BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON

For a bathroom with a definitely
modern look. have you considered a
stainless steel cabinet? Yes, we
know white is the traditional color
for cabinet, since most plumbing
fixtures are white. But the silvery
luster of stainless steel which has
been buffed to a high polish, goes
just as well with white and has the
added advantage CT looking well
with colored fixtures that may be
hard to match in their own pastel
hue
There is new line of stainless
steel cabinets on ths market, con-
structed just like white enameled
ones, made with or without lights
that are part of the cabinet itself
The entire cabinet box is made of
the steel, with the exposed parts
buffed to a sheen that gives the
modern touch.
Two styles are available, one with
a square-top mirror for its door, the
other with a curved-top mirror
Lights attached to the sides of the
cabinet have white cylindrical shades
to cover the bulbs, or are of the long
tubular sort.
The cabinets come in three sizes,
the smallest 1914 by 17A inches, re-
quiring an liz -by-17A wall open
ing; the middle sized 15A by 21k
inches, requiring 1874 -by-19A
opening; the largest measuring Tx

August Active
With Permits
AT S3,853,SO5

Private building in the District
enjoyed its second most active
month of the year during August
ss permits were approved for new
building projects having a total
valuation of $3,853,305. This figure
is considerably under the record
breaking total for July, but was
$3.50 900 above the valuation of
construction reported for August Of
last year.
The August report brought total
building valuation for eight months
of this year to $24,385,835 or more
than 100000 above the figure for
the corresponding period of 1889
Building for all of last year reached
the highest valuation in 10 years.
s1,34S, 500 for Residences.
Residential building was very ac-
tive last month. Permits we're ap-
proved for erection of 256 one
family dwellings in the District,
having a valuation of $1,348,50
In August of last year 224 new
dwellings were approved and these
had a value of s1,33O,000. This
would indicate that the average
home erected here this year is
smaller and less expensive than
last. In July of this year 261 dwell
ings were included among permits
issued. These are valued at ST.
100000
The volume Of apartment con-
Struction last month was nearly
four times as great as in August,
1899. There were 80 apartment
buildings approved for erection in
| August this year and these have
a capacity of 616 family units and a
value of s1,371,0 900.
19 in August Last Year.
In August, 1899, permits were is
sued for 10 apartments. containing
80 dwelling units, and valued at
only s368,000 In July this year,
10l small buildings were included
among the permits. These are cap
able of housing 644 families and
are valued at s1,212O00.
Valuation of permits issued last
month for alterations. additions
and repairs to existing buildings
is 1856, $50. In August, 1889, the

Residential BUILDING
For July Advances
80 Per Cent
New Family Units Built
Or Projected Totol
$10l 200, 200

Residential building in the United
States showed huge improvement
in July, increasing 38 per cent over
June, economists of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board reported
today.
The percentage increase was based
on an analysis of the residential
construction index adjusted for nor
NAL seasonal variations. The index
stood at 532 for July, as compared
with 36.6 in June. The index base
of 100 used is for the year 1926.
Not only did home building squirt
in July as compared with the pre-
viouS month, but July building was
81 per cent better than in July last
year, when the index was 439
Residential building in cities of
10000 and greater population during
the first seven months of the year
totaled 171,974 units, costing s61O-
1862, 100. These figures compared
with 159,884 units built in the first
seven months of last year at a cost
of S476,941 100.
In July new family dwelling units
built or projected by all types of
builders totaled %, ,463 and were
valued at S101 200 200. In June there
were 22,476 units, costing $Sl ,273,20O
and in July, 1899, 23,479 units were
reported at value of S85,610,100.
For some time building figures in
cities in general have shown a for
ward trend in one-family home con-
struction and the bulk of the in
crease has been due to expanding
activity on the part of private build
ers. The boards figures on dwelling
units in cities were based upon its
monthly study of an analysis of
building permits reported to the
Labor Department.

New Liquid Removes Rust

All rust, Nof course, must be re-
moved from metal surfaces before
repainting is undertaken. To aid
in this process, there are prepara-
tions now on the market which re-
move rust from metal surfaces, elm
mating the necessity for arduous
rubbing with steel brushes. The
liquid is applied with cloth or
sponge. allowed to remain a short
time, rubbed little with fine steel
wool and wiped away with a clean
cloth. The paint coating is then
applied. This method is partic-
ularly good when refinishing farm
implements.

funds are arranged for, building

building permit index.
August. like the two other sum-
mer months, June and July, con-
tinued to show a high figure for ap-
plications,. which seems to indicate
definitely that the high rate of
building activity going on this sum-
mer will be. continued well into the
fall months"
The August figures raised the total
of applications received in the first
eight months of this year to 3,753 in
an amount of s19.859,750. This COM
pares with 2,748, totaling $15,304, 400,
in the same 1889 period.

out through the length. At irregu- lar intervals the pattern showed a slight inclination to veer of. The defect was only noticeable when the light Shone across is in cer- tain way. It had been enough of a defect, however, to banish it from the place of fine fabrics and Ann had picked it up for practically nothing at a basement counter. Ignoring the vagaries of the design, she glorted in the richness of the material. Her cheeks grew rosy as she cut and sewed and fitted the lovely thing to her more lovely lines.
 "I'm going to be $4 short on my budget" she thought, "but I don't care. Just this once, I don't care.
 She made @ little slip of ~ayon- it had the sheen of taffeta. She bought gold slippers that had once pinched the toes of more for tunate girl The Italian let her have them for g as he had no call fc: gold slippers with rhinestone heels. She could have cried over them because they were so beauti- full.
 Mrs. Follett's third floor was in an uproar on the night of the party The twins showed Ann the latest dance steps. Clara offered her ar- ray of 10-cent-store bangles. Flora belle came across the hall with a black moire evening wrap. Myrtle stood against the wall in awed si- lence.
 Ann had washed her own hair and set the natural wave. It was soft and luStrous. It hung loosely the curls swung when she moved her head. She had manicured her own nails and painted them with shell pink. When she slid the white and gold dress over her head and let the folds fall around the gold slippers, she had her first taste of real bliss.
 The gown was a masterpiece of artistry. It was plain Clara thought 1t much too plain - 1t had long, lovely body lines. Ann's back and shoulders were flawless, her bare arms would have made a sculptor sigh with delight. Her eyes were dazzling bright, her red mouth tremulous with happi- ness.
 Looking in the mirror, Ann had a moment of wistful doubt. Was 1t to be Cinderella evening or another disappointment?

CHAPTER XVIII

4 policeman sauntered past the bench. He spoke cheerfully to Ann and Paul. They said, Good even- ing sir" When he was gone, Ann remarked in 6 thrilled tone, "Ill have to get c new dress for the party"
 "Can you manage it9" Paul asked.
 T will -- and evening slippers
 How about glass2"
 'Too stif. As child used to wonder how Cinderella was able to hobble around in glass slip pers." She went en-, planning aloud. T have two spoon dol lars--I know where can get slip- pers for $2.50-"
 Spoon dollars?"
 I'm buyink a set of sterling sil. yer spoons. Don't think me silly Paul."
 T don't think you silly at all. Everyone needs an outlet. You'd be surprised at my pet extrava- gance."
 'Tell me"
 He laughed embarrassedly. "Un- derwear shorts and shirts - silk"
 She nodded gravely. T know what you mean. Just knowing that we have a few nice things keeps your souls from rattling around"
 Plight" he laughed.
 They walked home through the velvet dark. Ann declined an of- fer of soda at the drug store. Let's save for the big night" she said. When Paul left her with friendly good night she went happily up the stairs. No money, but delight full few hours had been spent.

She went to the sewing room and instantly forgot Steve. Making an evening gown, an evening gown that would pass muster at the Athens Club party, one that would make Paul proud, was an absorbing task. Ann unfolded the material breathlesSly. It was white, a shim- mering gold thread woven in and
