HOME CAN BE FURNISHED ATTRACTIVELY AT LOW COST
Good Taste Important in Selection BY JI'LIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. Aug. 6 —Charm and distinction in a home are by no means just a cold cash proposition. With inexpensive furniture and furnishings as comfortable and lovely as they are today, given good taste and a little time, anyone with a moderate salary can evolve an attractive place worthy of the name “Home." The smaller the furniture budget, the more scrupulous must be the care taken to get exactly what is wanted and needed—the perfect kin. of chair, table, and so on, the rig i color and the right price. good plan is to start with a skeleton equipment and then fill in, taking advantage of furniture sales. A current exhibition at the Art Center proves that you really can have a pretty home, though not earning a whale of a salary. The couple living on S3O to SSO a week has a chance to enjoy a background of distinguished beauty. Strive for Simplicity Keep things simple, have a minimum of pieces, and stick to your color scheme; these seem to be the first principles. Remember, a small place looks much larger and more dignified if not cluttered up. Pick a color scheme that can be matched up in inexpensive accessories. because some tones are million dollar hues and are a mistake for the average home. An excellent color scheme combines a most livable green with tawny yellow and some burnt reds suggestive of maple leaves in autumn. Walls can be that pretty, sunny buff against which both furniture and pictures look well and which makes a room seem cheerful whether you happen to feel that way or not. For your living room you may like the following list of equipment, all of the wood pieces being maple reproductions of early American: First, a single daybed couch, with green cover made with pleated flounce, with a maple coffee table in front of it.
Get Two Wing Chairs Next, two wing chairs, one with maple arms and legs, with the seat and back of gay calico in the room’s color* the other upholstered In a giazea floral chintz, in bolder pattern. with a flounced skirt about its maple legs. With these, a drop leaf table that can be used for library purposes to hold books, a- vase of flowers and magazines by day and be opened up for a formal meal at dinner time. Two low butterfly tables serve as accessories to comfort near the chairs. The curtains may be a glazed chintz in yellow and green with a toile design in red and they may be made long and rather dignified to heighten the formality of the room. A couple of prints, framed in green, a reading lamp that is a reproduction of an early American lamp and a two-toned rug in green, and your room is tremendously pleasing and delightfully livable. Low Rocker Handy You can add a couple of goor straight chairs, or Windsors, as you see fit and the budget corroborates your decision. And you may add a low rocker without arms, for rockers are coming in again and there is no denying the relaxation of a comfortable rock. To keep up the color scheme, you can have your bedroom papered in a dainty figured design against a light green, with small hooked rugs on the floor and a four-poster bed, chest of drawers, bedside table and easy arm chair all of maple. The chair may have cretonne back and seat patterned like the wallpaper or plain green or yellow. And your kitchen can be a gay yellow. with pots and pans in cream with bright green rims. Unity Has Practical Side If you do make your entire home a unit, you can move your chairs from one room to the other, when you have company, for instance. Also, there is a sense of unity and peace about a home that is consistent in its general color scheme. But do not duplicate the scheme, exactly, in any two rooms. For nothing is dealier than monotony which comes from lack of variety. Reunion to Be Held Former residents of Bartholomew county will hold a reunion Sunday •t Garfield park.

Your Child— Thermometers Necessary in Home Where There Is Baby
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON ! Thermometers are not expensive and are a necessity in every house ! where there are children. If there is a baby in the family, there really should be four of these useful things, a wall thermometer, a clinical thermometer for taking temperatures, one for the bath that can be submerged in water and won't break with the heat, and another ordinary one to keep in the refrigerator with the bottles. The wall thermometer is needed for both the bedroom of a baby and to regulate the temperature of the room where he has his bath. In summer ther~ is not so much chance that the temperature of the house will go below the degree of warmth that is safe for him, but in country districts and during our periodical cold snaps, and again during those chilly evenings that we must anticipate within tthe next few

i weeks, there'is need for precaution. A young baby, warm all day, and ; too suddenly cooled at night, may develop intestinal upsets. The daytime temperature of the room for a new baby or a delicate one should be as near 70 degrees as possible. Night should not fall more than 15 degrees lower, the baby being dressed for the change. In summer, the daytime temperature can not be regulated, except that on very hot days the baby should be kept in a cool room or on a coool, shaded porch. It is the night temperature that we should watch. Older babies and stronger ones can stand a greater night drop. It depends upon their age and condition. Always, of course, they should be appropriately clothed for the difference. A wall thermometer should hang about three feet from the floor in the baby’s bedroom. On hot days an electric fan that does not blow on the baby, but that keeps the air circulating in the room, is permissible. The revolving fan is best. It should be above him and not near him. Thermometer Is Necessity The bath thermometer should be immersed in the water before we trust the baby to it. It should register body heat, or about 98 degrees, if he is not to chill. The elbow test that we used to use is still good. If the water feels neither hot nor cold to the mothers’ elbow, it is considered about right for the baby. As he gets older he can stand a cooler bath, but this should be started gradually and begins with rinsing in water of slightly lower temperature. The air of the bathroom should register 75 degrees. Now we hear so many people warning us not to have clinical thermometers in the house. "If you have one you’ll always be taking temperatures and thinking your children sick,’’ the protest. Perhaps that is true sometimes, but any necessity may be misused in the hands of a nervous person. Many new babies have a higher temperature than normal for a while and it need not worry the mother. Moreover, it may vary on different days, but if the temperature goes over 100 degrees in such a baby the doctor should be told. Some babies often are ill with a lower temperature than that. Get 'Jlinical Thermometer I believe a clinical thermometer is one of the first things I should buy. One with a thick bulk is best for baby use. The doctor will show you how to take the temperature of the baby and the 6ther children. Refrigerator thermometers are convenient, for not all refrigerators are cool at all times. The bottles should be placed where they can be coolest, not frozen, but be tween 32 and 50 degrees. Never over 50 degrees.

Four Types of Hats Are Good Style BY FRANCES PAGET NEW YORK. Aug. 6.—Four types of hats are favored with the tailored costume now being worn, according to reports from Paris. They are the small hats, the turban, the beret in all its versions, and the Tiny bonnets introduced by Agnes. Fancy trimmings are much indulged in on small hats, decorations revolving around loops of ribbon, bows, bunches of flowers, and unusual feather metifs. These hats are seen mainly in shiny artificial straws. For berets and turbans, visca types are more favored, particularly when combined with wool and hand-crocheted materials, which appear to have taken the place of jerseys. While velvet by no means put in a strong appearance, still the amount used for trimmings and small hats indicates that this fabric will hold a high place for fall and winter. Medium size hats also are conspicuous. Usually they are simple in form and follow either the circle form as developed by Reboux, or the type with the brim rolled well off the face and slightly rolled at the back also. Invariably with this type a jeweled pin, tiny feather ornament, or simple grossgrain ribbon trim is used. For this type of hat, chanvre is popular, as well as panamalaque, and fabric straws, such as shan. tung. Ballibuntls and bakous seem to have been replaced by racello.

Woman Has Intuition; No Real Mind BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A poor puzzled man in Ohio writes his favorite newspaper to make this pertinent query: “Why do women think with their emotions and not with their minds?” I thought all men knew the answer to this. The reason women think with their emotions is because they haven’t any minds to use. That, at least, is what we have gathered during our years of listening to what men have to say upon this subject. Man Knows it All God created the unfortunate female as an adjunct to her mate, a lesser power in his universe. She was intended to serve and minister unto the male and to rear his sons. Her functions being merely physical, it was not necessary that she should be endowed with any mental equipment, because this was furnished in sufficient quantities by her lord and master. Later, after long centuries of contact with the magnificent male mind, and all its wonderful ramifications, she acquired a modicum of intelligence. This was called intuition. By and by the thing grew into a pretty legend. Every time a woman evidenced an aproach to intelligent reasoning, she was hailed immediately as the possessor of extraordinary intuitive faculties. It's Sob to Male Intuition, you understand, is something that it is not possible to acquire by study or any exercise of the brain. It is a quality that kindly nature generously bestows in lieu of logic and good sense. The average man, who wishes to ask his wife’s opinion about a matter, or who has learned to rely upon her judgment, is in the habit of saying that he depends upon her feminine intuition. This is a clever way of permitting her to exhibit some mental powers without taking from him his feeling of complete and overwhelming superiority.

PARIS, Aug. 6. CLOTHES do not make the woman—entirely. But, oh golly, how they help! Every w'oman knows the HAPPINESS derived from being well dressed, the little feeling of assurance and gaiety or graciousness, as the case may be, that comes with the wearing of the perfect ensemble. And why so many women are carelss in their selection of clothes continues to be a mystery! Sometimes it is a subconscious indication of a deep-rooted fear that they do not know how to dress themselves properly, and sometimes it is mental laziness. No matter upon what it is based, the woman who dresses carelessly is the real loser. You and I do not like to look at her, true. We resent her or ridicule her, according to our mentality; but when she is removed from our line of vision she no longer hurts us acutely by her carelessness. But she does hurt HERSELF. There is no argument whatsoever in favor of such carelessness. No matter how talented, how clever, how brilliant you may be, you are not as much so as you could be if you appreciated yourself to the ex-

Trust Vety Necessary in Wedlock BY MARTHA LEE Trust is a heaven-sent gift that is not to be treated lightly. It i* the basis of friendship, love and marriage. It is the staff that assists human beings over the rough hazards that are part of every-day life. Once doubt is introduced, trust is not easily won back. It can’t be, because it is a spontaneous thing And spontaneous things are killed most easily. Subjecting trust to a test, playing with it for a mere whim and prssing fancy is a foolish thing to do. Nothing can take its place. There is no substitute for it. And once it is shattered, something beautiful is gone from frendship, love or marriage. Men whose wives trust them completely. whose hearts never doubt that their husbands love them complely, often are disillusioned for the rest of their lives by foolish, indiscreet acts on the parts of their husbands. Not So Hard to Take Doubting wives do not feel the blow so severely, when they discover their husbands have eyes for the young and pretty stenographers in the office. They simply shrug and raise a pair of well plucked eyebrows when their husbands pick out a cute, unattached young thing at a party and spend the evening in earnest conversation with her. But the wives who believe themselves loved as they love, take an awful fall when they find their husbands do not respond to them alone. It’s a pitiable thing, when something as splendid as faith and trust is lost for an evening’s amusement. The same thing holds true between sweethearts and friends. The finest thing in their relationships is their mutual faith and trust in each other. Once that is violated, something happens. The fineness is gone. Something to Cherish No man would ask a girl to marry him whom he did not trust. That unspoken understanding that she is a person to be relied upon, whose integrity is unquestioned is something to be cherished aoove all else. Once the seed of doubt is sowed, there can not be the same feeling. Dear Martha Lee—l am engaged to a fine young man. I have none with him two vears and I stepped out on him tor about a year and then lied to him about having dei.es. Later he found out I had lied. The result has been disastrous. He doubts me. although he always has found me to be entirely respectable. -The fact that X have lied to him makes him doubt me about everything now. He always has been completely truthful to me. I have asked him not to auestion me further about these other dates, since he feels I am lying anyway and that time will tell the truth. I have asked hinj not to come back until he is ready to believe me. I love him so much that life would be nothing without him. but what can I do to win him back on the old basis? I can not bear to think of him mistrusting me this way. FRECKLES. Your life with him under the conditions which now exist would be impossible. The process of building up the faith in you he has lost, is a long, hard one. You simly are going to have to sacrifice everything to bring back a situation that was entirely spontaneous to begin with, but which now must be built up by artificial care and attention. If you really love the boy, you will not mind. If you don’t love him you will get tired and give up. And that, too, will be just as well, that you find out your true feelings in the matter.
