HOMES MAKE GOOD CITIZENS
To Own One'* Own Home Mean* Ao>
quirement of a Certain Standing
in the Community.
“He’s a home owner and a taxpay
er,” Is the best recommendation any
man can have In his own community.
If gives him a standing forthwith, not
ao much as a person of some financial
Importance, but as a dependable, sub
stantial and 'self-respecting citizen,
wisely regardful of his own and his
family's happiness find best Interests,
and at the same time an asset to the
nhtgtiborhood^ wfift* fce-^ivegF-:**
universal Is the home-loving instinct
that it might almost be said there is
something wrong morally with the man
or woman who-does not care to own
a home; and that is why the malcon
tents, the habitual Industrial disturb
ers and the socially restive that In
flict themselves on all countries are of
the element that Is very largely with
out home ties.
Unless all signs fail, this te to be
the great American home-building
yeari Stimulated by the government’s
urgent advice to “own a home for your
children’s sake,” and by the injunction
that during the war it was patriotic
not to build, now we can best show
our patriotism by building, there has
been a tremendous revival in the sen
timent for home ownership. The In
dications are that the unhappy classes
of renters and boarders will be great
ly depleted before the end of 1919,
and that there will be many thousands
of' additional fa&llies* entered upon
the life of happiness and contentment
to be found only in the home.
The price of building materials to
day is not high, as compared with
prices of other commodities, and the
community that does not add mate
rially to Its total of homes this year
Is likely to be rated as lacking in pa
triotism as well as good business Judg
ment.
ALL SHOWRIBBON
Dresses for Midsummer Are the
“Prettiest in Years.
Net, Lac* and- Sheer Organdie Frocka
InParticular Call for tha
New Effects In Way of
Trimming.
Nothing prettier or more daintily
feminine conld be Imagined than the
ribbon-run midsummer dresses of this
year. Net, lace and sheer organdie
frocks have satin ribbon of two-inch
width run through shirred casings,
the ribbon emerging here and there
to make a coquettish bow. Several
of these dainty frocks have been worn
on the stage this winter. There were
three at least in “Olorlanna” and
the determined Ingenue In “Miss Nell
o’ New Orleans” wears a delectably
youthful frock, run ylth pink ribbons;
one across the TiodicVahd’lKree actdHf
the skirt, the emerging bows of rib
bon coming under each other, all the
way down the frock. A lovely sum
mer'aTfeHiobfi dress for a young-giri
Is of white net, with several shirred
casings on bodice, tunic and skirt and
blue satin ribbon run through each
casing. Care should be taken, In
planning such a frock, to have the
ribbon-run casings at equal distances
apart. One across the bodice Just be
low the bust; one at the hip and an
other at the knee, usually makes a
graceful proportion of trimming. Of
course, the wide elbow sleeve will be
finished at its edge with a shirring
ribbon, and a smart bow of the ribbon
on the other side of the sleeve.
SEVERE STYLES COME BACK
GOOD USE FOR OLD WELL
W*ter In It Employed to Cool That
in Us* in the Public Drinking
Fountain.
In many cities which have acquired
water systems, there are old wells
which have been abandoned and
closed. The Illustration ^hows how
one of these was used In a Western
city to cool the water used in a pub
lic drinking fountain. The supply pipe

directly from the water main to the
base of the fountain, led first to the
coll pipe which was, placed below the
water line in the old well. As the

Return to Correct and Neat Tallleurs
of Ten or Fifteen Years Ago
Observed.
There Is a revival of the correct
and neat tailleur such as we wore
ten or fifteen years ago. One might
even say that there Is no difference
in the cut, either in skirt or Jacket.
The little handkerchief In the side
pocket and the flowers In the button
hole have resumed their place. Often
a waistcoat In color or a white border
coming below the vest adds to the
smartness of this costume. The only
difference between the severe tailleur
of today and that of the older mode Is
the Insistonoe on. the wide wajpt:
there Is no indication of corseting or
of girdle.
This return to the strictly tailored
costume for street wear, the resump
tion of the clear definite lines, and the
desire to be free, on street costumes,
from Incumbering folds and restless
fringes and floating panels Is very de
cidedly marked among the women or
the smart world. One may see the
women who sponsor^this,new mode
Jumping out of their cars In front of
the hotel looking as If they were ready
for horseback, with a flowery button
hole In the left revers, or perhaps a
Spanish carnation.
It Is with this Idea In mind that
the great dressmakers are thinking of
bringing back the Louis XV jacket,
that Is to say, the Jacket worn by the
men of that period, which opened over
waistcoats of heavy stuffs imported
from London. They are in brilliant
colors printed with English hunting
scenes of the eighteenth century.—

radiated to the cold water in the well,
and, on emerging at the upper end of
the coll into the pipe leading to the
fountain, it .was several degrees cool

The device Is especially effective on
fountains of the type which are not
running continuously, but are turned
on by pressing a lever.—Popular Me

Those Old Crochet Edges.
You probably never thought to us*
again the crocheted edges already
used. And you can, by the very sim
ple expedient of cutting the edge away
and crocheting a single chain to con
nect the remaining loops. It Is a very
simple matter after that to sew on to
the new edge as you would a fresh
lace edging.,, Then should the old
edging be 1 obviously old, what say you
to treating it to a dye bath? Wonder
fully effective are dyed laces of all
sorts Just now. And whether you are
going to use the edging on frock or
blouse or undies, the dyeing can hold
good for-all. A further suggestion is
to dye the undies and the edging at
the same time, so as to be quite sbre
that they match up.
