THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

Qommimikj tT Buildinq U. S. /mob* Guide Book on Owning Your Home A guide book designed for the prospective small-home owner was issued recently by the United States government, the Department of Commerce. Washington, announcing the publication of a handbook setting forth details which assert the steps necessary, to acquiring such property. This aid to home builders is a publication entitled, “How to Own Your Home.” Particular stress is placed by the handbook on the agreements which should be definitely entered into witli regard to financing, building and purchasing. The points which should be clearly defined are emphasized. While conceding that the great majority of individuals and companies with which the home seekers deal are honest and wish to do business honorably, the handbook Insists that “no good business man should object to having his obligations, as he understands them, set down in writing and in accordance with legal procedure.” As for the financing of home building. the handbook gives sound Information. “Borrowing money to buy a home Is no disgrace.” it declares. “On the contrary. it is normal and in many ways desirable. Many families in meeting: payments on a loan have learned the habit of saving, and have continued it as a step toward financial Independence.” It is desirable, the book points out, for a family about to buy a home to possess a minimum of 20 per cent of the value of the house in cash, even though arrangements are often made for a purchase w;ith a lesser amount. The advantage of a larger cash payment is found in the fact that it helps to insure a loan at a low rate of interest and one that can be paid off comfortably. In the selection of a home site, requirements are carefully discussed from the standpoint of family life, neighborhood, education, transportation to work and to shopping centers, low or high land values, protection offered to home by private restrictions, zoning, ordinances and city planning.

Unbroken Lawn Pleasing Don’t plant flower beds in the middle of a lawn. It makes the lawn appear •‘jumpy.” A broad, unbroken expanse of well-kept lawn is as beautiful in its way as the finest rug. Don’t forget that successful home gardening alms to tie the house and landscape. Think of your yard as an out-of-door room. A decorator does not begin by first providing something for the center of the room. He uses the walls, doors, windows and other architectural features as the basis for his scheme of decoration. Treat your yard as you would a room. Shrubbery and flowers, being considered om iments and not furniture, look best when they serve a* decoration against the house and along the boundary line. Shrubbery and vines about a house tie it to the ground and soften the edges. Windows should not be shaded. The blank and open spaces of the house are best spited for the planting of shrubbery and flowers. Planting next to a walk or property line should never Impede travel. Make the approach to your home easy and direct. Accent your walk with proper shrubs. Don’t forget that flowers pass quickly, whereas shrubs and hardy trees live on constantly. Garden Furniture Appropriateness of garden furniture requires attention. Elaborately modeled sun-dials and bird-baths, and furniture with delicate and refined lines would be at home only in a garden sophisticated and formal in design; while pottery and furniture in primitive patterns should be reserved for gardens modest and deliberately unpretentious in feeling. The placing of these things is of the utmost Importance. Some garden ornaments sen e as accents and others as climaxes. Sun-dials and bird-baths, and sometimes furniture, fall into the latter class and should accordingly be set at the ends of paths or open spaces where they will end a vista. * That Is not an unbreakable rule, however; for the intersection of two paths is very often the ideal location for a sun-dial or a bird-bath, or they may be nicely used to mark the center of an open space in the garden. Their.decorative value In the garden scheme must be sufficiently emphasized so that they will not seem an incidental and haphazard ornamental detail. A small bit of ornament, like a sun-dial or bird-bath, may seem rather ridiculous If It Is set in a large open space. It is absolutely necessary that ft should fit into the scale of its surroundings. I Plans Beauty Campaign The first campaign inaugurated by A. E- Van Petten. the newly-elected president of the Topeka chamber of commerce, who is totally blind, was one for the beautification of that dty. Each school child has been pre- ’ sented with a red tag bearing the pledge: ; “I won’t pick flowers or break off branches. | "I won’t cut across lawns because it kills the grass. "1 want Topeka to be more beautiful."

For the Winter Bouquet A plant of comparatively recent Introduction to gardens and which has been seized upon for greenhouse decoration and for cut flowers Is the annual statice or sea lavender. Under greenhouse cultivation It throws up Immense stems of its peculiarly branching clusters of cup-shaped lavender. rose, white and pale yellow flowers. The remarkable quality of this plant is that its flower clusters dry for winter bouquets remarkably well. They have been a feature of flower shows and cut-flower displays.

COAT STYLES FOR MIDWINTER; FORECAST OF SPRING STYLES

LADY FASHION has thown some very decided preferences tn the matter of coat styles for midwinter and these are the points that are Interesting to designers of spring garments. One o* these much-emphaaized features is the liking for fur accessories, especially the fur collar, and for fur introduced tn trimming touches. There is no doubt of the survival of ’ the fur collar in spring styles, and i even for summer there is every reason to believe that “summer furs” will play a conspicuous part in coat styles. Meantime certain features revealed in the two coats pictured here have met with ever-increasing approval. The braiding on the coat at the left‘is an example. The coat is made of a

Here also ties of the coat material make assurance doubly sure. The beaver collar and cuffs are in tfeepin- with the richness of the braidogvered fabric, in a soft brown shade. More recent designing appears in the coat shown at the right—also a pile fabric garment, in dark gray. It has a collar of gray fox fur and band-

togs of this fur on the cuffs and a portion of the skirt. It is to be noted that the sleeves are somewhat small, but the odd new cuffs, ample ana furlrimmed, lend them much style value. The skirt portion of the coat is shorter than to early winter models but it retains thq side-tie fastening and emphasizes the graceful wrap-around style by a cascaded drapery finished with fur banding.

For New Kid Gloves. It very frequently happens that new kid gloves split the first time they are tried on. This can be prevented by placing them between the folds df a damp towel for an hour or so before they are worn. The moisture allows the kid to stretch so that the gloves will gV J to the required shape without splitting. ————— For the Colonial Home.

ion takes care of this between-seasonff period with clothes that proclaim spring but remember that it is not quite here. Millinery pipes the first note of welcome to the new season, and women are already wearing hats of taffeta, crepe and fabrics peculiar to millinery. Cheerful colors divide attention with black in these hats, but lustrous surfaces and bright ornaments give them all animation. A pretty cloth cape and a buoyant silk hat that goes well with It are among fashion’s contributions to junior styles for between seasons. They are the outward and visible signs that

the young miss pictured bears a summer mind —and thinks no more of winter. This is borne out by her gingham dress and her footwear. The cape 11 a substantial affair of a plain coating, brightened by bands of colorful trimming which extend part way down the front and back at each side. In front these bands terminate in silk ornaments —clusters of small bails, covered with taffeta silk. The banding is carefully pimped on the collar, so as to fall in line with that on the cape, and round buttons are used for fastening. Slashes at each side, finished with bindings, allow the arms to be thrust through them. There are some spring coats for juniors in attractive plaids and crossbars. much like those for their elders, and the sweater and sweater coats are always to be reckoned with when be-tween-season clothes are considered.

A good luncheon menu is hot cheese sandwiches, a simple lettuce salad, or a dish of radishes and green onions, baking powder biscuit with a little canned fruit and a few cookies for dessert.
