by the man.
agement that the days total was sat
isfactory and it was felt that the new
basement was destined TO be profitable
and popular from the start.
The addition of this basement shop
was made at the expense of thousands
of dollars and was taken as proof
that Washers considers the business
outlook encouraging. Several Hous-
ton Street stores have announced adj
ditions and expansions in the last 80
days and an optimistic air pervades
the retail district.
FINE GOODS.
In the Washer basement the finest
array Of merchandise is obtained and
every patron is assured satisfaction,
as is the case throughout the store.
Now that school will open soon,
school children will need new clothes.
OF course they will want new shoes
or possibly new overcoats. All these
things can be found in the new base
ment. Women's ready-to-wear and
shoes are also in stock. Everything
is new. All the equipment is modern
which facilitates good service and
more Of il.
This new department covers prse-
tically the entire basement. The
prices are moderate and the quality
is the highest ever handled in an
economy basement. Different from
the average gloomy basement, Wash
er's Basement Store has very excel
lent lighting system. The light is re-
Elected throughout the department so
as to give the same brightness as day
light. This affords the customer ev-
cry facility for making careful selec-
lions.
COMPETENT CLERKS.
Clerks are employed who are ia
miliar with the stock and who are
willing to offer suggestions to help
in the selection of the most suitable
merchandise. Customers of Washers
Basement Store will be allowed the
privilege of charge as well as cash
purchases.
The arrangement Of the entire de-
psrtment is neat, consequently it at
tracts the eye Of the economical buy
er. Elevator service is provided as
well as is a stairway. The store
hopes to serve the public in every
way possible and is therefore assured
of success.
