Queen Anne Furniture
Designed for Comfort
BY WILLIAM X. CLARKE

PROBABLY THE least regal
of England'S rulers was Anne,
daughter of William and Mary
and last of the Stuarts to occupy
the throne. Queen by virtue of
there being no male heir, Anne
was more suited by temperament
TO rule a cottage than a country.
She was honey. comfortable
body, Queen Anne. Her relaxa-
ton from cares of state took the
form of such womanly occupa-
tons as sewing and embroider-
ing, surrounded by her court
ladies who, whether they liked
ii or not, must need follow suit
and sew and embroider too.

Short Girl Must Avoid
Fur-Trimmed PepIums
BY DONNA GRACE

fitted lines or embroidered in
gay trimming are high-style in
formal dresses and should be
adopted by every woman whose
arms are not well-Shaped. Fat
arms, and bony ones too, should
be covered whenever fashion
permits.
Robust girls will not be
swayed by rich failles, taffetas
in full Victorian styles. They are
for the slender type. We all
know how they intrigue us in
the stores but are seldom flat
tering and usually hang in the
closet while the slim lines are
worn night after night.

Relish trays

VARIETY IS the thing 10 be
considered in relish trays. Color
contrasts are especially good.
Ripe olives, slim sweet pickles
and spiced cauliflower with
dash or two of pimiento are a
pleasant combination to begin
with. Placed on an attractive
tray, they'll embroider your
menu effectively.

Left Impression

This personality of the queen
was impressed upon the furni-
ture styles of her era, as is the
case with all periods bearing a
rulers name.
Furniture was designed more
and more for comfort. For the
first time chairs and settees
were curved to support the back
easily and comfortably. Cushions
were added. and such up
holstered pieces as wing chairs
appeared for the first time.
Embroidery being the court
pastime, furniture coverings
were largely of this type. Linen,
woven in the nearby country
side, was stitched with wool
yarns in many colors, usually In
a floral pattern. This type of
embroidery is called crewel, and
is characteristic of the Queen
Anne period.

EGG PLANT STUFFING

halves with a mixture of sau-
sage meat and bread crumbs.
For a f1avorful dinner or lunch
con dish add grated parmesan
or nippy cheese to the filling.

Golden Age

Queen Anne's reign began in
1902. 1t marks the introduction
to the eighteenth century, the
golden age of furniture design.
Graceful and with an eye to
comfort, it is a period entirely
suited to homes of today. Best

Characteristics

In Queen Anne and all sue
ceeding periods, the chair be-
comes the one piece of furni-
ture most characteristic of that
style. Cabinets and tables may
overlap in styling. having fea-
lures Of two or even three Pc
riods. But chairs are the most
truly typical of any one style.
The splat-back chair Figure
b is seen for the first time in
Queen Anne furniture. Love
seats, or settees as they were
then known, appear for the
first time, being two joined
chair backs with one seat
cushion. The Gabrielle leg, plain
or with a shell carved on the
knee, appears on virtually every
piece of furniture

FUR TRIMMED suits arc
smart and many of the colored
woods are exquisitely adorned
with sables, stone martin, milk,
silver fox and seal.
They are luxurious for the girl
who can 60 about in her air

vestment for one who must
travel by bus and subway. Even
she may have such lovely things
though, provided she can also
own a good heavy coat for
warmth.
Suits are never warm enough
for zero weather and fancy fur
trimmed styles can't be worn
under a coat, so if you can't
have both. a coat will be the
most satisfactory.
Clever MuHs
Don't think of wearing fur
trimmed peplums or any fur on
the bottom of garments if you
are short and stout. They are
for the thin type only and look
better on tall girls.
Some Of the smart muffs you
see are homemade. College girls
and debs have them for every
costume. Brilliant woods are in
evidence in the cheer sections at
all games.
Little hats or wrap-around
headgear should match the muff.
The whole muff foundation,
lined and with Upper bag at
tachment. all ready for covering
can be found in stores. Those
who are handy with the needle
will find inexpensive fur crea-

u. S. H. A. Starts
| 400th Low-Rent
Home Project

The number of United States
Housing Authority low-rent projects
completed or under construction has
passed 400, Administrator Nathan
Straus announced.
The 400th project is at Oakland,
Calf, he said.
More than a third of million
people are now living in the low
rent projects built under U. S. H. A.
or the former P. w. A. Housing Di-
vision, which U. S. H. A. took over
on its establishment.
Low-income families are living in
233 U. S. H. A. projects and In 49
projects built under P. w. A.
Every month an average of 4,500
families are moving from the slums
into neat, modern homes that public
housing provides. At the conclu-
sion of the present low-rent hous-
ing, slum-clearance program 100000
people will be living in U. S. H. A.
projects.
Each Of these new neighborhoods
means new life to people who until
now have been forced to live in old,
inadequate, congested dwellings.
There is no better defense for de-
mocracy than providing working
men and their families with homes
of which they can be proud" Ad-
ministrator Straus declared.

Mackay and other collections now
being sold by Gimbels of New York
contain a wealth of material done
by American artists, famed and
otherwise, whose work is worthy
of g. place in any American home.
Thomas Sully's poetic Bridges
Creek" is an American landscape
that has something to say for itself.
1t may remind one Of Turner and
Corot, but it is all Sully all
American.
John Neagle's portrait study of an
American boy is as fine as anything
done by the English masters of the
18th century. And 1t belongs here,
in America. 1t mirrors a phase of
our development because it captures
the spirit of the American youth
that once was, and which, If we are
to remain a great Nation, must be
re-created and maintained.

preaching to its own audience the
use of antiques in the home as an
inspiration, recognizing that in this
dimension there is more lasting sat.

based wholly upon history, or upon
value.
The preachment is bearing fruit.
We venture to predict that the coll

antique was" and more for what
1t lis" more for lasting qualities
that obviously are inherent in the
object, than for that ephemeral
thing. called reputation, value or
notoriety.

BY CARL w. QREPPERD

From 1776 to 1876, America had
the habit of giving an emotional
historic twist to most of its creative
effort. There is, in fact, little diff
ference between the "brag" of a
small village, or Chicago rampant,
and the display of historic" paint
ings which grace, adorn and monop-
olize the walls of public buildings,
museums and historic shrines. This
is not to decry history as theme
or as a subject, but it is to state shat
it was, to a great extent, the driv-
ing force behind the production of
American artists.
1t is we'll known that the artists
who painted Washington from the
life were commissioned over and
over again to copy their works.
So great was the demand for Wash
ington portraits" that artists stu
dios became factories. Ownership

Blocks Improve Aspect
Of Home Exteriors

People often form their opinion
of a family by their first impress
sion of the home in which that
family lives. If the home has a
cracked walk, unpainted steps, the
reaction is apt to be unfavorable-
even if, within, it is a model home.
The exterior aspect of any home
can be improved with a modest
panel of inexpensive glass blocks
flanking the front door. These
blocks not only have up-to-the-

 But the fray was a fast one, and a hot one, with red and green blurs flicking past the bleachers, furry under the besket when the Christmas colors of the two teams jerseys would blend and then the two lives would be racing back to the other end of the floor.
 One minute to play and the Eagles put on squirt. They start ed playing their old style of ball but it was short preyiew of what might have happened.
 The boys were pulling up but 1t was much too late. Timer Hank Harmon ended the game with a blast from his gun and the score stood 54 to 30, with the Bremen still at the top of the standings.

Henning Five Takes De- Molays 10 Cleaners in
 Basketball Game
GAMES LAST NIGHT HCnning's 39; DeMOlay "A Bremen 54; Eagles 30
HOW THEY STAND

Two hoop frays, -climactical after the Southeast Basketball Tournament, rolled down the maple floor of the Juneau gym last night before about l50 fans, who saw the Henning quint take win from the bottom DeMolays and the fight ing Bremen make play with the Eagles and come out on top by "A points.
 It was right in the first period that the Henning squad started out with swish and blur to mark up two points for every man on the floor, and 1t was done con- secutiveiy All the scorekeeper had to do was to move his pencil down the list.
 Sturrock Hot
 Steady playing Hub Sturrock did some nice work under the basket for the DeMolay all during the scrap but it did no good for the fray was Jennings right from the start with scrappy Krugness pull ing down a nice total of II mark CTS for his five.
 L0dgemen Flash
 Tn the second frame the lodge men made a flash in the pan that lasted only too few minutes to bring them within two points of the Henning score, but then. as fast as it started it was done and so was the game for the DeMolay.
 Like two miniature bliztkriegs the teams beat up and down the floor after the half was over with wild, but yet controlled, Maxmilliam Lewis doing his part with single that chalked up two more points for theielothing men. Chunky De- Molay inai1 Brown did some nice hoop work and ball handling with several pivot shots that took the opponents by surprise.
 Two Men To Showers
 Byington. who spent less time on the floor last night than any game he has played so far, stayed on his feet long enough to make four fouls and be sent to the show CTS. He was followed shortly by Bird who had made his eight points and his four fouls.
 Dead-pan Hickey was in there for the Henning's aggregation and was found by the fans occasionally peering out from between pair of legs after flying tackle after the ball that invariably brought down a DeMolay with it.
 But in spite of the decided Hen ning's edge, the game was good one, marked by looseness and un- scientific ball playing; both teams seemed content to wait for the ball under the blackboard and then try to make a score during the few seconds they had it. Any way you look at it, the Henning's won 34 to 24.
 Fire Bell Rings
 A clang and a bang welcomed the fighting Bremen when they ran out in the floor for the second game of the evening and a fight with the Eagles. Fans were ex- pecting a tough battle with the two top lives on the floor, the Bremen fighting to keep the lead and the Eagles eager to climb to the top. But there was something lacking in the Douglas boys. They did not even give the Bremen a good work out.
 Cheering wildly when the Fire men scored, and jeering bitterly when the going deviated from their desires. a group of Juneau fire men sat in the bleachers and made the gym ring with the insistent clang of fire bell they had mounted on seat.
 No Help Needed But they were cheering to no avail; the Bremen were doing all right by themselves, they needed no help. At the end of the first
