A KEMODDLED A Skillful Treatment In Making Over Simple Charm and The architectural possibilities in the building of a city house or its re modelling are in many ways limited *" * ??Ti-itVt tho panntrv hnm?.

There is no valid reason for the lack ot individuality characterizing the most of the fine residences in our large cities. Man? of them have fine sites, at the edges of parks, facing* tree bordered public squares, or fronting river or la?e, that offer rare oppor-i tunity for harmonious treatment on broad "lines of taste and effectiveness. The three essential elements of a -city house are convenience, comfort and beauty, united in finest adapta- J tion of tlie individual house to the needs of the owner.

These and iriany other conveniences which architects often deem of secondary I importance, should be considered in I the original designs of the building I or in the remodeling. i I Comfort is a three-fold problem of arcnitecture, furnishing, and decora- j ticn. Every room should be satisfy-' i iner as nerfectlv fulfilling its destiny, j its perfect harmony with the ned it j , typifies. If too large or too small j there can be 110 real comfort; if the I furnishings do not give the maximum ; of ease, making one quickly oblivious 1 nf, them as means to end in the gen : eral spirit of satisfaction they bring to body and mind, there can be no | real comfort, if the coloring of the j decorations or the designs prove ag gressive or stir some restless inner i feeling or protest, or if certain ar ticles of furniture cannot associate together in peace and harmony in I the same room, tnere can De no reai comfort. There are rooms that as | we enter, captivate us with their i charm to which we involuntarily sur : render; there are others far more [ elaborate, far more costly, that leave ! us cold, irritated or subtly disturbed.

ONE-PIECE DRESSES CALL FOR SMVIRT COATS Youthful Sports Skirts and Summer Bbuses Vie With The One Plece Froek. New York, April 30, 1917. One-piece dresses have come to stay. In silk, satin, foulard, taffeta, pongee, Georgette crepe, chiffon, v'jile, crepe, in fact, running the en tire gamut ui iuai.ci mia, tutot are spring favorites. Of course, this type of dress demands a separate coat, for even in summer there are times when a wrap is necessary. The velours, duvetyns and other piled fa brics were so popular for the winter that we have for spring and summer similar fabrics, only in a weiglit suit able for the weather. Light-weight velours in white, sand color, gray, and many brighter shades are partic ularly appealing for the separate coat. The model illustrated shows the latest effect in spring goods. It is developed in sand-colored velours & ? lie Call Spring Coat in Bowling-Pin Effect. and has the smart barrel or bowling pin effect in its wideness at the hips auueiiLuaieu oy pocKei sections, jl wide, soft collar, and cuffs in gaunt-! let effect, are other features which aid in giving this model style. For automobiling, this coat might be suc cessfully developed in one of the dust proof satins, and will be practical for wearing in the car and quite sty lish when loosened at luncheon or dinner at the hotel. The Youthful Sports Skirts. I ! The new sports clothes show a; youthful note, and yet embody thatj simplicity with is requisite to maKfe; gay colors practical for every-dayj wear. The skirts, gathered or shir-j red at the waistline, sometimes straight hanging, and sometimes; brought in at the ankles to give the! new barrel effect, are made of a wide variety of materials. Tussur, rajah, i pongee and similar weaves are the j mainstay for the more expensive J skirts, while cotton fabrics, in white I with gay squares, discs, balloon dots, i and in striped effects, may be had ai i varying prices. Cretonne which haaj had such a vogue for smocks and; trimmings in seasons past is pressed: into use ae:ain this season for these same sport skirts. They are often I made crosswise of the goods so that the selvage of the cretonne is used instead of a hem, and the other sel vage edge makes a heading around the waist. The Trend pf Snmmer Blonses. Never has there been a greater' variety of styles for separate blouses than there is this season. It makes vptv little difference what tVDe of waist you like best; if the sleeves have the proper look and the collar is well designed you may be able to wear it. The Russian and peplun? effects, in Georgette, chiffon, crepe ( de chine and satin are having a won-, derful vogue, but so are the waists1 which come only to the waist and tuck themselves modestly beneatn the skirt band. A very new mode ot trimming waists of crepe de chine is, to have collar, cuffs and belt not of' a contrasting but of the same colored linen. Organdy waists are being' combined with silk and satin over-, blouses. A novelty in waists and one which is most practical as well, is the blouse of fine gingham for) sports. Blouses of this type are made up in stripes and checks which re mind one of children's rompers and play frocks. Sometimes they are, combined with white pique. I saw a; very pretty pink one recently which i had a white pique vest with the fronts ! of the waist cut in scallops and stitch- j ed into the vest. i Onerlit to Have Sense Enough. Yorkville Enauirer. We have not been trying to advise farmers as to what they, should do with regard to planting cotton this i year, for as things stand now we feel that if a man has not sense enough himself to see what is the best thing to do, there is no need to try to tell him. But we know that we are coming upon a time when food will be worth far more than gold, and those who want to take the risk of providing themselves with rood that they have not got, with gold that they may not be able to get, will simply have to go their own way. ANSWERS MANNING ON CONSCRIPTION Dominick Explains Why He Opposes Wilson Plan.?Says He is Anxious to Give Hoys Chance to Volunteer HpforA Innlvint? Draft. ^ "rr-rf ?o ? (P. H. McGowan, in The State.) Washinton, April 26. ?Congress-! : man Fred Dominiek today sent a let ! ter to Gov. R. I. Manning in reply to . ! one from the latter urging the Soutn i Carolina representative to support tne 1 administration's conscription bill. Tne 1 letter, explaining why Mr. Dominic* opposes the president's plan, follows: j "I am in receipt of yours of tne 24th instant, in which you address ! me as .mv Diar AiKen, urgmg mc lu support the administration's conscrip-: I tion bill. In reply I will say thai 1 ' shall vote for the bill as reported by a majority of the house committee on military affairs, which allows tne ' privilege of volunteering, empowering : the president to reject any or most volunteering as he may see fit; and in the event that the army is not raised i by the volunteer system, or at any time that the president might decide that this system will be impracticable ; and ineffectual, he may put into op ! eration the draft system drafting all j male persons betwen the ages of '11 | and 40 years instead of between ly ! and 25 years as recommended by the j staff army bill. In the meanwhile trie ; machinery for carrying into effect tne ( ! draft system is provided for the war' j department, in the event conscription j is necessary. j j "I am satisfied that if you and other j South Carolinians would read ana I understand the house bill as it nas ! been reported by the majority of tne j house military committee that you j and they, as true South Carolinians, I would not be urging South Carolina's 1 +/n cnnnnrt tlio (ifarr rGpi"??>?11 let tJL v ca iu ouppux ^ v*?w--w| measure proposed by the war college which has the indorsement of tiie president. 1 lVhat He Thinks. "I can not agree with you that ex perience of the past in all our wars and also the experience of England j in tho nrpspnt -a-ar has shown con-! ciusiveiy that the volunteer system has failed in every instance. On the other hand, my observation and stiifcj has been that the volunteer soldier has fought and won the victories that have made this country what it is. It is true that conscription was resorted to finally in the Civil w&r; but debate on this matter in congress has dis closed the fact that those who were conscripted in that war occupied aj very small place in the picture, and in | many cases brought shame and dis grace upon inemseives, msicou adding glory to the country to whicii tliey belonged. "Even England, which is pointed out as an example and a lesson b> I which we should be forced to a con ; scription policy in this country, does , not, in actual fact, prove the case aa ! argued by the conscriptionists. The | hearings on this bill before the mili i.tary committee of the house and trie i debate in congress disclosed the faei j that England raised 5,000,0*00 or troops before conscription was resori j ed to, and that among the Britlsa | trOOps HOW ,1X1 acujai )?auai& un <,uv i continent of Europe there is not a' single conscripted man in that vast' a^rmy. j "With her small comparative popu- j - lation, Canada has furnished 40^,1)00 soldiers in the British army; Aus tralia hus furnished thousands like wise, and conscription has not been and never will be resorted to in these ..necaeoinne nf fhp Rritish QTT1 L ?

"I can1 not believe that the people 1 represent are willing that draft shall be made on their sons between the ages of 19 to 25 years until after they have had ample opportunity to vol unteer in whatever service they properly serve their country; whether | in the military arm of the government or in pursuits of peace in tilling the soil or manufacturing her products for the support of our people and our armies. Bejects British Example. "Should the illustration as to Great Britain's experience in the present war on the question of conscription be true (as urged by those favoring con scription, but which the hearings re ferred to have shown is not true), I would remind you that we Have a people different from the Englisn people. Our government and our in stitutions are different from the Eng lish government. As to what England and her people might do or might not do is not argument as to what a free born American citizen will do or will j not do under similar circumstances j and like conditions. South Carolin-! ians in the Revolution, in the Mexi-| can war, and in the '60's have show? > what they would and could do ana | I am unwilling to believe that the' sons of these fathers will fail in their duties now in defense of our coun try. " We are all interested in raiding the est army that we can and I am satisfied in my own mind, after read ing the hearings in regard to this matter, hearing the debates, and look ing at it from every viewpoint, that I am right in my advocacy and sup port of the volunteer system what ever the political consequences may be to myself "I might add that as late as Feb ruary, 1916, the president did not favor compulsion in military training and on May 30. 1916, he said 'I have heard a great many people iaiK auuuu universal training. Universal volun tary training with all my heart, if you wish it, but America does not wi?J: anything but compulsion of the spirit of America.' "I can not follow the president in fhio mattpr when he"changed his. views and adopted them to the views of the general staff of the army.''
