Mrs. Guedry
called "Study House," an ingenious ar-
rangement of movable walls. Here the
advocates of eating in the kitchen bat-
tled with defenders of combination live
ing-and-dining rooms; the double-bed and
the’ twin-bed continued their generation-
long feud, and cross-ventilation was
studied in operation rather than blue-
prints. Women were emphatic about one
thing. They wanted room for storage.
From canned vegetables to kiddy cars,
from bath-towels to lawn mowers, every-
thing has to be "put away” eventually,
they declared, and only the housewife
knows what a job it is.

Every House Needs Adequate Closet Space
I F American women always had their say in planning, no house
- would be started without at least three roomy closets, all with
■ iequate shelves built with definite articles in mind. Shelves for
- ankets, quilts, hats, shoes, linen, electrical appliances for both
) eaning and cooking, suit-cases and a dozen other little used but
cessary items.
Recently I have had occasion to go through a number of houses,
j II ten years old or older, and 1 have found that every one of them
¥ acked sufficient storage space. One, I remember, had a large
1 reception suite with beamed ceilings, a library with a rock fire- "
. place, floors with special designs worked into them, and many other
’ oints of charm, but only one closet on the first floor. That was a
ubby-hole in- the guest bedroom.
. Houses like that are built for show, not for actual living. It may
only a few hours in the year that a reception suite is needed but
ose little comforts which make up greater ease of living are needed
J ery hour in the year.

Asked to Assist With Spanish Refugee Problem
I FOSTER Parents’ Plan for Children in Spain has been worked
♦ t out, and Americans will be asked to assist. More than 100,000
| banish children are homeless or parentless as a result of the Spanish
’ ar.
Thirty cents a day, it is estimated by the committee, will pay
or the upkeep of a Spanish child. Those Interested in assisting
. ave been asked to communicate with the Foster Parents’ Plan for
panish Children, 55 West 42nd St., New York City.
Four groups of houses have been rented for the refugees in the
ighborhood of Biarritz, France. Each colony has its own staff of
i achers, a doctor, a shoemaker, a barber, a dressmaker and carpen-
■. The staff are all Spanish refugees who work for their bare main-
nance. The children are dressed simply and neatly in tunics and
ndals.
Mrs. George Thomas Abell, who was married here last week at the home of her father, Mr.
Charles L. Hanger, Forest Hill, is now on a wedding trip to the Golden Gate Exposition in San Fran-
cisco. The couple will make their home in Midland. Mrs. Abell is a graduate of the University of
Texas and a member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority. She is the former Miss Gladys Hanged.—Rhea-

T UNCHEON yesterday was given up to two groups of young
J people, the high school graduates from Arthurdale, W. Va.,
and a group of history students brought over by Miss Julia
Parker, a friend of mine from Hyde Park, who is teaching in a
Baltimore, Md., School.
Every time we enter the state dining room now, I feel I must
explain about the new Lincoln portrait. I don’ have to draw
people’s attention to it, for it dominates the whole room and is
so well lighted that your attention
focuses at once on the beautiful head
The expression is different from any
other portrait of President Lincoln
which I know. I delivered a little lec-
ture on the historical interest and as-
sociation of the various rooms and
led my charges through the rooms
on the second floor, where I turned
them over to a guide for inspection
of the executive offices.
Two appointments in the after-
noon, then I attended a small tea for
the administration council for the na-
tional council for the national society
for crippled children. Thirty states
were represented, which I think is
quite remarkable when you realize
that this work is done entirely on a
voluntary basis. Later, the executive
board of the National Women’s Trade
Mrs. Roosevelt
Union League came in for tea and I was very happy to see some
of my friends whom I had not seen for a long time.
We gathered together some old newspaper friends last night
at dinner, for Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brown of Albany, N. Y., with
their two boys, who are spending the week-end with us. After
dinner they had a movie, “Juarez" which sounded most exciting,
but Miss Thompson made me work on an article, which we man-
aged to more or less finish with the sound of a movie in the
distance. ′
----A grand side thia- morning, and this afternoon I «im taking
my guests over to Annapolis, for I think boys always enjoy see-
ing the naval academy.
Our horses discovered a new hazard on the bridle path the
other day. The airport has an enormous pipe through which the
sand is being sucked out and the noise can be heard for some
distance. I thought our horsts would be seriously troubled. In-
stead, they simply looked with interest and walked on. This
morning, however, there was no noise, no men working, no places
where water was spouting out and both horses looked with real
suspicion at the change and I think were really more curious
than when everything was in action. E. R.
