The implications of it all seem to be
that Hollywood has not heard any of
the obscene or otherwise condemnable
words which the world has thought up
IN the last two years. At any rate,
not single one of the words which

RAILEY'S CROSSROADS. Va,
September 15.-Arch Mcdonald,
sportscaster, is making his local
debut as thespian this week in the
CROSSROADS Theater production of
"Sun-Up," Lulu Vollmer's drama of
mountain folk and the great war.
Mcdonald has been intrusted with the
role OF deputy sheriff, part that
he allegedly is familiar with through
previous portrayal ip Chattanooga,
Tenn, whence he came. No issue can
be taken with the assertion of the
publicity department. The ball-and-
strike man plays with persisting
assurance. Although his lines are not
the most numerous, his portrayal is
the most convincing.
Florence George contributes an ac-
ceptable rendition OF Widow eagle.

turned the part down as being too
much like the comedy role just COM

Well, it seems that actors and women

Cary has unpacked his bags and agreed

When George died month or so ago,

"Pine walls are not new," de-
clares Susanna Bradford, charm
ing hostess of the Williamsburg
Galleries. So great is the inter-
est throughout the entire coun-
try in the restoration Of Will
liamsburg, early capital Of Vir-
ginia, that many stores over the
country are impelled to install
elaborate exhibitions of furni-
ture inspired by original pieces
seen there and in other nearby
colonial centers. The pieces
shown in these various galleries
contain all of the charm Of fine
old eighteenth century pieces
yet into them have been fash
ioned all the comfort Of pres
ent day standards.
Pine paneling is in great de-
mand today, and the Dixon
Room, one of the most beautiful
in the galleries, displays this
type of wall finishing. Patterned
after the Great Room in the
Market Square Tavern in Will
liamSburg, it is a fine example
of how pine paneling may be
combined with handsome furni-
ture to make q room both cheer
full and dignified.
The soft brown Of the ma
hogany furniture is accented

found in upholstery, draperies,
and rugs" states Miss Bradford.

Hanging just above the sofa are

2. It would, to my way Of
thinking, be out Of order for
you to suggest that the guests
contribute to gifts for your
mother and father. The suggeS.

guests, not with you, even II the

Dear Miss Fairfax:
If I could have burst out cry.
ing, perhaps would have relt
better than going to bed with
so many black thoughts in my
mind. I'm 18 and have just
graduated from high school.
Our class of girls and boys are
still fond of each other and miss
the good times we used to have
at school.
One of the girls gave a party
and invited our particular
bunch. We were all going to
wear our graduation dresses,
and I looked forward to it with
all my heart. My father is the
grouchy kind. He always seems
mad over something and none
of us can do anything to please
him.
Mother said it would be all
right for me to go to the party.
I never thought Of taking this
up with father, but when I
came down stairs he asked me
where was going. When I told
him he said, Take off that dress
and stay home"
I don't intend to stay home
q day longer than I can help.
It's Eyes" to the first man who
asks me to marry him, or else
I intend to run away. AS some
one said: There's no place
like home," and thank heaven
for that! REBELLIOUS.
So many letters like this girls
have come to me that I wonder
why parents are so bereft Of
common sense in dealing with
their children. Girls treated
with so little understanding at
home leave parental roofs,
which seem just like jailS, with
out realizing they may be jump
ing from the frying pan into
the fire.
None Of us, if not completely
senile, has forgotten how we
felt about such things as being
made to stay home from the
party in our early youth. All the
enchantment of the world seems
centered in the house where
the party was to be given. And
we recall how bitterly we re-
sented having to stay home.
Perhaps if this girl puts her
foolish threat into execution
marries the first man who asks
her, or runs away from home
the grouchy father will have
some painful thoughts for com.
pany.

You know, the old
idea was to accentuate
the ridges by pinching
them between the first
and second fingers. We
paid no attention to the
natural wave and near
ly all waves were
started as close as pos
Sible to the part. An.
other fault we will men

that only the top of the
