A well known furniture house
on Connecticut avenue has
just finished redecorating a
six-room apartment which the
public is invited to inspect any
day during store hours, 10 to
$50, and on Wednesday, April
5, from 7 to 9.
The decor is traditional and
and you'll find it sophisticated
enough for city living, yet in
formal enough to be easily
adapted for country homes,
Although every room in this
apartment is exceptional, we
selected the living room decor
to pass on to you.
The walls and woodwork are
painted In a greenish gray
which is much lighter shade
than the carpet. The latter is
a specially dyed greenish gray

Cream Puffs

Welcome as April sunshine are
tender cream puffs filled with ice
cream and topped with fresh
strawberry sauce. When making
cream puffs at home, drop batter
by heaping tablespoons onto a
well creased baking sheet. Leave
two inches between each puff to
allow room for spreading. Bake
first at high temperature (45O
degrees F. to puff them, then at
moderate temperature $3.50 de-
grees F. to dry out and brown
AS soon as you take puffs from the
oven make a slit to let steam
escape.

Lemon Butter

When you want to make Lemon
Butter to serve over broiled fish
f1llets, use a tablespoon of butter
or margarine and a teaspoon of
lemon juice, creamed together,
for each serving; season we'll with
salt and pepper. A teaspoon OF
finely minced parsley may be
! added if desired.
Evening star., 1950-04-04
Butter Cakes

Lightness of butter cakes mixed
by the conventional method is
partly due to the air beaten into
the batter during the early steps.
That is why it is important to
cream shortening and sugar until
light and fluffy. After eggs are
stirred in, the mixture should be
beaten again until it is light and
fluffy. Blend flour mixture into
batter in thirds, alternately with
milk added by halves. Mix to a
smooth batter and bake.

chased and to all readers inter-
ested in marionettes and puppets:
The Puppeteers Of America is a
nonprofit organization founded in
1887. Its membership is steadily
growing and includes profession
ais, amateurs and fans, but all
deeply interested in puppetry. A
magazine Is published six times a
year. which contains news Of the
marionette and puppet world. ad-
vertisements giving information
as to where puppets and theaters
may be purchased. as well as
books. etc. The puppeteers have
an active part in all activities of
the group. The secretary is Miss
Helen Kingston. 1872 Asylum ave-
nue., West Hartford Z. Conn.
Now as to the specific request
Of the mother: If you and your
little boy want real fun. make
your own marionettes. There are
a number Of books on the subject.
No doubt you can obtain them by
inquiring at your library or at
your favorite book store. II not,

Now I should like very much to
hear from any one who has been
successful in lining chest drawers
with fiowered wallpaper. What
kind Of musilage was used. and
any special hints as to doing an
attractive job. I should like to
give the lined drawers clear coat

Basketball 10 Abolish
Protested 2-Minute
Rule, Coaches Say
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 27.-Several
members of the National Basket
ball Coaches Association predicted
today that the controversial two
minute rule will be thrown out.
The coaches began gathering
for their annual national conven-
ton, held in conjunction with the
NCAA basketball title game to-
between Bradley and City
College Of New York.
Arthur Dutch) Lonborg, North
western cage coach, said he ex-
poets change in the rule to come
out OF the three-day coaches
meeting.
Bruce Drake of Oklahoma, a
member of the coaches group
and the National Basketball Rules
Committee, added:
II the answers to our ques-
tionnaires are an indication, we
will do away with the rule"
The rule under fire provides
that the team fouled in the last
two minutes .of a game retains
the ball after. free throws. The
major protest against this is that
the team behind is penalized un-
fairly.
Bradley and C. C. N. Y. will play
the NCAA final using the standard
version. The same two clubs
played in the National Invitation
final using the local version-a
Jump ball after free throws in
the last two minutes.
Several sections of the country.
including the Western Conference
and Ivy League. voted out the ma
tional two-minute rule in favor of
their own varying interpretations.
The general howl over the rule
included such complaints as:
Reduces the game from 40 to
38 minutes.
Virtually assures victory for the
team in front at the start Of the
final two minutes.
Drags out the game with the
resultant loss Of spectator interest
over a possible exciting finish.
