DINING ROOM
IDEAS

IT there is one room in the
house that should have special at.
tentien. it is the dining room. A
gloomy or even an uninteresting
dining room In more depressing
than are other rooms where fluffy
cushions or glowing table lamps
may brighten the dark corners.
The ferInaI furniture and the
necessary placement of it, in the
center OF the room, makes every
dining room stiff and severe at
the outset. and the clever home
maker does everything in her
power to counteraet this feeling
by gay color on the walls, and
careful choice of materials for
draperies.
In the one little house. the din
ing room depends entirely on its
decoration. 1t in a big flowing
design in soft orange. blue, and
green on yellow ground, and
though this may sound daring the
rest of the furnishings are so
simple that the brilliant color on
the walls seems almost a neces-
sity. Green painted furniture and
a very soft orange in the curtains
brought the rest of the room into
harmony, and the effect of space
and the decorative value that the
wallpaper gives to the four small
walls makes the room a charm
ing place in which to gather at
meal time.
Do not allow the dining room
to he without color. In needs
sparkle and cheer. and should
radiate happiness and comfort as
proper setting for dainty dinners.

the event appeared on the playground
card.
Shorb Is Candidate.
Shorb, who for the past two years
has been runner-up to Mccullough,
looms as the probable winner August 81,
but the history of playground athletics
Is that the favorites not infrequently
fail to come through. There are plenty
Fairgrounds who may surprise. The
event has proved increasingly 'attrac-
tive ever since 1t was made q part of
the playground program and indications
are that around so, a record-breaking
number, will compete for the title this
year.
Another event In which more than
usual interest is being shown is the I'M
limited class 100-yard dash which was
of Park View Playground. Eisinger of
Peabody and Quinn and Cross of Iowa
Avenue were figured to have the best
chance to win the century last Sum-
mer, but CORN came from nowhere
to triumph. 1t is not certain that
CORN will be able to defend his laurels
as he has suffered an injury.
More Conference Meets.
Two more conference meets are
scheduled for playground athletes.
Next Friday the Western affair will be
held at Georgetown University field
through the courtesy of Hilltop OIL

grabbed top laurels in 1928.
Colored conference meets Will start
tomorrow with the Western tests at
Howard University. The Eastern Con-
ference meet will be held on the Logan
Playground Tuesday and the Southern
Conference tests Wednesday at Car
doza.
Tennis Stars Saturday.
Boy tennis playground champions will
begin play Thursday on various courts
to decide sectional honors. Later East
ern and Western section winners will
meet for the city title.
Playground swimmers in the Western
section of the city will compete in an
elimination meet August 5 in the
Georgetown playground pool and East

August In the Rosedale tank. The
