"Anyone would think you were going to buy tho draperies for the Dream House yourself," laughed Joan. "So I am." retorted Marcla. "Of course you'll help nie select them, but I mean as if they were to be for you." returned Joan. "Let's pick something sturtllng for the living- room." suggested Marcla.

"If Jack Is goiiiR: to surprise us with regard to wallpaper and drapery for that front bedroom. It's tip to us to give him a run for his money." "The trouble is I'd have to live with the something startling every day and more hours of the day than he would, and if I didn't like it very well In the first place, it would get worse and worse all the time. No. that won't do at all," Joan finished, "I'll just get what 1 really like and not worry about that front bedroom scheme a bit." Marcla grinned. "I know Just how you won't worry," she observed.

"But anyhow let's get busy on this drapery proposition and see what can be done." "I'm going to get something with lots of color It anyway," remarked Joan. "There's got to be gohs of color interestingly worked out. I don't want a drab-looklng house Inside." "Going to the Harris' store for your drapes, of course?" said Marcla matter-of-f-ictly as she headed her car toward town. "That's understood," answered Joan. "They have the finest variety of stocks Imaginable and anything you might want for a cottage to a mansion." "You'll want to choose your shades first, won't you?" asked Marcla, as they entered the drapery department of the Harris' store.

"What color are you thinking of getting: the ordinary cream or something more on the color of the outside of your house?"

BY EDWIN ALGER DILI BRIEFLY Move by Attorney Thought to Be Play for Appointment of Public Defender JUDGE LAUGHS AT FARCE Osdick Shooting Case Will Go to Jury Today; Defense Calls Witnesses The mystery that clouded the calling of four supervisors as defense witnesses In the Louis Grant manslaughter trial In Superior Judge Charles Allison's court cleared yesterday. The supervisors were asked questions of slight.

If any, Importance to the Issues and their being subpoenaed was interpreted as an act by Attorney Walter E. Byrne to emphasize the need of a public defender to represent tile financially destitute defendants In criminal cases. Lawyers Want Public Defender Under subpoena, the supervisors were required to remain throughout the day within hearing distance of the courtroom, thus forced to devote their time to the case, as was the attorney without compensation. In eases where the defendants are unable to retain an attorney, the court appoints a lawyer to serve as defonse counsel without pay. there being no public defender In Ihis county.

The San Bernardino county bar association and individual attorneys have frequently re-ouesled the appointment of a defender, as the law provides may be done, but the supervisors have failed to act. In the ease yesterday, the four supervisors were called to tho witness stand and asked a number of questions as to the location of the boundary line between Kern and San Bernardino counties at Osdick. Attorney Byrne also asked If the supervisors knew the reputation of Constable J. S. Mahood.

Cheney, of Colton, was unable to answer If the Ja.1l at Osdick was In San Ber-dlno or Kern county and also as to the reputation of Mr.

Mahood, explaining that he did not know the officer. Deputy Plstrlct Attorney Stanley Mussel! asked that the "testimony of the witness be stricken out of the record as Irrelevant." Judge Allison laughed and replied that "the witness hasn't given any testimony." Only Lawyer Doesn't Smile Mr. Byrne kept a straight face. Supervisors A. f.

Viola Relphs Comstock, 17 years old, and Mary Cooley, 15, were sent to the county jail and detention home, respectively, for 10 days yesterday by Justice Jerome Kavanaugh when they refused to testify in a case in which Joseph Swift Is charged with criminally attacking the Comstock girl. is. Comstock, a bride of a few-months, but who has been in the custody of juvenile authorities since Swift's arrest, was first called to testify at Swift's preliminary hearing. With a defiant air she admitted in answer to questions by Chief Deputy District Attorney M. O.

Hert that she knew Swift and saw him on Sept. 5, the day on which the asserted attack occurred. Girl Silent as Attorney Quizzes "Where did you see Swift on Sept. 5," asked the prosecutor. The girl was silent.

Justice Kavanaugh explained that witnesses were required to answer the questions of the attorneys, but Mrs. Comstock still refused to talk. Warned that she would be held In contempt of court and sent to Jail if she did not answer the question, Mrs. Comsloek replied, with an indifferent smile, that she "refused to answer." Second Girl Also Defiant Miss Cooley was then called. She.

too, admitted that she knew Swift, but became belligerent when asked where she saw Swift on Sept. 5. "If you refuse to answer," warned Justice Ka van. mgh, "I shall be forced to send you to Jail for con-lempt of court." One Girl Goes To Jail Cell The girl shrugged her shoulders, and despite the request of the court that she testify, persistently refused. The Cooley girl, because she Is not lfi years old, was back to the detention home for 10 days' confinement, but Mrs.

Comstock was locked In tho matron's department of the county Jail. The refusal of the girls to testify brought an Indefinite postponement of Swift's preliminary hearing. At torney D. W. Richards represented Swift, who was arrested nearly two months ago when he walked Into the county jail to visit a friend who was held as a prisoner.

HATS THE Best thing yje can say Iabout him "I.Ike the outside of the housi I think, but I'll wait until I see them first," Joan grinned. "I thought of course you'd choose them without seeing them," returned Marcla. Ironically.

"I want something In a sort of gray tone for the shades for our Dream House." began Joan to Arthur H. Obst. head of the shade department. "Here's the very thing for you," remarked Mr. Obst, "and the very latest In shades." "What do you call that?" asked Marcla.

"That's called the Balboa twi-tone. and ihe color to go with the outside of your house would be in Pluza gray. You should have the Inside of the shade in white. I'd advise you to have the entire house In these colors, with the shades in the front of the house trimmed a bit and the others plain." "What would you advise for the trimming?" asked Joan. "Here's a shade I designed and made with just such a house as your Dream House In mind," answered Mr.

Obst. "How do you like this? You see. It has the scalloped edge and Is finished with white silk bullion fringe and tassels." "It's lovely. Isn't It?" Joan asked of Marcla. "That white touch at the edge gives tt just the distinctive finish tt needs to give contrust to the shade on the outside of the house." "I like the effect awfully well," replied Marcla.

"So much better than the ordinary cream or green shades most people use." "Well, we ive to continue our reputation for having things different In the Dream House, you know." bald Joan. "That's half the beauty of it." "You'll want these trimmed shades in the front bedroom, living-room and uunroom. won't you?" asked Mr. Obst. "With the resi of the shades of tne plain twl-tone?" "I think so," replied Joan.

"That seems to me to be the most satisfactory. Tf you'll go out to our Dream House at Marshall (Continued on Tage Nineteen) Rouse, Mack to Speak At Urbita Meeting Councilman A. Rouse and Secretary R.
