character of the room and GER
tainly bring out the character
of the bed itself. The low, four
poster beds in this room are of
mahogany and, with these
spreads, have o somewhat
formal appearance. Instead Of
the ruffled spreads, patchwork
quilts might have been placed
on the beds and allowed to
hang over the side board, or
might even have been tucked
in to display the side board.
Immediately the beds would
appear informal and quaint.
To carry out this effect the
over-draperies could be taken
down and the crisp, organdie-
glass curtains left by them

In a room the entire color
scheme may be changed by SIM

on a different color. Here the
walls are papered in an all-over
floral pattern with green leaves
and flowers of yellow and rose.
The green of the paper is the
dominant note; by making yel-
low or rose the most important
color, and Subordinating the
green, an entirely different ef-

Women of today are so vitally
interested in making their
houses comfortable and attrac-
tive that they long for a chance
to change or refurnish them.
Spring is the logical time for
this. Suggestions such as these
have a far-reaching effect and
can be followed without great
expense. In fact, they are based
on common sense, and wise

Make Living
ROOmReGUy
LiU0bIe
By Hannah Wing

The most interesting prob
lens in house furnishings are
those of refurnishing. When
everything can be purchased
new, very little ingenuity is
needed. But to give an as
sembly of furniture which one
is quite bored with, a new and
enticing air, clever manipula-
ton and careful plans are nee
eSsaray.
If your furniture is slightly
worn, slip covers offer an effec-
time means of transformation;
not the loose dingy covers which
we're used as protection
against dust when houses were
closed for the summer, but trim,
well-tailored ones for all year
round use.
For slip covers select a Gre
tonne or chintZ with a we'll
covered ground; use it on the
davenport and one chair, or on
the two chairs. Cover the odd
piece in a heavy linen, cotton
crash or rep which picks up one
of the colors in the chintz. In
this way a pleasant diStribu-
ton of plain and patterned sur
faces Is achieved.
Much can be done with a
bookcase and desk grouping in
a room having no fireplace.
Books always create a friendly
atmosphere and the upper
shelves of bookcases offer an
excellent opportunity for still
life pictures Of candlesticks,
pottery and bric-a-bracs which
various members of the family
have collected. These should
be arranged with careful atten-
ton to color and form, so that
the final plan might really
serve as an artists study. Pots
OF growing ivy should also be
considered. Ivy is so easily
cared for that no living room
seems quite complete without
these glistening green leaves.
If your are adding any new
pieces of furniture, consider
small tables: few rooms have
enough for real convenience.
New lamps also offer excellent
decorative possibilities and a
medium sized room needs four
or five table lamps if every cor
ner of the room is to be ade-
quately lighted.
Accessories are enormously
important in rooms of this
type. Even miscellaneous as
Sortments of furniture can be
given a period air through
careful choice of small units.
Gradually electric candle Scones
can be substituted for the pres
ent lighting fixtures, a drum
table can be placed beside a
fireside wing chair, a small
Duncan Phyfe table can be
bought for the end of the
sofa, and reproductions of old
lamps and pictures can be col
lected.
The Washington times., 1930-03-25

Every room in the house may
be put into summer dress with
charmingly decorative results.
The hall and stair-carpet may
be taken up and even the dining
room chairs assume a festive
air when dressed in q gay
chintZ.
A bedroom, however, may
more easily be transformed
than any other room. Simply
changing the bedspreads gives
it an entirely different appear
ance. If lace bedspreads and
bureau ScarfS have been used
all winter, it is wise to put
them away in the spring, and
to substitute simpler summer
covers, which can be more
easily laundered.

WHY NURSE A
CROUCH?
Bv Lucy Lowell


LIE is a nice little old person
IL and not so very old,
either; not more than so or
thereabouts not nearly old
enough to be as Grabbed as he Is.
You may meet him and talk
with him a long time and go
away thinking what a per.
fectly charming person" For
he can be quite fascinating
when he likes, full Of a dry
humor and a viewpoint original
as it is intriguing.
OF course he is rather i'm
portant; you would know that
by the way he puffs out his
chest like a pouter pigeon and
by the way he "harrumps" be-
fore he says something he con-
siders of consequence and by
the slightly chilled glance he
turns your way If you fail to
agree with him in this or that.
But it is after you've met
him several times and really
understand him a bit that you
come upon what you may call
his hobby, complex, mania or
penchant, according to who you
may be and how you happen to
look at it.
He always is going to sue
somebody. He is forever max
ing the threat, and the threat
quite evidently is backed up
by the purpose and intent, and
those, in turn, spring from
some strange state of mind,
some warped viewpoint, ac-
quired goodness knows when
or how.
He is going to sue the land
lord because the furnace had
to be repaired and the heat
turned off part of the day.
He is going to sue his neigh.
bor because the neighbor'S dog
dashed across his lawn and
trampled a tiny corner of hedge.
He wants to sue his business
rival for some ill-natured but
harmless remark; it Is said he
even talked of suing q bridge
partner for doing some one of
those stupid little things peo-
pie do at bridge.
OF course, he never actually
gets into court with all of these
projected suits. But he fumes
and fuses and wastes as much
energy and good-nature as if he
did.
And it is all very silly. But
don't many Of us act just az
silly about our grouches?
A crouch is waste of good
time, good thought, good dis.
position and often good friends.
Why nurse a crouch?

MAKING SOUP
IN THE OVEN

COME of the favorite old-time
~ family soups seem to have
gone completely out of fashion.
The convenience of the canned
soup is undoubtedly preferable
for every day-but once in a
while it would be a rare treat
to taste old-faShioned bean soup
or corn chowder if it weren't
for the time it takes to pre-
pare it.
However, the oven regulator
now makes it possible to put
the soup in the oven and for
get it-no watching or stirring.
And these oven cooked soups
have Sayoriness that the
watched pot" soup never had.
Vegetable Soup
1 knuckle veal
cups cold water
cups carrots
cups celery
l onion
l tablespoon salt
teaspoon pepper.
Place the knuckle of veal
which has been cracked at the
butchers in a kettle large
enough to hold the above in
gradients. Scar the meat in a
heat-controlled oven with the
red wheel set at 500 degrees for
20 minutes. While the meat is
soaring prepare the vegetables.
Wash them and chop very fine.
Add the cold water, vegetables
and SeaSoningS to the veal.
Cover the kettle and place it in
the oven for three hours with
the regulator set at 275 degrees.
This recipe will make about
six cups of delicious soup. The
vegetables can be served in the
soup or strained from it if de-
sired. There will not be much
fat in this broth.
Split Pea Soup
cups dry split peas
2 quarts cold water
l pound end of ham
n cup celery, diced
l onion, cut fine
teaspoons salt
h teaspoon pepper
tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
Wash and soak the peas over
night in 2 quarts of cold water.
Place in the soup kettle with the
ham which has been skinned,
the celery, onion, and season
ings. Cover and place in the
oven at 275 degrees for three
hours. Remove from the oven
and strain. Place on a surface
burner with the flame turned
low. Cream the butter and
flour together. Add one cup
of the warm soup stock slowly
into the hot soup and stir until
it reaches the boiling point to
cook the flour. The constant
stirring avoids Jumps. This
recipe yields about six cups Of
soup.
Corn ChOwder
u quarts corn pulp
l q quarts potatoes, diced
3 ounces salt pork, diced
= tablespoon salt
y tespoon pepper
y teaspoon paprika
/ u onions, diced
IN cups boiling water
tablespoons butter
cups rich milk
Brown the cubes of salt pork
over a surface burner in the
pan to be used for the soup.

at $50 degrees for one hour and

time add the butter and scald-

serve at once. This recipe
makes about six servings and is
fine for a luncheon dish.

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOllett-

The word calesthenics puts
women's teeth on edge. They
hate the thought Of going
through routine movements.
Probably because they have

exercise.

4Alo tuOSC significant thlng
about these bags is that they
are decidedly "dressmaker"
In their details. While their
shape may be simple, each bag
has some variation of clasp or
scanning that is entirely new
and diverting. They are in
medium sizes, and thin-not
the sort that you can stuff full
Of things and still have them
look respectable. They are
still in conservative colors,
usually to match your costume,
and most of the bags are of
leather, box calf for street, fine
black antelope or suede for for
NAL afternoon, and a few varia-
tions for contrast. And nearly
all of them have a touch of
prystal, that new crystalline
composition that is so smart
now.
The Molyneaux bag sketched
Is of black antelope, a striking
note in the flower and clasp
on colorless, clear prystal, which
gives it feminine and quaint
yet modern look. 1t is eX-
Quisitely made, of course. with
such tiny details of perfection
as a black satin lining in the
flap so that it will not show
in sharp contrast when the bag
is opened.
Patou sends a bag that is
novel in material as well as in
shape and trimming. It is of
straw, finely woven in a smooth
finish, black as if it were
leather. Its rounded shape is
attractive, as well as the very
unusual clasp and scalloping
of prystal in Patou's new rose
opaline, the color which he
showed in his recent opening in
everything from sportswear to
evening gowns. This bag will
be particularly smart when it
is used with a black straw hat,
in weave somewhat similar.
The third bag is the "bar-
rel" bag, a Paris idea derived
from the London luggage reel.
It is roomy and soft, boon to
the woman who insists on carry
ing practically everything in
her bag. The one sketched is
of beige kid, the strap fastened
with a cube of crystal, colorless
and clear. The handle as well
as the whole bag is wonderfully
soft to the touch, a real Joy
to the lover of fine feathers.
All of these bags are remark
ably low priced for Paris bags,
and copies Of many French
bags are available in Washig-
ton shops at very modest prices.
Tomorrow Miss La Vile will
write about the French hats
that have just arrived in Wash

CORRECT
MANNERS
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman.
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I am thinking Of adding soup
spoons to my sterling silver.
My dishes have cream soup
bowls. The manufacturers of
my silver do not make a cream
soup spoon. What is the cor
rect spoon for me to use with
the cream soup bowls?
A READER.
Are you sure that the manu-
facturers of your silver are not
planning to make the cream
soup spoon? Besides the manu-
facturers that I know are max
ing the cream soup spoon. I
know of several others who are
having such spoons designed
now, and they will manufacture
them soon. If you will send
me the name of your patterns
and make of silver-or even
just the name of the manufac-
turer-I shall be very happy to
let you know whether or not it
will be possible for you to get
this spoon soon.
The cream soup spoon Is such
a perfect and convenient &C.
compartment Of the cream soup
cup that I advise YOU to wait
If you can buy such a spoon
soon. In the meantime you
could use your teaspoons or
your dessert spoons.
The cream soup spoons are
also perfect to use as cereal
spoons. hope that you will be
able to get these spoons in
your pattern soon-I believe
that you will, for I have fol-
lowed very closely the manu-
facture of this interesting and
convenient new spoon.
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Last night I attended a
bridge and shower for an &C
quaintance. The woman who
had won high score at bridge
and won the prize, presented
that prize to the bride-to-be.
Was that the proper thing for
her to do? I think it was not. I
believe that the hostess should
have had a guest prize for the
guest of honor, but as she
didn't, it looked to me as if
the lady who won the prize was
putting the hostess in a bad
light. This lady had already
given our friend a shower gift.
agree with you. The wo-
man who won the prize should
have kept it. And it was not
necessary to have a guest prize
for the guest Of honor.
