DINING OUT

There's no doubt about it at
all.
The last year or so has given
birth to an entirely new de-
partment" in the huge restau-
rant industry-one which mid
city restaurants will surely
have to reckon with, if they
aren't doing so already.
We refer to the fantastic
number Of noteworthy-if not
fabulous-dining facilities
being made available at the
many new plush motor hotels
Springing up across the Nation
i The number in the Washing
ton area alone runs into scores
and they're increasing daily
Even without thinking we car
count at least a dozen along
the large arterial highways ir
Fairfax and Arlington Coun-
ties. A ride through Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges reveal:
even more.
Not one of them is having
it tough. For the most part
their diners are travellers, but
city folks too are partaking be-
cause it gives them an oppor-
tunity to enjoy an evening
drive and dine amid the calm
of suburbia, even If 1t is on
highway.
If you think we're exaggerat'
ling. check the plush dining
rooms at the several elegant
motor hotels along New Yorl
avenue NE. where it crosses
Bladensburg road and becomes
the Baltimore ExpreSsway
They may not boast oil paint
ings and hand-rubbed walnut
walls, but they do have inch
thick carpets, beautiful modern
chandeliers, liveried W walters
draperies to do credit to Merry
wood, excellent service, the lat
est in air conditioning. and no
the least of theSe-good food
some of it excellent food.
Even along old Route be
tween Washington and Balti'

Gourmet Restaurant, an int.
grail Though sub-leased) part
of the equally new Holiday Inr
motor hotel, 1901 Baltimore
boulevard, just a few blocks
north of the University OF
Maryland campus.
The Gourmet is typical of the
caliber of these motor hoteI
dining-out enterprises.
In a calm, tastefully deco
rated room done in two shades
of salmon, brass chandeliers
plush carpet, huge plate glass
window looking out on a spa
cious green lawn, the diner may
order a charbroiled porterhous'

yielded no positive results"
He added: I'VE are explor-

SEAMS TO ME
Pattern Problem
On Collars

The pattern companies do
. fantastic job in producing
their products, but sometimes
they leave out little things
and this can create q prob
lem.
Question: In making suits
or coats I have trouble with
the collar. The undercollar
shows over the edge Of the
upper collar. All patterns cut
them the same size. What is
your solution for this prob
lem? Mrs. M. w.
Answer: I always trim off
h-inch from the undercol-
lar. You'll find that this tiny
bit will keep your undercol-
lar from rolling up.
Question: ! want TO make
my little girl some pique bon
nets with q Scalloped edge
brim. How should I face the
scallops and still have them
perfect? Mrs. E. A.
Answer: Trace the seal
lops on the wrong side Of the
facing. Place facing and brim
right sides together, and
haste. Stitch around the seal
lops, taking one stitch across
at the point Of each scallop.
Trim off seam allowances,
trimming facing close to
stitching line, and brim hs-
inch wider than facing.
Clip and notch the seam
edges at close intervals as
shown in figure /. Turn to
the right side and press as
in figure 2. Then hem facing
to brim but be sure stitches
do not show on the right
side.

TINE FACE of the city changes con-
stantly, but not so much that a
trained eye could not look at time
hOnOred intersection and, years later,
be able to identify the spot.
Here is classic example of struc-
tural face-lifting on downtown Wash
ingtOn corner which, still, is identifi-
able with the passage of time The old
picture (right) shows the northwest
corner of Fifth and D streets NV. as it
appeared in 1893 Below is the corner
as it looks today. Do you see much
difference?
When the structure was vacated in
July, 1893, it was Police Headquarters
for the Nations capital. Later, Wash
ington found it necessary to establish
Police Headquarters in the District
Building at Fourteenth and E streets
NV, and during the 3Os the depart
ment headquarters was in long-since
removed structure on Indiana avenue
about 200 yards from the present So
called East Building of the District
Government.
Somehow, the city has never gotten
around to constructing the West Build
ing adjoining the present headquar-
ters near Third street and Indiana ave-
nue. NV. The East Building was COM
pleted shortly before World War II
began and it was four years before the
city was able to make full use of it. The
Army Quartermaster Corps, among
others, occupied many of its offices.
Few alive today will recall the
headquarters building of 1893. Yet the
structure today is a well-known restau-
rant, particularly among those whose
business sends them to court Inside,
the changes are nearly complete, but
the exterior of the building except
for the removal of the staircase of
l893-is readily identifiabIe.
The sureSt signs of the changing
scenes are the TV antenna in the cur
rent photo and the old wooden lamp
post in the old picture. It also appears
that people were willing to stand in a
window for picture 50 years ago This
