c ™riLj fT Buildma Say* Goo</ Home-Making Involves the High Arts Chicago, in keeping with the rest of the United States, is turning its attention to the national movement for better homes. Various women's-clubs and other social agencies, in programs and other forms of service, are teaching the lessons of “better homes, better • citizens.” Attractive homes that add to the i comfort of adults and provide interest- j Ing surroundings for adolescent and juvenile members of the household art fundamental requisites for happy families, according to the originators of the movement. Hendrik Van Loon in his history of mankind, after reviewing all the phases of statecraft, industry and religion that have influenced the making of our race and civilization what it is today, and after recording the influence of various leaders in military, scientific : and literary achievements, says Rembrandt, Beethoven and Rodin are the prophets and leaders of the race. “A world without art and happiness is like a nursery without laughter.” In other words, art In Its various forms has been the liberator of the race. No civilization can exist without art. But of all the various phases of art, that of the small house and its contents and surroundings is most difficult to achieve, yetmost vital to a happy life and a satisfactory community or nation. A beautiful home has the power to attract attention, improve conduct, compel respect, bind families and friends together, form communities, found states and create nations. Men I and women reared in and among beauI tiful homes acquire good taste from them and seldom if ever do a very ugly thing. Good home-making involves all the high arts and produces the most happiness for us all. The small homes are Just as important or more Important than large homes from a moral, economic and patriotic point of view. The building of homes is a matter of most vital conI cern to the welfare of a nation. Homeless citizens and families, whether rich or poor, are not potentially the best citizens. I A citizen with a rent receipt and a foreigner with a passport have similar uninterested and irresponsible mental attitudes toward the community, town or state. Cost of Home The value of the house and lot purchased for a home# by the typical American family lies between one and r two-thirds and two and a half times the family's annual income at the time of purchase, realtors throughout the National Association of Real Estate Boards and their clients, the army of home buyers nationally, will learn with equal Interest. The kind of home any given family expects to own will ■ be found to have a value Just about double the amount of the family’s income for a year. Statement of what Investigation finds to be ti|B prevailing ! proportion of home purchase price to annual family income for the United . states is given by the division of build\ing and housing of the United States Department of Commerce in a recent pamphlet entitled “How to Own Your i Home.” in the compilation of which the National Association of Real Estate Boards assisted. “If a certain family pays a sixth of its income for rent, it may be able to j devote one-fourth or more to buying and maintaining a house, for the amount thus used may include both rent' and savings.” the government housing authorities advise the wouldbe home buyer. “Rent or payments on a home may require anywhere from one-eighth to one-third of the family income, depending on the spei cial circumstances in each case.” My Little Town i My IJttle Town in summer Dona a soft, leaf-shadowed air. And every street grows blossom-sweet, And every garden fair. And all the little bouses. ' Their windows open wide, j Are talking to their neighbors Os the loveliness outside. My Little Town, in winter * ~ Wears a plain, unbending mien. ’ And gaunt and bare its houses start. With drifted lawns between. j But when the winter evenings In cold gray settle down. And home-bound feet in every street Pass through My IJttle Town. Then from each lighted window The little homes begin To whisper to their neighbors Os the warmth and joy within. —Eieahore Myer* Jewett, in St. Nicholas Magaxine. Make City Attractive How long before it will be realized that acres of rubbish, miles of ugliness. Junk heaps, dilapidated huildj Ings are not only eyesores but a constant menace to property values? Why I is carefully restricted property always I high-class property, sure of a ready • market at substantial prices?» Why then restrict only in spots? Why not restrict the whole city, not for residence purposes or a particular . I kind of business, but for all purposes j as the development of the city makes j desirable? .. y Volunteers Clear Site Community spirit was exhibited in Teaneck township. New Jersey, when 100 persons, including members of the local American Legion post and boy scouts, assembled in the wooded section on West View avenue and chopped down trees and brash on the site of the new high school and what te later to be the Atlantic field. The volunteers industriously wielded axes on trees six and eight feet in circumference. Miss Elsie Schuman, dressed minor injuries of a dozen men.

Overblouse Securely Enthroned; Simple Frocks for Schoolgirls

THE feast of a thousand welcomes awaits the prodigal tailored suit, now hastening toward us. It was never entirely banished, but, finding itself crowded by the tailored frock, coat frocks, or even less clean-cut dresses, worn on the street, it slipped Into the background of fashion. A little absence of the mannish—or boyish—tailored suit, will go a long way with American women, especially our young women, who are somewhat boyish themselves and by the side of the tailored suit, enters also into the limelight the tailored blouse. ‘ Apparently the overblouse is enthroned in the mode and has no notion

of abdicating for some time to come. New tailored blouses are made of many sorts of materials, among them plain and printed silks, silk broadcloth, flannel, crepe de chine, many other crepes and voile. Both long and short sleeves are countenanced, but fashion maintains that long or short, they must be cuffed. While there is variety in necklines, the round turndown collar and the rolledback collar find therfselves most pop-

It is a slipover pattern opening at the left side with a slash that extends to the bustline.

New Sash Bow. Among the new interpretations of the ever versatile sash bow on evening and afternoon dresses Is one of ribbon and lace entwined. A lovely example of it is of two-inch fuchsia grosgrain ribbon, knotted and swinging against a delicate five-inch Brussels panel of creamy white. For Powder and Puff. A large box of blue silk and gold lace bblds d glass powder box and puff, and set in the inside of the

ion of the blouse to be worn with the mannish two-piece suit. It is amazing that so much originality appears in school frocks which, good taste demands, must first of all be simple. For school girls, little and big, designers achieve thlz required simplicity, but they follow other dictates of the mode as well, introducing style points that distinguish the new season. For girls in the last half of their teens the scarf, the cape, neck lines, sleeves or the placing of a single ornament —all bespeak current styles. For younger girls there is designing more independent, and even more naively

simple. For the older girls there 1» a wide choice of fabrics. Manj crepes, twills, flannels, Jersey and nov> elty weaves in wool provide for their utility dresses, and silk crepes (alwayt Including crepe de chine), taffetas, satin crepe and voile contribute me> diums for their dressy frocks. Two good-looking dresses for girlr from eight to fourteen, or thereabout, are shown here, both practical for all ordinary wear. The boyish kilt at th<

right is always a good choice for » school frock. It is pictured made oi jersey and an embroidered monognux design on the bodice reveals that Itt designer is mindful of one of fashion's preferences for this season. The frock to the left Is laid in shallow plaits about a low waistlint where a ribbon sash is threaded through slashes and tied in a bow at the side. Small embroidered posiei decorate the plaits and two rows oi tiny buttons do the waist a like service. JULIA BOTTOMI.EY, (©. 19J4, Western Newspaper Union.)

0 ™ Eg KITCHEN H (©. 1914. Western Newspaper Union.) “To grow and keep in person ae attractive as possible should be nog only everyone’s pleasure but sboulg be also everyone’s duty.” HOUSEHOLD HINTS An alarm clock Is a fine thing to set in the kitchen when baking cake, pud« ding, bread or in facrfl IgTh fl any kind of food. One: | L-S r is so apt to forget how ’ II ong tbe bread has bee * • 4® baking. Set it at ith< 3} time one is to start getE~J|\ S. ting dinner, too. A cheap little slatt with a crayon or pencil hung on the kitchen wall will help in doing the ordering. When any staph is getting low a note to that effect will call it .to mind. A good reminder for work to do or engagement; that might be neglected is thus handy. If the hands are rubbed with a mixture of salt and cornmeal after peek Ing onions or handling fish, then washed In cold water the odor will be removed. To remove obstinate mason Jar coders on canned fruit dip them in boiling , water for a minute or two, then unscrew easily. Melt butter and heat milk when adding to mashed pc^ito —then they will j beat up light and fluffy. Cornmeal mush will not become lumpy when cooking if the water is boiling and the cornmeal is mixed with a little cold water to pour into the boiling water. Stir until well-mixed f \ and cook until thoroughly done. Add ’ a tablespoonful of butter to the hot mush—it Improves the flavor and it will fry better. Do not put the dressing on salads that contain lettuce until ready to serve as it loses its crispness. When baking potatoes clip the ends, wash well, then rub with any sweet fat. The skin will be thin and edible when baked. Roll the potato and crack to let the steam escape—this will make a mealy potato. Newspapers laid around the stove when frying cakes or broiling steaks will save many a spot on the floor. The papers may be gathered up and burned and much work be saved. When cooking steak add the seasoning after the steak has been well seared over on both sides. Salt draws out the juices of the meat if added before It is cooked. Potato peelings put into the furnace or kitchen stove will keep the flues dean. Dry, hot bran is a good cleaner of . furs. Rut It in well then brush and hang the furs out to air. A pretty salad may be made of j small tomatoes. Peel and cut down to resemble a flower, fill the center with a spoonful of dressing and serve on lettuce. Hot honey is a good cough sirup; mixed with horseradish freshly grated It is still more efficient. •The sky is always blue. The clouds are only passing vapors, floating. Like sorrows brooding o’er you. dark and gloating,* Beyond them heaven is smiling, tender, true. The sky is always blue.” GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE For a change from the ordlnar. bread the following will be liked: Southern Grist Bread. —Mash until smooth one cupful of cold, wellcooked hominy.
