THE VALUE OF PRETTY LAWNS Make Plans Now to Beautify Grounds Around Your Home in Spring Pergola Very Ornamental. Landscape gardening and architecture most properly Include all forms of dec* oration that will Increase the attrac tiveness of the lawn, and such as will add at the same time a monetary value to the home. It is not desired to have simply a pretty lawn, but one that will enhance the value of the property it self, says House and Garden. There are many things that will ma terially Increase the value of the lawn from an artistic standpoint. Among these may be mentioned the pergola. It ls one of the newer forms of lawn dec oration In this country, but deserves encouragement on the part of the real home lovers, whose desire ls to add to the home plan. One should understand, however, that the pergola is not simply a decoration. It possesses useful features in addition to Its attraction as an ornament, and wherever erected increases the charm of the setting. It serves as a bower, a retreat, and a nook. It may be covered with vine3, and serve as a refuge from Inclement weather. Frequently it leads off into the lawn and sometimes to the garage, or terminates at a pond or miniature garden. At other times it will serve as a bridge, with columns at either end, In this way spanning an otherwise open ravine and adding to the archi tectural effects of the home. In coun try homes it has a special place, be cause of the expanse that many of the country abodes possess, thereby mak ing its necessity more keenly felt. Thus we see that the pergola is In reality a useful ornament, and one that is finding more general favor as home builders come to realise its need. It should be given a fair share of the construction man's consideration. The Study of the varying materials with which It ls built and the effects of the different types of architectural varia tions are widespread. Its very popu larity has been the fundamental rea son why there are today a larger number of the structural materials nsed in its manufacture. WE WANT REAL HOMES AGAIN ?Afflerlcans ..More.and-. M-9r^Understand_ Value of "Having Residence With Some Land Around IL We are today, for the second time in America, reaching the homestead pe riod. We had it back in the old colo nial days, when we built substantially. Then came the second generation of our foreign-born population, and their spirit was expressed in elaborate and futile imitations of homes unsuited to American lives. More leisure has come to us, a more settled spirit of patriotism that breeds sympathy with all national achieve ment, and the time now seems ripe for the building of hemes suited to the American spirit, substantial, comfort able, facing the servant problem frank ly, realizing a growing iDterest in beau ty, expressing, too, the keynote of cur civilization - individually, says the Craftsman. Because we are demanding horr.es of the type that we want to live in, home building has become the most absorb ing topic of this generation. Whereas even a few years ago the difficulty was to keep the country boy and girl in auy way attached to the land, the city holding the lure that unbalanced all youth, today the world is reaching back to home life, gardening, farming; you lind boys who work in the city tell ing you frankly that they travel many miles a day rather than give up coun try life. You lind young women plan ning from the day of their marriage to have a home of their own, built to their needs, furnished as they like it, BEAUTY VALUABLE IN ITSELF When You Plant Shrubs Around Your Home Remember Sime Are Use ful and Ornamental, Too. A*very practical writer in a popu lar magazine recently condemned the American custom of planting purely or namental trees and shrubs. Such things, he contended, performed no useful work, and ought to be discard ed. The redbud and flowering almonds should give place to cherry and peach trees ; and roses and spireas, presuma bly, should make way for currants and gooseberries. Only thus could we have a garden scheme worthy of a practical people. There are elements of truth in such a doctrine. Too many people fall to recognize the beauty Inherent In plants, trees and shrubs cultivated for food in a cherry tree orchard, in a field of blossoming clover or ripening wheat But the central idea of this practi cal creature Is false altogether, for he falls to recognize that beauty ls worth while in and of itself, and needs no indorsement from either stomach or pocketbook. Mohammed knew what he was about when he uttered his fa mous advice: "He that hath two loaves of bread, let him sell one and buy narcissus ; for bread is food only for the body, but narcissus ls food for the soul."-Boston Courier.
