This year as far as can see,
the major difficulties have been
overcome. The stores are full
of beautiful styles, varied, in
teresting and suited to many
needs.
FOR afternoon there are the
most beautiful tunics. One
style I liked immensely is in
heavy corded silk, either white
or a stunning rusty red, with
surplice front, long tight sleeves,
and it comes just below the
hips. With a crepe or velvet
skirt. simply devastating. It
was $13.95, and you may con-
slider that high, but a skirt costs
little. most of us have a plain
black or brown one anyway. .
and you have a very smart Co.'S
tune.
There are metal tunics, lace
tunics, blouses of those same
materials, with long sleeves,
cowl necklines, bows, other in
teresting details, and best of all,
they come in attractive colors.

from rather vivid tones through
the various poison" greens

dining, even if our legs did get
tangled UP with those of the
table. And some people, with
even less space, have spent
years eating from card table.
But now better tables are de-
signed, with fewer and sturdier
legs, leaves that are wide, but
set on narrow table, so that
a maximum of space may be
achieved when the table is
open, but minimum of wall
space is needed for the table
when closed.
And I must say a word for
card table designers, too for
they have improved their prod
ucts at least 100 per cent. Card
tables will really stand up now.
You can put at least one elbow
on the new ones without hav-
ing your food come tumbling in
your lap. So that if you must
eat off one, the perils are not
SO Rreat.
Big Cabinets Revived
But cabinets are more impor-
tant, and beds even more so.
The advent, or rather revival of
those lovely old secretary-cabi-
nets Il haven't learned their Of
ficial name yeti is a boon to
everyone with lots of things to
put away, especially in a small
apartment.
They have glass doors above,
three or four drawers below.
and some of them are quite
wide. The better ones are copies
of Sheraton and Chippendale
pieces, though there are many
good designs of all types, mod
ern, classic modern, and so on.
There are various new types
of cabinets, too, and chests of
drawers that do not look "bed-
roomy." And blanket chests,
not necessarily so frankly. cedar
chests, which may fill an odd
corner, and hold a multitude Of
things.
The new studio couches have
a space for bedding, too, which
is an enormous help, They are
such improvements over old
types, in every way. that you
can't appreciate them without
experience with both.
Pillows at Back
They are so much more com.
Portable, so much better look
ing, with the same fabrics on
them that you find on smarteSt
upholstered pieces, and nearly
all make one bed, twin beds or
a double bed. Then the pillows
at your back make them more
like a davenport when not in
use as a bed.
In fact, the whole one-room
furnishing situation is different,
and if you find yourself in a
small space now, you can be
just as comfortable as you could
formerly be in two or more
rooms. The modern spirit has
done that much for us.

Helen in the most enchantingy "frou-frou" frock

GREAT EMOTIONAL
-. OPPORTUNITIES 80

Gallant Lady," the goth Cen
tury Picture starring Ann Hard
ing which opens at the Palace
Theater tomorrow, presents one
OF the most poignantly dramatic
and appealing stories which has
come to the screen this season.
Noted for her understanding
portrayal of feminine character,
in this picture this capable star
has a unique opportunity to exer-
else to the fullest her ability to
rise to emotional heights.
The story deals with a young
woman, mother of an illegitimate
child, who is forced to assign the
child for adoption Immediately
after its birth, agreeing never to
see it again.
As the years pass she becomes
phenomenally successful bust
ness woman, and at the height of
ner lame accidentally meets again
the child whom she had countered
lost to her.
The story brings her to the
point where she is forced to
choose between being reunited
with her child under the penalty
of remaining silent regarding her
true identity. and playing fair
with the man she loves and rum
ming the risk Of wrecking the
boys future.
The play is climaxed in tense
ly dramatic scene which gives
full play to Miss Harding's his
trionic capabilities.

SERVICE CENTER
ON INFORMATION
IS ESTABLISHED
FLORIDA VISITORS TO WASH
INCTON AND OTHERS WILL
BE DIRECTED TO PROPER
DEPARTMENTS
Especial to The Citizen)

| WASHINGTON, D. c., March
3O.-Florida visitors to Washing
ton having official business with
the government will be interested
to know that the United States
Information Service has been in
stituted as a directing center for
all government activities, primar-
| lily to assist Washington visitors
in threading the maze of federal
government agencies and emer-
gency organizations.
Created by the National Emer-
gency Council, the service OPP
crates especially to aid persons
seeking general information or to
contact some particular phase of
governmental activity. With thou
sands of visitors coming con-
stantly to Washington, many of
them for the first time, this
agency acts as a centralized bu-
reau through which the stranger
may find the branch of govern
ment with which his particular
problems are concerned.
The information service has
been located, for public conven-
fence, in Room 500 of the Com
mercial National Bank Building,
14th and G Streets, which is with
in walking distance of practical
ly all government offices. A we'll
trained staff equipped with charts,
indexes and files will be able to
supply names, room and tele-
phone numbers and any other in
formation necessary to assist the
inquirer in locating the branch of
government indicated as apprO-
pirate by the question.
Charts Provided
The charts used by the InfOr-
nation Service present a clear
picture of the organization of
each of the governmental depart
ments and emergency agencies.
They were compiled by the Ma
tional Emergency Council and
authenticated by the head of each
agency. The departments and
emergency bodies are broken
down into bureaus and divisions,
and the relation of each subsec-
ton to the organization as an en-
tity is clearly shown. In the case
of the. larger departments, each
of its bureaus is treated in a
separate chart that reveals all de-
tails of organization. A brief
outline printed on the chart sum-
marizes the functions of the bu-
reaus and their divisions.
ALSO used by the Information
Service are the looge-leaf daily
revised manuals complied by the
National Emergency Council to
make easily available information
concerning the purposes, func-
tions, organization and prOce-
dure of the emergency agencies.
A series of questions and answers
analyses the operation of each
organization in lucid style. Daily
checking by the agencies them
selves and the sending of substi-
tute pages to its holders when
ever revisions are necessary will
keep the manuals currently au-
thoritative.
Facilitates Work
Such equipment, together with
a comprehensive file of govern
mental activities, enables the In
formation Service to relieve the
public of needless waste of time
