OF more blue, as the light in the
room is very dull. 1t seems to de-
mand red, but I am also a little
afraid of too much red. What do
you think about it?
Answer:
l think you may use the red, but
don't make the mistake of trying
to match the actual red in the rug
I would suggest a soft material, In
the nature of shantung or similar
fabric, and it may be definitely on
the soft, faded red" side. Hang
samples of several reds at the win
dow and judge it in relation to the
color you get from your rug when
looking into the dining room from
the hall. If You use the soft ma
terlal you could use draw curtains
across the two doors, which might
be drawn back during the day. You
may use middle and deep blues in
accessories with this, which will
point it up nicely.

quick steaks or chops with an out

any information on these gadgets.

cost?

There is most elegant contrap-
ton which may be plugged into an
electric outlet. 1t looks almost Ike

smooth stove top, revolving broll-
ing spit and a warming oven which

McNutt Next Best Bet,

Conscious it is in heavy minor

the idea that, if Roosevelt puts away

ocratic bet. His other elements of
eligibility aside, and they're neither
few nor unimpressive, pivotal In

tation to put him over in due course,

named Harding won out in 1920
after earlier convention favorites

Dewey is still unquestionably the
Republican country wide popular
choice" But while strong with
voters he's weak with the politicians,
even in his own State, among lead
ers like Kenneth Simpson and Jim
Wadsworth. Whether the bosses will
deem it wise at convention time
to stop" the youthful popular
choice only events at Philadelphia
can demonstrate. Taft is waging
the most aggressive and systematic
campaign and making a progress
sively good job of it. His foreign
affairs speech at New York Satur-
day was the clearest-cut statement
any G. o. P. candidate has yet made
on that subject. The Senator de-
mands maintenance of peace as the
paramount American need of the
day. Though Taft supported the
Roosevelt neutrality program he
doubts whether the President means
to maintain neutrality. Contrary
to Vandenberg, who would discard
the Hull trade treaties and substi-
tute a plan of his own, Taft fevors
them with slight modification. The
Ohioan lacks Dewey's glamour ap-
peal and Vandenberg's pomposity.
