Cat Whiskers Gone,
Radio Now Is Asset
In Home Decoration

Ten years after radio made It's
first public appearance In this coun-
try-then an ugly continuance with
cat whiskers" and ear phones-it
has come to be one of the most
popular, and highly valued pieces of
furniture in the home.
Where people formerly paid the
greatest attention to the mechanical
part of the set, today they take this
for granted. and are choosing the
radios for the decorative value of
the cabinets. All too many of the
earlier cases were horrible In design,
and failed to harmonic with the
other furniture In the home.
While there is still room for I'M
provement In the appearance of the
cabinets, great strides have been
made within recent months. Though
ful home furnishers formerly placed
the sets behind floor screens so that
they might listen without Earring
their esthetic sensibilities. Such
steps are necessary no longer, due to
the improvements in appearance.

COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE
MAY BE SEEN IN OHIO
Remained Until 1880, Long After
Atlantic States Took Up
Greek influence.

The late Colonial tradition in archi-
lecture fingered in Ohio until almost
1880. long after it had given way to
the Greek revival influence in the At
lantic States.
Especially in the northern part of the
State, which was settled by people
mostly from Connecticut, there can be
found farmhouses, townhouses and
churches that have the slender columns
or pilasterS, delicate cornices, window
and door trim and arches that recall the
New England work Of the period be-
tween the Revolutionary War and the
close of the eighteenth century. 49,.
There is, however, the difference that
the work in Ohio IS much simpler and
devoid Of the richness Of carving Of
which the eastern examples boast. This
was due to the fact that the buildings
we're constructed at the same time that
the forests were being cleared and roads
built and the people had neither the
time nor the skill necessary to carry
out any elaborate decorations in their
houses and churches
Despite the simplicity, or possibly
because OF it, there is a great deal of
charm in many of these old buildings
good proportion, well cut holdings, also
a sort of naivete. that was probably due
to lack of examples or books, as the
builders Of those days had to make
memory their architects.

TRAINING OF DECORATOR
MATTER OF HARD WORK
Preparation Should Include Course
in Art School, Also Study
of Fabrics.

The training Of q decorator is q mat
ter Of many years Of study and hard
work. The preparation should include
a good training in an art school special
1zing in decoration and allied work,
particularly design. paint mixing and
blending. Also, careful study Of fab
RIGS, their use for draperieS and cover
ings and the knowledge of their his
toric character as used in period work,
as well as an intimate knowledge of
cabinetmaking, the woods used. the I'm
ish and historical periods Of design in
furniture.
Floor coverings of all kinds should be
studied. with the large family Of Orien-
tai rugs. It Is also important that the
decorator should be familiar with light
ing fixtures, paintings, pottery and other
accessories.
In the wider practice the interior
decorator will plan, design and execute
or contract for the interior woodwork
paneled rooms, ornamental plaster work
There are decorators who specialize
in limited circles, combining their scope
TO some particular period historic OF
modern, to theaters, churches, Office or
bank work, bath rooms, kitchens and
closets. There are others who specialize
In figure and ornamental painting.

FATIGUE CAUSED
BY WRONG CHAIR
Height of Other Furniture
Also May Affect Work
of Housewife.

"oMFoRT in furniture has been
stressed over and over until
~ every one Is familiar with the
idea and almost every one
agreeable to it. But furniture
other than beds, couches and lounges
is something not every one has
considered as q cure for fatigue, &C.
cording to Washington furniture mer-
chants.
IAN eminent scientist has declared
that more than rs per cent Of the
American people suffer from over
fatigue and that that tired feeling is

before q more dangerous condition de-
velops. The Importance Of every aid
to rest and conservation Of energy can
not be overestimated," they explain.
Height Important.
"One Of the most important consid-
erations in regard to overcoming IA
tigue IN the homefurnishings is that
OF the height Of working surfaces. In
almost every room in the house there
are tables, desks, stoves, dreSsers OF
some other piece of furniture the sur.
face Of which is used for some activity
If this surface Is not the correct and
convenient height, the home manager
is likely to expend as much energy ad-
justing herself to the incorrect height
as she uses in accomplishing the task
itself. A great many pieces Of kitchen
furniture come in varying heights and
the careful buyer viii purchase the one
which is the most comfortable for her.
Chairs have q great deal to do with
fatigue. A chair may be something tn

may be something that Is very exhaust

which IS too high or too low or toe
large or too small for the occupant will
not be q restful chair.
Comfort II Stressed.
Dining room chairs may be very

dining room chair is one which call'
for no strain or effort on the part Of
the person sitting In it and which
makes an erect, yet relaxed, posture the
easiest possible one TO sustain while
using that chair.
"A chair for the kitchen may be tht
means of preventing fatigue for many
homekeepere. Many kitchen tasks may
be more eficient1y performed sitting
down. Kitchen chairs and stools match
the other kitchen equipment and are
so built that when not in use they may
be easily placed under the table or sink

LIVING ROOM HELD
MAIN HOME UNIT
Is Show Place of Dwelling,
and Should Be Fitted for
ThreefoId Use.

NAMILY life should center In the
r. living room, Helen Townsend
Barton, widely known authority
sets forth In a discussion of home
arrangement in connection with the
Home Furnishings Style Show to be
held here September 26-October 4.
Guests should find friendly greet
ing in the living room, where family life
should center" Miss Barton writes
THUS this room has a double reSpon-
sibility. Its arrangement must min
lister to the needs of every member of
the home circle. and at the same time
be ever ready to extend hospitality to
callers, to convey an impression that
makes your words of welcome ring true.
Standards Outlined.
"In the arrangement of the living
room, the show place of the home, there
should be three rnishings-conversa-
tional, reading and writing. In smaller
rooms ~7rlaps the first two may be
combined, or the second and third. The
minimum number of pieces for any
group is three-a chair, table and lamp.
Other pieces may be added, but never
have less.
AIIHlEC uTSL Tie conversational
group. with davenport or love seat, arm
chairs and occasional chairs, and the
essential tables and lamps. This group
may have as its center of interest a
fireplace or a pair of French windows,
q radio or an impressive piece of furni-
ture. Pieces should be close enough
together so that conversation can be
neighborly.
Then plan the reading group-one
or two comfortable chairs, with a lamp.
and table for books, magazines and
smoking accessories. Maybe this will
be dads corner" in which case select
a big, mannish lounge chair. with or
without an ottoman. Whenever two
chairs are used in group, remember
to use contrasting types.
Suggestions Are Given.
"One chair may be a large over
stuffed the other 4 massive, though
comfortable, chair. Where there Is q
youngster in the family one of the new
small size arm chairs will add q piquant
touch to the room.
"A writing group is a practical addi-
ton to any living room. In desk styles
there is almost limitless choice-the
colonial, Spanish, kneehole, secretary
and kidney types are among the most
popular For room without a fire.
place, the writing group may be made
the center of interest by adding a tall
pier case on either side Of the low desk,
using the upper, shelves for colorful
bric-a-hrac.
None of the groups should be shut
OF from the rest of the room. Set them
out in u or " shapes, with the open
part facing more or less toward the
center of the room. This not only
makes each piece more accessible but
also tends to keep the room as a unit"

types of merchandise. Flashy, ornate
trimming and gingerbread may go over
in New York, Chicago, Detroit or Holly
wood, but Washington they say.
Early American and Colonial styles
are rolling up popularity all over the
country. 1t has been fashionable here
for years. Washington was one of the
cradles of the Colonial style.
Woman has dabbled in color and
found it pleasing. Today color is all
over the house. Woman decided she
needed more compact styles for the
apartment. The producer made and
the distributor sold daintier, more re-
fined types of furniture.
The home Is a better looking place
today than it was a decade ago. And
It's all due to the little woman, WASH
ington dealers agree.

AMERICANS DEVELOP
DISTINCTIVE STYLES

The American people are developing
very definite style of their own in
dress and home furnishings.
The colors we demand are neither
the garish type, nor are they the
Shadowy, uncertain, somber shades.
They are clean colors, stronger than
pastel shades and yet not vivid; de-
cidedly bright but not garish.
Patterns are similarly clean cut and
simple, rather than ornate, and above
all positive.

A RI is becoming more and more
~ important In the furnishing Of
4 a the home, as Is evidenced by
the emphasis placed on beauty
in the home by the managers of the
National Home Furnishings Style Show
here September 26 to October 4.
The local style show is a part of the
national show, which Is being con-
Quoted in every city Of the United
States. 1t is sponsored by the home
furnishings dealers and manufacturers
for the purpose or giving the American
homemaker an opportunity to see the
latest fashions in furniture.
The time when Just any piece of fur
niture would do has passed. Mrs. Aver
age American is demanding that her
home be beautiful, and she is anxious
to learn how to make it So She has
learned that it is not use that makes
furnishings valuable, but rather appear
ance and comfort She wants her home
to be in style, just as she wants her
car and her wardrobe to be the very
best and the very latest she can buy.
Never before in the history of the
home furnishings industry has there
been concentrated and intelligent eff
fort to supply the homemaker with an
opportunity to see the latest home fur
nishings correctly and attractively dis
played. Never before have many home
managers had at hand any one with
whom they could consult about their
particular furnishing and decorating
problems They now have at their dis
posal expert advice and suggestions from
men who have been trained to solve all
the problems in connection with fur
nishing the home.
The bringing into the home Of beauty
and comfort does not depend on price;
1t depends on taste In selecting items
which make up the furnishings Many
women have felt this for q long time.
but have been unable to bring about
in their homes the atmosphere of COM
fort and beauty they so much desire.
The coming of the home furnishings
style show will give the home manager
this longed-for opportunity to see Diff
ferent arrangements of furnishings, va
rious combinations of pieces, and many
color harmonies worked out as guides
ar 7 inspiration to her in the furnishing
OF her home. She will no longer need
TO purchase this or that piece OF furni-
ture blindly and hope it will add to her
home the elusive beauty she so desires.
She may know exactly what she is do
ing and Just what the result OF the use
Of certain furnishings will be.

"JUST-BE-DIFFERENT"
RULE LOSING GROUND
More Emphasis Placed Today on
Good Effects, With Quality
First Requirement.

Americans today are becoming in
creasinly individualistic, and nowhere
is this more evident than in the homes
of the Nation.
We are giving more care and time
to expressing ourselves in the best way
possible. At the same time there is
less striving for uniqueness, and there
is less insistence on having something
different from the neighbors.
A generation ago people looked for
quality. Today they take quality for
granted and look for effects.

Queen of a Housekeeper.

Queen Anne possessed great pride in
her ability as housekeeper, as well as
her proves as gardener and seamstress.
Her love Of nature is mirrored in the
flower motifs Of the needlework of her
day. Groups of thrifty housewives gath
cred TO make covers for chairs and
couches. Gay chintzes, printed cottons
were comfortable and CHEEKY, therefore
much used, as were linens and EN-.
roidered tapestries.

Judge Winston's Verses

They are trying to stimulate
stock breeding and dairying
down in BERTHE, and one day last
week tho county was visited by
the stock train exhibit provided
by the State College and the
Atlantic Coast Line railway. A
crowd gathered to meet the train
at Kelford, and in the course of
the welcoming ceremonies Judge
Francis D. Winston read these
lines:
Farewell TO Cotton
Cotton, Oh, King Cotton
We've met to say goodbye.
Some may not do without you
But we're goin' to try.
You've come to be expensive
And most uncertain, too,
But there's a stronger reason
Why we say goodbye to you.
You've taken up with strangers
That we didn't use to know,
And you call him "Mister Wee
vil,"
And you even love him SO
That you let him eat your fat
ness
Which makes you cease to grow.
SO, goodbye, old King Cotton,
We shall plant some other seed
Like corn and oats and taters,
For folks and horses feed;
For cows and pigs and chickens
And every kind of stock,
Then We'll be sure and certain
To escape the auction block.
The poem appeared in the
NeaOs and Observer. When
read it to the Judges friend,
M. C.. S. Noble, and asked him
his opinion of it, he said: Frank
Winston is undoubtedly North
Carolina's greatest short-haired
poet"

ball players for Carolina. Wood
berry Forest, which is only a
few miles out of Charlottesville,
is the notable example. Our
captain this year, Nash, was pre-
pared for us by the Messrs.
Walker, the University of Vir-
ginia alumni who conduct Wood
berry. Thus we not only aid
ourself to beat Virginia at foot
ball, but Virginia contributes it's
valuable aid to the same worthy
end.
All this may be agreeable to
many Carolinians, who remem-
ber the long string of defeats
and want to keep piling up re-
venge, but l am against it. To
think of it-that | should have
to be- hearing talk, not of our
chances against Virginia, but of
what we will do against Georgia
Tech and Tennessee! The old
Thanksgiving Day thrill is gone.
And it won't come back until
we face the foe with a fair de-
gree of fear and trembling. My
football battle cry, then, is !:
More and, Better Players for Vir-
ginia.
But more and better players
will not solve the problem. |
am convinced that Virginia will
never overcome it's jinx until
Armistead Dobie is prevented
from making speeches at the
Virginia students mass meeting
preceding the game. He was
here teaching law this summer,
and at a party at Archibald Hen
derson's he told us that he had
spoken at all the mass meetings
in recent years. And in this
period the Virginia performance
on Thanksgiving Day has gone
from bad to worse. His elo-
quence, meant to stimulate,
seems to act as a depressant. |
heard r. b. w. COnnor tell Mr..
DObie, that evening at the Hen
derson home: IF it weren't for
the fact that we frOWn on COM
mercialiZation, we could afford
to pay your athletic association
a handsome sum for the assur-
ance that you would address the
Virginia team just before it
meets ours every year.
