A French Provincial Dining Room
BY GENEVIEvE HENDRICKS.

Although the early American fur
nishing is charming and highly de-
sirable, many may wish to turn from
it because 1t has, in some sections
of the country. become almost too
popular.
For those who wish to have their
homes distinctive and different from
those Of their neighbors and who still
wish to have the informal effect
given by early American furnishings
there are the choice Of rural Spanish
or French furnishings. The vogue
for these styles has just begun in
America and predictions are that they
will enjoy great popularity. Surely
they deserve popularity, for they
offer furniture that Is we'll designed,
sturdy and altogether pleasing. Also,
If we faithfully copy hte rural houses
Of France or Spain we can make our
homes delightful with the interesting
colors and quaint materials to be
found in the originals.

wooded knoll in the Rock Creek
Park subdivision. The dining room
ought to be charming when finished,
and since 1t may be Of interest to
others having homes furnished in the
French provincial style. a description
Of it follows:
The walls of this dining room are
to be finished in rough plaster and
painted a soft hyacinth blue, a color
little used in this country, but COM
monty used in France. The wood
work and the beams in the ceiling
will be of waxed pine, the color of
which will be very lovely against the
blue. The wide floor boards will be
stained very deep walnut and will
be highly waxed.
A lovely old walnut china cupboard
was OF first Importance and, as luck
woul1 have it, was the first piece to
be located. On it's open shelves, which
rise above the cabinet base to a height
almost to the ceiling, the owner will
have opportunity to place the lovely
old bits of pottery and china which
she now has and others which the au-
thor will purchase for her from the
Brittany china works. This cupboard
will occupy the center Of one wall
On either side Of the cupboard will be
placed side chairs, pair on either
side. Luckily, a set Of eight side
chairs was found, lovely old walnut
ones with their original reed seats.
Two armchairs of the same design
and wood are being made to match, so

very fine. The sunlight coming
through this glassware will give great
charm to the south end Of the room.
Curtains OF Chintz.
The curtains used at these win
dows. as we'll as at either end Of
the triple window at the opposite end
Of the room, are to be of gayly COL
ored chintz In a color between a
magenta and a wine color. It has
bouquets of charming flowers dotting
it's surface and Is a delight Of color
and quaint design.
The wine color of the chintz is to
be repeated in the checked Nor
mandy chintz, which will cover pads
to be tied on the side chairs.
The owner already possessed a
large plain taupe rug. This Is to be
dyed a deeper tone Of the magenta
or wine color. Under the small table,
however, Is to be a bit of old French
carpeting much like our American
hooked rugs, but softer in color than
those we usually see.

FINE WOODWORK FOUND
IN OLD SPANISH PATIOS

In many old Spanish patios, as we'll
as in some cloisters of the Californian
Missions, much finely carved woodwork
may be found. For instance, the pill
lars supporting the second story have
richly ornamental capitals, and the
balusters forming the balcony railing
are of finely turned oak or walnut
OF course, such details as these can
be afforded only by the wealthy; but
they are not needed to create a real
Spanish atmosphere. For many homes
may be found in old Granada and
Madrid in which the timbering is sim

COMMITTEE OF
WHOLE ACTION
is EXPLAINED
House Used That Method of
Transacting Business to
Speed Up Work

Speaker John w. Carr is the
nomad of the house of representa-.
tivcs in so far as his seat is concern
ed. During the session now drawing
to n close he has sat in the chairs Of
Mt least 30 members while their reg
ular occupants presided at meetings
of>thc committee of the whole.
Experienced Legislators admit that
the work Of the house would move
faster if the speaker retained the
gavel during consideration Of "gen.
eva, orders" which is the house
term for sessions Of the committee
shOe tut custom is tor the
speaker to relinquish the chair dur.
Ing such sessions and since there arc
only LIZ desks in addition to that Of
the speaker, he always takes the
chair made vacant by the elevation
to the rostrum of the temporary
presiding officer.
Gives More Freedom
The committee Of the whole" ar.
rangement in the house is vastly diff.
ferent from the system used in the
senate where all matters are threshe ed
out in regular session. It is resorted
to, Carr explains. in order to give
the members more freedom than
usually is permitted in discussions
on the floor and also to save the teo
ord. Another factor is that bust.
ness is transacted faster in the com.
mittee OF the whole because there
are no roll calls. Balloting other
than "yea" or may" is confined to
y rising vote.
At the close of the session Of the
committee Of the whole the speaker
resumes the chair and formal re-
port is made Of the business trans.
acted by the committee. The report
then is formally adopted or rejected.
In the case of hard fought issues
a request frequently is made to d.
vide the report Of the committee of
the whole if it includes more than
one bill. The issue then turns upon
the question Of whether the house,
in formal session. shall aDnrove it's
own action taken in committee.
A roll call vote can be demanded
on such matters and the result has
been to save an occasional bill from
defeat or to defeat one that had
been approved by the committee.
Must Answer Roll Call
The reason lies in the fact that
only rising votes are taken in COM
mittee on close issues and some
members fail to rise. either for or
against a bill. When their names
are called. however, the rules Of the
house require them to vote unless
excused. The result is that the total
vote on roll calls is almost always
greater than the total vote recorded
when the clerks count those; who
stand. go
Speaker Carr has rarely taken part
in any discussions in the committee
Of the whole at this session but when
he does his advice is needed. To date
he has. confined himself largely to
suggestions as to the form Of bills
or, their correct Interpretation. He
has never lifted his voice in a dis.
cussion pertaining to policy although
hes has voted with the Independents
on all. party issues. -. -
