Since cottage cheese is very

SpringFever
Freshens
Homes
RY WILMA LAVILLE

Housewives are seized with
the desire for doing things to
their houses, their gardens,
even their picket fences this
time of year. Paint brushes
come out Of hiding, cans of
paint from the store, painters
are brought in, or the whole
family gets together for a little
job Of amateur painting.
All Of this Is often necessary
before screens are put in, before
slip-covers are put on, and should
be considered part Of spring
cleaning. You might even want
to go so far as to make major
h ing eS in your house. The
mistress of a small house often
yearns for a large spacious liv-
ing room, and she may have it
by pulling out wall or so, and
putting two rooms together.
One owner Of a small house
availed herself Of the Moderniza-
ton Credit Plan of the Federal
Housing Administration, got an
insured moderniZation loan from
her bank and, by having the wall
between the living and dining
rooms removed, obtained one
large combination room. This re-
suited in an appearance of
spaciousness. Besides, the new
large room was light and airy,
whereas the two small ones had
been inclined to STIFFNESS.
Completely MOdernized
A dado surrounded the three
walls of what had been the din
ing room and this was left intact.
A small figured paper covered
the remaining walls. Wooden
floors were sanded and waxed.
A beam along the ceiling on the
side of the wall in which the
fireplace was located gave the
effect of an alcove. The modern
fireplace had no mantel.
Entrance from the street was
in the living room side Of the
apartment. There were four win
dows at which Venetian blinds
were hung. The house was air.
conditioned and floor plugs were
arranged so that lamps could be
placed conveniently in any part
| OF the room.
Mirrored Walls
One recently modernized din
ing room utilizes mirrors to give
it a feeling of spaciousneSs, as
well as a decorative note.
At either end Of the one large
win dow in the room mirror
panels were inset. Small tables
stood in front Of these, each
holding a vase of flowers. The
general effect was three windows
instead of one. A mirror also
hung over the buffet.
Entrance Lights
The proper illumination of the
outside of a house at night can
take the place Of a watchdog
and a handshake. That state
ment may sound like a riddle
but it is quite true.
Nothing seems quite so vel
coming to the guest searching
for a strange house as the street
number and entrance lighted for
Identification. And providers are
not likely to Turk around the
home when the grounds are
lighted.
Natural Woodwork
In one period of American
decoration, the room that did
not have white woodwork was
not considered smart. Black, oak
and imitation mahogany were
high favoriteS during other
periods.
Natural wood today, however,
provides a fitting background for
modern furniture. A wood which
is in itself beautiful and well
matched for color and grain,
may be given a wax finish, if
so desired.

Yours is indeed a plight which
would require the wisdom of q
Solomon. But let's see if some
thing can't be Salvaged from the
black picture you paint.
Your teacher recognized your
ability. Go to her again. And If
friends who paid your tuition last
year are unable to continue, get
her to use her influence in securing
you a job with someone else.
Might Help
I've heard from social workers
that the demand for mothers
helpers is never filled. And while
that sort Of employment never
pays well, it might help as Solu-
ton to your problem.
Borrow the money from your
teacher and advertise for a job as
q nursery governeSs. Or try to get
work in Shop-that seems to be
the smart thing to do these days.
Many shops will take nothing but
college girls. Go to all the en-
ployment agencies in your town,
and see if there isn't something
your good educational equipment
will enable you to get.
Churches are often helpful. See
what they have to offer in the
way Of social service. feel con-
fldent that a girl Of your char.
acter and education will win.
Better be frank with the young
man and tell him that the bad
times have made conditions very
crowded in your home and that
it's not convenient for you to have
guests at present. Meantime, as
spring is here, you two can take
walks together.

Artists of Other Instruments
Haze Taught Pianist Much

tunity to talk shop said Miss Nash,
"and that Is what miss In my coun-
try. In Europe it is SO easy to talk
about music, for every one is eager to
discuss it. Sometimes people here
politely bring up the subject when they
know am interested in it, but it is
not the same thing"
As child Of 10 Miss Nash's pre-
cocity at the piano in her home town
of Omaha brought her into contact
with one of those violinists who helped
her in her musical education. With
him she played all the violin literature,
analyzing and working out every de-
tail with minute care. A few years
of study in Europe preceded her con-
cert career, her success bringing her
back again and again to the same
countries.
And she has thought deeply about
her art. She feels that two much
intimacy, the kind that comes with
the daily social round, Is detrimental
to that constant union with music
which an artist must keep intact, And
again, that never can one finish with
the study of technique, for always there
IS something new to learn. In spite
Of her social duties, Miss Nash de-
votes several hours each day to unin-
terrupted practice, beginning her day
with the playing of Bach.
Miss Nash has often been asked to
specialize in the works of one COM
poser, but refuses to confine herself
to the limitations Of one mans talent.
She is equally at home in classic or
modern music, although she Identifies
the modern output as "clever" rather
than profound. Her playing of the
MacDowell concerto in which Wash
ington heard her last season with the
National Symphony has been one of
the American works which she always
includes in her European programs.
She has no favorites among the
great composers, for each has his in
teresting angle for an artist. Chopin,
she feels. is composer of personal
appeal. When one pianist speaks Of
another" she said, "he will always
criticize his playing of Chopin and
that is because each has his own con-
ception of Chopin and can never be
satisfied with that of another"
Brahms, too, is inexhaustible in the
beauty which he offers an artist, and
her special delight is the constant new
discoveries to be found in his work.

vucing as Sydney Carton, brilliant

free life until he met certain lady.
Every move he makes Is in the right
direction and every word he speaks
has the right tone and infection. Mr..
Colman does an excellent chore, OF
which Mr.. Dickens himself no doubt
would be proud.
Elizabeth Allan is charming and re-
freshing as the apple of Mr.. Cartons
eye and does a bit Of acting well in
keeping with Mr.. Colman's. She. too,
makes no false motions and under
plays rather than overplays her emo
tional scenes, with fine sense for
the right move at the right time.

TINE secret Of the fine sensitive
ness In the playing Of Frances
Nash, brilliant pianist who
L will be the soloist with the
National Symphony Orchestra on SUM-
day, was revealed when she volun-
teered the statement that she had
learned more from artists of other
instruments than from those Of her
own branch of music. She has stud
led with violinists and, at one time.
with an oboist, who broadened her
concept of music so that the delicate
subtleties Of the more expansive in
struments found their way into her
pianistic interpretations.
This unprecedented avowal was
made in the charming salon Of her
home in the Kennedy-Warren over
which she presides as Mrs. Edwin NJ
Watson. wife of Col. Watson, military
aide of President Roosevelt.
AS expertly as she combines the
two divergent interests of artist and
socialite, one knows instinctively the
artist is ever uppermost. Music is
everywhere, the mound on the piano
crowned by a treasured Christmas
present of the Schnabel edition of
the Beethoven sonatas.
interviewing Miss Nash (for it was
the artist we came to see) is a
charming experience. In her artistic
studio, with countless valuable bibelots
scattered about, one finds two su-
perb faun-colored Angora cats grace
fully challenging attention.
The pianistic art of Frances Nash
has been acclaimed in Paris, Berlin,
London, Rome, Milan, South America
as well as through her native land
in this country alone she has played
repeatedly with all the famous Or
chestras, the New York Philharmonic
the Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Boston
Chicago, San Francisco. st. Louis
Kansas City, Milwaukee and the Ma
tional Symphony.
OF her European experiences she
tells of the remarkable enthusiasm
of her reception in Italy, that land OF
singers, and Of her pleasure at being
able to play in several countries in
the course of a week. During the
period when her husband was as
signed to the embassy in Belgium, she
continued her concertizing begun aft
er her European studies were finished
and did as much as any other artist
to attract attention to American
talent.

the M-G-M people have adapted 1t

Every mood and emotion OF Dickens
classic story Of chap who gives his
all on the guillotine that the woman
he loves may have the man she loves,
Is developed as it should have been
and given its proper place in the
whole. The rich Dickens humor, the
vivid roar of the French revolution,
the suspense of Dickens eXpertly
limned story, the JOY, the grief, the
despair and all the human emotions
interviewer in the tale have been
placed upon the screen with fidelity
that makes the film practically an
epic.
The players fit into their roles like
round pegs in round holes and square
pegs in square holes and carry
through their characterizations so
naturally that each and every one of
the characters becomes a living
being there in shades of gray and
white on a silver screen. Under Mr..
Conway's guidance they bring the
moving story so vividly to life that
you'll have tears in your eyes along
toward the end when that little seam
stress faces the guillotine. You will
be caught up by the spirit of the story
and by the spirit of this film treat
in fact, and will go through the revolu-
ton and the trying times it brought
alongside those people on the screen
and will live every instant of Mr..
Dickens drama.
It's an experience you should not
forego for long, both because Dickens
is good for you in himself and because
it's good for you to see what really can
be done when a motion picture studio
sets out to do a job right. This photo
play will make you forget at least
three-quarters of the poor films you

few of the things you have said about
