Hotel Chapel

The Adolphus Hotel, retain
ing the graciousness of the
past. served as the convention
headquarters Of the general as
sembly.
On its fourteenth floor the
hotel has a small chapel, put
in during World War II. Here,
in the midst of downtown Dali
las, a person seeking quiet and
a place to mediate may 60
without chance of being dis
turbed.
The chapel is furnished
tastefully. A small altar,
against a background of soft
light brown drapes, is at the
rear. 1t has a gold cross, a
large gold cup on each side
and beside them two long
candles, the tips electrically
lighted. A large King James
Bible lies open before the cross.
One side has two chairs, COW
cred in deep red, with a small
table in between them. OPP
posite is a lounge. also draped
in deep red, and above 1t an
oil painting extending almost
the length Of the wall. It
depicts a bishop worshiping be-
fore an improvised altar, his
train held up by two altar boys.
Behind him in attitudes of
prayer are 10 figures, dressed
in a manner suggesting early
Spanish days.
Several years ago the chapel
served an unusual purpose. One
evening about II o'clock Rep
reSentative Rogers, Democrat
Of Texas. came to the Adolphus
Hotel. He did not have a res
ervation and every room was
taken. Not only that, but ev-
cry room in every hotel in
Dallas was filled.
What to do? The manager,
an old friend, finally suggested
that Representative Rogers
sleep in the chapel. Since it
was q converted room, there
was a bathroom behind the
drapes and a telephone under
one Of the covered chairs.
The Congressman took ad-
vantage of the offer. He did
not awake until 1880 the next
morning. Representative Rog-
ers told the manager that he
not only had never slept so late
but that he had never had such
a comfortable and peaceful
sleep in a hotel room.

Sewing for Back School

To make sure your seams are also wash
and-wear, keep bobbin tension and needle
tension equal, and as loose as possible with
out interfering with good stitch formation.
Use II to IA stitches to the inch to keep the
seam from pulling Also, check to be sure
pressure foot feeds the top and bottom fabrics
through the machine at the same speed.
Pattern companies advise that little girls
can be taught beginning sewing technique
as early as age seven. By making back-to-
school sewing mother and daughter project,
teaching becomes an easy and enjoyable
process. For example, the child could cut
out decoration for pocket, which mother
can then stitch to the dress, or the child could
do some simple decorative stitching under
mothers guidance.
