tors, those who can always or almost always,
be counted upon for meritorious achievement
SUCH for example, az Garnet Jex, Clara Saun

Bjorn Egeli, to whose painting, Cameo the
popular prize was voted in the Corcoran Gal

traits here-one of man, very straight
forward excellent piece of work; the other of
a young woman, gracefully rendered but per-

There is abundant variety in theme but a
remarkable sameness in handling. and one Won
ders why. Also there is an obvious lack of
fresh, clear color, and this in day when
color in all walks of life is exceptionally domi-
nant-color in dress and house furnishings, in
building materials, in the paint automo-
biles. Why, then should we have paintings
in dull monotonous. muddy tones? 1t is a
mystery.
THE Federal Government has not confined its
extensive building operations to the Dis
trict Of Columbia-quite to the contrary. In
Hartford, Conn, new post office and Fed
eral Building is at this time approaching COM
pletion. For its limestone facade Evelyn Bea-
trice Longman (drs. Batchelder) has, under
commission from those in charge in this city,
executed most interesting design in sculpture
representing two post riders. the one taking
letter from the hand of the other as he passes.
This design is cut or to be cut. in heavy outline
in the stone all the carving (Which is very
simple) being below the surface Of the facade
yet so executed that the work has the appear
ance Of being in comparatively high relief
This cutting of sculptural reliefs in outline
on the facades Of buildings has of late come
much into vogue. Such was to have been the
historical frieze surrounding the base of the
great war memorial in Kansas City, designed
by H. Van Buren, Magonigle and not yet COM
paeted. This freze was designed by Mr. Ma
gunigie's wife, Edith Magonigle, both sculptor
and painter. On the facade Of the Biological
Laboratory, brick building lately completed at
Harvard, . most interesting frieze of elephants

instances The advantage of this manner of
handling is an effect peculiarly appropriate to
ture at its best
Evelyn B. Longman was, it will be recalled,
the sculptor Of the doors Of the chapel of the
United States Naval Academy at Annapolis,
and of the figure of Electricity which sur
mounts the American Telephone & Telegraph
Building in New York. Among her most recent
works is bust of Thomas A. Edison, commis-
stoned for presentation to the Deutsches MuA
scum, Munich. by three American scientific
societies. In Hartford are her Spanish War
Memorial in Bushnell Park, and the bronze
Industry in front of the new State Trade
School, and in Windsor, Conn. is her monu-
ment to the founders of Windsor on Palisade
Green. Some years ago Mrs. Batchelder de-
signed and executed most charming medal
commemorating the golden wedding anniver-
sary of Mr.. and Mrs Robert w. De Forest,
two in profile-a very lovely medal, excellent
portraits.

IDEAS are aptly combined In the arrange
nent NJ a cOnoepia1 Ghricfy,as table

ideas are aptly combined In the arrange
ment Of q congenial Christmas table
Against the soft white damask cloth,
service plates Of Belleek china show to
advantage. A basket Of fruit, embossed,
in the center Of each plate, with small
baskets forming q border, Is done in
bright natural colors. Modern goblets
are Of quicksilver glass and there are
crystal wine glasses with emerald green
stems.
The center decoration is exceptionally
noteworthy. There Is q large, round
mirror plaque on which the seasonal
poinsettias and holly branches have
been arranged around a tall crystal
candelabra. Twisted candles are emer-
aid green. Quicksilver glass swans, filled
with sweetmeats, are placed around the
centerpiece and there are silver luster
ash trays and cigarette boxes with mir
ror sides.
In an American Colonial dining room
the drop-leaf refectory table Is COW
cred with q plain white linen cloth.
Bright yellow peasant pottery service
plates are bordered in green. Glassware
Is amber. in an old Waterford design.
Making an appropriate centerpiece is
large Christmas wreath exactly like
those hanging at the windows. It is
made OF hemlock, ground pine, and
laurel leaves, instead of the usual holly,
and interspersed through 1t are clusters
Of brilliant bittersweet berries.
A Colonial brass candelabra, with five
orange candles repeating the brilliant
note Of the bittersweet, is effectively
placed in the center of the wreath.
Grouped around the wreath are several
little wooden figures with bright, smil-
ing faces and gayly painted peasant
costumes

BY WILLELLA DE CAMPL

n YEw YORK. - Christmas day,
more than any other day In the
VI year, brings us back to the old
/ fashioned principles Of enter
tanning at home. This Is the
time when family and friends come to-
gether to give and receive cheerful hos
pitality and good wishes.
The Christmas dinner table Is one OF
the most important factors in the
and arrangement of appointments and
details Of decoration must be carefully
studied. A pleasantly imaginative effect
Is conducive to the complete enjoyment
of the meal itself.
Generally accepted rules of etiquette
In table service may be gayly disre-
garded on this occasion, and We may
give free reign to our fancies in COM
binations of linen, glassware. silver and
china. These should be expressive Of
the holiday spirit.
Today's Illustration shows a happy
setting for the Christmas dinner. Red,
green, white and silver are agreeably
combined to make an appropriate color
scheme. The cloth and napkins are Of
pistachio green linen, with very modern
monograms in black and white. Service
plates are, white with deep green bor-
der and the silver is in a simple modern
design
At each place there is a star-shaped
silver ASH tray. Cigarettes are placed
in deep green glass boxes. Goblets and
wine glasses are of ruby rock crystal,
copied from an old colonial pattern. On
an oblong ruby glass tray. in the center
of the table, there are punches Of silver
grapes made Of tinsel glass, like the
Christmas tree ornaments. Light from
silvered candles in green glass candle
labras is caught up and divided into
many reflected points In this unusually
bright centerpiece. The whole table
has a gay sparkle and charm quite in
keeping with the atmosphere of good
cheer
Another Christmas dinner table takes
sapphire blue, snowy white and silver as
its color scheme. There is a plain sap
phire blue linen tablecloth. with napkins
to match, moncgrammed in white. Serv-
ice plates are of white Wedgewood
queensware, with sef-toned border Of
embossed laurel leaves.
Goblets and wine glasses are Of the
finest etched crystal and there are mon
ogrammed crystal cigarette boxes and
ash trays. For a centerpiece there is a
Wedgewood bowl to match the service
plates. This is filled with blue and white
flowers and it is f1anked by q pair Of
three -branched silver candlesticks with
tall white candles The table gives q
sense Of serenity and quiet depth.
There are many who cling to the use
Of the traditional white damask table,
cloth and napkins. No background
really could be more effective as a con-
trast to colorful china. cleaning silver
and sparkling glassware. Old and new

IL low of English architecture, de-
signed by Maurice s. May,
L i Washington architect, and sub
mitted as one in a series Of
home ideas sponsored by a group of
Washington architects for publication
in The Star.
The architect sees the bungalow type
becoming popular because of the elimi-
nation of steps.
On the first floor are complete living
quarters, living room with fireplace,
dining room, kitchen with dinette ad-
joining and two bed rooms and bath.
Il is suggested that the ceiling Of the
living room have hand-adzed wood
bearls, stained brown. and the walls Of
the living room either Of rough plaster
with color added, or a rough insulating
wall board. The fireplace and hearth
style of the exterior. 1t is suggested
that the basement be excavated one
half of the .first-f1oor area.
A stair is run from the first to the
second floor and there Is ample room
upstairs for two bed rooms and bath.
The exterior of the house is of stone
CT random sizes and shapes, with a pro-
jecting bay in the front of half timber
and stucco. Outside the vestibule at
the front door is stone terrace which
Is inclosed with wrought iron railing
The roof Of slate should be random
width and of varIgated colors and
thickness.
The house should be placed on a lot
at least 65 feet wide with the garage
located in the back yard.
The house has 10000 cubic feet and
should be built for $4,000 to $12,5O0.

wholesale index foreshadows better
prices in the market for all kinds of
real estate, but the other types Of prop
erty will follow In the wake of the
small home rather than precede it."
Taking up the angle of effective de-
mand for those small home properties,
the Building and Loan League Commit
tee reports that employment conditions
have improved largely in this lower
income group.
THE N. r. AS effect on employment
has been confined largely to the groups
OF people who work for less than $35
a week. These people have been doub-
ling up and tripling up with their in
laws for the past two or three years
Having their jobs back means first and
foremost to these people, getting into
their own establishment once more
They will want small one-family homes.
Even If they can only rent these homes
at first, the increased occupancy will
improve the value of the homes on the
market. house which is occupied by
a paying tenant is a good investment
today and there are plenty of astute
real estate investors who recognize this
Thus Is foreshadowed the demand
which Is coming in the small home
field
Building and loan associations, how
eve-, wish to encourage home owner
ship rather than renting. 1t begins to
appear that 1884 viii, see more mort
gage money available for the would-be
owner of these srral. homes which fit
the income 1han there has been for
more than two years Existing build
ing and loan associations are being
taken into the Federal Home Loan
Banks at raoid rate. This means
that more home mortgage money will
be distributed through existing chan
nels for the purchase Of these small
homes. Federal savings and loan as
sociations are being organized in many
localities. thus bringing new savers
capita! and millions Of dollars of Gov
ernnent investments into the home
mortgage field. The small home loan
rather than The big property loan is
given preference by all of these new
sources of funds in the home mortgage
market. OF course. capital from these
sources will not be available to real es-
tate operators and 70 spectators. With
financing definitely improving the
maintenance of a good increase in
home prices is assured.

what the mortgage is willing to risk
on the property, perhaps because of de-
clining property values, perhaps depre-
citation, or for other reasons. He de-
mands a 81 500 curtailment. The home
owner, unable to raise the money, faces
foreclosure
Home buyer "B," on the other hand
waits until he is better able to buy a
home, accommodating a greater percent
age Of the total cost as his down pay
ment. He obtains a straight loan, with
regular monthly payments for IS years
or thereabouts, with a definite under
standing that there will be no refinanc-
ing, no renewals and that he will own
the home outright the day he makes
his final payment. He can build a
more substantial home. since this will
be insisted upon by the lending COM
pany because of the length of the amor
tization. He can build home at less
cost. because the builder will take less
profit when he can receive it in lump
sum of cash. And he can rest content
that. provided he makes his regular
monthly payments and meets his taxes,
he can always keep his home.
