WYE are all born with the
w scalp structure necessary
to grow hair and to keep it
growing. That structure con.
tinues to produce a normal
growth of hair until (1) some
local infection attacks it; or
(2) neglect and improper care
chokes and stunts the growing
hair.
Even when the hair dis.
appears from your scalp, your
hair-growing structure is still
alive and ready to function.
To make your hair continue to
grow normally you must first
remove local scalp infections
and then stimulate and nour.
ish the tiny glands which sre
asleep in your scalp.
Thomas treatment accom-.
plishes these ends quickly and
surely. DandruH A;sarnears.

THE SUNDAY STAR WASHINGTON D. C. TO- 1s8s-PART ONE

preaching conference of the Asso-
ciated Country Women OF the World,
we spied in q cabinet at its opposite
end an extraordinarily beautiful flower
bowl and plate of Orrefors glass signed
by Simon Gate, which Mrs. Carr had,
Enthusiastically, not referred to in any
way. This type of the glass blowers
art is acknowledged by collectors the
world over as being the most perfect
of all the Scandinavian ceramics.
Etched upon the side Of the plate is
this inscription: Presented to Mrs.
Wilbur Carr by the American Gusta-
vas Association at the time OF the
unveiling Of the copy Of Houdon bust

United States in Sweden"
One might carry away the memory
Of any one OF the treasures of the
Carr household as a symbol OF its
apartness from others and Its oneness
with the ideals OF homes the world
over. A little Etruscan god Of the
horne, dating back TO the buried city
of Populoni in the third century B. c..
sent as wedding present TO the Cars
with letter telling Of its genuineness,
still has the place OF honor on the
mantel shelf over an upstairs sitting
room. 1t epitomized for us a quality
Of the Carr home which makes IL
significant of real homes wherever
they may be. Long ago the open

to have the furnishings of our home
selected for us by others" One feels
that there not only aren't any mis-
takes, but not even any regrets, for
each piece represents an adventure in
selection for its present particular
niche and sphere Of beauty and use
fulness, with due regard to its suita-
bility to everything else. Each Is usable
and workable. even to a very ancient
fireplace bellows in the dining room,
for the Cars feel that shaky, decrepit
antique has no place In home that is
used as every nook of theirs. There
isn't much guessing about the back
ground of the Carr treasures either,
for they have all been verified in SO
far as possible and recorded in little
black volume by Mrs. Carr herself.
The Carr drawing room and dining
room, which are the scene of so much
delightful hospitality, are among the
most perfectly proportioned large
rooms in Washington. The architec-
tural detail OF each is rare, yet you are
conscious only of harmonious whole.
In the dining room, the motif in the
carving Of the woodwork is carried out
in the carving on the mantel which
took three years for its execution.
A rare Chinese rug whose exquisite
gray blue tones make you think of the
colors of the Chinese wall throws into
fine contrast many fine specimens Of
the cabinetmaker's art. The beauti.
fully grained surface OF q beryl walnut
table of early English origin entices
you with its rich patina. You stand
reverently before fine old carved
credence which once belonged to An
toinette Charter, wife of Alexander
Michon, Seigneur de Belize. Emily, the
granddaughter of this distinguished
house. was the original of Jacqueline
Marguerite, heroine Of De Ia Marines
"Jocelyn." Holding their own with
dignity upon the credence are two
charmingly decorated tin tea boxes
from Amber, Pa, antedating the Bos-
ton Tea Party. They look for all the
world like Colonial knife boxes.
Jan van den Bosch Rug.
The drawing room rug made by Jan
van den Bosch of Holland is such a
perfect example of skilled workman
ship that its rich reds, yellows and
blues seem to have been painted upon
it, rather than to be the slow process
of loom. They blend in q marvel
lous way with brocaded curtains in
a ruby pomegranate pattern which
came from Madrid. In front Of the
hearth Is a fire-bench that once did

over 1,700 shades of wool being used
to carry out the scheme of its design.
Two Italian chairs in their original
rich, -colored brocade coverings
make you think of the noble Italian
villa which they once adorned. Twin
Savonarola chairs. originally In the
possession of the American born
Duchess di ARGOS, invite the eye with
their beauty and symmetry as they
recall the stirring times Of an earlier
era of another nations history. From
the Caledonian market in London Mrs
Carr herself rescued 200-year- old
treasures. OF Louis Quinze design,
they are of exquisite workmanship,
yet with all their grace meet the
Carr specifications for sturdiness. The
London dealer who reupholstered them
subsequently ran down two more, so
that now there are four chairs TO-
keep each other company in this New
World home.
From a drawing room exit you step
out upon portico. where replica
of the faun from the House Of the
Faun beckons you to steps that de-
scend into a comparatively small gar
den space, so treated that although
1t overlooks a city street it appears
charmingly remote from the world
without. As we walked about with
Mrs. Carr a fountain bubbled capti-
vatingly from the center of pool
where fish darted forward upon our
approach.
From the garden itself you are In
creasingly aware Of the beauty Of the
facade of the Carr home, which is
replica set to scale Of the BREATH
takingly lovely facade Of the Villa
Medici In Rome.
AS We re-entered the drawing room
to resume our interrupted committee
session having to do with the sp-

service before the altar of a Floren-
tine chapel.
A pair of graceful, seven-branched
sconces or wall candelabra balance
each side Of the drawing room mantel.
Once they occupied similar posi-
ton of honor at Mount Vernon. But,
when such treasures as could not be
authenticated by documentary proof
that they had been in the mansion
during the life of our First Presi-
dent, were disposed Of, they immedi-
ately found a home in their present
location. OF undoubted French
origin. 1t is not unlikely that they
were an unrecorded gift of remem-
brance from distinguished visitor.
One feels happy for them they have
found their present haven of appre-
citation.
Over the mantel, appropriately for
the home of a State Department off,
cial, a Flemish tapestry shows two
warriors trying to conclude terms Of
peace with the background of a vii
lage and their companions In arms.
Two fine companion tapestry panels
also hang on either side Of the en-
trance to the drawing room. The
one to the left represents Aneas, son
of Aeschalus; the one to the right,
Dido of Carthage. They are part Of
an original set of eight tapestries Of
the early seventeenth century by
Wanters Pays Bac after q design by
Giovanni Francesca Romanelli Their
soft colorings humanize many o
weary hour of high school Latin.
An Italian bronze kylex, a very fine
replica of the original which is in the
Lanti Palace in Rome, made familiar
to many of us because of its repro
duction in marble in the French
sculpture room in the Louvre, stands
Chinese vase of the time of the
Emperor Lung. 1t Is worthy of being
a museum piece.
Chairs Are Interesting.
Seldom in any home do you find
such interesting chairs as belong to
the Cars. Chairs always have in
trigued Mrs. Carr.
Along with our interest in chairs"
she tells you, has always been the
! determination that those in our home
should not be the type that terrify
You lest they fail to support you or
that ominouSly creak as you endeavor
to adjust yourself in them"
Not only are the Carr chairs sturdy
and dependable, but each also has a
history. A Belgian tapestry-covered

According to an old custom, this little
god with pursed lips blowing to keep
the fires of loving kindness constantly
aglow was an inmate Of every home,
that the spirit of hospitality and
brotherly love might prevail about the
hearth. He is today symbol of the
open hearth of the Wilbur Cars. whose
home fires are so constantly aglow for
friends from within our midst and
for those who come bearing greetings
from afar. Thus you see how very
appropriate it is for Mrs. Carr to be
chairman Of the Committee on Diplo-
matte Relations for the conference.
Associated with Mrs. Carr on this
committee are Mrs. Harlan Fiske
Stone, Mrs. M. L. Wilson, Mrs. Cary

because its attention kept wandering
to the historical background of Ger
tain furnishings, that finally a recess
was called with the request that Mrs.
Carr tell a bit of their background.
The very doors which give you ac-
cess to the Carr home, with their
heavy, nd-wrought iron pulls. are
rare specimens of an ancient Italian
craftsman's hand carving.
Rooms Have Own Identity.
All the rooms have their separate
identity and atmosphere, yet each Is
part of a harmonious whole. In
the room to the left Of the entrance
hall you have your. introduction, as
1t were, to that happy mingling of
old world treasures and mementoes

make this home so distinctive. Here
is a collection of mangling boards
which belonged to priest in Oslo,
Norway, long ago, attested to by the
folk museum here. A very fine bust
of George Washington has the place
of honor among signed portraits of
former Presidents of the United States

dominating characteristic of this
room.
On the right before you enter the
drawing room and connecting with it
Is the library. Over Its fireplace
hangs an unusual joint portrait of

Uncle Jesse Wells of New York State,

"HE mother of the consular
service" so dubbed when she
was bride, because her dis
l. tinguished husband. Wilbur j.
Carr, Assistant Secretary of State, is
beloved the world round in that branch
of our Government, is herself a doer
of good deeds. Known for her nat
uralness, simplicity and general in
terest in her fellow-beingS among
State Department attaches, wherever
our flag flies, 1t is but natural that
she should be the chairman of the
Diplomatic Relations Committee of
the Third Triennial Conference of
Associated Country Women of the
World, which is to meet in Washing
ton from May 81 to June 6. Women
delegates will be present from Al ma
tions, as we'll as representatives from
every State in our Union.
Organized farm women groups all
over the world emphasize the fact that,
In any station of life, the home is the
center from which radiates all that
Is best in family and in national life.
The Carr home at 1900 Wyoming ave-
nue. is not one of the largest or the
most elaborate in Washington, but
1t is one of the most charming, re-
fecting as it does the exquisite taste
Of its chatelaine and of that interest
which she shares with her husband in
our world neighbors. Mrs. Carr, world
traveller that she is, with far-fiung
acquaintance list that literally circles
the globe, frankly says, II love our
home and like looking after 1t and
having it require my individual taste
and direction"
Rare Treasures in Home.
Here choice specimens of early
Americana mingle with priceless Eu-
ropean treasures, old long before ad-
venturous explorers had stepped upon
our own shores. Yet, there Is no sense
of that museum feeling which pervades
many homes where there have been
far-flung mental horizon and frequent
visits to foreign lands. With a rare
sense of color harmony and constraint
each bit of furnishing blends with
the other to form that indescribable
something which for want of better
term we call home atmosphere. Gra-
cious serenity and the harmony of
well-ordered lives spent in service to
others somehow pervades 1t all and
adds q welcome to the guest within
its midst.
