Naval Aide to the President,
Capt. Paul Bastedo, gets in his

strolling down the Avenue from
his residence on Whitehaven

was motioning to taxi to wait
for him but to keep headed in
the direction it was then going.
Not so! The driver, apparently
believing in "curb service"
turned a complete circle to
carry his fare to his destination.

a perfect crossing from San

It seems that Charlotte was only
six when the Dieckhoffs left the
States, and is rather anxious to
get back. Her mother described
her as slender and very blond.
She will probably attend Miss

she may swim and ride horseback

The ambassador was counselor
Of the German Embassy in London

she enjoyed the British capital
very much, for it is quite gay.
She intends to take up golf this

Beauty of
Gardens

A wall, whether high or low or
Of brick or shrubs, gives a feeling
of privacy in a garden. If the gar
den is small, a low wall is gener.
ally more effective, but when
space permits, a high wall will
form a background for plants and
flowers.
With the popularity Of outdoor
eating, terrace or paved court
in a garden can be used as a din
ing room. When this is the case,
privacy is essential, and the area
to be so used should be we'll hid
den from the eyes of the public.
Lighting effects are gaining IA
vor in gardens and making it pos
Sible for the beauty Of the flowers
to be enjoyed by night as well as
by day. This lighting should
be done with restraint.

MahoganyB
Liked By
MenfoLk

The woods that men choose for
interior trim on their boats are
the woods the men prefer for
their own rooms on land, advises
the Modern Home Institute.
Pleasure boats are essentially
a male province, and Philippine
mahogany leads all other woods
by a wide margin in pleasure boat
construction and TRIM" the insti-
tute reports.
Reasons for the popularity of
the island hardwood with men
are it's luxurious ribbon grain and
dignified appearance; its tight
knit fibers, which make it almost
impervious to sea water and chem

luSter.

BASEMENT NOW
living ROOM"

Styles in home entertaining
have changed along with styles in
home building equipment. The
sleek smartness Of modern heating
units plus the dustless quality of
their operation have led to a
change in manners.
Today visitors are welcomed
and entertained in the basement
as well as in the living room-the
''parlor" as such having long since
been relegated to limbo.
In creating a basement play
room for adults, the householder
may let his imagination take the
reins. Cane fiber insulation board
as a wall finish is easy and eco
nomical to apply, for it comes
in four-foot widths and in lengths
up to IL feet.

SUMMER BEST
FOR REPAIRS

Summer Is by all odds the best
time for undermining the heating
plant, because the work can be
done at a time when the heating
system is not needed, and house.
hold routine is not disrupted.
Automatic gas, oil and coal
burners have reached a point of
fool-proof development. Each OF
the three types Of automatic heat
have inherent advantages. In the
oil-prot icing regions, oil and gas
burners are recommended, from q
standpoint of fuel cost. Auto.
matte coal stokers are more prac.
ticable elsewhere.
The houSewifely objection that
coal is dirty has been removed by
late developments in automatic
stokers. Cheap stoker coal is
chemically treated to remove
dust.

FAMILIES NEED

Boys, as every mother knows,
will be boys, and consequently
every home needs an isolation

young males to their hearts con-
tent without disturbing the rest
of the family or wreaking havoc
on the expensive furniture in other
rooms.
Building boards of fir fibers has
lately been put on the market in
finishes suitable for interior trim.
Ivory and warm tanS are featured
in this inexpensive material, which
may be utilized by the amateur
carpenter to build boys play.
room or bedroom in unused house
space.
A major factor in the widespread
acceptance Of this material for
playrooms by leading architects is
its Sound-deadening properties.

Comedy Returns
To Moore Theatre


Julian Thompson's laugh riot,
THE Warriors Husband" audi
ence-provolxing comedy staged at
the Moore last month by the local
WPA Federal Theatre Players, is
coming back to the Moore Theatre
for four-day run, beginning May
20, as the final production Of Fed
eral Theatres May Festival Of
plays.
With brilliant cast which In
cludes Truth Darling as Antiope,
Davis Carroll as sapiens, and Clar-
ence Talbot as Hercules. the mod
ern satire on ancient Greek life
was a signal success IN its first
showing here and is expected to
draw large crowds for its re-run.
The play takes for a subject the
land OF the mythical Amazons,
where the women do the warning
and wooing and the men stay at
home to mind the babies. All the
usual orders of home-life and mar
rage are reversed in this bouncing
parody OF modern marriage con-
ditions.
