AnSWer-Your room probably needs
warm color and the personal touches
that change it from what might be a
room in hotel to the impression Of
home. I would suggest that you add
curtains and a few slip-covers Of a
very gay-fowered chintz on a brown
tsh ground-if could find one; or one
that is slightly less gay on a sand-col-
ored ground. The pattern should not
be too small. Or use one Of the cot
ton prints made in India. They are
for sale almost everywhere. There is
one made as bedspread, with the
tree of life design on an unbleached
cotton background, which Is full of
color. Cut each spread in half length
wise and the border will trim the
front. top and bottom edges OF the
curtains, and make valances for Slip
covers. ! would also suggest that you
add the most attractive lamp shades
you can get. Very light parchment
ground color, with colored prints in
set, or you can get plain ones at any
art materials counter and paste on
cut-out pictures that you fancy in
magazines Cif no printing Is on the

white shellac. Add effective sofa cush-
ions, each of plain taffeta In becom-

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERr PLUMMER.

They used to have a saying down in
Yazoo County that John Sharp Williams
was priced more than the post office. the
court house-or the Mississippi River.
ALI over the State he was man marked
for special affection.
He wanted only to be let alone. 1t
was seldom that he broke his silence.
When he left the Senate he said that he
would make no public speeches, but
usually he was the first man on the in
vitation list when Mississippians started
something, whether it was political
rally or a public improvement project.
He retained much of his old wit and
satire to the last. His reply once to an
admirers praise Of him as one of the
foremost characters in American public
life for the past so years was:

THOUGHT HE.
this man was not then shooting, he was
planning to later. So, of course, he
didn't want to be seen there.
He was what is called a poacher.
poacher is one who steals furred and
feathered folk from the land of an
other. He probably would say that he
wasn't stealing, because the little furred
and feathered folk were wild and, there
fore, were free to any one who could
kill them, but in his heart he would
know that this was not so.
The hunting season would open very
soon. Until then the law protected
Thunderer the Grouse and all the mem
bers of his family, but when this pro-
lection was withdrawn the only safety
the Grouse would have would be on
land where no shooting was permitted.
Thunderer and Mrs. Grouse had lived
through many hunting seasons and they
knew that on the land Of Farmer Brown
no shooting was allowed if he could
help it. They knew also that now and
then a poacher did hunt on that land
when he could sneak on without being
seen.
This stranger was one OF these poach-
ers. For several weeks he had been
spending lot Of time roaming about
the country, looking for locations where

DELIGHTFUL COMEDY PRESENTED
LAST NIGHT BY DESERT PLAYERS

FL Centre Desert Players made
their second appearance before the
81 Centre audiences last night in
the delightful comedy, Meet the
Wife" which will be given its last
performance tonight in the Wilson
school auditorium.
The play itself is sparkling
comedy depending on its clever
lines, rather than on action. for its
effects. Revolving around the pre-
dicament Of the wife in question
who finds herself confronted with
two husbands instead of the legiti-
mate one the play presents anus
ing situations which reach a salts
factory denouement. A second plot,
interwoven with the wife's difficult
ties. is concerned with the daugh-
ter's romance, her mother advanc-
ing the claims of an eligible Suitor
against the young man Of the
daughters choice.
James Persinger made his first
appearance with the Desert Play
ers last night and gave the out
standing performance, playing the
part Of the effeminate artist who
is the mothers choice for her
daughter. At times he showed a
tendency to everyday the part but
on the whole his work was excellent
and supplied most Of the comedy
for the pay. Persinger has had
considerable experience in drama
tic work and this experience was
reflected in the ease with which he
played his part
Barbara Hammond. as the young
daughter, although somewhat mis-
cast in the ingenue role, brought
to her performance an intelligent
understanding of the character por-
trayed and played it eXcellently,
making a charming and appealing
appearance quite in contrast TO her
previous role as Maggie, the maid,

/ IN her presentation OF Rachel
Crothers' latest play. As Husbands
! Co.'. Miss Beatrice Edmonds Of San
! Diego gave the members of the
j Ten Thousand club one of the most
enjoyable programs of The year.
The play itself one OF the sue
+ ceSses Of the current Broadway
/ season is q brilliant comedy, which
at times borders close to tragedy
In il Miss Crother has portrayed
with subtle skill q group of con-
trasting characters and her pene-
trating analysis of character is seen
at its best IN this play.
Beginning with a prologue LAID
I in Paris. the plot is concerned with
the romances Of two matrons from
Dubuque. Iowa. one a widow and
the other the wife of a devoted
and adoring American businessman.
While on a vacation trip to Paris,
and under the spell CT its faScin-
ation. the two women fall in love
not only with Europe but with two
charming continental gentlemen as
well. The comedy lies in the
changed aspect of these romances
as the glamour of Paris fades in
the reality of Dubuque. Iowa and
as the romances are scrutinized
from the matter-of-fact Dubuque
viewpoint.
Rachel Crother's comedy is
facile but never of the obvious
SCrt. In several instances the
play reaches the delicate bor-
derline between comedy and
tragedy and there are moments
of poignant emotion which are
lightly but surely delineated.
In her review .3iss Zdmonds. by
means of facial expression and
voice alone, made real and indiVid-
ual the six highly contrasting char
acters OF the play. Each person.
ality was skilfully suggested in this
manner and her portrayal of the
three male roles Is especially de-
serving Of mention.
She avoided the throaty voice
used frequently by readers in por-
traying their male characters, and
by rare skill made the three men
as alive and vivid to her audience
as the three women characters.
Well Handled
In the drunken scene between
the English lover and the husband,
Miss Edmonds is particularly to be
as it could easily
have been made ludricrous but in
stead, under her subtle handling,
was presented as the author in
tended 1t to be, with all the sub
tlety of character and analysis con-
tanned in the lines.
The dramatic climax of the
play was particularly fine also
as Miss Edmonds again avoided
the common error of readers,
that of emphasis. Her re-
straint and poise, the lovely
quality of her voice, her per-
sonal charm, her sympathetic
reading of the lines and pOr-
trayal of tine characters made
her review delightful.

in this play will be interested IL I
