Why the Strike Front is Hot

Wages have been hit by "level
ling-off" process, cutting down the
higher rates, perhaps here and there
raising the lower ones.
In the mess, purchasing power has
MT budged much.
Ten million still look for jobs
where there are no jobs.
Not SO good.
=
But better than a year ago. A year
ago nobody had the courage to strike
no hope of getting anything out
of a strike.

Unfortunately, this very

for his chauffeur missed the

them, they sent post cards to

the vases on the mantels and
other treasures scattered about.
Chippendale Furniture
The dining room which is a
spacious high ceilinged chamber
Is almost chaSte in its beauty
with a Chippendale table and
chairs of the most exquisite
workmanship as are the buffet
and side tables. A built-in
cabinet at one end holds a rare
collection of Colonial china.
Magnificent blue damask
draperies are to adorn the
window Of this room and tl4ey
are to be looped back with gold
brackets. The Kitchen and
pantries are replete in every de-
tail, with many features added
by Mrs. Russell, who among her
other remarkable attributes is
a marvellous housekeeper.
A perfectly charming little re-
ception room at the right of
the entrance hall is painted the
exact shade Of green which is
in the background of the
Chinese panels which adorn it's
walls. Here the furnishings re-
fleet the Orient and the dra.
peries are to be in colors which
will conform.
A wide stairway leads to the
second floor where the various
suites again show the dainty
and exotic taste of Mrs. Russell

months past Of the house and

days and days in the Metro

Count de Chambrun
To Wed Shortly

Word comes from Europe
that the next few days will
bring tidings of the mar
riage there Of Princess Luz
Glen Murat to Count Charles
de Chambrun.
The wedding will unite
members of two European
families we'll known to
Americans. Count de Cham
brun who was born in Wash
ington is an honorary citizen
of this country. The citizen
ship is his as a great-grand-
son of the Marquis de La
fayette, all of whose descend
ants share the same privilege.
The Princess Murat is a
widow. Her former hus-
band, Prince Lucien, a
great-grandson of the King
of Naples, who earlier had
served as Napoleon's calvary
general, died last December
in Rabat, Morocco, whence
he had fled from Russia,
his mothers native land, at
the time Of the revolution.
Before becoming the wife
of Prince Murat, the pro-
spective bride was Princess
de Rohan Chabot. A daugh-
ter of the late Duke and
Duchess de Rohan, she was
born at Josselyn in the Brit
tany twelfth century feudal
castle of the Rohans.
Count Charles de Cham
brun is a brother of General
de Chambrun who married
Clara Longworth, sister of
the late Nicholas Longworth,
of Ohio. His older brother,
the Marquis de Chambrun,
married Miss Margaret Rives
Nichols, of Cincinnati.
The de Chambruns will
make their home in Rome.
The Count, after serving as
envoy to Turkey, is now the
French Ambassador to Italy.
People are still talking
about the very gorgeous
house party Mrs. Sam Con-
ner of Kentucky gave at
the Woodmont Club at Han
cock, Md, last weekend,
which was attended by a
group of political and social
lights, and at which Post

"An American" can be used in
"the Commandments House" as
q permanent fixture, so ma
hogany is taboo.
Two old brass candle sticks
with crystal globes and rarely
beautiful glass dish on a deli
cate base adorn this table.
The dish by the way holds
much sentiment for Mrs. Rus
sell for when she was a child
it held the dessert she most
loved for Sunday night sup
per, floating island.
The lighting fixture in the
hall consists of a great crystal
globe beautifully etched and
suspended in a gilt frame from
the ceiling with three electrified
candles on the inside. This
hallway which runs through the
house from East to West opens
on the two drawing rooms
which adjoin the porch which
has a moss green tiled floor and
the most lovely white willow
furniture with silver green
cushions. Little white occa-
stonal tables, a few oriental
cabinets with pieces of pottery
In green and peacock blue
shades are to be found here,
and in the center, in a little
niche, is a series Of white cir
cular shelves filled with foliage
plants which add to the green
and white effect. venetian
blinds of white with a green
cast hang over the glass panels.
Things From the Orient
The drawing rooms which are
to have draperies of golden vel
low satin contain many very
beautiful things; period furni-
ture built for comfort as well
as style, cabinets and tables
on which ornaments and

be given the new chatelaine for the

plishing its transformation.
The house, which has stood since the
British invasion, has new coat of gray
brown paint on the outside, white trim
and green blinds. On entering one is
simply enchanted with the beauty of its
interior. Cleaning hardwood floors of a
