Furnishing a guestroom and fitting it with the little conveniences that will be most welcome by those who occupy the room, is one of the pleasant tasks of housekeeping. It is one of the graces of the home to have visitors' comforts attended to. Also there is the happy thought, when fixing the guestroom, that it will be occupied by those dear to you, some member of the family and also occasionally by those who visit you for the first time and to whom you would like to “put the best foot foremost,” as the saying goes when one wishes to appear to best advantage. If the room is large enough put twin beds in it. There should be a dresser with good mirror and a chair or bench before it, a writing desk or table ar- ranged as a desk; at least one com- fortable chair, a bedside table with lamp, or a bedside floor lamp; and ‘whatever other furnishings the room demands, such as more chairs, oc- casional tables, lamps, etc. For the convenience and comfort of guests the writing desk should be sup- plied with stationery, postals and a few stamps, a freshly filled inkstand, pens, pencils, eraser, blotters and a calendar The dresser should have pins of vari- ous kinds, a comb, brush, hend mirror, hairpins, ' powder and powder puff. ‘These articles may be in the top bureau drawer, or on the top of the dresser. If in the drawer the dresser should have some suitable ornaments ticreon, such as candles in good-looking candle- sticks, or dresser ornaments of glass or poreelain now favored and a vase, which Popular Ensemble Frocks BY MARY MARSHALL.

There are two | blouses of washable silk, simply trim- med with bows of the material to carry out the trimming note of the skirt and jacket. The jacket, of navy blue silk, is unlined and adds hardly an ounce to the weight of the ensemble, yet pro- vides that welcome sense of being ap- propriately dressed for street wear.

MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST Raspberries Cereal with Cream Bacon_and Eggs Apple Corn Muffins THE EVENING Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. June 29, 1863.—Maj. Gen. George B. Meade has been assigned by President Lincoln to command the Army of the Potomac, which is now between Wash- ington and the Confederate Army of Gen. Lee, which is operating in Western | Maryland and Pennsylvania. News of Gen. Meade's appointment was given | out at Army headquarters here this morning. Gen. Meade has lately been in com- mand of the 5th Army Corps that made the gallant fight at Fredericksburg, Va., | December 13 last on the left of the| | Union lines. He succeeded, it will be | remembered, in driving the enemy from | all their advanced positions and broke | | through their lines, occupying the | | heights they held. He plerced their | { lines completely and got in the presence | } of their reserves, but for want of sup- port was obljged to yield the ground he | had gained. He distinguished himself | at the Battle of Mechanicsville, a year ago Saturday, and was wounded in that affair. Although Gen. Meade was born in Spain, where his father was serving in a diplomatic capacity, he is claimed as & Washington boy, his early years hav- ing been spent here in the fourth ward He is understood to have been a gradu- ate of Georgetown College about 1830. According to Gardiner’s Army Dictionary, he was appointed to the Military Academy | at West Point from the District of Co-| | lumbia, but according to Cullum's Army Register, he was appointed from Penn- sylvania, He became a brevet second | | lieutenant, 3d Cavalry, July 1, 1835: & second lieutenant, December 31, 1835; resigned October 26, 1836; reappointed | a second lieutenant, Topographical En- gineers, May 19, 1842; distinguished himself in the Battle of Palo Alto, and was breveted first lieutenant September 23, 1846. Fle has a high reputation for ability and thérough knowledge of his profes- sion. As an engineer he stands in the front rank of American Army officers. The latest news from Western Mary- land indicates that the Union Army is preparing for a battle with the Confed- erates under Gen. Lee at any moment. Exactly where it will be fought can, of course, only be a matter of conjecture. It will probably be one of the bloodiest battles of the war, and may be the most important thus far in its results. NANCY PAGE Nancy Must Have a Powder and a Morning Room BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. When Nancy visited in the home of the Morgans she saw a small powder | room which made her green with envy.

I am | a freedom-loving soul and I just hate the idea of staying home cooking when I would like to be out playing tennis or something like that. I love skating, | dancing and even fishing with the boy friend, but I see this all shot to pleces | with the advent of the first baby. Gee, I almost wish I was back in ‘a century where all women were expected to do was get married and have children, but | nowadays it means giving up a lot for a girl to get married. Do you know anything good about marriage that would enhance it in my | eyes and thus change my state of mind? I am 22. DISGRUNTLED. Answer: Tt is true that matrimony is no picnic, but, after all, it isn't as bad as it is painted. When we see the number of divorces and so many husbands and wives fighting together like the Kilkenny cats, it does scem that marriage is | a fallure and the surest way a man and woman can take to bring misery upon themselves, but just remember it is only the unhappy marriages that we hear about. It is only the divorces that get on the front page of the newspapers. Nothing is said about the thousands and tHousands of happy marriages, where & man and a Wwife go on quietly and contentedly loving each other and making each other happy and living out their days together in a quiet, peaceful home. It is news when a Hollywood star gets another divorce, but nobody gets out a band when Darby and Joan celebrate their golden wedding. Of course, getting married is the greatest gamble on earth, because when you do it you stake everything you have in life on the outcome. But it is because when you win out the reward is so great that men and women continue to plunge on in spite of the failures they see all about them. For there is no disputing the fact that there are no other people so happy as those who are happily married. To love and to be loved is a necessity of the human heart, and lacking love we go hungering and thirsting for the very bread of life on which to feed our souls. No love is so strong und enduring, no love so satisfying as this wedded love of & man and woman who have found their mates and who give each other a devotion that never falters, a companionship that never wearies, To have a friend whose loyalty never fags you, whose affection excuses your | very faults and finds them dear becKfise they are part of you; to have some one | who will cherish you and to whom you couid turn if the whole world fell away from you; to have some one whose interests were so completely your interests | that you never talked out, surely nothing could be a greater joy than this, and that is what a happy marriage will bring you. As for your dreading marriage because you feel you will have to give up your outdoor sports and dancing, that is an unfounded fear, as you will perceive i you look around you and see how many married people are playing tennis and golf, and hopping around at balls and parties. People don't retire from society and nail themselves down to a fireside nowadays when they get married. They have found out that all matrimony and no play make Jack and Jill get on each other’s nerves and fight, so they pursue their diversions after marriage even as they did before. And you will have this further solace, that as we we grow older our tastes change, and we find our pleasures in different things.. It is only while one is young and bubbling over with life and strength and youth that one cares for the more strenuous games. After a bit we are content to scitle down to quieter diversions. JUNE 29, '1929. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAVE. Everything gets to be a habit if you do it often enough, such as never tawk- ing to anybody or always tawking to yourself. If gerls smile about 50 times a day for a few years to show their teeth and hide their real dispositions, all of a sudden its a habit and they smile all the time their tawking after every sentence, being a fearse way to be and fearser to watch. The easlest time to start habits is very young. If you rock bables to sleep once they will wunt to be rocked all a time, and when they get so big your ashamed to rock them any more they wont wunt to sleep at ail and will stay out dancing so late at night its almost a waist of time making their beds for them. ‘When you are young it is a hardship to wash your neck and ears, but if you do it anyways every day it gets to be such a goed habit that you can do it unconsclously and think about some- thing reely agreeable at the same time, thus making the time fly. If you don't start reeding while you are young, when you grow up you'll use books to keep bookcases from looking empty, and when you are finished the newspaper youll haff to play cards l,o‘ keep bizzy. Most peeple have a habit of yelling ( at old peeple because they are deff, the result being they vell at all old people even if they are no deffer than any- body elts. This proves you mite as well act like others your own age because youll get treeted the same anyways. Always try to eat less on ordnerry occasions than your stummick would axually hold if you forced it, and then on special occasions it will reward you | by not getting sick. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. For the open porch or terrace there is always a demand for furniture which will withstand the various changes of weather. Anything which has to be hur- ried into the house at the approach of a hard storm is not practical; it is not only a bother, but it upsets the house to such an extent that the furnishing of the terrace is scarcely worth the trouble, But in the illustration is shown the FEATUR ES. ya PARIS.—Victor'an dignity without achieves its object.

The room is nothing but an alcove with| a poudreuse or powder table and mir-| rors. Mrs. Morgan had used a vViolet| rug. The walls were hung with violet satin. At the door was a heavy satin portiere which fell straight and heavy with_its own richness. In tone it matched the woodwork of the room. The little poudreuse or powder table ! and chair were of wood painted apple green and lilac lavender upholstery.

My husband is a good man and I am fond of him, but he has a very small money-making ability and only earns barely enough for us to exist on. We are always in debt, always driven for money. * The children lack for the necessities of life and things will be no better because my husband lacks education and will never be able to make more than he does at present. Now here is my problem. I am better educated than he is and can garn rqore than he does, as I worked hefore I was married. I want to go back to'my job because we need the money and because I am determined to educate my children will be neglected. Two of the children are in school and the baby is nearly 3 years old. What shall I do? DISCOURAGED MOTHER. Answer: If a man can support his family in decent comfort I think it is best for the wife to stay at home and take care of the children, because. no one can do that as well as she can, But in a case where the man is unable to earn enough money to provide the necessities of life for his family, obviously it becomes the best thing for the wife also to become a money-earner. She can do more for her children by giving them a better standard of living than she could by her personal attention. It is more important for them to have plenty of bread than it is for mother to make it. She will do more for them morally by putting them in a good neighbor- hood to live than she would by watching over them in a bad neighborhood. Grinding poverty is not only hard on people physically. It is equally disastrous to them mentally, and a woman whose nerves are fretted to fiddle strings by anxlety over where the next meal is coming from, and who is soured by disappointment and embittered by envy because she cannot have anything pretty herself or give her children good clothes, cannot make a happy &nd contented home, or be a cheery companion to her children, She 18 surs # be peevish and fretful and nagging. Nothing will sweeten up the little comforts she longs for and needs. Therefore, even in that sense, she will be a better mother than if she stayed at home and starved with the children. 80 I think your husband is making & mistake in opposing your going to work. What your children miss in not having you with them all the time will be more than made up by what you will be able to give them through your earnings. And you will be & lot more cheerful and a pleasanter person to live with. DOROTHY- DIX. (Copyright, 1929.) .
