^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.

T O VISIT the 1924 autumn and win
ter knitted outerwear fashion dis
plays Is tike entering a new world of
discovery. 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.
