The Home Library . . .
The Ann rican home library i
comma back. The lianclM'int'sl I
liign of the fact is in the "Pace.
Setter llou.-e lor ltioti." .-iiown
in the July issue of "Hoie i
Beautiful" magazine. A nice:
thins about it, from the outlook
of an id sawmill hand, is that j
you can scarcely have a home1
library without hookshek cs. and
architects agreed lon uu.0 that.
West, Coa--l hemlock helvini; is
the best thine available, under
books as well as under kitclvn- ;
ware and dishes. !
In Seattle Realtor lirnry .
Bi'odei ick and Attorney Ralph ,
Bushnell Potts, both of them au- j
thors of books, have local prize
contests goin? for essays on two
subiec's. One is. "The Home
Library ami It Character B. Hid
ing Influences " The second e
sav contest is on tlic theme.
"The Value of a Home Library
for Self Education."
In each case a iirst prue of
SI00 is offered, with a number
of secondary prizes to no alon.
Famous author of hooks. Nard
Jones, is promoting the contest,
while the Seattle Operation
Home Iinprocment program is
sponsoring it
The Pace Setter House . . .
The home library spot makes
a uood talk'.nu point to start on
