Mrs. Frost Is
Sponsor for
New School
Wealthy and Prominent
Washington Woman Has
Opened School

A school for tiny tots Of
nursery age is the latest and
most ambitious project to
be sponsored by Mrs. Frank
Frost, of Washington and
California.
Endowed with the three
lucky gifts of youth, wealth
and beauty, Mrs. Frost came
to Washington with her hus-
band several years ago from
the West Coast. The couple
purchased a beautiful home
in the Capital and have rap
idly assumed the position Of
leaders in the ultra-smart
set in which they move.
Both are musical and both
have the leisure to devote
themselves whole-h -heartedly
to any project in which they
are interested.
Already Open
This fall Mrs. Frost is COM
pletely absorbed in her plans
for the school, known as the
Washington Town and Country
School, which opened at the site
selected on Wisconsin Avenue,
on September 80. Already she
has enrolled a promising list Of
pupils, including such little fu-
ture Social Registerites Peter
and Alexander Strong, small
sons Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Corrin
Strong and grandSons of Mrs.
Henry Alvah Strong. Both pa
rents of the two lads are on
the school board of directors.
Mr.. Strong is president Of the
board and Mrs. Strong Secre-
tary,
The Strongs come naturally
by their interest in education
and forward-looking movement
in child welfare. Mr.. Strong'S
mother, Mrs. Henry A. Strong,
was the organizer Of the Hattie
M. Strong Foundation, an insti-
tuition for the education of boys
and girls, with offices in New
York, Washington and a num-
ber of the larger Eastern cities.
Recently Mrs. Strong was deco
rated: by the French govern
ment with the Cross of the Le-
gion of Honor for her gifts to
the war-wounded of that coun-
try.
Pupils
Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan Phillips
are sending 5-year-old Duncan,
jr., to the school, and Mrs.
Frost has enrolled her own
small daughter, Emily, age 2h.
And so, also, have Mr.. and
Mrs. Donald McKnew their two
little girls, Betsy and Florence.

A Budgeted
Period Room

Right off. an explanation.
That by period room" we don't
mean a room furnished in an
tiques. We mean a room fur
nished with pieces that copy the
lines Of the antiques Of the
period. Which in this case is
18th Century.
Modern non-period pieces can
be used in a room like this, too.
The sofa is one such piece, and
it can be found for even less
than the $75 we've allowed in
the budget.
Our rug is the next coStlieSt
item. For no more than $65 you
The Washington times., 1930-10-11

can find good oriental patterns
with the same sort OF design
found in the real orientals that
were used with original 18th
Century furniture.
Seven-fifty each buys the little
book table and the candle-type
lamp that make the end OF the
sofa a good reading spot.
Writing Group
To make it comfortable to
write. we've spent a total Of
$65. Fifty for the Federal
American type secretary, IS for
our windsor chair and $40 for
our Early American floor lamp
that harmonizes perfectly with
the Eighteenth Century pieces.
OF course, we want mirror
to give distance to our room.
The one with the top that goes
with the secretary costs us $1O.
The console table beneath $1o.
In the architects plan, the
room has three windows. Glass
curtains and the draperies in
the scenic pattern chintz come
within $40.
Reading Group
In the inset you can see q
pleasant reading group tnat
also fits into this room. You
can spend $45 for the lounge
chair, as we have done-or
from SIS to $40 less and stu
have good lines and com1ort.
A pie-crust table-typically
Eighteenth Century-goes into
the budget at $40. But you'H
find them for a little less some
times. And the very simple
pottery lamp is only $3.50.
Since more than one member

plan for the whole room en-
Semble.
And by planning furniture in
groups in this way, you always
find your room doesn't need
quite as much as If you'd
merely set separate pieces along
the wall!
It's not only in living rooms
that you find these grouped
furniture ensembles. Halls and
foyers have their console
groups. Bedrooms have their
reading or sewing groups. :.
their lounging groups Of chaise
Tongue and little tables for the
magazines.
And almost every bedroom
needs a dressing table group
of some sort-that'S decorative
as well as useful. You'll find
the one illustrated below is a
pleasant arrangement-lowbo
chintz-covered stool and lamp.
One that won't stretch the
budget too far, either!

Unpainted
Furniture
There's more than one way
to kill a cat" One way to keep
the budget down and still have
good-looking furniture, is to buy
unpainted pieces and stain them
yourself.
The odd pieces that do so
much to fill up a corner-little
tables, book shelves, toilet tables
and footStools-are made in ex-
cellent reproductions Of period
styles. And it's not hard to
finish them.
The Washington times., 1930-10-11

Coverings
Many furniture stores have q
helpful idea. They cover their
sofas and chairs in denim in
stead Of the usual muslin. And
this denim covering is good
looking enough to use as it is.
Then later on you can have
your pieces covered with what
ever material you like.

of the family usually wants to
read at the same time. a second
reading group is a wise idea.
There's one sketched at the left
that goes into a part OF this
room that the large picture
doesn't show.
This Queen Anne occasional
chair is a popular living room
chair that can be bought for $35
and less. Another $40 for
a floor lamp and $3.50 for the
little end table to hold an ash
tray-and the group Is COM
plete.
Extra Pieces
We still have SIS left for an
extra chair-which most rooms
need. For this, a sturdy, open
arm chair. CTS not sketched0
Then $40 for book shelves to
hold the best sellers. And then
a pretty good looking Eighteenth
Century room with a touch OF
modern has been put together.
And such q room doesn't have
to be Eighteenth Century. Early
American or Federal American
both favorite periods for living
roomS-can be done nicely for
the same approximate budget.

Small Groups
Help Budget

This fashion for grouping
furniture-which has been illus
trated in the budget living room
is really a help when it comes
time to plan expenses.
Because it's so easy to take
any piece of furniture you may
have and around it build up a
group that fills an empty space
and puts new interest into the
entire room.
Any odd chair, for example,
can become - reading group, If
a table and lamp are put by
it.
Or an extra table can be
turned into an attractive end
wall group with a mirrior
above it and q lamp casting re-
Elections into the mirror.
While a sofa, given the COM
panionShip Of a chair, makes q
convenient grouping for pleas
ant conversation between two or
three or more.
Fill Spaces
IF it's an entire room you're
furnishing, the immediate neceS-
sites can be installed at once.
And later on-it's easy to fill
empty spaces with individual
groups, one at q time. Groups
which, Of course, have been in

The boy who showed the way

she had said, Go, please"
The boy took the hint, closed
the door behind him noisily.
Raquel looked about her.
There was a bed, green with
painted flowers. A bureau to
match, low with a wide, flaw
less glass on top of it. Did she
really look like that? Slim.
Her skin was a shade darker
than a magnolia flower. How
thick her hair was, and black.
Like shining coal. There was
a desk with writing paper. A
telephone and a lamp with
yellow shade on a table by
her bed.
Two doors. Raquel opened
one cautiously. A shiny white
room with a tub in it. Turn
this handle and hot water ran.
Turn this one and the water
was cold. She could bathe
every day, twice a day, if it
pleased her. Perfumed soap.
And towels enough to last a

OUR RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis.


This Patience
This patience is a lofty trait
And given to lofty souls alone:
The mean, the weak have
never known,
Can never learn how wise men
wait.
For Folly asks a quick return
Of all the ships she freights
with dreams.
Forgets how long the harbor
CLEANS
AS empty as fond hearts that
yearn.
And Pride will never brook
delay,
But must be served with eager
haste;
While Greed would grasp
life's cup to taste
Before the wine be Snatched
away.
Unmoved by ever-moving time,
Unheedful of the flying days.
With something god-like in
it's ways,
This patience is a thing sub

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 19, and in love with a
fine young man, four years my
senior. He has a good business
and is very steady, but he is a
Greek and his parents speak
almost no English. What do
you think of such a marriager
My family disapprove.
DOROTHY.
Once upon . time. Dorothy,
the Greeks were the most ad-
mired people in the world, and
for good reasons. I do not see
any reason why an American
girl should not marry q modern
Greek, If he is as eligible as
this young man appears to be,
and I hope your family will re-
consider their objection. Since
the young man grew up in this
country, there is of course, no
language barrier between you,
and as for his parents speech,
it is surely not surprising that
they speak the language of their
own country, rather than ours.
