DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have four windows in my draw
ing room that have very deep
window sills-18 inches. to be exact
In two of these 1 have lovely old
Chinese figures on gilt base. 1t
| is not possible to get anything to
combine with these that can afford
as they are full of color. Can you
suggest anything for the other two
windows to add comparable interest?
MRS. D. j. S.
Answer
AT this time OF year you could
use Towering and foliage plants even
to the point OF repeating the same
colors in your Chinese figures. Be-
cause of the gilt base I suggest
gilded tin small window boxes or
chased brass bowls. Fill these with
poisoning plants in colors, with
foliage that is interesting. both in
shape and texture. l think you will
almost be happy without four
Chinese figures
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have two very lovely lamps made
out of huge old handmade wine
bottles. These are blown bottles,
very clear as to glass and lovely in
shape, but now that my room has
been redone I feel that the base
looks two fragile, or too unim-
portant; that it needs to be heavier
Should I paint the bases to achieve
that? I rather hate to spoil their
nice surface quality.

Answer
Why not fill the base with liquid
to which you have added the nee
essary color? You do not mention

advise, but I saw two ordinary
vinegar bottles filled with a solution
of india ink which gave them the
quality of the lovely smoky Swedish
glass. It's just a thought, but you
could always empty it out if you got
tired of it!

DODGERS, N. Y. GIANTS OUT OF.
 1889 FLAG RACE.
Both Clubs Talking of Next Year; Walters, MedWick Star
BY GEORGE KIRsKEY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Aug. 5-(UP)-The first definite sign that a ball team has given up hope of winning the pennant is when the officials start talking about next year. So count the New York Giants out of the 1899 National League race.
 Horace Stoneham and Bill Terry already have started talking about 1940. That puts the Giants in the same class with the Dodgers, who started dealing in 1940 futures a few days earlier.
 Pittsburgh further discouraged the Giants idea of getting back in the pennant scramble yesterday by winning an Thinning game, 3-2. The Giants strategy in walking Pep Young, an eighth place hitter, led to their downfall. After pur- posely passing Young, Cliff Melton couldn't get the ball over for Pitcher Rip Sewell and walked him too, to fill the bases. Then Fern Bells single drove in the win- ming tally.
 Claude Passeau outdueled Lou Fette to give the Cubs a 1-0 victory over the Bees. It was Passeau's 10th victory, and his eighth since joining the Cubs in June. 2 Up But Lose
 The Phillies blew a seven-run lead and the Cards came from be- hind to tie the score in the ninth inning, and finally win, 9-8, in the 18th when Joe Medwick blasted a double with two mates aboard.
 Bucky Walters became the majors first 19-game winners when he allowed but eight hits in pitch- ing the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers in a night game.
 The Tanks spotted the Indians a 3-1 lead and beat them 5-4, with Marius Russo doing @ great job of relief work. He allowed only one hit in four frames after relieving Hildebrand.
 Harland Gifts eighth inning homer supplied the run by which the St. Louis Browns won from the Athletics, Bel. Bill Trotter permitted only seven hits.
 A triple by the veteran Charley Gelbert and . single by Rookie Johnny Bloodworth in the 10th in- ming gave the Washington sena- tors a 6-5 verdict over the Chicago White Sox.
