A chance to make ·smart French felt hats or to become an actor before a real audi__ence playing parts from the best plays today-a chance to build a better job through learning better English, or to understand the various periods of art through Art Appreciation courses-a chance to - make delicious new dishes and eat them in the supper club, or to review the stories of the opera with musical leaders-a chance to splash in a swimming tank and clog t,o snappy tunes, or to learn n1ore about the mystery of our minds in a Psychology course-these are just a few of the fifty different classes open to each girl in Chicago and suburbs at her nearest Y. W. C. A. This f~ll many new courses chosen and planned by the girls themselves are being offered in the Studio at the Central Branch, 59 E. Monroe street. The Studio is entering its second year with 150 girls as the student faculty advisors choositig the courses they think other girls want to take and helping plan for the most expert instructors. Advertising, taught by one of the most successful women copy writers in Chicago; current books, led by a man well known in the field of literature; languages, taught by those who have studied in foreign countries; a Little Theatr~ where plays are produced under professional direction: group piano, where girls may actually learn to ~lay without practicing on a real piano-these are among the new fall specialities. More frivolous groups are open to employed girls such as ukelele, bridge, vacation jaunts, charm, and "know your city trips." Vogue of Plain Carpets Dying, ~tates Jorjorian "Plain carpeting which· has been so much in vogue for the past six or seven years is dying out for three distinct reasons," says S. K. J orjorian, manager of Lord's Rug department, on his return from an Eastern buying trip. "Plain floor covering had been suggested by interior decorators to provide a simpler background for more elaborate coloring and design in hangings and furniture in artistic homes. But because of monotony of plain coloring and the visibility of wear in certain spots, they began to cover suc.h places with Oriental · scatter rugs which added a great deal to the character and beauty of the room owing to their mystic charm. "Then, the second cause for dissatisfaction came when carpets were tacked on the floor from wall to wall. Many people were troubled with moths due to the fact that dust settled under the baseboard where the carpets were tacked and they were unable to clean with the vacuum cleaner. "The third and most important cause of this change, came when carpet manufacturers so popularized this plain floor covering idea and made so many inferior grades of carpetir.g that they became common and lost their individuality and charm." Mr. jorjorian's investigation of the trend of the type of Oriental rugs used in different parts of America, while in the east is summarized in this statement: "In New Englarid and the eastern states the demand is seventy-five percent for antiques or semi-antiques and twenty-five percent for modern Orientals. In the middle west it is seventyfive percent for modern Orientals and Chinese rugs and twenty-five percent for antiques or semi-antiques (this last percentage is steadily increasing.) In California and the west the demand is fifty percent for Chinese rugs, forty percent for modern Orientals, and ten percent for antique rugs. "The American people want beauty, charm and service in their floor covering and after trying many <Jifferent kinds nothing has excelled the Oriental rug." The Colonial drummer which will be an outstanding figure on the base. of the D. A. R. war memorial is in the flesh none other than Standiford ·Helm, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Helm. He is shown here posing for Stephen Beames, sculptor of the monum,ent, which is to be erected this winter in Bell park, on the lake front at Evanston.
