CONTRASTED SOFA

Leather on furniture doesn't sound like news. But this year it is. One glance at some of the new furniture will reveal how really dramatic the combination of leath- CT and wood can be.
 The new idea is to use leather to give color and texture contrast to bring out simple furniture lines.
 One desk, massive and sharply
 boxed in all its lines, has beige Heather inlay in bleached mahogany every surface, including drawer fronts, is paneled in leather, with only a half-inch flush edging of wood.
 Dramatic, too, is a desk in black lacquer finish with a center panel Iof russet leather Very striking is a desk of knotty pine with a saddle Heather top and leather overlap sides land saddle stitching
 Saddle leather and pine in the same combination also are used in 1 a dining room table and in a mans bedroom furniture.
 Most wood-leather combinations use light -colored woods, but tine effects are obtained with dark ma hogany and walnut. One mahogany buffet has write leather panels in the drawer faces, with double rows |of brown stitching. A walnut bed with rolled ends is upholstered in beige leather and brass nail studs. And there are all kinds of small and tables and coffee tables-one modern table nest consists of three inverted U shapes covered in white leather.
 Tn upholstery. leather is also made to do some interesting new tricks such as being used With tough weave fabrics in texture contrasts instead of covering the whole chair Tor sofa. For example, leather runs up the arm fronts and tops, bands .the outside of a chair at top and

HINTS TO
 HOUSEWIVES

Store eggs in a cool, dry. clean place. Wipe off any stains care fully and gently with a damp cloth. Do not wash eggs in water unless they are to be used at once-it will remove the delicate outside film which serves to preserve them.
 To move the smudges from utensils used over an open flame rub with crumbled newspapers, then apply a few drops of kerosene to the paper and rub the kettle until it's clean. Wipe with more dry papers. Do not let any of the kero- sene get inside of the kettle. If the smudge is not too thick, it can be removed with a metal wire pot scraper.

All her life she has lived in the ex- alted atmosphere of royalty, with the blood of two of Europe's most noted royal families in her veins.
 A queen herself, she lived to see two of her daughters become queens too The wife of king, she became the mother and grandmother of kings.
 When she left her home in Eng land, at IT, to marry Prince Ferdi- nand, almost twice her age, it was no choice of hers. She obeyed, even as sheobeyed years later, when in- exorable rules of royalty pushed her aside Her father was Queen Victoria's second son. Alfred, and her mother the Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, only daughter of Russia's Emperor
 The marriage was no choice oi Ferdinand's either, as he loved Hell ena Vasaresco, a comrnoner, but Idoughty old King Carol would not hear of his sons marriage to her Thus were Ferdinand and Marie brought together, by royal wish Marie lived to see young Carol, hel son and Ferdinand's, follow the I wayward romantic paths his kingl, father had preferred.
 Finally she saw her grandchild Michael, deposed when her son de. cided to return to the throne, bring 1 ing to Rumania his Parisian sweet. heart, Mazda Lupescu.
 I Wins Ferdinand's Love
 Marie finally won the love oi Ferdinand, and of Rumania, by making herself attractive to the king and the country. Ferdinands earl, cooiness toward his wife from Eng. land was short-lived when he saw that Marie was most desirable tc others. In this connection, Ruman- ians recall the remark once made by the former Kaiser of Germany to the effect that Marie was "s meddlesome little flirt."
 During the war she served as 6 Red Cross nurse. Though her hus- band had pro- German tendencies she had forced him into the war or the side of the Allies. Her visit tt the United States in 1926 doubtless is recalled by thousands of Ameri- cans.
 Her recent years have been spent in dread of another war. In one oi her latest interviews she said tha, her years of living had taught hel always to have sense of humor to maintain kindly feelings towarc all humanity and to keep up an in terest in people, a love of beauty and toleration.
 The first psngs of ciisappoint- ment with her latter days of obscur- ity have disappeared at last

Simmons Plane Wrecked at Dock By Gust of Wind
Taku Rips Lockheed from Cables, Damaging
 Wings and Tail

The Taku wind yesterday evening partially wrecked an airplane and indirectly caused Gordon Graham, Alaska Air Transport mechanic an icy bath in the waters of the har- Dor.
 The Alaska Air Transport Lock heed was whipped over on wing yesterday evening on the Alaska Air Transport float by heavy gust of wind. doing about $500 damage to the ship.
 When the plane had been run up on the float preparatory to lifting it to the dock, the sudden gust of wind lifting the left wing, swung lit high and crashed the right wings leading edge into pile.
 Cables had been hooked to the ring bolts on top of the ship. With the ship tilted and the cable taut the bolts pulled loose and let the plane swing free. In his frantic efforts to save the airplane from further damage, Cor ldon Graham topped the accident off with fall into the water. The entire Alaska Air Transport crew was working on the Bellanca today, hoping to have the plane back in service again after over
 haul, near the end of the week The Stinson four place plane is now
 handling the business of the con- pany alone
 It is believed that the Lockheeo will be back in the air within few weeks.
