"Al Quiet on Western Front"
Enters Second Week at RialtO.

Enters Second Week at RialtO.
WITH all its wealth of scenic eff
feet, its stirring plot and in
sight into the reality of war, "All
Quiet on the Western Front" enters
upon a second week at the Rialto,
following the verdict of Washington
theatergoerS that it is one of the
great pictures that the talking films
have produced.
Erich Maria Remarque's story
turned into action and sound after
the book had created its great i'm
preston. is now known to the read
ing and motion-picture world as
few such tales have been known, and
Washington has given its unuuali-
fed approval of the present superb
product. Lewis Ayres and the other
fine players in the cast make strong
ly realistic the battles on the Western
front during the World War.
Real achievements in represent
ing the battles that settled the fate
of nations stand to the credit of the
producers, and the emotional quail
ties of this work of fiction based on
historic facts are impaired to all
who view the picture.
There are nearly three thousand rail
road crossings at grade in the small
State Of New Jersey.

HouSework Is Made Lighter
by Close Attention to
Floor Coverings.

The home maker who is getting
her house ready for the summer,
will do well to consider her floor
coverings.
Summer is the time when every
one wants homework reduced as
much as possible and a great deal
of house work is spent on rugs and
floors.
Small rugs easily taken out and
shaken are boon to the house
keeper and make the rooms in which
they are used look more summer
ish" than the all-over carpets.
Linoleum is a floor covering
whose care is easy. In most rooms
in the house it is appropriate to
have this material Or the floor.
1t is no longer necessary to have
simple, geometric pattern in limo
leum, if a floral or other design is
preferred.
A great variety of patterns and
an unlimited number of color COM
binations are seen in this floor COW
ering.
The tile designs are especially
appropriate for hall and dining
room; there are figured patterns for
the living room or bedroom, and
quaint styles for the children's
rooms.
For the bathroom and kitchen a
simple pattern in colorS harmonic
ing with the decoration schemes of
these rooms is the best choice.

SPINET HAS CHARMS
Some Styles Plain, Others
Highly Carved.

The evolution seen in many pieces
of furniture is exemplif1ed in the
Spinet desk.
The spinet was seen in many
Colonial homes.
With its tinkly, sweet-toned
music many a Colonial lass enter
tanned her swain.
Under cover of her playing they
probably conducted their conversa-
ton in a corner of the living room
which was shared by all the family
and anything but private.
When the delicate strings would
no longer give out melody and when
the keys were worn and Soiled they
we're removed, and what was left
made an excellent desk for the then
highly important business of writ
ing a letter.
In this capacity the charming
piece has come to the present gen.
Grafton. There are extremely plain
styles and there are styles highly
and beautifully carved.

Different IDEA
GIVEN BEDROOM
Commonplace Furniture Is
Easy to Avoid.

The difficult problem Of making
rooms in which it is necessary to
use suites Of BEDROOMS
and dining rooms-look different"
may be solved by selecting distinc-
tive patterns in the suites.
Commonplace designs should be
avoided.
Occasional pieces may be added
in the bedroom to create a feeling
of individuality in the room fur
nished with the inevitable bed
dresser dressing-table suite.
For those who like to read in
bed, there might be a bookcase Of
favorite books.
The livableness of the room may
be increased by placing in it a
particularly comfortable boudoir
chair.
Good reproductions of attractive
designs always give a room dis
tinction. For the dining room there
are q number of reproductions.
Duncan Phyfe, Jacobean, Early
American, sure to give it quite a
different" appearance.

TABLES, CHAIRS
EMPLOYED FOR
dual PURPOSE
Cabinets, Lowboys, High
boys and Other Pieces
Can Be Transformed.

Furniture to serve more than one
purpose is becoming increasingly
popular and many useful and at
tractive pieces of double purpose
furniture were displayed at the
winter furniture exhibits and or
dealers floors this spring and sum-
mer.
Tables to be used for more than
one thing are the most numerous
of the furniture pieces of this kind
A tea table, the top of which may
be lifted of and used as a tray is
one of these.
Another table has legs which col
lapse at the touch of button and
the top is thus tray for use in the
dining room, living room or sick
room.
Just Punch Button
An end table, with spring hid
den in a drawer, becomes an ideal
tea or small dining table when the
drawer is opened and the spring
released.
Another table opens to reveal the
contents of a sewing cabinet. In
some end tables the little drawer
pulls out to show an ash tray and
match container.
Another table has radio built in
it. 1t looks like any other table but
on opening small door just below
the table top there are seen the
dials, and lifting the top reveals the
works"
Cabinets, on first sight thought to
be just ornamental pieces of furni-
ture, have neat compartments and
little doors which make possible the
storing Of valuable papers.
Tables Become Screens
There is a highchair which be-
comes a small rocking chair, at the
turn of knob. A button concealed
in the arm of an overstufTed chair
will release an ottoman, and let the
back down to a comfortable angle.
Card tables which fold up and be-
come decorative fire screens add yet
another item to the long list of
double-uSe furniture.
OF course there are countless
pieces of furniture which may be
used for more than one thing, with
out making any change in them.
The lowboy may be used as a
console table; the highboy may be
used in dining room, living room or
bedroom: the gate-leg table may
be console table, a dining room
table, an end table or a library
table.

RADIO CABINET
CHOICE is WIDE
Many Uses Are Served by
New Furniture.

Now that the radio has become
a standard piece OF furniture for
the home, the homemaker is giving
more thought and care to the choice
of cabinet.
Back in the days of the crystal
set and head phone. beauty was
not considered possible in radio.
Today. although radios were I'M
dreamed of in the days of Thomas
Chippendale, you are able to choose
just such a radio cabinet as the
old master might have designed.
If most of your furniture is wall
nut, you naturally will choose a
walnut radio cabinet, but if you
have oak or any other wood,
chances are that just the cabinet
you need to match the other pieces
in your home is available.
The radio is an ideal mass about
which to group furniture, and it
takes a natural place in almost any
setting.
Today, in addition to serving as
radio cabinet, it may have many
uses. Some radio cabinets are built
to serve also as desks. Others are
inclosed in tables. Small sets 60
atop radio tables, and some are
built to be placed on one shelf of
a bookcase.

Good Judgment Will Exc
Out Limited Purse in
Purchases.

1t is possible to furnish a new
home or refurnish an old one on a
very limited budget if you go about
it in the right way.
Careful planning as to the essen
tial things which must be bought
first will be a great help in furnish
ing new house. The pieces of
furniture which are going to be used
all the time should be of the best
quality.
Nothing is so expensive as cheap
furniture. If you buy the best, it
always will be something you can
be proud to own and use, and in
stead of continually having to re-
place essentials, you can add to your
furnishings when your income per-
mits.
In refurniShing a home or adding
to furniture already in use, there al
ways is plenty of time for reflection
as to just what is wanted AID for
searching until the thing desired is
found.
Many home furnishers think it
much better to go rather slowly in
furnishing home so that the mis-
takes of a hasty purchase may be
avoided. Even when money is not a
consideration it often is wise to buy
a few pieces at a time.

MOULDING IS LIKED
Appropriate Touch Added to
Early Designs.

For the house where furniture
after the early English designs pre-
dominates, chests of drawers, cabi-
nets and square desks, outlined
with mouldings, are appropriate.
Oak is used for the heavier, more
massive pieces, finished in a dull,
antiqued polish. For the lighter,
more refined designs, walnut is the
correct wood.
Gate-leg tables, refectory tables
and table desks also are in keeping
with the early English styles. They
may be combined with lighter
weight pieces.
Upholstered pieces to use with
this style are those of massive,
heavy lines.
Upholstery was not used at the
time these styles were originated,
but upholstered chairs are more
comfortable than the wooden ones
of those times, and the two may
be combined if attention is given
to line and relative weight.

EXTREMES Can
Be AVOIDED in
REFURNISH|NG
Fascinating Patterns Are
Available That Match
Perfectly.

The great temptation In re-
furnishing these days is to go to
extremes.
Modernistic deyotees there are
who are all for the plain solid eff
fects. Something like the gay COS,
only more so.
Plain woods of stiff lines, solid
colorS Tor draperies-all as solemn
as the Victorian living rooms,
though possibly less dignifed.
But If you're among those who
want to escape the one-color bro
cades and pompous solid velours,
there are fascinating brilliant pat
terms to choose from. And also a
hazard of running TO extremes.
House Makes One Dizzy
One charming woman who gloated
over the disposal of hon dignif1ed
old living room as though it were
some oppressive inhibition, amazed
al beholders by the lengths to
which she went in redecorating.
Having set her mind firmly
against all solid color fabrics, she
@lnd it impossible to resist each
lovely new pattern that came be-
fore her eyes.
The result is a houseful of pat
terms that positively make one dizzy.
Each piece is beautiful in itself. No
doubt about that.
But the grand total of flowers
and strips and cubistic lines and
angles is rather appalling.
Patterns are Beautiful
The new patterns are beautiful.
The cllintzeS and cretonnes are
jolly and colorful, and some of them
are fine and expensive enough for
a most elegant living room.
Others are appropriate for period
rooms and there are charming
and-blocked linens and quaint
calicoes that are attractive enough
to begin with-and build a room
around the draperies.
Nevertheless, if more than one
kind of drapery is to be chosen
either for curtains, covers or cush-
ions, it's essential to have some de-
finite color scheme in mind.
1t may be quite possible to have
two kinds of patterns in the same
room, either for chair upholstery, or
slip covers, or for curtains, and yet
have them harmonic.
What one has to watch out for
in choosing is color-to avoid
clashes.
If exact tints are repeated in the
several pieces, then the difference
in pattern and contrasting color
harnonies may be very pleasant
rather than confusing.

WIDE CHOICE GIVEN
IN CRETONNE Grapes
Lighter Materials Are Popular for
Windows in Summer.

In place of the heavy materials
used at the windows in winter it is
refreshing to have some of the
lighter weight ones for spring and
summer use.
Cretonne probably holds first place
among the moderate price drapery
materials, because of the great
choice of colorS and patterns offered
in it.
1t is very serviceable and attrac-
time for the summer dress of the
windows.
RayonS are offered in sunfast
colors and the quaint, sprightiy pat
terms of the chintzes look springlike
at the windows.
Denim makes a good drapery and
for the bedroom there are voiles and
thin silks.

FURNITURE is SMALLER
Size Changed to Sui Little House or
Apartment.

The popularity of the small house
and the apartment has created a
demand for furniture scaled to their
rooms.
Because of this demand it is pos
sible now to buy furniture, even in
oak, which easily can be accom-
modated in the room of small di-
mansions.
The increasing favor enjoyed by
oak is probably due to the fact that
furniture of this wood is now made
small enough to get through the
doors of an ordinary house.
The essential beauty of the early
English, Tudor and Jacobean pat
terms is adapted to oak furniture for
the small house.

DAVENPORT BED HELP
SOLVE GUEST PUZZLE

Plays indispensable Role When Not
in Uset for Sleeping.
The predicament which arises in
the home where there is no guest
room is solved easiest by daven-
port bed.
There are many times when an
extra bed would be exceedingly con-
venient, but frequently it is not pos
sible to have an extra room.
The davenport bed in the living
room is the solution to the problem.
Most of the time it serves as an
indispensable piece Of living room
furniture, enjoyed by all the family.
1t is attractive in appearance and
when not made up as bed in no
way suggests place designed for
sleeping.

DRAPES ARE C0L0RFUL
Graceful Figures Take Place of
More Startling Combinations.

Every year the statement is made
that never before have drapery
materials been so colorful and SO
beautiful and every year it is true.
Designers of drapery material
seem to get better inspirations each
year and this year, as every year
before, the patterns are more pleas
ing and the color5 more attractive
and more varied.
The rather unusual designs OF a
few seasons ago are giving place to
more graceful figures and less
startling combinations of color.

PLAIN MATERIAL BEST
FOR GLASS CURTAIN
Net, Swiss and Marqu.sette Can Be
Used AdvantageousIy.

The glass curtain is best if made
of some plain material of neutral
tone, harmonizing with the dra-
perieS.
If the view beyond the window is
attractive, the glass curtain might
be thin enough to see through.
If it is desirable to shut out an
unpleasant view, heavy glass cur
tain will do it and yet admit enough
light.
Net, swiss, and ntarquisette are
among the materials out of which
satisfactory glass curtains may be
made.
Theatrical gauze is an inexpen-
sive and practical material used
widely for glass curtains.

Coating Protects Painted Surface OF
Furniture and Woodwork.
Painted surfaces of walls and
furniture and woodwork may be
kept in condition by covering with
a coat of starch. Make the starch
as for laundry, being sure it is per-
fectly smooth. Stipple it on with
sponge.
1t dries clear and transparent and
makes a protective covering for the
surface. When cleaning time comes
it may easily be washed off with
cold water, all the dirt coming of
with it.
Another coating of starch IS then
put on the clean surface and it is
ready for another season of wear.

Domestic oriental rugs, both in

in popularity because of their rich
colors and unusual designs.
They are made by the same pro-
cess as the real orientals and will
wear just as well.
For the bedroom which has taken
on its summer attire. a hooked or
braided rug is appropriate.
Gay colors to give the room a
light and cool appearance are seen
in these rugs, and any color scheme
may be carried out.
These rugs are especially well

having it edged with some edging,
fringe or other trimming made of

PEASANT FURNITURE IS
GREATLY IN DEMAND
Foreign Pieces Blend Well With
American Colonial Idea.

American Colonial Idea.
The Colonial revival in furniture
has brought forth some foreign
companions.
These allen cousins fit into a
Colonial setting quite perfectly,
which is, perhaps after all, natural
enough-the period of their origin
was about the same as our own
Colonial.
A surprising interest is shown by
buyers in provincial or peasant fur
niture.
Its simple architecture, its lack of
formality and its general nominees
make it at ease and at home with
early American furnishings.
Walnut, oak, and maple are used
in its manufacture and such up
holstering as it needs is done in
chintz, percale, or quilted cottons.
