(& Kit, Wnttra Nwipapr Union ) I An Attractive Bathroom 4H-4-4 l Prepared bf tht United Stnits Mpwtatnt of Airlcullura.1 An attractive bathroom It a house keeper's pride, and the care given It Is well repaid, not only from the uni tary standolDt but because somehow Its gleaming porcelain and well shlned fixtures, as well aa Its fresh dainty linen, reflect the atandards of the home. Ilecau It la In constant dully use by every member of the family, the bathroom and everything In It needs going over every day. The hand bnsln and tub must be scoured, the toilet made eerupulously clean, nickel or other metal fixtures wiped and polished, and the floor mopped or wljied. depending on Its condition ana 4clnd. The water pipes and Iran Bathroom Fixtures should be frequently examined, too, ' for stoppuge or leuks, either of which should receive prompt attention from a competent plumber. The regular replnceinent of soiled towels nnd wash rugs with cleun ones, and attention to soup dishes, shelves, nnd the linen and medicine closets at. frequent times are also very nec essary details of bathroom care. Flue scourers may be used on all fixtures, says the bureau of borne eco nomics. For porcelain and enameled Iron fixtures, kerosene and whiting lire especially good; the kerosene cuts the greuso and the whiting supplies the abrasion. Some of the conimer clnl.. cleaning preparations used fot enameled and porcelain fixtures are so gritty that they scratch the sur face and thus make It harder lo keep tlterrt clean. Special care should he luken to select 6ns that . will not Velvet displays, that hats are no longer Jtiil huts, rather are they "creations" whlct tell of an era In hendwear where the touch of the "milliner born" becomei absolutely Imperative In the scheme ol things. In the conjuring of modish milli nery, the employment of lace and ol fur unfolds an endless vlsio. of posi bllltles to the designer, From hat tc coat, frock and ensemble, the Idea ol enlivening black with touches of white fur wins appeal. To wear with a drecsy black velvet or broadcloth or perhaps snede-ftnlxbed cloth coat or Jacket-suit where white fur appears at neck and wrists modistes are creating lints of the type of the little ermine- trimmed hat pictured at the top of this group to the left The two other fur-touched models Is the Illustration employ black broad'.all for the toque In the lower left corner, and leopurd skin for the gcurf-and-hbt set shown next to It In the Instance of the black broadcloth snug hnt with its bow and flat cuff of hroadtull again Is seen the tendency to match the hul to the costume. This enxemlile theme Is resulting In all sorts of fabrics en tering Into the list of hat media, such as broadcloth, tweed and novelty wool ens. In fact any material nsed for the dress or suit Is apt to be duplicated In Its accompanying hnt. It follows also, what with the observance of complementing the costume with matching hnt that women who keep pace with the mode, will find It neces sary to buy many more bats than they have In some other seasons. Three of the sketches herewith demonstrated that lace Is being as ef fectively worked by milliners as fur. Lace treatments msy he said to be approached from two different angles, one Is the ue of Insets aa shown In the brimmed hat centered at the top of the picture, also In the sketch to the right; the other Is the adding of an ornamental veil, such as gives such a piquant air to the concluding model In the group. When motifs of clred lace are In set Into felt ahaiies, which they so frequently are.'emphasla Is placed on their being perfect tolor match. These matched Ince effects are devel oping Into one of the most fascinating themes offered la millinery fushlons this season. (ZX lit, Waiters Ntwipxr I'nlon.) scratch the enamel. Tubs and bowls should be scrubbed with a fine scour er or with water containing a little kerosene, rinsed with clear not wa ter, and wiped dry. The stains made by water contain ing an excess of Iron may lie removed j from porceluln or poccelain-lined tubs and howls with oxalic arid solution, which Is a poison and must be en tirely washed off. The overflow pipes should be flushed, washed with hot soapsuds or soda solution and a long bandied brush, and flushed again. Then the seat, the rover, the chain, and the handle should he washed snit wiped.

Tiled walls and floors sre easily wiped clean with soup and warm wa ter unless the floor Is dirty enough to need a scouring powder. It Is I good plan to use two clothe, s wet and a dry one, and to clean a small area at a time, wiping It dry. Tin use of too much water may result ultimately In loosening the cement Is which tiles are laid. If the floor U covered with llneolebtn this treat ment Is preferable to mopping.

Homes Made Possible by Loan Associations Statistics made public by the build ing loan and savings associations ol the United States show' that In the last eight years the 13,(XK) thrift as sociations scattered through the coun try have financed 8,700,000 homes, val ued at $13,1 14,600,000. . The number has stendlly Increased n'nd It was esti mated that 700,000 homes were financed lost year, to the value of $2,3)0,000,o(H). More than one-seventh of the en tire population of the country Is now housed In buildings financed by these associations, the number provided for being 18,5X3,000. Of the 3.700.000 homes, 2,000,000 are being paid for on weekly or monthly pajrments. There are at present more than 12,000,000 members of these esS'tflatlons and the current assets are $S,t.000,000. Approximately $0,000,000,000 of the expenditures of the associations was paid out to workmen and artisans who helped to construct the homes. More than 02 per cent of the moqey Invested went to finance borne .owning. This latter result was not accidental, but due to the reason that the primary purpose of these associations Is to helg people In owning their own homes. Appearances Add Much to Real Estate Values Agreements on the part of real es tate developers to maintain sold snd unsold property in a presentable con dition by setting out trees, snruDoerj and flowers, of grading parkways and keeping weeds out on Individual lots -form one of the strongest factor! which make for Increased realty val ues, according to a proulnent Chicago real estate broker. "Prorierty values rise through an In flux of purchasers," be ssys, "and pur chasers are attracted to an unhelicv abre degree by the pliyslcnl appear a nee of the property Itself." I'eopll of means insist on well-kept surround Ings, and It Is a fact that every de velopment around Chicago which hal been oierated ander ranlntenancs agreements as regards the upkeep ol appearances has not only been popu lated quickly, but has undergone notice-able Increases In realty values.

Bsaatifyief Small Cardaa Within the smaller garden there If no room for the larger architectural features such as the pergola or gar den shelter, but there Is always a place for a bit of furniture or orna ment Such an object may occupy the center of the garden. For example, a sun dial of statue steading alone may be the principal factor of the design. Or possibly a bird, bath may form the focal point of a vista, or may be considered a sufficient motive tor the direction of a walk. Other objects may mark an entrance gate to the garden by symmetrically flanking either side. A series of mailer objects might determine the outer corners of a formal flower bed, thus aiding materially tn emphasis ing the design. Save the Wild" Hewers Miles and miles of highways srs being constructed, square corners art turned Into sweeping curves, more di rect routes cut across woods nnd fields says Nature Magazine. Kvery yenl hitherto untouched woodlands are be ing cleared or opened for grazing Watch for opportunities like these to rescue flowers and shrubs otherwise doomed to die; study their needs and give tliein a home as much as possible like the one that was tuken to supply the needs of man. . Hoip'.taMe Hone Entrance The entrance should be hospitable snd so placed as to help the harmony of the building not necessarily In the exact renter of the front wull. but In harmony with the other features ol the house, t'ne too frequently seen fault of modern house- Is that the doorways are small.
