PoPering Ceiling of Room
In Color Adds Interest

Did you ever try papering the
ceiling of room-not with the
usual white ceiling paper, but with
the same paper as the side walls
or a companion piece in the same
colors?
In the gabled roof houses of New
England are to be found many de-
lghttul ceilings papered in small
patterned, vivid papers, which were
especially designed for this purpose
and as contrast to plain side
walls with either painted medal
lions or widely spaced decorated
paper.
Try one of these tricks in your
own house to add new wall inter-
est. Do bedroom with plain walls
on three sides, with the bed wall
and the ceiling done in a lattice
pattern over which delicate vines
or flowers trail. 1t makes a new
and interesting effect out of the
usual four walls. If you wish to
make low room seem higher, do
the walls in a faint vertical stripe
and the ceiling in a moulding pat
tern that seems to recede into
space. 1t will open the room up
amazingly. Tricks with wallpaper
are as much fun as tricks with
mirrors and bring new life into a
drab, murky interior.

of the fact that one wall is given
up entirely to a triple window and
there is door to the screened porch
on another wall. This will be
especially lovely in the summer,
when the porch becomes part of the
dining room, and even now is very
graceful room for dinner for eight.
The kitchen is a gay little room
with smooth enameled walls in a
nice shade of dove gray, with cup
boards and counter tops trimmed in
bright cherry red. 1t is interesting
to note that the cupboards, made of
wood, have all the nice small shelves
and cubby holes that every woman
loves, with apparently no loss in
space or efficiency. This kitchen
also enjoys the last word in good
refrigerating and cooking equipment,
with an iceboX with an automatic
defroster which goes on daily, rather
than the great "to-do" that takes
place with the usual weekly de-
frosting, when everything must be
removed from the box. The electric
stove has an oven door with double
glass front so that there is no loss
of heat, but one may see what is
going on in the oven without open
ing the door. In spite of all this
there is still room for a small table
by the kitchen window which gives
a light working space The garage
is reached by door from the kitch-

the coverlets on the beds are a pale
soft rose shade that is most attrac-

There is a tiled bath adjoining
this room with linen closets built
in which is very we'll arranged.
There is also nice feeling of quiet
about the room, partly due to its
soft, restful color scheme and
partly because it seems to be shut
away from the busy side of the
house.
This house Is just far enough re-
moved from the main arterial
highway to get away from the noise
but close enough so that no time
is lost in getting to transportation,
stores, theaters or business or into
Washington via Sixteenth street.
1t is a conveniently located. attrac-

well-built, carefully planned houses
that are wise investment in COM

Unusual Decorations
And CoIors Adorn
New Tearoom
All Its Mattresses Have
Red Hair; Table Tops
Exact Fit for Troys

The recent opening of a tearoom
in one of the Capitals department
stores gave a modern decorator I'M
limited opportunity for individual
istic expression. And to weave such
variety of strong, clear colors into
a harmonious whole required perfect
mastery of the decorators art.
Furthering the atmosphere of indi-
viduality, the mattresses are all red
headed.
Built around a garden theme, the
nucleus OF Che oddly proportioned
room is an immense palm potted in
a huge copper urn inclosed by a
circular white-painted trellis reach
ing from floor to ceiling. Above this
trellis and encircling the center
lighting fixture of chromium and
opaque glass, the white ceiling
is decorated with broad rings
painted in a thrilling magentatone.
This shows up wildly against the
off white paint of the ceiling and
walls. A square recess in one wall
is painted pale yellow -chartreuse,
matching the chartreuse of the
cashiers desk-behind which a glass
wall reveals banked tropical foliage
of growing plants. Chartreuse paint
is used again farther down the room
to coat two flower boxes attached to
one side of white pillar with deep
green base.
Walls Are Distinctive.
At one end of the room the wall is
lined off into large squares, with
each square holding spray of fruit
grapes, plums, a pear, an apple, a
bunch of cherries-all painted in
natural colors. Directly opposite, at
the other end of the long room, the
wall is decorated with a large, mod
ernized tree design raised in bas
relief against the wall In brilliant
contrast TO the white branches
and leaves is an occasional apple,
pear or cluster of grapes executed
in vivid colorS. To the right of this
tree design a carved semi-alcove is
painted with broad vertical stripes
of the rich magenta used on the
center ceiling.
Sleek conservatively modern chairs
in light blond wood, with seats of
red, green or violet, surround small
tables with a single support of dark
green enameled iron. These tables
are unique in that the top frame
work of blond wood exactly fits an
oblong tray which may be COM
pletely removed and replaced i'm
mediately with another fully
equipped, after each customer has
finished, thus enabling the waitress
to serve with minimum of labor.
Covering these trays are charm
ing mats of white paper printed with
an all-over design of green laurel
leaves.
Dishes Are Colorful.
The dishes, likewise in keeping
with the modernistic note. are white
with center ring of violet and an
outer ring of green on the plates
The cups are white with violet ham
dies. Chartreuse crescent shaped
plates hold the salads. Dessert is
served from cart with body painted
white, diamonded with red lines.

Two Centers of Interest
In Model Living Room

A West Coast model house fea-
lures living room designed with
two centers of decorative interest.
One is the modern fireplace, which
is painted in graduated tones of a
soft coral color, which shows to
excellent advantage against the
ivory painted walls. The fireplace
wall is broken only by an indirectly
lighted niche or shadow box. The
two huge, comfortable chairs are
yellow covered, and the coffee table
before the fireplace is of coral
crystal.
The other center of interest is a
four section sofa, semi-circular in
shape, which fits into the great
bow window Rt the opposite side of
the room. This sofa is covered in
blue. Gold, coral and white leather
are used on other chairs in the
room. A sculptured broadloom rug
in deep coral color fits the shape
of the room.

and the outside part were made. A
coat hanger was cut down TO
measure IL inches from end to end
and was placed between the lining
and the outside; these being
stitched together around the top, as
illustrated.

Two Investigations
"a,

In Which Is Survived
Passengers Tell Stories
Of Heroism on Plane
Downed in MurshIund
BY the Associated Press.

VERO BEACH, Fla. April A.
Spared through a terrifying sky
storm and a swamp crackup, 16 men
and women rested today while Off
cials sought to learn just how
and why an Eastern Air Lines plane
plopped down in marshland yes
terday.
The storm-bred near-tragedy tore
the shiny aircraft, but took no lives
and apparently brought dangerous
injuries only to the pilot.
Even he was expected to survive
to give investigators what they SO
seldom get-the full story of the
man at the controls when disaster
slaps at a transport plane.
All those who lived to tell their
stories of swift danger, hardship
and heroism were being denied per-
sonal visitors today, but Congress
and the Civil Aeronautics Board
moved swiftly to capitalize on this
rare opportunity to learn of trouble
in the air-trouble presumably much
like that which in the past has
smashed planes to the ground, leav-
ing none to report or point remedies.
Start Questioning Passengers.
Three c. A. B. investigators started
questioning passengers late this
morning.
Pilot Gerald O'Brien of Miami
guided the 21-paSsenger Douglas
plane to a right side-up landing in
a pond about 9 am. yesterday and
the 13 passengers and crew of 3 hud-
died in waist-deep water until long
after dark, when rescuers finally
reached the scene, miles from the
nearest highway and a mile from
the closest dry land.
His chest crushed and a leg in
jured, perhaps broken, Mr.. OBrien
insisted upon remaining with his
ship until every one else was ferried
out of the marsh and given medical
care. One passenger, A. G. McIn-
tyre of West Palm Beach. an E. A.
L. employe, stayed with him.
I'VE got caught in a terrific
Storm" Mr.. O'Brien said. Il fought
it for some time. I kept trying to
get out of it.
Then we dropped $500 feet before
could catch it. Then I looked for
a likely place to put her down."
Last Two Brought In.
Mr.. OBrien and Mr.. Mcintyre
finally were brought to the hospital
here about $50 am. The pilot,
wrapped in a blanket, was lifted into
the building on stretcher, but Mr..
Mcintyre walked.
Asked what the passengers and

CAIRO, Egypt, April 4.-The R. A.
F. has struck back fiercely at Ger
man and Italian forces moving up
the Mediterranean Coast in Libya
italian North Africa, the Middle
East headquarters said today.
The axis mechanical force, es-
timated at two divisions or about
10000 men, had driven the British
back l80 miles from the most ad-
vanced point of the British inva-
sion of Libya, when the R. A. F.
struck.
Bomber aircraft of the R. A. F.
made a heavy attack on enemy
motor transport conveys in the
Mersa Brega area of Tripolitania
during the night of April 2-3," the
r. A. F. communique said.
After dropping bombs which
were seen to burst among the We
hicles, setting a number on fire, our
aircraft descended to low altitude
and stopped several more vehicles
by machine-gun fire. A successful
bombing raid Was also carried out
on Tripoh Gibyan capitaD."
Mersa Brega is about $50 miles
south of Bengasi, from which the
British have retired. 1t lies north
east of Ell Agheila. which was the

Military observers said the port OF
Derna-224 miles east of Bengasi-

for the next British stand.
In East Africa, however, British
fortunes were still on the upswing.
