BOOKCASES ADD BEAUTY TO MODERN HOME

Enclosed Type, Popular For Last Ten Years, Still to i Be Found, Though Giving Way Somewhat to Open Recessed Shelves. I GOOD ARRANGEMENT IS SEEN IN SMALL HOUSE Placing at Each End of Fireplace Less Usual With the Increasing Use of French Doors —Walls Sometimes Entirely Covered. By Molly Elliott Next in importance to the fireplace in adding to the beauty of the living room is the book case, or, it might beti ter be said, the bookcases. For in nearly every room, space is ! provided for two bookcases, although the shape and placing iof these is left to the archii tect *s or the owner’s preference. The enclosed bookcases on each | side of the fireplace have been ] popular for at least ten years, and [are at present giving way to the open, recessed book shelves, though some attractive examples of the j former still may be found in the ! bungalow t ype of house. They have the advantage of protecting th 6 I books from, dust and too frequent handling. Attractive Arrangement One ofthe most attractive arrange- ' ments of ; such enclosed bookcases I was seen in a small house in which i the woodwork was finished in ivory enamel and the fireplace was of red I brick. The ■ bookcases, finished with i leaded glass doors, were fitted Into the space at each- side of the firet place, and their tops were formed by i the extension. of the white-painted mantel. Open, bookcases are usually finished without any wood other than | that used for the shelves, and are j usually topped by arches in which twin vases of a color to harmonize with the room are placed. These recessed nooks may be in a variety of places. Sometimes ti are placed at each side of a wide ; archway leading from the living | room into the dining room, where ‘ they form a graceful balance for the center opening. Again they may be used at each side of a wide ; window at one end of the room, ! with a built-in seat beneath the winj dew serving as a link tc oonnect j them into a single group. The placI ing of these bookcases at each <side • of the fireplace is less usual with the increasing use of the French door, for the fireplace is usually loi cated between these doors, but a I bookcase may be used to balance a ‘door opening at the opposite side of the room with pleasing effect. May Filll Spaces In homes where there are many j books, wide wall spaces may be solidly filled with bool: shelves, the contents of which give life and color to the room. One such room had the eptire wall space, except that taken up ,by window and door openings and fireplace, filled with book shelves j separated by wide panels of ivory I tone that contrasted with the dark, j rich colors of the book bindings. Whatever the arrangement may be, it should place the books where they will be within easy reach of the one who wishes to enjoy them. WIFE IS GIVEN $1.25 Net Earnings of Husband Serving Prison Term. Well-Known Lumberman Dead to Be ! today received a check for $1.25 for Mrs. Prosperine Sterrett, 1219 N. i Illinois St., and her four children. 1 It represents the net earnings of her husband, Jesse E. Sterrett, for i the month of June at the Indiana State Prison, where he is serving a sentence for bigamy. The check came under provisions i of the last Legislature that, after i deducting the cost of keeping a ’ prisoner held on such charge, the l balance shall be sent his family.

New Semi-Modern Bunaglow Has Compactness of Arrangements

■ •: • - ; .....

Compactness of arrangement with the added attraction of light, sunny rooms are pleasing features in the new semi-modern bungalow that Floyed Petejsnan has built at 2159 Wallace St. The house has been painted a light, restful gray, with harmonious darker gray trim, and across the front is a wide porch that suggests itself as a cool and inviting spot on summer evenings. The glassed door from the porch opens directly into the living room, and two front windows in this room supplement the living room, and two front windows in this room supplement the light from the door. At the south side there are two windows placed at such a height that a piano or other large piece of furniture may have space below them. The north wall is broken by a door that opens into a northwest bedroom, while on the east a plastered archway leads into the dining room. Spaciousness Added This east wall is especially deserving of notice, for it has been constructed in such a way that both living and dining room are given added spaciousness. The tall archtopped doorway is at the center of the wall space, and on each side of

WISE PERSON WOULD STOCK COAL BIN NOW Strike and Higher Prices Loom, Local Dealer Declares. “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today” is a motto that should he over the door of every toal bin, for the procrastination of householders when it comes to putting in the winter’s coal supply leads to many shiverings, regrets and r'ncreased coal bills. And this year will he no exception, according to I’ny Macy, president of the People’s Coal and Cement Company. “The chief thing I can see now in the coal outlook is the inevitable anthracite strike Sept. 1,” Macy said. “That means that eastern shipments of coal, particularly Pocahontas, will go East and West Virginia coal will likewise travel eastward rather than toward Indiana. Certainly western shipments will he cut down, and the wise householder who hasn't already filled his coal bin will buy now for safety. “It can’t be said that he’s waiting for lower prices, either, for the present prices are ass low as they have been within the past eight or ten years,” Macy declared. “There is no possibility of lower prices this year and some coal has already begun to advance in price. “Additional advances for July 15 have already been quoted to us, and we are expecting Pocahantes to go up within the next two or three weeks. Indiana coal will probably remain at ita present price until fall, but that isn't a good reason for neg-

it there are smaller arched openings between the two rooms. These openings have sills at window height, upon which low bowls of flowers may be placed. ‘ Two Windows Two large windows on the south side of the dining room insure ample sunlight, while the east wall has been reserved for the buffet space. On the north there are two doors, one opening into a north bedroom, the other into the kitchen at the northeast corner of the house. Windows on both the north and the east make this latter room light and pleasant. A well-built garage at the back of the lot and cement walks and steps will be appreciated by the home buyer, while the housewife who does her own work will find that the arrangement of the house makes it easy to keep clean with a minimum of work. The house is open for inspection on Sundays or will be shown by appointment. Lumber and mill work furnished by Hubbard-Scearce Lumber Comby Hubbard-Scearce Lumber Cos.

lecting to buy now, for when the first chilly days comq it is mighty pleasant to have the coal bin full. “There is a possibility of delay in getting coal at that time, too, for during September and October the railroads are busy handling shipments of wheat and when coal shipments aro delayed it means a stiff market and an advance In prices.” And while September may seem a long way off, Macy declares that the katydids have already predicted frost in sixty days. The yards of Macy*s Company, 1109 E. Fifteenth St., are well stocked with hard and soft coal now. GOLD GAUZE FAVORED Tied Back Curtains of Dotted Grenadine for Colonial Cottage. Gold and ivory gauze for homes of the more formal type and ruffles and tied back curtains of dotted grenadine for the colonial cottage are the favored materials for glasscurtains today. Overdrapes, however, are always used with either type of curtains, the brocades and sunfast silks being used over gauze curtains, whille linen prints, chintz or cretonne is the appropriate material for use in the small home. FIRE LOSSES GREATER Damage In June Exceeds That F'or Same Month Last Year. Fire losses in Indianapolis during June exceeded by $19,768.25 the damages during the corresponding month last year, according to a report to the board of safety. Total loss this year was $61,967.25 and in 1925 it was only $42,199. Number of alarms were 252 this year while in 1924 the total was 118. In going to fires during .Tune, the department traveled 2,269.3 miles and 1,012 fire vehicles made runs.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DRIVE CAN BE MADECHEAPLY FROM CINDERS Material Is Long Wearing and Easily Drained — Has Other Uses.

No home today is considered com, plete without a garage, and every garage, to be of the utmost service to the owner, should have a front driveway leading from the street. For the alley, frequently, is unpaved, and unsafe for one coming in alone at night. The cost of a concrete, crushed stone pr gravel drive, however, is almost prohibitive for the owner of a small home, and adds greatly to the cost of any residence. Cinders Good Yet a driveway must be made of some long-wearing, easily drained material, and cinders such as are sold by Kenneth Smock, 1229 S. Dakota St., offer themselves as the ideal material. Their cost is extremely moderate, two loads of them, at $6.50 a load, being sufficient to pave the average driveway. These cinders are of uniform size and more than ordinary hardness, for they come from the plant of the Indiana Bleaching Company, where, after they are emptied out of the furnaces, water is turned on to clean and harden them. A driveway made of them and edged with boulders such as may be picked up along any country road is both durable and artistic, and adds to the appearance and the convenience of any home.

Useful as Flooring They are also useful to the home owner as flooring for a frame garage, for they drain at once and pack more solidly each year they are in use. As for walks, an attractive and economical one can be made with these cinders, for, unlike bricks, grass and weeds will not grow between closely packed cinders. For one who has built or is building anew home, the cinder driveway is worth thinking over.

TAUPE RUGS POPULAR Harmonizes WeAl With Every Kind of Furniture. The popularity of the taupe rug continues undiminished, for no other type of floor covering harmonizes so well with every kind of furniture. A rug of this color is in keeping with the best decorative ideas, which require the darkest color to be placed at the floor, the lighter tone on the walls and the lightest on the ceiling. More than that, the plain background provides a pleasing contrast to the brilliant draperies and odd chairs finished in needlepoint embroidery that are favored for the modern living room. DARKER PAPERS USED Popular for Bedroonja—Call for Draperies of Plain Color. Darker papers showing a more pronounced figure are coming into popularity for bedrooms, particularly in room where the walnut woodwork is used. These patterns call for drapperies of plain color, but in rooms where the paper design permits of cretonne or blocked linen overdrapes, one motif of the design is frequently repeated in color on the furniture with very attractive effect. Ivory furniture, however, is less and less frequently seen, the plain and decorated walnut suites seeming firmly established. BUGS TO BE COUNTED Department of Agriculture to Take Census.

KENTUCKY AVE. BRIDGE BEING PUT UP FAST Improvement Will Be Fine Christmas Present for City. Indianapolis is known throughout the country as the “City of Homes.” Probably in no other large city in the country is so much interest takeri in the educational value of home building and home beautification. And now, with such a civic improvement as the Kentucky Ave. bridge, under construction by MeadBalch Construction Company, 441 Postal Station Bldg., nearing completion, an added impetus will be given to home building. The bridge is 86 per cent complete, so that, already a noticeable Improvement In the unsightly surroundings of Kentucky Ave. at this point is observable. This bridge, when completed, will also be an important link between the downtown district and the southwest section of the city, and will expedite traffic between Indianapolis and the outlying district on the southwest. The new structure is 960 feet long and is supported by seven graceful arches. The roadway, measuring sixty feet, allows ample space for two street car tracks. This is rather pleasant to contemplate when one considers some of the narrow roadways in Indianaoplis and the resulting traffic tie-ups caused by such Inadequate construction. According to present plans, the bridge will be open for traffic Dec. 15 of this year, and Indianapolis may regard it as a very worth-while civic Christmas gift to the city.
