Utilizes Midsummer Day
In Planning Refur11iShinQ

Although it may be hard to
concentrate on anything re-
lated to fall during these August
dog days, it remains a fact that
this is the time to do your house
planning.
If you will go over your house
in your minds eye while you are
relaxing on the porch or on the
beach, you will be surprised at
the number of bright ideas you
will get.
And then, when cooler weather
comes you'll be all set.
If you have a room that
you're getting a little tired of,
which happens to boast a fire
place or a well-placed window,
try accenting that feature of the
room. Using wall paper to
frame the window or fireplace
is an idea sponsored by some of
the swank decorators in Phila-
delphia and New York.
Leave the other three walls
plain. either painted or papered,
and use a bold pattern to drama.
tize the one spot in the room
you wish to bring out. You have
no idea what wonders this will
work.
At the recent wallpaper show
in New York, the trend was
toward q definitely EXPRESSED
The Washington times., 1938-08-11

color on a darker ground. An
other bright idea shown there
was the use of a large pattern
on one wall and the same pat
tern in smaller scale on the
other three.
Another good idea is the use of
wood paneling or paper simu-
lating paneling on one wall. The
other three then should be flat
painted.
The pine and walnut papers
look "woodlike" enough to fool
a termite.
Tinted mirrors help lot over
a mantel. They add warmth
and life to a room and they, too,
help accent the one spot you
want to highlight.
So get busy, consider what you
have to work with, and remem-
ber that one highspot will make
the dullest room come alive.

EnVisions
Trdining
In Talking
By Bah LINCOLN

THIS department has just
l. been listening on the
phone to the most beautiful
speaking voice it's been our
good fortune to hear in a
long, long time.
The voice wasn't fancy,
mellow or bell-like. but it
was ineligible, friendly,
kindly, understanding, clear
and pleasing. Anyone with
a contact with the business
world knows that not all per-
sons whose work demands
talking over the telephone
are really properly equipped
to fulfill that office effici-
emily.

They're Heard
She's Wild

MY real reason for leaving is
that I've fallen desperately in
love with a girl three years
older than I am. and if don't
marry her now, she's too attrac-
tive to wait for me. Mother and
dad are pretty sore about this,
because they've heard she's wild.
And while it's true that she does
smoke and drink, and there has
been silly gossip about her, she's
the most fascinating girl I've
ever known. And I want to
marry her.
Won't you say a good word
about the situation? Also won't
you please state the obvious
truth that people who haven't
had college educations get along
as well, or better, than those
who have had them? My old
folks read your column.

at the ideal hostess sends.
First and most important, it
is the mother in the family Cor.
if there is no mother, whoever
is the hoStess) who must send
the invitation to q guest to
spend a week end or a longer
visit in the house Of that family.
That is, we must receive q di-
rect invitation from the hostess.
An indirect invitation from some
member Of the family is not
enough. For instance, q girl
should never go to visit at q
boys home, even if he is her
fiance, without a written in
vitation from his mother, or
whoever is toe hostess in his
home.
Tells Time
OF Visit
The invitation written by the
hostess, which will, Of course,
register hospitality, should also
register definiteness. The invi-
tation, besides naming the date,
tells the approximate hour when
the guest is expected to arrive.
Very often a timetable is en-
closed in the letter, with the
suggested train marked. Informa-
ton is given as to when and
where guests will be met. Or, if
a guest is coming by car, the
best route is explained.
What kind of clothes shall I
take?" This is one of the first
problems that beset us when
we receive an invitation to visit,
especially when it is the first
visit we are making to a par
ticular house. A thoughtful
hostess realizes this, and gives
us, in her invitation, a definite
idea of what we will be expected
to do, and, therefore, what kind
of clothes we will need.
Length of Stay
Designated
1t isn't rude as some peo
pie mistakenly think but the
essence of politeneSs for a hos
tess to tell guest the length of
time for which the guest is in
vited. Thus can both hostess
and guest make plans according
to the time set, and there is no
awkwardneSs or misunderstand-
ing. II hope that you can plan
to come on Tuesday, August
twenty-third, and stay a week.
There is an excellent express
train from here at four O'clock"
When the invitation is for a
weekend (and what a variable
period is a 'week-end!O the
hostess might well write, do, il
possible, plan to come on the
train that leaves the city q
four thirty, and stay with u
until the early Monday morning
train that will make it possible
for you to get to your office by
a few minutes before nine"

Are You
There?

One could go on indefinitely
citing instances of the ills of
careless speech, not the least of
these is talking over the tele-
phone.
While we're on the subject,
have you ever noticed the differ
ence in the powers of expression
of different people? Some per
sons are totally unable to put
into simple words, the things
they are trying to tell you. If
you are able to disentangle the
real meaning from the confused
verbiage you are just super
smart.

Cut one pound of lemons into

then drain. Dissolve one pound

the mixture becomes like jam.
Then add a teaspoonful of

tablespoons Of mustard seed,
and one pound Of raisins. Mix
all together and boil 10 minutes

Difficult
To Decipher

Consider how many persons
with whom you come in contact
during a day are really trained
in speaking properly. What with
colloquialisms, sectional accents,
and peculiarities of speech we
are often put to it to under
stand our own language.
This brings to mind the ques-
ton of correct speech in the
public schools. Would it be be-
yond the realm of possibilities
to envision general training in
correct utterance, giving it as
much importance as writing or
physical department. No one
can deny the relation of good
speech to success, to enjoyment
of life, to all around harmony.
It's true that there would be
certain handicaps to a school
program of this kind running
smoothly. There would be the
influence of the home, If Eng
lish were badly spoken there, but
at least some improvement
would be gained.
