REAL "ESTATE. How to Arrange Furniture BY LYDIA LE WALWWE BARON WALKER. An old table, an old chair and an old print serve tp make this corner of % room distinctive Unless a home is that of newly-weds there is always the problem of welding 0 a pleasing decorative unit an as- that distinctly not belong to the same period.

But without going further into spe- cific instances, let us consider more ticles to make them appear to best ad- vantage in themselves and to the scheme of the room. Some pieces of furniture should be accented. like the accidental” note in music that loses its intention if not stressed. This decorative stressing is acquired by grouping furniture that is of the same type.

The little group centers attention delight- fully This same method of focusing attention can be carried out with all picces of value. Make them dominate the decoration. Just the reverse may prove success- ful if articles that are not decoratively good are separated and quelled. Make the poor pieces sink into insignificance as much as possible. Sometimes they can actually be shoved into a corner or be partly hidden behind fine pieces. Sometimes they can be uphoistered in such dark and umobtrusive fabrics that ungainly shapes are minimized. Some- times they can be left out altogether. This is a triumph in home decoration. But when furniture is essential and i, the checked material. of conglomerate nature, assembling pieces that naturally belong together will often give an effect of careful se- lection and attractive decoration. There are few homes in which this method does not have to be followed to put beauty into decoration. | 1In its new, all-metal monoplane, with a wing span of 140 feet, and having a weight-lifting capacity equal to 30 pas- | sengers, Scotland claims the largest air liner in the world.

'THE_EVENING Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 4, 1800.—Col. W. W. Bur- tows, commandant of the United States Marine Corps, letter to -Lieut. Thomas Barclay, who is on recruiting duty at Alexandria, Va. suggesting that he enlist boys to be taught to become fifers and drum- mers for the Marine Band. It is un- derstood that the headquarters of the Marine Corps will soon be moved from Philadelphia to Washington, and that the band will play in open-air con- certs here next Summer. The Marines were disbanded at the close of the War of the Revoiution and then organized later as & curps under the act of July 11, 1798. Since that time the hcadquarters have been in Philadelphia. Col. Burrows is the first commandant. February 4. 1803.—The New Jersey Avenue Market was opened under mu- nicipal control today, ‘although it has been in operation for some time under private control. It is located on New Jersey avenue, south of D street south- >ast, on the public reservation near that point. The City Council decided by an act passed last October to take under public control both the New Jersey Avenue and the Center Markets. The latter is frequently called the Marsh | Market. | A new market has been opened re- | cently on the public triangle on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue be- | tween Twentieth and Twenty-first | streets northwest, known as the West- | ern Market, but indications thus far are that it will not be very popular with buyers. It is understood that another market will soon be authorized at today wrote a STAR, WASHINGTON, D, C., MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. A Busy Mother's Beauty. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I wonder if you would be kind enough to give a thought to a busy mother's beauty problems. 1 am just 22 and have three bables and | am in & most rundown condition. I do| all of my own housework and have not | much time to devote to my own per- son. What is troubling me most just TAKE 'rn';\ TO MASSAGE THE SCALP now is my hair. My scalp is covered with dandruff and my hair comes out in large handfuls. My youngest baby is 4 months old and the oldest is 3 years old. (2) What colors should I wear? My halr is very dark brown and so are my eyes, and my complexion is dark, too. I am 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 133 pounds. (3) I have en- larged pores on my nose. (4) What can I do to keep the hair on my face from being noticeable? A TIRED MOTHER. Answer.—(1) While local treatments will be helpful in improving the con- dition of your scalp, what you really need is to build up your general health. It is not unusual for the mother's hair to become scanty after the birth of a child, however. Instead of spending money on beauty treatments, you would do better to hire some one to help you with the housework and the children so that you may get some rest. Take time to massage your scalp for at least 10 minutes every day. Brush your hair also. Never mind if it does come out, as it is only the dead hairs that come away. New ones will grow up in their places. I would like you to have a copy of my leaflet on “Care of the Hair." which I shall be glad to mail to you on receipt of a stamped. self-addressed en- velope. (2) Becoming colors for your type are dull pink, coral, apricot, bright red, rust, brick-red. bronze-green, dark blue, ecru, deep yellow, mahogany. deepest brown, deep cream, black with bright trimming. You are not too heavy. (3) Please send for my leaflets on “Complexion Ills” and “Care of Oily Complexions (4) If the hair is dark, bleach it with peroxide. Every one has a light down of hairs on the face, 50 do not allow yourself to become self- conscious about this. LOIS LEEDS. Improving a Rough, Dark Skin.

Am I too old to improve it? UGLY DUCKLING. Answer.—Of course, you are not too old. Nowadays one is still a young woman at 30, and also at 35 and at 40 years of age, depending upon how long one can keep a youthful spirit. I could help you more if you would tell me more about yourself. The flabby, rough condition of your com- plexion seems to Indicate a general | lack of health. Perhaps you are a nervous type and do not get enough! fresh air and outdoor exercise. I would advise you to have a thorough physical examination by a physician as the first step in your beauty program. Get his advice on your weight, your dict and habits of living. I judge that you are naturally a dark-skinned type. A/ weekly bleaching facial pack will prob- ably help lighten your skin and make it smoother. After cleansing your face | thoroughly, spread on the; pack made of buttermilk and almond meal or corn- | meal. leave it on your face for at least half an hour, keeping it moist.
