DUE UP TODAY

Unless the Senate again runs
into unexpected lengthy debate on
some proposition, the leadership
plan is to take up the District sp-
preparations bill today.
Fer the past several days dis
position of the District supply
measure had been expected, but
each day some other matter Of
controversy had interrupted &C.
ton.
AS explained by Senator Joseph
T. Robinson CD, Of Arkansas,
Democratic floor leader, the COM
munications bill, which was made
the unfinished business when the
Senate recessed yesterday, will be
laid aside soon after the Senate
meets today and the District bill
will be called up.
It is expected that the appro-
priations bill can be disposed Of
in a comparatively short time by
the Senate, since no material
changes are expected to be pro-
posed. The bill then will be sent
to conference.

Suede bags for sports will be
colored. What a dash they
will make when worn with
tweeds in similar colors, or to
contrast with plain neutral wool
ems! Used this way, bags will
be big and commodious, trimmed
with wood or composition in
sportslike ways, and entirely diff
ferent from the marcasite-
trimmed bags that are usually
made of suede.
Other feathers which will be
used similarly are shoe and mat
calf, crushed calf, and the new
grains, which include limitations
of fabrics as we'll as leather
CRAVINGS. Even the leather
types are small-grained and
fairly smooth, like the fabrics.
Crocodile leads in the reptile
field, especially in bags en-
Sembled with shoes. The bags
are beautifully made, with small
smart details which lift them
out Of the class of the usual.

PARIS Although berets are
still the rage of the moment,
there is a general tendency to
emphasize their brims and de-
tach them from the crown to
make them look more like a
flat cloche than a classical
beret. The. recent openings of
collections in the realm of mil
linery are characterized by a
noticeable height on the crown
of the new models. This is a
radical change from berets, flat
crowned bretons and sailor hats,
cheese box and plateau shapes,
which we have known preVi-
ouSly.

Genuine ostrich, one OF the
strongest and sturdiest of leath-
ers, returns to favor, too, and
is especially good for large tai

and for town use with tWeedS.
Brown will be about as popu-
lar as black for SportS-like
bags, as most of them will be
worn with tWeeds and Woolens,
and with greens. rust. and tap

The size of the average hand

use.
Sturdiness Appeals
The sturdiness of early Ameri-
can maple and pine appeals to
men too. Corners worn off
through centuries of use stir
the imagination and endear
their family pieces to them.
Men, even more than women,
like the things they are accus-
toned to. If they've always
lived in a home furnished with
fine Eighteenth Century furni-
ture, when they go out to get
an apartment for themselves.
they will probably want some
thing that looks pretty much
the same.
Familiar Periods Used
And so we find that many
Washington bachelors, and
masculine householders, have
gone in for the traditional
periods, either Eighteenth GEN.
fury, or early American. They
have shopped the stores of the
town, or had their various femi-
nine friends or members Of their
families do it for them. Pieces
in the familiar spirit have been
bought, and have been carefully
harmonized as to wood and line.
AS to decorative effects, men
too like hand blocked printed
linen, especially in the rather
strong, primitive colors which
are so good in linen. They ike
colorful screens with sea scenes,
landscapes, or other rather vlvlo
decorative effects. They like
good lamps, and plenty Of them.
They even like "top lights the
horror of every woman.
Useful Things Best
A mans dining room is always
Interesting because he goes IN
Tor only the useful things. His
best" china, silver, decanters
and even glassware will form the
only decoration, and often with
very good effect.

More from Belle about the North Shore. She
describes everything so wildly that she almost
makes me feel as though I had been there myself.
And she certainly makes it sound attractive enough
for me to want to go. Said she came back on the
train with George Garrett-in dark blue with
fine white pin stripe-and the McConihes. George
had been enjoying gay whirl in Newport as his
pleasant smile showed.
Housewares on the North Shore in the
Gloucester area are little sunk this year because
so many of the embassies and legations that used
to establish summer residences there failed to show
up this season. The British, Italians and the Ger
mans used to go up there and, of course, they
needed spacious houses So the "Bostonese" and
New Workers who are property owners would reap
nice little revenue from these summer dwellings:
