It was all the strain that Phil l1pa was laboring under, throwing a cloud over those who came Tn contact with her. Through her mnld there went a continuous reel of pictures of Alan and Natalie, to- gether here. there, everywhere.
 She could not console herself with the possibility that the train, Natahe's train. was late. She had called up the Grand Central Sta tion. and learned lt had come in on time
New Britain herald., 1930-06-25

She gave him her hand in part ing, and Alan trembled over it. He let it go quickly.
 He thought, as he walked along with Phillipa, of the way Natalie's expression had changed then. He wished he knev what thought had flashed through her mind.
 Good lord, couldn't she guess that It was impossible for him to hang on to her hand and keep his head? But suppose ne wasn't expected to keep his head? Suppose she really were willing to let bygones be by zones?
 A touch Of panic seized him. Had he spoiled everything? IL was all a mess. but they might find a way out if Natalie didn't give up.
 He only half heard what Phillipa was saying to him.

MANTEL CAN Be
MADE HIGHLICHT
OF LIVING ROOM
Junk Should Be Kept Off
Shelf; Artistic Touch
Is Possible.

Do not let the mantel become an
understudy to the wnat-not. Usually
the fireplace group and the manteI
decoration are the most conspicuous
features of the room and for that
reason should be given a great deal
of thought.
OF course the mantel itself will
determine to large extent the way
it Is decorated. There are mantelS
and mantels- everything from the
lovely arrangements in stone and
wood to the bilious looking little
green tiles and a skinny, unattrac-
lively finished or over ornate shelf.
Usually little change can be made
in the mantel itself and if it is not
desirable one, it must be put up
with and its difficulties overcome as
much as possible by the decoration
used with it.
Tiles that. are just too terrible
may be painted. Artists tube paints
will stick to anything and the
offending tiles may be covered with
this. Other Objectionable features
of the mantel must be counteracted
by the right kind of ornaments.
mot too much" is the answer to
all the questions regarding what and
how many to use on the mantel.
Objects placed on the mantel
should number three, five or seven,
to admit of correct balance and

SEWING CABINET
HAS MANY USES
Countless Steps Are Saved
House Manager.

A sewing cabinet in the living
room will save the house manager
a great many steps.
Into its neat compartments fit
needle, thread, thimble and buttons
to replace those which are always
popping off the youngsters clothes.
At that hurried moment when a
stitch just must be taken, the sew
ing cabinet is the most useful piece
of furniture in the house.
The Priscilla cabinet with its con-
venient handle and graceful lines,
has long been favorite with
women. For the living room it is
seen in walnut or mahogany or oak.
For the bedroom it may be had in
some brightly painted wood, or in
maple.
The Martha Washington. offering
spacious compartments for storing
the family mending until the time
1t can be taken care of, is another
sewing cabinet ranking high in
favor.
A new sewing cabinet is one which
DISCUSSES itself as a table when not
in use for sewing. In the living
room, besides a. chair or at the end
of the sofa it looks just like any
other table.

good taste and decorative qualities.
The summer home furnished as
much unlike the winter home as
possible viii be the most restfuI to
the members of the household. A
cottage completely furnished in
early American or other similar
style, Is a delightful place to spend
occasional week ends during the
winter.
Draperies for the cottage or cabin
made of some rough cotton material
are the most attractive and the
most durable. Navajo rugs, rag
carpets or braided rugs are ade-
quate for the floor coverings. While
there will not be as many or as
elaborate accessories in the summer
homes as in the winter one, these
things should not be omitted, as
their presence adds a great deal to
the gay, vivid appearance desirable
in home arranged for q holiday.

pleasing appearance. They should
be selected with care and If as many
as seven are used. they should be
grouped 50 as not to give a clut-
tered appearance.
The space above the mantel shelf
calls ior treatment. 1t offers an
excellent place for a picture-a por-
trait, marine or a landscape-but
it should be good picture. You
viii see it often and If it is not a
joy to look on, you will grow very
tired Of it.
A mirror Of suitable proportions
may be hung above the mantel.
Sometimes a tapestry finds a place
there. Whatever is used it should
be of quality and character. Occa-
sionally the objects on the mantel
shelf are Of sufficient size and i'm

poTtance to take the place OF over@
manteI decoration.
One especially attractive mantel
has for its decoration two tall brass
candlesticks holding dark red can
dies. These flank q picture framed
in dull gold, Of suitable size and
shape, in which there is some red,
hung on the wall above the rnantel
shelf.
On either end Of the mantel are
lockwood vases Of dull browns, reds
and orange. These vases are not so
high as the candlestieks and behind
them, leaning against the wall. are
pottery plates in. the same colorS.
BY Incorporating the picture
above the mantel into the scheme Of
decoration of the mantel shelf, bal
ance and symmetry are introduced
into what would otherwise be an
unintereSting group.

METAL CHAIRS.
TABLES, SWING,
GOOD IN CABIN
Gay Interior Adds to Joy of
Summer Residence in
Cottage.

Moving a collection of antiques"
from the attic to the cabin consti-
tutes furnishing the summer cot
tage in some families. When the
warm days come, when the moth
balls are shaken out Of the SWIM
ming suits, some one in the family
usually starts talking about fixing
up the summer cottage or cabin.
The way to make every hour at
the cabin or cottage perfect joy
for the whole family is to furnish 1t
correctly. This does not mean ex-
traqagantIy or even abundantly.
Informality is essential IN the
cottage furniture. An interior has to
be almost primitive to make a suit
able background for a costume con-
sisting of bathing suit and cap.
Simple, painted furniture finds
favor with many cottagers. In bright
colors it may be gay and festive.
Those who enjoy roughing it will
want the interior furnished with
hickory or cedar furniture with the
bark left on. It seems more like
really living outdoors.
The cottage may be furnished
throughout with metal furniture.
This has the obvious advantage Of
not being subject to changes in the
weather, which are rather hard on
furniture built for the ordinary well
protected interior.
Metal chairs are now made as
comfortable as any other kind and
metal tables and settees, swings,
lamps and other pieces come in, a
wide choice of colors, designs and
prices.
For the more pretentious summer
home, the early American reproduc-
tons are appropriate and attrac-
tive.
They combine the simplicity nee
eSsarV for rest and relaxation with

UPHOLSTERY FABRICS
ARE SIMPLE IN DESIGN
GIaring Figures Pass Out Of Picture
in Decorations,


One Of the most noticeable things
about the new. upholstery fabrics is
the simplicity of design in most of
them.
In striking contrast to the glar-
ing figures super -imposed upon up
holstery fabrics few seasons ago,
are the structural. simple patterns
which seem to grow out of the ma
terial itself.
The rather simple lines of up
holstered furniture demand good,
bold design but not an ugly or crude
one.
More refinement is seen in the
graceful, pleasing lines of the new
patterns.
A closer harmony between fabric
and design is being worked out and
a great improvement in upholstery
fabrics is the result.

SPEND THIRD OF HOUSE
COST FOR FURNITURE
System Is More Satisfactory Than
Allowing Smaller Sum.

How much money should the
average person spend in furnishing
him home?
The general opinion seems to be
that from one-third and one-half Of
the total cost of the home; is an
adequate amount.
If, for instance, one had $4,000
to spend on his home, and put one
third, or $4,000, into furnishing the
$4,000 house the result would be
more satisfactory than putting one
tenth, or $1,000 into $13,500 house.

VARIETY GALORE
IN FURNISHINGS
FOR APARTMENT
Pleasing Designs, Greater
Number of Patterns Are
Displayed.

Among the new furniture being
displayed at the larger exhibits
there is greater variety than ever
before In furnishings for the small
house and apartment.
Furniture especially suited to the
needs of these is being made in
more pleasing designs, wider variety
Of wood and more patterns.
The limited space and the need
for furniture which may serve more
than one purpose has been taken
into consideration.
Especially interesting pieces to be
seen IN the showings are the dinette
suites. These consist of a. table of
the refectory type, of pleasing shape
in either Of its sizes; a Welsh dress
er or small buffet of good pro-
portions, or a chest of drawers;
serving table and four or six chairs.
Suite Can Be Formed
The table, as many chairs as are
needed and any one or all the other
pieces may be purchased to make
a suite.
One suite had the interesting
feature of an arrangement whereby
the table, which was of the gateleg
type, slid right under the combina-
ton china closet and buffet.
While the popularity of the re-
fectory table seems to be increas-
ing, there still are to be found many
extension tables. The gateleg type,
Of course, holds its own.
Styles Are Varied
These compact suites were seen
In adaptations Of Duncan Phyfe,
Shippendale, Hepplewhite and early
English designs. The woods were
walnut, mahogany, maple and oak,
with perhaps more oak than for
merly has been seen. |
Bedroom furniture for the small
room combined beauty and deIicacy
Of design with commodious drawer
space.
Instead of the heavy dressers,
there were seen many simple, and
beautiful chests Of drawers with
mirrors to hang above them.
Tables Add to Beauty
Space, even in the apartment or
very small house, is seldom so
scarce for the living room as that
Of other rooms, but for the small
living room there are a number of
beautiful tables which are useful
and yet which take up very little
space.
End tables and corner tables in
many styles and woods were dis
played.
Chairs offering all the comfort
and beauty of the largest lounging
chairs are offered, but proportioned
slightly smaller to suit the small
room.

PAINT YOUR RADIATORS
Heating Units Can Match General
Color Scheme of Room.

When you are doing your rooms
over in delicate, lovely colors, why
not try painting the radiators to
match? The government pamphlets
state that paint does not lessen
radiation. And colored raditors do
fade into the general scheme of
the room most beautifully.
Before applying your color, put
on a good light printing coat. Then
any inside paint will do the trick.

Single Blankets Easy to Handle

Single blankets are more easily
handled and therefore more desir-
able than the old-fashioned double
length. 1t is now possible to pur-
chase blankets which are pre-
shrunken and moth-proOfed.

The Western Building Group.

Announcement has been made Of the
tentative selection Of sites for the new
War and Navy Department buildings
In the area west Of Seventeenth street
and north Of B street. This is de-
parture from project recently proposed
to place these structures south Of the
Mall In the area corresponding to that
on the north formed by Pennsylvania
avenue and the central park Of the
Capital. When this latter plan was
suggested, without specifications Of par
ticular plats of ground, there was some
surprise at what appeared to b Q
material alteration Of the general
scheme Of building emplacement. 1t
would now appear that this was merely
an experimental proposition.
In the area which II most recently
suggested a. the site Of these two large
units Of Government construction there
Ii now one major departmental building,
the home Of the Department Of the
Interior. 1t was placed in that section
before the adoption Of the Mall-Avenue
plan. There was no broad scheme Of
grouping for subsequent emplacements.
Apprehension was felt lest subsequently
authorized buildings would be set down
In square-by-square positions without
any broad scheme Of relationship and
without proper setting and approaches.
1t was felt. too. that this would perhaps
cause the concentration Of departmental
structures west q The White HOUSE,

A. At the University Of Miami
students Of marine biology have lab
oratory work under water. Specially
constructed boats with glass bottoms
are used to make trips to the marine
gardens, where the students can see
how the creatures that live In the ocean
exist. On these expeditions the attire
consists of bathing suits and shoes and

land Canal Is 1880 feet long and 80
feet wide. The Sault Ste. Marie lock
Is 1850 feet long and 80 feet wide. In
lock construction greater engineering
problems are related to width than to
length, as the width determines the
