A short time ago the hallway OF a
home here was redecorated in the early
Italian manner. This house had once
been of an ordinary 1900 type. which
by highly skillful rcmodcling and
changing Of the entrance door to the
ground floor has been made into the
most charming house. The exterior was
of the old-Style red-paintod brick. but
has been recently repainted yellow
This increases the apparent size Of the
building and smooths over some OF tho
architectural defects. The doorway has
classic appearance. graceful and SIM
pie pilaSters surmounted by an archi-
trave Of square lines. The door itself is
of walnut divided into six equal panels.
II opens into small hallway with dull
red brick floor. from which one goes up
short fight of brick stairs to reach
the hall on the floor above. which WAS
previously the original entrance hall OF
the house.
In this case the decorator suggested
the simple form of the Italian Renais-
sance as fitting the irregularities of the
rcmodeiing better than the ma ajorisy Of
other styles This does not mean that
the walls. floor. ceiling. furniture and
accessories had TO be strictly Of the

red cord stretched from one to the other

very graceful. but one must learn to
expect to give when one reaches for
the rail, otherwise there may be an ac-

The stairway is on the right wall as
one comes in the front door To the
rear is a small door of dark paneled
walnut. On the left wall is beautiful
old casscne. an Italian chest of dark
walnut. richly carved with leaf pat

either end of the cassone. Contrary TO

On either side of the chest stand
great candlesticks of carved and poly

AS one can see by the accompanying
picture. this simple arrangement makes
very striking and decorative effect
A small hallway needs little besides
one spot of decoration. Just beautiful
picture to catch ones eye in passing

house.
For the floor the decorator chose

reds and vibrant blues.

H|T.RUN DRIVER
FOUND after HUNT
Girl Gives Police Tip That Leads
to Arrest

Stephen Marinesak, %, of 160 Nc
Clintock road. was driving an auto
mobile on Beaver street last night
about $50 o'clock without license.
according to his admission to the po-
lice, and when he struck a parked
car In front Of 207 Beaver street.
owned by Louis Iskra of 5 Common
wealth avenue. his first thought was
to get away without revealing his
identity and escape arrest for being
without the license. However, Miss
Anna Kenney of 207 Beaver street
saw the car being backed up and
driven away and observed that it was
cream color. but she did not catch
the registration number, as the lights
we're quickly turned out.
When Officer Daniel Cosgrove
reached the scene of the collision,
he found a bumper on the road. the
force of the impact having knocked
it off the offending car while moving
1skra's machine 30 feet and damag-
ing it considerably. Sergeants P.
A. McAvay and P. J. O'Mara and
Officer F.. B. Kelly took up the in
'vestigation and suspected that the
cream color car was one which they
had seen about the streets, especially
in the northwestern section of the
city. They visited several places
and finally located it in a garage at
the corner of Lyman and Horace
streets.
| While Sergeant McAvay returned
to police headquarters and COM
municated with the state motor We

tive to the registration. Sergeant
O'Mara and Officer Kelly waited in

someone to come after the car

! Marinesak admitted that he had
been driving, and charges of evad-
ing responsibility and driving with
out license were preferred against
him. His companion was not held.

must necessarily have been severely
taxed already and now have little to

heavily mortgaged for the mainte-

were able to report a greater dispo-

why he should not be cited for con-
tempt for failure to pay 1925 for

Mix recently was ordered to pay
his daughter $4,000 if she attended

not. At the time of his divorce Mix
was ordered to pay $50 a month for
the support of his divorced wife.

London, Dec. % OPT was gen.
orally felt today that the margin of
safety for King George continued
very narrow. The report Of the
maintenance Of a slight improve
ment during yesterday was well
coined. but it has done little to al
lay the anxiety generally felt over
the loss OF strength on Thursday.
Some of the views of medical
writers in this mornings newspapers
OF the kings condition were very
gloomy. The medical expert of the
Daily Mail said that recently the
king had not made progress but lat
| best he was just holding his own and
there had been considerable periods
Of Inconsistencies. Hope that prog
ress would continue until he had
gained some Of his lost strength
has unhappily for the moment been
deferred"
Interest Aroused
The gift of a quantity of Dakin's
solution by DR.. William O'Neill
Sherman Of Pittsburgh has aroused
considerable public interest. 1t was
generally understood that the en-
fployment of the solution forms no
part Of the new measures which 1t
was intimated the kings doctors
were contemplating in the hope of
lettering his general condition. 1t
was thought that the solution would
be used merely for the treatment Of
the local trouble in the chest.
DR.. Sherman, who is chief surgeon
for the Carnegie Steel Co. at Pitts
burgh. was associated with Lord
Dawson Of Penn, one of the king .
physicians. during the World War.
The solution was said to be a prep
aration of sodium hypo chloride and
was used by the allied armies for
sterilization of wounds.
The evening bulletin of the king s
condition said:
The king has had a restful day.
The slight improvement noted this
| morning is maintained"
Later it was learned at the palace
that the king had been able to take
certain amount Of nourishment
in the course of the day.
While it was noted that the last
two bulletins indicated that the dam
gerous relapse of Thursday had been
brough at least temporarily at a
standstill. it was felt that the danger
had not yet been overcome.
