PAGE SIT "V ssssss: THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CUWTW. 8. C THU8SPAY. OCTOBER 23, 1»24 ^ommun: v v 'Buildincj ^Economic Wrong to Bo Sparing of Paint The first requisite In making the Itome bright end cheerful is to liren It up In beautiful colors, outside as well as Inside. The little cottage or bungalow may be dressed just as cleverly and be as beautiful as the stately mansion. A little care used tn the selection of the colors and quality of the paint will transform the dlngjf, unattractive house into one that will be a cretMt to the happy family within, as wefl as to the neigh borhood round about Say! Don’t we all of us throw our shoulders back and step a little high er in a new coar or gown? It is a Just pride, a healthful indication that we are going forward and not slip ping. But, If it is a choice between a new coat or gown and a new coat of paint for the home, the prudent person will choose the new coat for the house and will be Just as proud and happy as In the new suit. A Judicious Investment of cash in bank, since It really costs more not to paint than It does to paint. To put off the painting not only robs you of the pleasure It would afford, and detracts from the general appearance of your neighborhood, but the longer It Is put off the more your property is damaged and the more paint and la bor ft required to do the Job. When painting is put off too long the putty falls away "froqp the glass, the nail heads rust, moisture gets Into the tiny fissures and widens them Into long cracks. The boards and case ments warp and the Joints open up; the waterspouts, troughs and flash ings rust away. This picture is not In the least overdrawn. The lumber must be protected or these very things will happen. It Is therefore real econ omy to paint. - Organized to Further Beauty in Every Town At the state conference on regional planning'held recently at Buffalo and attended by officials from every com munity in the state a federation was formed to accomplish the following: 1. To encourage and assist In the formation and organization of plan ning boards throughout the state. 2. To affiliate organizations and in dividuals Interested in scientific plan- aing. 3. To aid the work of existing com missions or planning boards by act-' big as clearing bureau for Informa tion on scientific planning. 4. To further all needed legisla* - 5. To collect and publish facts re tarding the economic, industrial and social values Ip scientific town and fogionnl planning. <L To otherwise promote in all ways povsible the extension and the proper development of city, town and regional planning. Arrangement of Shrubt More important 1 than e^en the flow ering qualities of shrubs Is their ar rangement. In other words, planning to plant is the most essentia!—the beauty of our yards depends entirely upon It, and is almost as Important as the planning out of a house. By making a plan of the lot it is possible to mitke it into “outdoor llving-roodis,’' wit^, interesting vistas and at the same time made convenient to the existing conditions. No lot Ift too snnill to have nntnre express herself beautifully under man-made, limited surroundings. In choosing shrubs for aH-around jlarposcs. probably the hordsr plant ing of the lot would be 'most In com «non for every home. The rear yard generally has the greatest opportunity and the more massive and taller Ufowlng varieties of shnibs Should be considered. MILLINERY THAT PROCLAIMS FASHION’S INTENT IN SHAPES ti\\TILL or will she not’*—wear VV the new styles In millinery, with their high* crowns, wide .or nar row, and greatly varied, brims—and ofttimes dashing style—that is the question that milliners confront. If she is young, or has an open mind, the answer is—she will. But if she is older and cautious, not to mention timid about criticism—she may* need some coaxing. Here is where trim mings slip in and save the day for the anxious milliner. They soften theee unaccustomed lines. By means of wreaths, plumes, pom pons and fancies of ostrich feather, much ornamentation of burnt goose and numberless other feather devices, by wide, soft ribbon and velvet dra peries and b, lace, the new shapes are softened and modified. Wiuter vill bring silk and velvet flowers also, in the company furs. But In the group of hats pictured there is no attempt to conceal the intent of the mode—these ar* shapes approved by fashion. At the top, nat urally, one interpretation of the “top per” is shown in hatter’s plush, with tall boll crown, swathed with ribbon, tied in a little bow. The brim, widen ing and rolling up at .the front, is a great favorite. Below It. two wide- brimmed velvet hats refuse any alli ance with trimmings that would Inter fere with their fine lines. One of them adopts bands of ribbon set with little roses, about the crown and fac ing. and the other shares its honors with embroidery. The small hat, at the right reveals* the tall crown in Its severest aspect, but has a brim that shadows the eyes and effaces Itself ai the back. The last hat. of black vel- et, undertakes to win adrairatioi Ith its very graceful and becoming lines, and adds color in the big or mment on the crown in which a quan tity of ribbon Is skillfully worked up.

Again have the designers In the knitted arts succeeded In cre sting that “something different” at mosphere which so lures and fascin ates the seekers of style. Especially do sweaters this season take on a prepossessing guise of being other than they geally are. In its mod ernized aspect, whoever would guess that the handsome knitted Russian blouse shown In the picture traces its ancestry to the humble sweater of pio neer days? The vogue for white Is emphasized in this modish knitted Russian blouse, color contrast achieved in an allovel* plaid Lungin green. Plaids in knlf- ced sportswear are the qltra-smart note. Speaking in regard to the evolution of the sweater, not only is the Rus sian Mouse a fluttering testimony to knitted achievement, for an equally elaborate treatise might also be penned concerning the latest knitted Jac- guettes which are ns luxuriously and handsomely designed as are nriludy'a novelty fur coatees. In fact, the knit* ted ‘bob’’ coat, or Jacquette with Its clipped yarn collar, which measures up in appearance to real fur, is the last word in autumn wrap fashions. That such a fur-like resemblance can Se attained through the simple proc ess of clipping or shearing yarn can scarcely be appreciated through the simple telling. There Is also added attraction in the many charming trimming details em ployed In connection with things knit ter, such as glass buttons, leather trap pings, fringe, embroidery and remark able color combinations. Plain knit borders and finishings effectively con trast plaids, in a trtmlmng way. An Interesting example of color combina tion is that of yellow andwhite striped Jacquette overplnld in black, with col lar, cuffs and other detnlls carried out In plain knit deep yellow. Other color favorites stress warm reddish tones, specially burnt russet Leading shades also Include cocoa brown, greens, bright and subdued tints, fuchsia, Copenhagen blue.
