Beauty Of
Hollywood
Described
BY HARRISON CARROLL

HOLLYWOOD, June 29.-All
artists who come out here make
some comment about Hollywood
beauties, and Willy Pogany is no
exception.
Less bold than some, the
painter sculptor architect men,
tions no names. He is content
with picking the ideal Hollywood
type.
Miss Cinema, of 1881, says
Pogany, follows this description:
She is bleached blonde.
She has blue eyes.
She is feet 3 inches tall, with
out heels.
She weighs 112 pounds (prob-
ably without meals).
The artist arrives at these sta
tiStics from q study of the so
girls selected for Eddie Cantor'S
"Palmy Days." Mr.. Pogany. Incl
dentally. made the sketches for
the sets of this production. The
larger task of selecting the ideal
Hollywood beauty, he did in his
spare time. 1t all falls under
the head of art, anyway.
If we can believe the dis
tinguished expert. this years
model beauty is leaning toward
the proportions of Venus De Milo.
She has a wider waist, less
noticeable hips. straighter back,
and broader shoulders than the
girls Mr.. Pogany observed when
he was in Hollywood four years
ago for Samuel Goldwyn.
Athletics, he suggests, may be
responsible. But that's another
story.

days story. And one that is, l
think. a perfect example of
what I'm getting at. J..
About a month or so ago a
wealthy president of a manufac-
turing concern out West came to
New York for a short visit. He
WaS-and still is-a happy mar
ried man with two children. He
engaged suite at a midtown
hotel and commenced to trans
act some necessary business. For
the sake of his future happi-
ness we will call him merely
Mr.. j.
AWise Guy
Mr.. J. was a wise guy. There
could be no mistake about that
fact, because he admitted it
himself.
Mr.. j. likes his liquor. Al
ways has, as a. matter of fact.
And it wasn't long before he be-
gan to inquire about for a quiet
little establishment off the
beaten track where he might
hold a cocktail in one hand and
write figures on the tablecloth
with the other. Perfectly harm
less, of course.
An acquaintance recommend
ed one to him. A nice little
place in the upper forties. Piano.
Curtains. Shaded lights. A
very striking blonde was the
manageress and there we're al
ways two or three other ladies
present. The liquor was good
and Mr. j. enjoyed his visit. So
he went again and again--but
always with another man. Mr..
j. was too wise.
Cocktails, Business
About a week ago, of an after
noon, Mr.. j. decided to visit his
pleasant little rendezvous. AS
usual, friend came along. They
sat there for an hour or two,
had two or three cocktails each
and discussed business. Sud-
denly the friend remembered an
important telephone call. In
formed that there was no phone
in that house, he was advised
to walk to the corner drug store.
Which he did.
While waiting for his friend
tc return. Mr.. j. decided to pay
his bill. He called for his check.
The blond lady walked over.
Your BILL" she said, Sweetly,
"is $4,000"
, Mr.. J. literally fell from his
chair. He smiled wanly and
begged her to stop joking. But
her next words were far from
funny.
Listen" she said, "we know
all about you. We know you're
married. We know the town
you live in out West. We know
your social connections. You
owe us $4,000. Are you going to
pay?"
Still Smart
Mr.. J. by this time was de-
cidedly uncomfortable. But he
still had a plan in mind. He
was, you see, a wise guy.
"Of course, I'll pay" he ex-
claimed. But I'm sort Of short
of cash. Would you :"
The blonde smiled sweetly.
That's perfectly all right"
she said.
Her smile faded. Bending
down, she put her face close to
his.
Listen, sap" she continued.
Maybe you think you're put
ting something over on some
one by telling me you haven't
any cash. Well, I'll tell you
something. We expect you to
pay this bill. Well take your
check. And if you try to stop
payment tomorrow, these girls

you.

complaint that will make front

Oak Returns

The Washington times., 1931-07-23

Many of us will attend the
August furniture sales and buy
new furniture to do over a
room or so, or to fill in odd
pieces where we need them. 1t
Is well to review the present
trends in home furnishings be-
fore we plan to buy, and to de-
eide exactly what we want, so
that we will make no mistakes.
Furniture is something we have
to live with, often for many
years, so it is essential to have
something with enduring charm
and that will always be in good
taste.
Plans Essential
It is absolutely necessary to
plan your whole room before
you buy a single piece of furni-
ture, even if you can't buy your
furniture all at once. Then add
the pieces as you can afford
them, and be sure to. add the
pieces that you had planned to
harmonic with the rest. Re-
member a few simple rules, also,
such as these: Floors must be
darkest, walls next in tone, with
your ceilings lightest. Your
furniture, in coloring, should
fit in between your floors and
walls, not too dark and not too
light. The trend in living-rooms
at the present day is toward
upholstered ensembles of three
or four pieces, but not pieces
that match. It is all right to
have one chair match your
davenport in fabric, but the
rest must be different. The
old three-piece suite has gone
from the better homes. All the
pieces harmonic, but they sim
ply must not match, or not
more than two of them.

spearean look.
Classic Georgian
OF course. the eighteenth cen
tury furniture will never be
surpassed for good taste and
beauty of line. The Georgian
makers came in here, Sheritan,
Heppelwhite, Chippendale and
the Adam brothers. Their fur
niture was made of mahogany,
and it's lines we're based on the
true art of the Greeks. There
fore, their furniture will always
be beautiful and in good taste.
Equally popular in Washing
ton is furniture of Colonial and
Early American origin. Our
own early craftsmen, such as
Duncan Phyfe, made it OF
cherry or mahogany, and it
will always be popular in this
country. The lines are simple
and beautiful, and perfectly
harmonious in American homes.
Seen Occasionally
French provincial and Bieder-
meier are seen in many of the
homes, but not to the extent Of
the types already mentioned.

First, there are the very hardy ones,
like peas, cabbage, onions, lettuce,
spinach and radishes, that can be
planted three or four weeks or even
longer before danger of frost Is over.
Potatoes can also be included in this
list because it takes them some time
to come up, but after they do ap-
pear above ground they will not
stand much freezing.
The second group includes those
that will stand considerable cold but

the question of planting distances and
the depth to plant.
Soil Covering Varies
It is a safe rule. that the heavier

shallower the seed should be covered.
In general. garden seeds should be
covered only deep enough to insure
enough moisture to get them started.
Deeper covering only retards them
and delays their start.
