AVOID SLEEPING PORCHES, WARNING GIVEN BY BUILDER

Fi replaces Often Only Smoky Traps Families destined to sleeping on sleeping porches; those who believed that wide porches would be the estate of comfort; those who build fireplaces because they are so homey, and those who think that many gabled roofs look lovely, have disappointments in store. Claude H. Miller says, in the American Maga-, zine. Miller built twenty-one houses and still sees mistakes, he declares. Miller proposes eight rules for home builders and bewails his costly mistakes. He started his home-build-ing career as an advertising man on a moderate salary. “Sleeping porches,” says Miller, “a; e the cold baths in the morning.” They are wonderful in the summer, but in the winter they aren't so hot “Fireplaces, he adds, “too olten are built by masons who go by the rul': of by guess and by gosh. Ch.mneys that set fire to roofs, overhead water tanks and creaky foundations are other things the persistent homeseeker has found that caused him to move more frequently than if he had not paid his rent. Avoid Long Verandas Miller recommends, that bungalow builders avoid long front verandas. One never occupies more than a tenth of them and they doom any possibility of sunlight getting into the house. Moreover, there is no privacy for any room opening upon them. The author condemns the attic water tank, which, he says, hangs like the sword of Damocles ever above the ceiling. Stay away from remodeling old houses, because of possible flaws in frames, foundations, and inability of laymen to visualize a completely renewed structure. Amateur builders usually forget to have their properties surveyed or the titles guaranteed. Miller had-plenty of this, he declares. Watch That Fireplace The wife’s desire for a fireplace is not one to be fulfilled by the nearest stone layer. “Building a fireplace,” says Miller, “is like the old lady who hoped she'd have good luck with her bread.” Fireplaces, he adds, need more care than the early settlers of Plymouth gave them, when half of the houses burned down because they didn’t know about chimneys. Don’t go too strong on sleeping porches. They might be all right for the man who likes a cold bath in the morning, but they’re different for a man whose hair is thinning on top. Casement windows. Certain types of houses need them, but, says the author, “just to have them is a good deal like the man who wears tan shoes with his dinner clothes. Watch the foundations. Even on the side of a hill there may be drainage that will course through the cellar or basement. Modern waterproofing will avoid this. It may sink and a mere half inch will destroy the poise of the building. Make the foundations big, Miller recommends after grievous experiences. Get the Kitchen Right “The modern house builder is blessed with improvements never dreamed of twenty years ago,” Miller continues. “The bureau of standards in Washington will guide you in the choice of materials. Write a few postcards and you will get reliable advice from firms making every Item needed in building a House “Above all. watch the construction of your kitchen. Contrary to former days, the kitchen is not a place to get your meals, but a place to entertain your friends, eat jour own meals and to point, to with pride, instead of viewing with alarm.”

Your Child .... Too Many Toys Are Handicap Rather Than Help to Child

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The psychology of the toy is interesting, beginning with the baby’s first rattle and rubber doll. Perception and co-ordination of mind and muscle are developed by just such simple things at first. Even the little wagons and carts he hauls around later have a decided place in his growth, both mentally

Collars on Fur Coats Narrower BY FRANCES PAGET 'Copyright. 1930. by Style Sources) NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—The time has come when the subject of a fur ♦oat has something of a personal interest. Before shopping about, it is wise to have a rather specific knowledge of what’s what in fur coats. Collars have a way of changing from season to season and in this matter of collars a tendency is noted toward narrower and thin effects where flat fur is utilized.,. Even in long-haired pelts upstanding lines rather than wide effects are given preference. While such narrow types indicate a high trend, huge collars are not to be-i neglected, since these represent the volume choice. In furs, it is interesting to note that in addition to the traditional favor for silver and blue foxes as formal daytime pelts, eastern mink, another natural fur, is playing a companionate role witn these fur aristocrats. Red and cross foxes uphold their prestige in the colorful furs, while white ermine again is used to increase the effectiveness of a black cloth afternoon ensemble or coat. Moire caracul, Persian lamb ; black lynx are other representative furs, and broadtail fabric is not to be omitted in any list of trimmings. Lengths in coats are usually as long as afternoon frocks, the fall standard generally adopted at twelve inches from the floor. Afternoon ensembles vary from the short, flaring fur-pepjum jacket velvet suit to jacket lengths, fingertip front and dipping at back, or even knee length at front and dipping to the skirt hem at back. Whatever its length, the ensemble jacket is most correct when it curves upward, wraps over in diagonal closings and dips at back. Coats, too, should wrap generously and a slight dip at back is recommened, although in the front the wrapover achieves the effect of an upward lie rather than actually being so cut.

and physically, although we may not notice it. His blocks, drum and toy animals are all daing the same thing, the j latter on the emotional side particularly. Fcr to him they are real. When toys are of the type that give him a chance to experiment,j practice, and think, something he can put himself into, we have “in- j terest.” We must learn the difference between real interest and just surface interest or excitement, j Developing a Habit Excitement lies in novelty. It never lasts. That is why the child who is given new toys constantly day after day keeps up his demand. Excitement has supplemented interest. It seldom takes time to go into things and examine them. It is an easy habit to fall'into and we con- I spire to aid it. This is due partly to oversupply, but also to lack of knowledge on our part concerning suitable playth .a. The --al toy provides activity of one form or another. It should give the child a chance to develop his own mind and his body—not something to look at, but to do. we do not see many meaningless toys nowadays, I am glad to say. A glance at the shops-will tell us that. But often a child does tire of even the best type of toy. Furthermore, he may do so in a short time, A Need to Be Met Perhaps this is because he has outgrown the Blocks or painting book or modeling clay—graduated, so to speaS. He has worked out his ideas of form and proportion as far as those things will takgrhim. Or he needs outlets in other directions. His other mental faculties are clamoring for attention—a puzzle to work, something to remember. His brain may be sending out calls for something to develop its wiring system to certain muscles for instance. Roller skates, an express wagon, hammer and nails, a ball. This is an honest need, and ws should meet it as nearly as we can. If a child has a variety of the right kind of toj's, suitable to his age and needs, even home-made ones, or simple inexpensive ones, h* won’t be demanding new ones every day, unless we ourselves have conditioned him to live on temporary excitement, which is bad if it becomes chronic, and a desperate thing to control then, for later on it leaves the toy world and extends itself to bigger things.
