10 TROUSERS BY
CITY'S FAIR SEX
Women in Medford aren't fining
to wear the trousers at leant not
literally spea;cng. And that's the
verdict handed out by themselves,
not by the masculine ponder. They
bobbed their hair. They went to
work. They went into sports.
few years ngu they even adopted
suspender. Hut now they may
return to bustles, ruffles and
stays, but trouners are one bit of
apparel they're point: to leave to
the original breadwinner. Chiefly
because they don't want to wear
them. Interviews yesterday dis
closed. The majority agree with Lady
Armstrong, wife of tho British
consul general, "Women are back
In frills and arc glad to be there.
They're happier wearing skirts."
The few. who might be called
followers of Lucy Park, fashion
export, who told the group 'meet
ing of the Advertising Federation
of America that "all indications
favor tho prediction that women
are moving toward adopting the
only remaining masculine distinc
tion In dress," merely sanction
pH jamas for beach and breakfast.
They won't wear thorn on tho
streets.
Although the home-making cen
ter of the State Federation of
Women's clubs In New York In
troduced the wide cretonne pa
jamas for work. Mrs. Maud Chap
man, president of tho local Ilusl
noss and Professional Women's
club, has no time for "the silly
Idea." (
'Women have a sphere of their;
own, she stated yesterday, wny
should they try to bo like somo-
nne else. The fashion trend to
day Is not In the direction of
trousers, but quite the opposite."
"Women look horrible In trous
ers. Of course, they're not go
ing to wear them," Mrs. Josephine
Jones, health nurso, ejaculated
when approached with Lucy
Park's message. "As to ruling
the homo. Well women have
enough senso to know they can
do It more effectively In skirts."

An Outdoor Living Room
In the Formal Manner
The front yard belongs more or
less to the public, but tho back
yard may be developed Into a
private outdoor living room for
the enjoyment of the family and
their guests. Like the rooms In
doors, this outdoor living room
requires a definite design to cre
ate a harmonious, well-balanced
effect.
This garden room should be
screened so that It Isn't In full
flew of the curious passerby, and
also lo shut out unpleasant sur
roundings. This screen may be
provided by trees and tall shrubs,
o r I y a wall or fence co v e r e d
with graceful vines.
Flowering shrubs are most pop
ular for a screen and for the
background border plantings. Hy
skllUul planning, there will be an
ever-changing display of bloss
oms, followed In fall In nmny
hued leaves and blight color spots
of clustered berries, with decora
tive bark also contributing to the
beauty of the shrub border.
Whether formal or Informal In
design, there should be plenty of
flowers In the outdoor living
room. They furnish all-eason va
riety of bloom, shnps or flower
and type of plant, providing frag
rance and harmonious colors thru
the season, as well as blooms for
rutting. Flower hinders should
be planted In front of the back
ground plant logs at the sides of
the room. This gives a pleading
netting for the colorful blooms,
nnd At the same time leaves the
center aren open end unobstruct-
j ed.
As the spa ce n vn liable for n
outdoor living room Is most ofien
square or rectangular, the simplest
plans for the outdoor room are
often laid along geometrical lines.
In fact, very limited areas, where
practically every part can be seen

Out In the tall grass some dis
tance from the house. Hilly was
lying, sobbing ns tho his heart
were broken. It really wasn't his
heart that was hurt, it was hif
pride. Hut that Is about the very
worst kind of hurt. Hilly had
been nauirhty and his mother bail
punished him ami Hilly hail fell
that he was too big ever to be
punished again. So he had hidden
himself in the grass to cry away
his hurt and wish for the day
when he would be big enough to
do as he phased. How surprised
he would have been to know that
one never grow big enough or
old enough to do as one pleases!
Presently, in one of his ipih-tcr
luomenls. he thot he heard an
other voice In distress. He list
ened anil then hunted until he
found what it was. A tiny baby
iiuall, just a few days old. had
dropped Into a hole In the ground
and his parents had gone on with
out him. lie, too. was crying bit
terly. Hilly picked him up and
cuddled him in his hand and un
der his chin until the cries
changed to contented peeps.
Thorough search tui)cd to find
the lost parents so Hilly carried
the baby home. Strangely enough.
In comforting the little lost quail,
his own sorrow had been com
pletely forgotten.
Little "Puffy." as Hilly called
him, grew to be a fine fat uuall.
And why shouldn't he. when Hilly
swatted files for htm all day long'.'
At first he only had one fly a day
but as he grew his appetite grew
also and before long he was trail
ing Hilly and the swatter picking
up the files as they fell. When
he could hold no more he would
carefully wipe his beak and perch
en Hllly's shoulder.
At night Puffy stayed with the
young chickens but early In the
morning he was out eallfnir for

Article VIII
Tho Placing of Furniture
in a Room
The formal period room Is the
aslest room to arrange. Authen
tic pictures or a welj informed
rofessional may be relied upon
;o select and arrange the proper
Pieces of furniture In a correct
nanner, but it is nevery very
ippeallng and hospitable.
The other type of room is
nuch more difficult but far more
pleasing. Personality must bo
:he dominant feature in the live
ible beautiful room and the first
rule to be observed always Is to
i void overcrowding. Too many
pieces of furniture and too much
.ric-a-brac give a room a clutter-d-up
look and destroy the sense
of balance bo essential to a rest
ful effect. '
In the living room It Is quite
natural that the fire place should
be the center of interest for here
is where hospitality begins. Hero
conversation is at its best and
comfortable seats should be so
arouned that each person may be
at his best. Arranged near by
there should be good lights to
read by and convenient tables for
books, magazines and smoking
things. Next in Importance are the
window groups for people na
turally linger near a window and
here again easy conversation and
the things which make for ease
and comfort, must be placed close
at hand. Never should any one
piece of furniture be left alone
and unattended. It is always
best to leave the center of the
room clear for this arrangement
makes for easy movement about
the room and general conversa
tion. Study your room from every
angle and see that each group of
furniture so viewed presents a
complete, comfortable artistic and
restful picture. Heavy pieces of
furniture should be so placed that;
hn ennm hnu n well balanced ap-
poarance and the wall line seen:
oyer the tops of such pieces is un
even and interesting. Itugs and
all large pieces should be placed

Family Album Puts on Swank

WASHINGTON (A) The old!
family album minus the red plush j
is being revived. j
From the dignified isolation of
the "what not" in tho closed-up
front room it has achieved a non

loose, thus permitting enlarge

One Washington matron, fear
