 Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON. and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON secrecy has shrouded the conversations which have been taking place De- tween the Russians, the United States and the British. The soviet Government has asked that no mention be made of any Of the personnel taking part in the ois- cussions, and this has been rigldiy observed.
 However, it can be revealed that IT S. officials are highly pleased have found the Russians very req sonable. and that some of the most important discussions of the en- fire war-involving even peacetlme boundaries-have been taking place
 Two possible stumbling biocxs were feared. One was the Russian request for a U. s. declaration oi war against Finland. The other was the Russian desire to map out her frontiers after the war IS over

together and what they do for
each other.
A window with fine architec-
tural trim should utilize this
feature as a frame and have the
curtains placed within the in
closure. In this case the cur
tains should be of the simplest
so that the fine frame gets its full
share of importance and atten-
ton.
Curtain shapes produce def
mite visual effects. If the room
has a low ceiling. long curtains
hung to the floor will give it
height. A too-high room may
use a deep valance at the win
dows to help bring the ceiling
down to normal height.
Climate has q great deal to
do with the attractiveness OF cur
tains, both in their design and
material. The sheerest fabrics
which flutter in the breeze with
an open, pushed-back effect of
overdrapery is the most that is
acceptable in hot weather. Damp
ness and heat are injurious to
many fabrics so that the ones
which stand a difficult climate
are the better choice.
Manufacturers have aided i'm
measurably by making sheer cur

A window may be just an
opening in the wall to let in light
and air, and, as such, is able to be
disguised to fit almost any in
terror, for it has no certain
period or Importance beyond this
utilitarian purpose.
On the other hand, a window
which has personality or period
of its own or is framed in fine
woodwork having good architec-
tural detail has an Importance
which should be considered when
it is curtained. Beyond this
other factors OF climate ex-
posure, scale of pattern and the
purpose of the room all enter
into your selection. In some in
stances there are the problem
windows which must be planned
individually. These are the
round topped windows, the
Gothic, the corner modern, and
the easement.
Certain fabrics, patterns and
curtain shapes have become
identified with certain periods.

knowing the tempo Of these
times makes it possible to cap

period rooms.
There is also the atmosphere
of purpose-the "rightness" of a
formal window treatment in

plain fabric in a library paneled
in wood and lined with books.
the "wrongness" of a playroom
for a romping three-year-old
which is frilly and fussy so that
each pair of grubby hands push
ing aside elaborate draperies
leaves its mark.
The matter of proportion is
most important. Many a small
room is thrown out of scale by
curtains with too much or too
large a pattern. Many a large
one looks unfinished because
the drapery material is made
quate in texture and pattern to
the size of the room. Many OF
these things can not be settled

way almost any window may be

necessity Of even putting in q
hem. In hot weather many win
dows in Washington are well
dressed with only these sheer cur
tains and the addition of deco
rative cornice to cover the head

of interesting, plastic tie backs.
For most round-top windows
the fitted cornice with the decor
atively curved lower edge is the
solution for a graceful appear
ance. Below this sheer curtains
hang to the floor or the sill with
the possible addition of side drap-
cries If the windows are wide
enough. In any situation where
two or three windows adjoin it is
much better to treat them as one

have its individual glass curtain

Smart Washington Is Wearing

Just as soon as real summer
weather descends upon Washing
ton, entertaining takes to the
open. Gardens. no matter how
tiny, are converted into fiesta
spots, and open roofs and out
door restaurants start hanging
out the SRO signs. Wartime has
made dining in daylight a matter
OF course, and it has been in
teresting to see how Washington
lovelies cope with the problem Of
looking their most glamorous-
by night-in the full glare Of
the sun.
They manage nicely, we've de-
cided. Makeup is skillfully ap-
piled so that it does not look
artificial in daylight, and yet
contrives to keep its wearer fresh
and vivid later when candles and
electric lights take over. And
that, incidentally. Is no mean
achievement, as any woman who
has struggled with day-into-
night makeup can tell you.

You Ask

Il am travelling by bus for my
vacation this summer, and will
be on the bus for two nights.
What would you suggest as a
good costume to travel IMP"
Cottons are ideal for bus travel,
especially those that do not
crush. such as seersucker. Why
not a two-piece suit dress OF
dark plaid or striped seersucker,
with a good warm coat for nights,
if you will be in a cool climate?
You cannot expect to get of the
bus looking fresh as a daisy,
but the costume suggested above
will show soil and will crush less
than anything else I could sug-
gest.
II have a pretty regimental pin
given me by a soldier friend. Is
it correct to wear it on street
an. sports clothes?"
Your pin is correct with any
costume on which it looks well.
1t is very right with street
clothes, and with spectator sports
clothes, but it might be hard to
find the right place for 1t with
an active sports costume.

We natives" Of Washington
probably hnd II hard to realize
what . very real hardship our
typical summer weather Is inflict-
ing upon those countless new
comers to the Capital. We have
been so used to sweltering through
endless humid and suffocating
nights, lulled to an uneasy rest
by the hum Of electric fans and
an obligato to mosquitoes, that
we fail to remember that other
people may have lived in places
where nights were cool and fresh
and blankets in order.
Too, we old-timers are accus-
toned to working In ofiices where
the most popular spot was the
water cooler, and the hottest ar
guments revolved around where
to place the electric fan, and
whether closed windows or hot
breezes offered the best working
conditions. And those Of us who
have labored through the day in
the comfort OF air conditioning
have learned to our sorrow that
the night after" is ten times
hotter than under nomal circum-
stances.
We are old hands at wearing
those cotton waShables that the
country suddenly discovered as a
new fashion this year. We've
worn white shoes from April l to
October IS, nine years out Of ten,
and thought nothing Of 1t. We've
learned to stay out Of the boss

and we know better than to take
umbrage at q snarly remark
