When Informed that the metropolis

She wept when told that her two
small children had been brought up
from Virginia to meet her at the Bat
terry.
Mrs. Corson refused to consider any
comparison with Trudy Ederle.s In
speaking of Miss Ederle's achieve
ment she said:
1T was marvellous that a girl of
only 20 years should be able to do a
thing like this. / did not believe she
could do it, but she did.
There are two important phases in
a woman'S life. One when she Is a
young girl and the other when she is
a mother. Gertrude swan the Chan
mel as a young girl swan it as the
mother of two children"
II trusted to my mind rather than
my body" she said. in describing her
swim. After a man or woman is in
the water for 10 hours It is no longer
a question of what kind of stroke they
use, but plugging ahead, and this
did. I swan with my WILL"
She said that after she had been
out from Cape Gris-NeZ she was
seized with cramps and suffered Sc
verely for about 20 minutes, but would
not give up.

SUICIDE COUPLES

Remains of Mr.. and Mrs.
Doyle to Be Forwarded to
Providence, r. |.

The bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederic
H. Doyle of Brooklyn, N. Y. who
committed suicide in their room at
the Willard Hotel early yesterday by
taking poison, will be sent to relatives
in Providence, r. l., this afternoon by
a local undertaking establishment.
This is being done on the request of
M. D. Champlain Of Providence, a dis
tant relative of Mr.. Doyle.
In one of two notes left by the
couple, who said their motive for their
act was lack of MEANS" they left

ent of police to see that their bodies
were cremated and their. ashes not
kept.
Police were informed today that Mr.
Doyle was in the fumber business
with offices at 226 West Forty-seventh
street, New York, about a year ago.
He is said to have closed his office
on account of "keen competition. -
After he moved out he is said to
have left a forwarding address in
Norfolk, Va.
The suicide Of the couple, whose
dress and demeanor denoted their
culture and social standing, was ex-
pertly executed. In the brief four
minutes they had to live after they
swallowed potions Of the deadly poi
sion they each took a piece Of candy
to eat and calmly adjusted themselves
for their positions in death.

I would win this time.

about 3 o'clock in the morning, when
I was suddenly seized with a cramp.

Georges Michel, who has brought
to France the much-coveted honor
of a world-record swim across the
English Channel, several times had
essayed the task of mastering the
Channel, but failed. Perhaps his

Michel, the first Frenchman to
swim the Channel, is of herculean
build. He had been trying every
year since 1922 to make the trip.
His last attempt before today was
on September 4, when he was baked
by bad weather after being in the
water little more than an hour.
On September 1 Michel issued a
challenge to all the Channel cross
ers, but to Mrs. Corson in particular,
to meet him on his own river-the
Seine-in a race.

Wood Panel Work
Nice in Right Place

Like every other decorative feature
in the house, there is for wood panel.
ing a right and wrong place.
Bedrooms, being essentially inti-
mate in their nature, should express
daintiness, cheerfulness and restful-
ness; halls, living rooms and dining
rooms, on the other hand belong at
least partly to the outside world.
Hence their treatment calls for a
dominant note of dignified elegance,
Of formality, if you will, and 1t is
doubtful whether anything could car
ry out this spirit more impressively
than wood paneling. If the choice OF
rooms so equipped must be made, the
most formal Of all-the dining room
should be preferred, with the living
room next and the hall last.
The question Of the extent to which
the rooms should be paneled is partly
matter of taste and partly one of
expense. Cheapest of all is paneling
which takes the form of dado or OF
q. wainscoting, running from the floor
to the chair rail. An additional outlay
will run the paneling up to the plate
rail or door height and still more up

Two Plaster Coats
Now Usual Method

The total thickness for three-cOat
plastering should only be about three
fourthS of an inch. In small houses
and minor buildings two coats of plas-
tering is the prevailing fashion.
A base coat of about One-half-inch
in thickness, consisting Of one of the
patent plasters left with a rough sur
face and finished with hawk spreaded
white finish, or other patent white
coat finish is the cheapest form Of
plastering.
The finish to interior walls OF banks,
churches, etc, is either left foated up
on the brown finish or else with a
sand finish by the use of white mortar
and plaster of paris, according to the
needs.
Years ago In England, it was the
custom to mix venetian red with the
trimming or finishing coat on the
walls. This dried out nice pink
color, the ceilings being finished In
white.
One Of the reasons for this method
was because 1t was considered the
best to leave pastered walls for a
year or so in order to enable them to
dry out properly before painting or
papering them. and the pink color

Weil-ChOSen Pictures
Make Home Brighter

How to hang a picture so that it
will be In harmony with the walls
and furaiture of a room is an impOr-
.ant thing to know. The entire room
should compose" well, that is, 1T
should give a well-baIanced appear
ance in the matter of placing furniture
and wall decorating.
1t is a fact that very few people
who hang pictures on the walls of
their homes realize the Importance
Of the correct relationship between
picture and furniture. Often a large
picture is hung over a small piece
Of furniture, in which case there is
an unconscious feeling that the small
stand or table beneath that large
picture is in imminent danger of be
lng crushed, should the picture ever
fall.
Or again, over a large picture, for
instance, is hung a small picture that
IS completely lost. Such an arrange
ment looks quite as absurd to the dis
.erning person as does a tiny little
round hat perched on the head of a
great stout man.
AS a very general rule, it might
be said that the width of the picture
should be about one-half or twO-thirds
Of the width of the piece of furni-
ture. That is, the ordinary davenport
is about six feet in length, or as
placed against the wall, we might say
width" The picture should be in
rorrect proportion to the davenport.
The average desk is about three
feet across the back. The picture
that is hung above it should surely
be IS inches by II inches, to appear

BUILDERS
SUGGESTIONS
Cheerfulness and Good
Lighting Go TOgether

Lighting fixtures of good character
and design are as important to the
home apartment as fine furniture OF
draperies.
Beautifully decorated walls, furni
ture or furnishings cannot show u
to their proper advantage with poor il
Elimination. Poor illumination mean
nothing else but lighting fixtures to
tally inadequate to the needs Of the
ROOM
Modern, artistic, efficient, lighting
fixtures improve the appearance o.
the living room and dining room and
add to the joys of the home, as well
as providing comfort for the eyes.
The architect and builder will find
the proper atmosphere in his rooms
when the correct lighting fixtures are
installed. In order to obtain this re
suit, the lighting fixtures must har-
mOniZe with the general appearance
of the respective rooms, and be fin
iShed accordingly.
The selection of lighting fixtures
must be planned well in advance, 50
as to give the manufacturer sufficient
time in which to obtain the proper
materials which are cO-Ordinated will
fine taste careful work and attention
to the smallest detail.

An Artistic Feature
That Is Easily Added

There is little that makes a house
more pretentious or increases its size
in appearance than connecting pergo-
las and lattice work.
Since old-fashioned pOrches have
been tabooed the present buildings
have the inclination to appear
cramped and lacking in freedom which
the old rambling porches created. The
old effect can be restored and en-
hanced by a pergola. This may be
taken care of in the original plan, but
always is easily added to any home
without the least disturbance to the
building.
The one principle to be acknOwl-
edged is its connection with the house,
so it should harmOniZe both in struc-
ture and color of the house in most
instances.
Here. too, the suggestion for single
pergolas cannot be too strongly en-
phasiZed.
Far too many years have gone by
in which home owners have not real
ized that it was possible to build a
single post pergola and have it as
striking and effective as any double
pergola, and the cost is little more
than half.
The top work of the single pergola
can he made as wide as six or seven
feet with benches between the posts,
which give the same seating pOsSibili-
ties as the double pergolas. Also
little gatden entrances are generally
considered as being necessarily double,
but instead these can be very SMALL

a light top over them.

Protect Trees Which
Beauty Your Home

1t is a known fact that trees and
shrubbery enhance the beauty of al
most any ordinarysized building, yet
it is surprising to see the utter lack
Of appreciation of This fact displayed
by a great many contractors.
When working on a job they made
absolutely no effort to prevent grow
ing things from being killed, with the
result that there is not a live tree left
on the place when the job is done.
Trees are very easily killed by piling
ubbish about them or by knocking
off the bark. If the builder will take
care to see these things are not done
he will leave the premises in such a
condition that the trees will continue
to bloom.

Refrigerators Should
Be Vanished Annually

Even in well-made refrigerator it
is almost impossible to prevent
sweating" 1t is quite impossible to
prevent a difference in temperature
between the outside casing and that
of the room. Consequently any mois-
ture held in the room atmosphere is
bound to cOndensa on the outside of
the box. If the refrigerator is kept
well finished with varnish or shellac.
this moisture is prevented from seep
ing into the box, causing the panels
to warp, seams to open, WOOD to rot
This condition offers germs an oppor-
tunity to develop and causes ice to
melt more rapidly.

Paint Masonry

A masonry house with a stone or
brick exterior needs no painting on
it's wall surfaces and the painting,
which is one of the heaviest items
in a homekeeper's upkeep expense, is
greatly reduced because only the wood
trim on the exterior has to be painted
and that infreQuertly.
