Tom was pacing the platform when the train pulled into Licking Branch and Luella shivered ecsta tically--he was so exactly what she had hoped in personal appearance. He had sent her a picture once. And now--he was reaching up his arms for her before she was quite off the train, open-faced, beaming, whispering in her ear: "Luella, you darling, you're sweeter than I thought. If you wouldn't puddle a fellow's eyes! Sweet sentiment, honey, but you're a rare treat to the gaze of a rough old farmer. Welcome to Licking Branch." Tom held her off at arm's length to survey her fondly. Luella returned the scrutiny with a palpitating delight while her mind registered fleeting, ineffectual words --tall, lean, clear-eyed, self-reliant, a man of great endurance and one never taken by surprise. "Oh, Tom--" she stammered, wordless. "Tom?'' he quizzed. "Say. call me by my whole name once, please. I'm anxious to hear you say it." "Tom-Kin--are you--sure?" "Sure as shoorin', honey," he af firmed. "Everything's fixed. There is a preacher over at the hotel; been waitin' there two days." "But, Tom--are you sure--I mean, are we sure--that you want me and that I want you--now that we've really seen each other?" The girl turned a trifle wistful. "Want you, Luella? Want you? Oh, my dear!" Luella was thrilled. It was nice to belong, to be possessed by so de sirable a person as Tom; to hear him asking if she was tired and telling of his plans for them. Free dom, new delicious freedom and an BH -00295 <3l J$riqkter fflormb iS> unreserved content. Then the short walk down the narrow street of Licking Branch-- the frame hotel building--the par lor with plush-covered furniture-- the hotel-keeper and his wife for witnesses--the preacher shaking hands with her, then talking: "To join together this man and this woman in the bonds of marriage. It will be your duty, Luella, to be to Tom a loving, tender, faithful wife; to comfort, counsel, cherish and honor him, in sickness or in health, in want or in wealth; and to cleave to him as your chosen husband. The Lord bless and keep you. Amen." Then Tom taking her in his arms and kissing her and calling her Mrs. Kinnard before the preacher had hardly uttered the last words of the simple sendee--the hotel-keeper's wife brushing away a tear. And it was over. During the ceremony Luella had been vaguely conscious of a shadowy figure hovering about the doorway. Now rhe figure ventured over the threshold, mumbling an agitated apology. "What is it, McClung?" Tom crossed quickly to the old man's side and the two of them stepped just outside the door. Tom returned quickly, a vexed frown upon his face. "A little trouble in my wheat field," he re ported briefly. "Serves me right for cakin' on cramp labor. "McClung, come here and meet che new boss. Mrs. Kinnard, this is my foreman. He'll look after driv ing you up the branch--" "But, Tom, couldn't I wait for you here?" Luella felt suddenly be reft of her staunchly builded bul wark, as though she had been left standing out somewhere in the open, defenseless, unguarded. "No," Tom told her gently but decidedly. *T want you to go home. I'll have to go down to the south fork and put a blanket on that fice in the wheat field. The direction is off on a rangenr toward home. I should gee it done by dark and I want you there at che house waicing for me when I come." The house proved a surprise: a pleasant place, wide and low and rambling, flanked by gnarled and unrrimmed apple trees and backed by an imposing row of bee-gums. Ic had been painted a new, fresh white and was furnished with homely handmade pieces, older than Luella could guess; an abode of charm and quiet and order. A south wind blew fragrantly in at the open window, fluttering the curtains, laden with a breath of harvest sweetness from the out of doors. The girl breathed in deeply, glad now that she was to have a little time to adjust herself to the new habitation before Tom came. From che kitchen came Liddy, a buxom, mild-mannered woman, to show che new miscress to her room. He came at dusk as he had prom ised. But he came in a stretcher, a crude makeshift one of burlap bags stretched between cwo stout poles; borne along silently, tenderly by four of his workmen and attended by the old doctor from Licking Branch, who had been hastily sum moned. Details were meager. Tom had remonstrated in no uncertain terms with one of his tramp work men who was stirring up rebellion among the men. The fellow had waxed unruly and Tom had sum marily discharged him. Later there had been an accident, when Tom was somehow caught in the huge threshing machine. "How--how bad is--he hurt?" Luella questioned the doctor. The doctor grunted. "That's th' funny thing! Can't tell, ma'am. Noc much outside damage--no con cussion to the skull--not enough to cause this unconscious stace.

BATHROOMS BATHED IN By NORMAN J. RADDER Of Chicago, Authority on Modern Plumbing COLOR *T<EN years ago it would have been J. impossible to write an article on the subject of "Bathrooms Bathed in Color." There was no color and no style in the bathroom. The typi cal bathroom of a decade ago was all white. Not only were the fix tures white, but the walls as well, whether of tile or of plaster, were unrelieved by any note of color. What a contrast to the bathroom of 1931! In fact, it is doubtful if ten years have brought about a greater change in any room or any part of the house than in the bath room--and color is here to stay for a while, we are told. James S. Taylor of the Division of Housing of the United States De partment of Com merce in a recent address before a group of realtors N. /. Raddtt declared: "The bathroom has become the most con spicuous feature of many of the small homes of today." Mr. Tay lor's remarks are based on observa tions which representatives of the Bureau of Housing made in 38 cities last year. While Mr. Taylor is talking about the bathroom in the small home, his comment applies with even greater force to the bathroom in the larger home, in the million aire's mansion, in the apartment building, and in the hotel. European observers commenting on the bathroom consciousness of the American home-owner have de clared that Americans are erecting temples of cleanliness and calling them bathrooms. The revolutionary change that has taken place in the attitude to ward the bathroom is due almost entirely to the introduction of color. When colored plumbing fixtures were put on the market four years ago, the American public was ready to accept color. It had previously been educated to an appreciation of color in the bathroom by the bright ening effects of colored tiles. Ar chitects and interior decorators wel comed color in fixtures and saw a new opportunity to give individual ity and distinction to a room that hitherto had been purely utilitarian in its fittings and arrangement. The sales of colored fixtures in the last year have shown an increase of 200 per cent. The "best sellers" (listed in the order of popularity) are light green, orchid, ivory, and light blue. The women of America are right up to the minute on this matter of color and are doing wonders in put ting their homes into line with this vogue. And it is really remarkable what can be done with the new semi-gloss paints, in revolutioniz ing the entire look of the old-style bathrooms. In addition to giving to the bathroom new life and \ Page Six BH -00297 A. <b jfftighterfljomeh. 3 color, these semi-gloss finishes are Of equal interest, and often asso Each had the latest improved de not affected by water and can be ciated with bathroom decorating, is vices for making home life comfort easily cleaned.

You often hear this said of Greta Garbo and, per haps, one of her Mae Tin-:c greatest fascina tions lies in this atmosphere of mystery that sur rounds her. As an artiste she gives everything she has to her public. Herself and her private life she keeps withdrawn from the world. Considerable is known about this Swedish player as a professional, but little of her as a woman. "Do tell me about yourself!" an interviewerpleaded with her re cently. Miss Garbo with a barri caded look replied: "I was born in a house. I grew up like everybody else. I didn't like to go to school." After which she determinedly switched the conver sation to a discussion of her latest picture. In appearance Miss Garbo is slight, with blue eyes and golden hair. She is highscrung and nerv ous, but at the same time, strange as it may seem, she possesses a cer tain unruffled placidity. She works hard, goes out very lirtle and her favorite diversion is walking-- alone. Hollywood can't get her at all and has given up crying to probe into the inner life of this foreigner who is such a strange combination of naivete and sophistication; fire and ice. When she passes through a strange city--where the press would love to interview her for a public that would adore reading about her, nobody knows anything about her arrival until she has gone. So un obtrusively dressed is she, so shy and quiet, so very little like an actress in speech and appearance that, when she signs herself Miss Smith or Miss Jones on a hotel register, nobody doubts in the least but that she is, really, Miss Smith or Miss Jones. The glamorous screen but Page Ten terfly knows perfectly well how to camouflage as a grey moth with folded wings. This interesting young woman was sixteen before she had any con tact at all with the amusement world. She worked prosaically enough, I understand, as "lather girl" in a Stockholm barber shop. Of course she went to the movies often and to the theater now and then, but that was all. She was, however, crazy about them both, and she nearly fainted with ecstasy on the day when some one introduced her to the Scandinavian actor, Franz Envall. She amused and pleased this player to whom she confided her hope that she, too, might one day be seen on the stage. "Why don't you enroll in the Dramatic School of the Royal Thea ter here?" he asked her. Her answer was six months of hard study, after which she took an BH -00301 <2f (Brighter(Homes* & examination and was admitted to the aforementioned school which operates in Stockholm under a na tional subsidy and only accepts pu pils who have passed a rigid test, administered by a committee of twenty school executives, critics, and men and women prominent in the theatrical world. Here the ambitious child applied herself for three years more. One day the Swedish film direc tor, Mauritz Stiller, came to the school looking for screen talent. At the suggestion of her instructor Greta sought an interview with him. He was impressed by her, gave her a screen test and, that being all he could wish for, cast her for the leading feminine role in "The Story of Goesta Berling." From that she went on to other things and was working on "The Street of Sorrow" for UFA when Louis B. Mayer, vice-president of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, came to sign Stiller to direct pictures in America for him. The latter, en gaged to Greta at that time, insisted that she, too, be given a chance over here. Arrangements were made and over the two-came. Then Lady Fate dealt and played her cards strangely. Miss Garbo almost immediately became the rage. Mauritz Stiller, unaccustomed to American methods and none too adaptable to strange customs, faded into the background and finally, a disappointed and heartbroken man, returned to Sweden where he died recently. It is the common belief that he was the one great love of his pro tegee's life, and, a short time ago, Miss Garbo made a lonely pilgrim age to his grave. She is back again, working with new passion and in tensity, as if she would prove to the man she worshipped how right he Top Ph o t o : Greta Garbo, Melro-Gohlwyn-Mayer star, enjoys a rest sitting on the steps of her quiet Santa Monica hotel. Be l o w : Standing in front of the beau tiful Santa Monica Hotel, of which she is a resident, Greta Garbo smilingly waves to her public. was when he said of her to Mr. Mayer: "Greta is a great actress. She will do wonderful things for you." Miss Garbo's first American made film was "The Torrent." Her work in this brought her a long term contract with Metro-GoldwynMayer. Her first talking venture was "Anna Christie," from the play by Eugene O'Neill. If you are shrewd at reading character perhaps you can learn many things about the real Greta Garbo from the screen Greta. If not, you will probably never know much about her, for she is an aloof lady who, one imagines, will always be that way.

Until 15 years ago only a privileged few indulged themselves, and not infrequently these courageous pioneers were ridi culed. At various stages in its de velopment, golf was termed "a sis sy's game," "an old man's game," and "an utterly absurd pastime." A golfer was promptly put down as eccentric. None paid much atten tion to the game, and least of all, the newspapers. Less than two and one-half decades ago the press ac- corded a golf tournament and- a false fire alarm precisely the same recognition. Golf was indeed a placid sport played by perfectly harmless gentlemen who oddly preferred wielding a golf stick to a beer bottle. But that was before 1916. An evolution which previously had been gradual, in 1916 suddenly acquired a momentum which in 15 years has Page fourteen carried golf to rhe summit of sport pop ularity. The impetus was supplied by the first appearance of one Robert Tyre Jones, of whom you have probably heard, in tournament golf. It may have been mere coincidence, but to me there seems to be definite casual relationship be tween Jones' baptismal tournament and the inception of golf's unparal leled growth. Not is it incredible that a single man should be largely responsible for the astounding pop ularity golf enjoys today. At the time of Bobby's entry into competitive golf, the game, in the eyes of the proletariat, was a lethar gic, uninteresting one. It lacked life and color; and most of all it lacked personality. True, there were Vardons, Rays, Ouimers, Bairds. Mitchells, Traverses, Gardners and Travises before Jones, but none of them was big enough to dominate the game. Jones' entrance was dra matic. There was something spec tacular in his debut in the National Amateur at Merion. A kid boast ing but 14 years marching strokes with men old enough ro be counted among his early ancestors was out of the ordinary. The thing had im Bobby Jones mense news value. The papers took it up, and immediately the vitalization of golf began. And Bobby Jones had provided the spark. Golf's debt to Jones cannot be measured. However, a vague no tion of its vastness might be gleaned when it is realized that more than 4,000,000 people play golf today against a liberal estimate of 200,000 players 20 years ago. Golfers in the United States alone support up wards of 10,000 courses. Golf balls are produced at the rate of 20,000,000 annually. Golf has ceased to be merely a game; it is an indus try as well. How far is Jones responsible for this? Of course abstracts like "in fluence" and "popularity" defy pre cise measurement, but a faint idea of the firmness of Jones' hold on the public is echoed by a Los Angeles newspaper. Just recently when George Voigt was making his BH -00305 brighter{Hormi* a valiant effort to succeed Jones as British Amateur champion, the paper did not receive a single tele phone inquiry concerning results at Westward Ho! And just a year ago when Jones was playing, the same paper received more phone calls chan on any other news event in his tory, save only the death of Knute Rockne and the signing of the Armistice. That is a significant commentary on the Californian mind. Jones' popular ity and, conse quently, his influence, is not beyond compre hension. His is an amazing per sonality. Cer tainly no other figure in the world of sport has been so universally loved. His genial smile, his quiet, unassuming mien, his round, "pie" face and his splendid sportsmanship ail contrib ute to his veritable torrent of color. Briefly he is rhe sort of man who would be loved even if he weren't the greatest golfer the world has ever known. My purpose though is nor co ex tol the Christian virtues of Bobby Jones, the man, nor yet to enumer ate the merits of Bobby Jones, the barrister, but co attempt co evaluate the ineffable genius of Bobby Jones the golfer. As a golfer he stands alone, sharply silhouetted against the sun with all the rest looking up. The Great God of Golf, he sym bolizes perfection. Emperor of the Emerald Empire he remains the only man ever to achieve the Grand Slam of golf. Buc ic was not always thus. Bobby did not inherit golf's throne. He had to start, yes, even as you and I. In his kinder garten days, the heir apparent to the golhng titles of the world was not c h e unruffled calculating player golf fans later knew him to be. They tell a story of the young Bobby that serves to illustrate, at least, one of the ob stacles he was forced co overcome before he ripened into a champion. O. B. Keeler, Jones' lifelong friend and com panion, took something akin to a fatherly pride in his protege's golf ing exploits when Bob was still in knee pants. Keeler had boasted of Bobby's prowess to Graatland Rice, famous sports critic, and invited the latter ro play a round with Jones to see for himself. A foursome including Jones and Rice was arranged. On the first hole of the East Lake course at Atlanta, Ga., Jones promptly exceeded Keeler's fondest hopes by scoring a birdie for his illustrious observer. Buc on the second hole Jones pulled the unex pected. Just as Bobby was address ing the ball for a brassie shot, a jack-rabbit scurried across the fair way, destroying rhe absolute silence which the boy wonder demanded. The result was a rather angry Bobby Jones. He cursed lustily, and ac cording co reports the profane dic tion of a champion is no more artistic than yours or mine, espe cially when it happens to be an embryonic champion. Forthwith Jones begged the respective pardons of the other members of his party, seized a driver, and without further ceremony sprinted into the woods afeer the Philistine hare. That was the end of Grantland Rice's first view of Bobby Jones. Being a de termined youngster Jones did not leave che woods until he had tracked down his prey, and it was lace after noon when che future champion of champions staggered to the club house "all tuckered out" as he ex pressed ir. As a youth Jones was just about as wild as che hare he pursued that day. In the early days of his golf edu cation Jones strove for one thing in golf--POWER. He had no regard for smoothness and for timing. These two essentials never occurred to him. He never gave a thought to training for tournaments. He fre quently consumed huge quantities of pie-a-la-mode between morning and afternoon rounds, and yet never was aware that his luncheon menu was prob ably responsible for the added strokes that were invariably found on his afternoon card. But time and experience served to mellow Jones. He discarded the slambang methods and worked for rhythm. He took golf seriously. He trained faithfully. Tea and toast replaced pastry in his tournament fare. He learned co control his fractious temper. And seven years after his introductory bow to tour nament golf at Merion in 1916, the new, dignified Bobby Jones in augurated a series of golfing achievements thac probably will never be equalled. In 1923 he won his first major championship, the Nacionai Open at Inwood. Since thac time, up to and including his retirement last year, the close of every year has found che Atlantan the possessor of at least one national crown. He won the Amateur dia dems at Merion in 1924 and at Oak- monc in 1925. The 1926 harvesr brought him the Open at Scioto. The following year he recaptured the Amateur at Minikahda and re peated a year later at Brae Burn. By way of variety he picked the Open at Winged Foot for his 1929 conquest. And the climax came last year when he 0 \ swept clean che f .JfS/W fur major titles, c^e United States Amateur and Ajl Open and the f l/l British Amateur and Open. In ad- ' dicion he won the British Opens in 1926 and 1927. Thirteen major championships in all, and all won over a span of eight short years. Remarkable? Tremendously so! In 14 years Jones has played 88 18-hole rounds of medal competi tion in major tournaments. Ex clusive of his three 36-hole play offs for Open tides and his various matches in the Amateur, Bobby has averaged slightly more chan 73 and a half strokes per 18 holes, amass ing a grand total of 6,488 strokes in the 88 rounds. His worst round in a United States Open was 79; in a British Open, 77. An amazing record, indeed, and one that be comes the more amazing when ic is remembered that chose 88 rounds were played over che world's most difflcul'c courses and, during che last eight years at least, always with a (Continued on page 21) BH -00306 Page Fifteen JftmhterQiome^ INEXPENSIVE BEAUTY FOR YOUR WALLS =9 Walls--$* Foam; Woodwork--Ivory; Ceiling--Sky Blue; Floor--Blue.

But Tom didn't come around. Luella took up a timid and apolo getic position at the head of the white bed despite the dour looks of the doctor ana the remonstrances of Liddy. Time passed--breathless seconds--minutes--hours. Luelia ventured a quiet question, "His tem perature? Is it rising?" The doctor nodded a brief assent. "Yes--rapidly. Brain symptoms. Must be spinal pressure some where." "Ice packs?" questioned the girl. "Farmhouses are not equipped with ice," this gruffly. "Then cold spring water!" Luella roused to action. Her timidity van ished. She gave instructions to Liddy in unmistakable and noc-tobe-questioned manner. Her gentle ness was strengthened and inten sified by an undeniable firmness. All three of them worked over the prostrate Tom without haste, with out rest. But while the mercury in the telltale thermometer did not climb, it did remain stationary. Presently the old doctor looked up weariedly. Luella worked on. "No use," he told her decisively. "Only one thing: cut in there and relieve the pressure--I think I've got it located--not much in the way of instruments--no ether. I believe while he is still unconscious that we could do it. The circumstances are so unusual that I prefer that you de cide." It was here that Liddy, the robust and strong, broke into hysteria. "Don't let ,'im do it," she begged. "Oh, missy. I'm skeered of the knife --he wouldn't allow it himself! I heard him say once as how- they'd never cut into him for anything. Tom's poison-scared of their shiny tools--he'd never forgive if it was done." Finally the pleading Liddy had to be put forcibly from the room. Whc-n he returned, there was pity in the doctor's eyes for Luella and with it a softening kindness. "Rather a difficult situation for you, Mrs. Kinnard." Then, with an anxious glance at the patient, "There's not much time to lose. Shall I--proceed?" Freedom from responsibility? In irs stead a matter of life and death! Luella decided quickly. "There'll be things I'll need, afterward." Absorbed in his prob lem, the doctor prepared for the tedious operation. Luella stood by bravely through the awesome ordeal, giving what lit tle help she could and presently was rewarded by a reassuring glance from the doctor, a glance which held satisfaction for the operation-- and a new respect for herself. "All right. Everything fine! Should see a big difference now." He fumbled in his grip and drew forth a vial of white tablets, some of which he poured into an envelope. "You better take one of these and lie down for a spell, Mrs. Kinnard. This has been extra hard on you. Need a little stimulant myself. Wonder if Liddy would bring me up a pot of black coffee. I'll stay here tor a bit." Luella found the old servant on the back porch, alternately weeping and arguing with a group or the laborers. The appearance of Tom's wife in rhe doorway caused a hush to fall upon the group. Liddy spoke tearfully, "They're leavin', ma'am--and him layin' mortal hurt upstairs on account of one of 'em--and--the whole tobac co contrac' dependin' on whether it's strung to dry within the next few days. Takin' advantage of him--as never took advantage of a worm." "He ain't payin' us enough, ma'am," the spokesman for the group announced stubbornly. "We know what he's gettin' for this crop --and he ain't payin' us near enough. So we're goin' to quit." "But the}' signed up to stay-- when he took 'em on," interpolated the hysterical Liddy. "I know they did." "Is that so?" questioned Luella frankly. "Don't matter," grumbled an other of the men sullenly. "He fooled us. Marks on paper don't mean a lot." Luella's head reeled. She was beginning now to realize the effects of the weight which had been laced upon her. She clutched at er mental self heroically and her BH -00308 mind measured up to this one mote responsibility. "If you'll wait just a little--I--I have some medicine here to fix--then we'll talk this thing out." She disappeared into the house. If only McClung were here, McClung with his profanity. When Luella returned, she held Tom Kinnard's Winchester in her hands. "All hands up," she ordered determinedly. With one accord, all hands wenc up and all mouths fell open. "I believe," announced the girl coolly, "that there are too many of you co argue wich. You might be able to ouctalk me--but you can't handy ouctalk this. A gun don't stand much argument. Now gee back to the fields--every last one of you--and to work. You contracted to get this tobacco crop strung with in a certain time--ana you're going to do it--without question. March!" For hours she stood in the boiling sun with her gun forcing the unwill ing men to labor. At first they worked sullenly, destructively, tak ing a delight in tormenting her; calling back and forth in insolent and insulting banter. Unprotected and unshielded, she stood her ground, letting the storm of wrath and impudence break upon her head. But after a while the sheer hard nerve of the girl won admira tion of a kind and the crass taunts gave way to sulky silence. However, when it seemed that she could not endure the heat and fatigue another moment, McClung was at her side, taking the gun from her, hurling invective at everyone and the men before him in particu lar. Luella sped to the sick'room. Ac the door, the doctor cautioned her to stop. He leaned above Tom's bed eagerly. "1 think," he mur mured anxiously, "he's coming co himself. Quiet--no excitement! Give him a few minutes' time. Stay just where you are, please." The tall form on the bed stirred and moaned. A hand raised itself and smoothed back the tousled black hair. The doctor waited ex pectantly. Tom Kinnard's wife held her breath. Then--the wide, boyish grin, weak and wan but visible. "Gosh, Doc, am I crowned? Say--what in th' h------- is wrong with my back?

An other smart combination is walls in medium buff and ceiling ivory. A breakfast room with cheery south ern exposure was given a delicious cool atmosphere by carrying the walls in medium green and the ceil ing in the lighter tone, known as delicate green. The plain colors in their numer ous combinations are, of course, al ways good. And then for variety there are the endless possibilities of stippled mixtures. These are known as opaltone effects; and they cer tainly do suggest the beauty and play of color of the opal. These effects are produced by stippling with a sponge over a solid color, BH -00309  i 'ory: oms flat An* Is in A uchious the ceili as ner, alriety :s of own cerand hese line: )Ior, Gb brighterfflotmi* 3 Walls--Pearl Gray. using any combination of colors de sired; such as a dainty scippling of white and pearl gray over a back ground of light pink. Anocher beautiful combination is white and medium green stippled over pearl gray. In homes of the Colonial or Georgian style panelled walls are often used in living room, dining room and reception hall, and they are charmingly finished in flat wall paint. For instance, panelled walls painted white, cream or any delicate shade are typically Georgian. Where panelling is not used, the plain piaster walls in any neutral color or painted pale yellow, blue-green, salmon, peach or whatever shade is desired, are equally good and carry out the spirit of this style. Living room ceilings are usually flat piastered and plain, and may be tinted to harmonize with whatever color is used for the walls, but should always be a shade or two lighter so as to reflect down into the room. Since flat wall paints give to plas ter a smooth, washable surface they are highly regarded from a sanitary point of view. The realization of this is che reason why the efficient housekeeper insists on painted sur faces, both plaster and wood. She likes the assurance that soap and water will remove the dust and dirt where germs find their breeding place. For bedroom walls the perma nent and non-dusting character of the painted plaster is appreciated by all housewives. Cheerful color may be indulged in here. Experts in in terior decorating deny the wisdom of the saying sometimes heard, "when in doubt be neutral.'' They dispel the idea that dustproof tones are required in dingy atmosphere; on the contrary, they claim dust and gloom must be conquered by gay hues. In other words, do not use color which absorbs and conceals, but one which overcomes and domi nates. The salient principle of color, with regard to its application to in terior decoration, is harmony. Every room, when first entering it, should convey the idea of one predominat ing color, whether ir be gray, green, yellow; and this color, whatever it may be, should cover walls, wood work and doors. No other colors should be used in so great a quan tity as to challenge the supremacy of the predominating color. It is quite essential that when de signing the color scheme of a room to remember that the wails, which offer the largest color space, should be the background intended to show off the subsidiary colors of the room, primarily the curtains, which, as a rule, should supply the most definite note of color. The carpet, bedspread and dresser scarf should be second in importance to the cur tains and should never conflict. Intense colors should play a small part in the general color scheme. In a room with gray walls, the intense colors should be introduced through the medium of the pictures, orna ments, cushions, etc. In applying flat wall finish it should be remembered that it should not be applied like ordinary paint. It is not to be brushed out thin, but all coats should be full, flowing coats. Applied in this manner it has wonderful covering properties and works easily under che brush. It must not be applied over damp sur faces or over ordinary gloss oil or glue size. Best results are obtained by using a wide, flat wall brush (five or five and one-half inches) with soft bristles. On all surfaces the finishing coat may be stippled if desired. Homes in better taste, more smart and colorful, are the special interest of women today, and it is reassuring to observe so much real advance ment being made.

Truly a record which like the scars will remain until the end of time. To the non-golfer there was probably an element of monotony attached to Bobby Jones' repeated successes, but to golfers, no matter how many times he had done the same thing before, each new feat was a more incredible achievement than the last. He has always been a creator of intense drama. Each tournament he won was an excit ing adventure story to the golfer. There were his three stirring play off duels for National Open titles with McFarlane, Farrell and Espi nosa, only the last of which he won; there was his thrilling streak of super golf in England in 1927 when he astonished staid Britons by scoring 14 under fours for 72 holes; there was his surprising defeac at the hands of Johnny Good man in the first round at Pebble Beach, Cal., in 1929, a reverse that knocked the bottom ouc of the tour nament ; there was the stroke he de liberately penalized himself at Wor cester in 1925, a penalty chat cost him the Open championship; and more wonderful, more awful than all else, there was his steadfast re fusal to crack under the terrific strain at Merion last year in trying to win the last trick necessary for his glorious Grand Slam. Jones has a sharp sense of climax; he proved that by withdrawing from the picture at the very crest of his golf wave. Anything more would necessarily have been in the nature of an anti-climax. Certainly no re tirement has ever been more richly merired. Incessant efforts towards improvement lifted Jones to golf's supreme throne. From an un schooled kid with an excitable tem per, Jones matured inco the deliber ate, dignified magician of the links, whose every stick is a wand. From a wild-swinging, long-hitting, but scarcely polished youngster, Jones ripened into golf's greatest stylist His every movement is a study in the poetry of motion. Until now when you see Jones on the screen drop 48 of 50 approach shots within a radius of six feet from the pin, you witness the quintessence of golf.
