campaign hard" to elect Lloyd b.
Reid. present highway commits
sioner.
Whether an election would be
held April 5 remained in doubt
until late yesterday when con-
ferees announced they had come
TO an impasse.
Since the Senate spokesman de-
manded the highway department
be run by an engineer selected by
the governor and the House in
sisting the departments policies
should be set by a three-member
board, there could be no middle
ground.
"And unless the House sees
At to 20 along with the Senate,
the bill cannot reach the gov

Logic said. The bill cannot
pass the Senate unless the high

single man and not a three-mem-
Der commission"
While Ernest c. Brooks, new
chairman of the Democratic state
central committee. announced that
candidates on the Democratic state
ticket will meet here tomorrow
to work out campaign strategy,
Charles M. Ziegler, the Republican
nominee, was busy setting up his
campaign organization, intending
TO follow through no matter what
the legislature decides.
To keep candidates for highway
commissioner off the April bal
lot, the bill must be signed by
the governor by Monday. Leaders
of both houses have indicated pri-
vately they will be satisfied il
the bill dies in conference COM

If you're likely to find yourself

buying diamonds is like buying
fine furs-a wonderful adventure.
but risky one for the unin-
formed. It's an undertaking that
demands the assistance of an eX-
pert-some one who has made a
study of the subject and is quail
fed to give honest and unbiased
advice.
However, also like furS, there
are certain basic points that you
can get into your mind which will
help you make the wiSeSt choice
when the time arrives. It's a
good idea to enlist the aid of the
best ieweler you can find. but it's
an equally smart trick to know
a little something about the sub
lect so that you can ask intelli-
gent questions and know whether
or not you're getting the most
for your money.

In figuring out what makes a
fine cut stone, you can remember
the theory of the a Cs," meaning
carat, cut, color and clarity.
Carat is the unit of weight
one carat equal to 100 points. So
when stone is listed as weigh

Naturally. the larger the stone,
the more costly it is. providing it

three times the price of 1-carat
stone of comparable quality, for
larger diamonds are more rare.
Diamonds in their original

where the second c comes in. 1t

and the more planes, or facets
as they are called, the more gilt

early idea was to cut as few
facets as possible in order not to
reduce the weight of the gem,

facets are used. correctly placed,

prints or similar subjects. This
type Of handling helps the force
of the picture subject and also
makes the wall decoration a part
of the whole room scheme.
This, of course, does not mean
that we go out and buy pictures
merely to grace the walls of a
certain room. Pictures are a very
personal possession. They should
have real meaning to the own
er, By the proper handling OF
the frames almost any subject
may be fitted into its inviron-
ment. In this way the individ-
ual taste of the owner Is graft
fed and the room gains in dec
ora ton.
Dark old portraits are best in
the formal background of the
living room, dining room or hall.
Currier and Ives or similar old
prints may be formalized by in
. teresting frames ard hung in
panels and groups so that they
become an important space on
the wall. Colorful modern prints
may be covered with glass and
hung fat on the wall with no
frame. Dog and hunting prints
are perfect in the library or rec
reation room. but may be framed
IN such a way that they fit into
almost any background.
Many pictures may be framed
cleverly at home. A most mex
pensive mounting is the result OF
pastlng a print to a fiat piece of
wall board. 1t should be thor

three coats of white shellac or

Fashions change in the way pic
lures are framed and hung. A
newly decorated room should
have the pictures on the wall re-
styled.

Washington Women Are Wearing

Accessories, as had been said
many times before, are going 10
play a more important role than
ever in our spring wardrobes.
One ell-dressed young lady con-
flded the other day that she owns
only two basic black dresses and
a number of ultra-fantastic hats
yet most people seem to think
that she never appears twice in
the same outfit! Washington

The pictures on your wall are
subtle part of your decorating
scheme in this year 1943. No
more do we settle for the gentle
little tinted photograph in the
gold frame unless we have a
delicately furnished bedroom
which calls for just this type of
thing. These days we place the
subject In its proper environ
ment. we frame it to go we'll with
the furniture in the room and
We give considerable thought to
its placement on the wall in in
teresting groups or panels ac-
cording to size and subject.
For the period room 1t is still
possible to get the wide heavy
gilt mouldings which were so
much part of the great por-
traits of the 18th century. To-
day We simplify these, using a
neater moulding, exchanging
deep carving for fiat planes
which pick up light and shade.
We prefer our gilt not too gaudy,
and often soften its brilliance by
antiqueing it down. glazing the
surface with paint which
matches the wall. In this way it
seems to blend into the atmos-
phere of the room.
For summer rooms there are
frames of simulated bamboo or
rattan. Empire or Directoire
rooms call for white plaster
frames against deep colored
walls. Modern rooms use fiat
planes of light colored, bleached
wood, plastic, glass or other ma
terials which are carefully keyed
to the room furnishings.
Mats surrounding pictures no
longer are necessarily of white
paper. They are more likely to
be a soft, pale shade which ac-
cents the color in the picture.
Sometimes fabric in high color
which has been used elsewhere
in the room is repeated for mats
