A nine-hole golf course, which prob- | ably will be ready for use early next Summer, now Is in progress of devel- opment as a feature of ew 200-acre residential area bring laid out in the tlon west of Somerset and north of ver road, according to plans reveal- ed today by Kennedy-Chamberlin Co., the owners, Plans for an eclaborate clubhouse 10 be erected on the course, which will De known as the Kenwood Golf Club, now are being drawn, and tennis courts and a swimming pool also are 10 be constructed as a part of the plan. As preliminary work to the develop- ment of this propesed new community, more than four miles of new S have been graded, and cor gangs now are at work-paving the first section of the community, where 10 or 12 houses soon are to be built, it is announced by E. S. Kennedy of | Xennedy Bros. Co., who is president of Kennedy-Chamberlin Co. Streets Preserve Contour. The new streets are about a dozen | in number and are laid out in con- formity with the natural rolling con-| tour of the land, and in places are | given sweeping cu: in order to| make possible preservation of trees in this section, which is well wooded. A parkway between 250 and 300 feet wide is to be developed at the north- | west side of the community, near the | Rolf course, and will run from River road to Goldsboro road, following the | line of a small stream. There will be | another park development at the op- posite side of the section, on either side of Dorset avenue, which has been cut through from Wisconsin avenue, opposite its intersection with Grafton street, to River road. Dorset avenue, ‘when completed, thus will provide a new and much shorter thoroughfare from Chevy Chase Circle to the Ban- Burning Tree and Congres- sional Clubs from Connecticut avenue, shortening the distance from the Chevy Chase Circle several miles as com- pared with the present route through Bradley lane. Nichols Makes Suggestions. Suggestions as to the projected resi- dential development have been gi by Jesse C. Nichols of the Natio Capital Park and Planning Commis sion, Mr. Kennedy said, and he and Donal L. Chamberlin, his associate, expect shortly to make a trip to Kan- sas City, Mo., to study Mr. Nichols’ development there for ideas for appli- cation here. The section is to be high- 1y restricted, with emphasis placed on the beauty of the houses, Mr. Ken- nedy states. T Home Building Hints. ‘The permanence of the moderif home is just as important as the perma- nence of all other buildings, vet seldom find any one as much con- cerned about the durability of the materials that go into homes as about those that go into schools. hospital office structures and the like. The mere fact of difference in size of the buildings seems to have made a differ- ence in the public mind. Yet homes | are everywhere acknowledged the bulwarks of the country, type and number of homes arce | tention to the following facts: ESTATE. THE EVENING STAR. WA HINGTON, D. €. SATURDAY.

BALANCE HELD FEATURE OF SOOTHING ROOMS Proper Use of Both Line and Color Found to Give Most Help. e is a feature of soothing There is a mistaken idea that othing a room must be monot- onous. Dull gray walls, natural green curtains and upholstery, pastel-col- ored lights—in so many people’s minds these mean harmony. The real reason for the satisfying room is balance, both in line and color, says the Home Owners' Institute, Inc. In many rooms we have a particu- larly pleasing balance. The panels are even and rather narrow because the room is low-ceilinged and needs the added height Wl h is obtained through the perpendicular lines. The rectangula ape of the panels is re- peated in the lattice-like lines in the wallpaper, but they are broken at reg- ular intervals by charming baskets of bright-colored flowers. The paper formal enough, but of such bright nd happy colors that the whole room is built around it. The simple straight- lined furniture and the obvious lines in the large boards of the floor carry the rectangular effect into the fur- zs as well as the walls. oom must not look like a fu- turistic drawing.

The problem of balance in color has also been solved. The corn-colored | © of the wallpaper may be offset a preponderance of soft green in the upholstery and rugs. But the room could still be weak if we did not add to these base colors some bright blue and orange. There is balance between these exciting bright colors and the soothing background colors, as well as in the clever use of design. . Hindsight a Drug. From the Boston Transcript.
