What shall use for my living room draperies, Nancy? The sales person told me that nothing but damasks or taffetas were correct. Is she right? Couldn't I use chintz If wanted to do so?"
 Bless your soul, child. you can use any material you want, pro- viding it fits in with your furni- ture coverings, the carpet, the wall paper and your pocketbook.
 Chintz may be used in any room but the formal drawing room. Hand blocked linens may be used in the ordinary living room If there is not too much pattern in the carpet or wall paper.
 When 1t comes to curtaining the service end of the house you may want to buy your material from the dress goods department.
 Dimities, English prints, organ dies, seersuckers, piques may be the very material you want.
 Don't hesitate to get 1t just be- cause the clerk wants to sell you marQuisette or dotted Swiss"

What can you give Mrs Bost- wick for Christmas this year. that charming neighbor who stands ready to help you whenever any thing goes wrong?
 If she is in the habit of enter taining why not give her some- thing decorative that would de- light her guests? The new hand painted tole trays answer this problem handsomely.
 One of these Is gift de luxe, done in luxurious green and gold flower design, with touch of black and pink for contrast. They come all sizes but while you are buying, the size for six cups and saucers or eight glasses Is an ex- cellent choice.

Should Hoover Quote Poetry?

I do not know whether high Government officials
ought to take course in poetry, but am sure they
ought to study prose style. few weeks ago Fnlllp
snowden Chancellor of the Exchequer, had the bitter
4ob of facing fairly hostile House of Commons with
his proposals; he had to tell them that an English
sailor earning $3.50 day would henceforth pay income
tax and at the same time pay more for tobacco and
beer. Out of the mass of disagreeable figures ne
suddenly rose poetry not his own, but Swlnburnes
and-it seemed little exaggerated at the tme-cred
out, "Come the world against her, England yet shall
stand"
Our own Cabinet ministers and Congressman aren't
used to this sort of thing President Roosevelt praised
Edwin Arlington Robinson, but the poetic tastes OF
Taft Harding Coolidge and Hoover are not widely
known Wilson, we remember, liked limericks In
nv time in Washington heard Senator Overman
quote the Psalm of Life Excelsior, although am
sure he liked them both; and it generally was assumed
that Henry Cabot Lodge (who had written book to
prove that Achilles not hero) was the only lit

Prose Is Not Enough

Perhaps it. is as well. Yet moments arse IN the
lives of nations when something exalted than an

the courage of President Hoover in going before the
American Legion and telling the soldiers that he would
not approve of additional payments the bonus; he
risked defeat by Congress in it's next session. rsked
reelection But 1 cannot get enthusiastic the
advertised circumstance that the bonus not directly
mentioned. An upstate New York paper says the
speech was refreshing-was 'real soldier talk. Real
soldier talk, recall it. particularly frank about
the payroll.
The President was at his best when he suggested
that it undignified for him to plead with any

But what can be made of his reference to the Great
War; the beginning of the legion the beginning of the

other time, if the whole thing not horrible

the President when you and served in our appointed
tasks At the end of those of heart sickness

knew that the wounds of the world unheaed and
that there would be further emergencies still before our
country and the world when self and courageous

Heaven knows it's true but the truth has to be lifted
to the plane of emotion before it can be efectve it has
to be said if it had been said BEFORE and if
no one but the speaker could say it in just that way
because he felt it. For Gods sake let sit upon the

Government TRENDS

Conference Luncheon, Held
at Buffalo.

by the AS8Ociabeo RIebbs
BUFFALO, N. Y, November IL
David Lawrence OF Washington, D. C.,
traced some modern trends Of govern
ment at luncheon meeting of the Ma
tional Conference on Government here
yesterday.
Among these trends he listed a de-
Tnand for economy, Springing from a
desire to reduce the burden of taxation !;
q trend toward a greater desire to pro-
mote the general welfare, and a tend
ency toward what he termed "involun-
tary cooperation"
The last trend, he asserted, was the
greatest, because it indicated a realiza-
ton that the duty of the Government
is toward all the people and not any
particular class. Organization Of the
National Credit Corporation, Mr.. Law
renee said, Is an example of this Gin
voluntary cooperation" in that 1t was
not accomplished until the President
exercised his moral power in such a
way that those involved could not refuse
20 cooperate because of popular opinion.
Discussing the trend toward economy
in government, Mr.. Lawrence said: I'VE
must watch that under the guise of
economy we do not tear down some of
the things we have built up in govern
ment."
Meeting separately yesterday after
noon, the governmental research aSso-
cation discussed Technical Problems in
Personal Administrations and Prog
reSs in Measurement of Governmental
Services" The latter subject was con-
sidered in a closed session.
In joint session, the American Legis-
1ators' Association, National Associa-
ton Of Civic Secretaries and National

5-MilliOn Art Donor
Is Buried With Few
MOurners at Rites
Youthful Gellatly Widow
Will Press Efforts to Re-
cover Rich Collection.

John Gellatly, who two years ago
gave the Nation SIS, 900 900 in art treas
ures, received the homage of less than
a dozen mourners yesterday at funeral
services in the tiny chapel at Congress
SIGNAL Cemetery. He was IS years old.
On one side of the aisle sat Charlyne
Whitley Gellatly, his youthful widow,
with three friends. On the other were
scattering of curators and officials of
galleries here-men whose bond with
Gellatly had been common love Of art.
Two bouquets of chrysanthemums
made scanty decoration for the unpre-
tentious gray casket. There was no
suggestion of the splendor of the Gel
latly collection described at the time
of the gift as 100 works of American
art, some choice European paintings and
large collections Of glass, jewels, tapes
tries, Oriental specimens and other val
liable material-all provided with beau
tiful cases"
Mrs. Gellatly said despite differences
with her husband, she respected his
wish that he be buried in her lot at
the Congressional Cemetery. She ex-
planned her plot was there because her
grandfather, Richard Nash Whitley,
was a Senator.
Just a year after her marriage in
September, 1880. she sued her aged
husband for rent money, claiming
Straitened finances resulted from his
desire to give beyond his means.
II gave up my career as an actress
for him because I thought I'd have
enough to take care of me always" she
said. I'm going to try to get a bill
put through Congress to have them give
back the collection. If I can't do that,
shall take my case to the courts"
