It sounded as if the last part of the sentence ought to be sufficient to ex plain everything, and there is no get ting away from the fact that garments which are “man-tailored” have a great superiority in appearance over women’s tailoring work— and, of course, are much more expensive. It is not a matter of sex prejudice or imagination, for there are few trades which are so fully open to wom en as various branches of tailoring. Ituther is the superiority due to the greater physical strength of men and a certain knack for the work which is natural to some men. “Tailoring is not exactly a trade which anybody con learn,” was the opinion of a leading tailor. “High- class tailoring is a real art, and some men are born for it lq the same way thnt others nre born to paint great pictures. Very often the tailor’s gift is hereditary from father to son. "There are three main reasons why women tailors are Inferior to men In the work which they turn out. Women have not sufficient physical strength to do the heavy pressing which makes or mars a garment; they cannot ap proach men where ‘cutting’ is con cerned, and the general finish of wom en's work Is not so good as that of men— in total effect rather than de tail. "Until comparatively recent years tailoring was purely a man's trade, but now there are scores of women en gaged upon It. The bulk of wholesale work, consisting o f average price men’s suits and women’s costumes, is done by women, so far as the actual making is concerned. The cutting of such garments is usually done by ma chine. “Certainly the superiority of the ‘man tailored’ suit or costume is not a fallacy. Women enn do excellent work, but they are not such good tail ors ns men in the results they achieve. Their work is less definite. Moreover, it is a certainty that if you took a tailoring expert into a mixed crowd of men and women he would unerring ly select which garments had been ‘man tailored’ and which were wom en's work." on aU t h 2 i i?h.b '. thf .hiRhest authority to Wil l . * T Jbtec' a. * ddr,S<"’ »11 innulrlea avenue nmA - Radford- No. 1827 Prairie two-cent iu m p*°for'rei.lyn<1 ° n‘ y enclogo The determination to build a home H not arrived ut hastily; and after that object has been fixed In mind ' there U required on the part of u Rieut proportion of home builders the saving of raouey enough to make the first payment of such an amount tliut the contractor who erects the home, the lumber and muteriul dealer who furnishes the materials, and the bank er, who many times supplies the money, are assured that the builder will stick to his determination, (let ting ready to build the home requires time in many instances. After the site is secured and the prospective builder has reached the point when he will enter into the contract for the erection of the home, then comes the time to select the design of house that Is wanted. Ideas of what is ideal in a home are us varied as taste in dress. Some build ers would have nothing but a bunga low, while others would have anything hut a bungalow. A great number of builders, however, have fixed upon the stucco house as the most attractive in exterior appeurance and select a design for this type of house. It is to this class of prospective builders that the house shown in the accompanying illustration will appeal. Here is a stucco house that will give the builders about the maximum amount of home for his money. It Is of frame construction, with stucco ap plied to either wooden or metal lath, forts that the American family wants, and ahso have combined these com forts and conveniences with exterior beauty. However, what appeals to one prospective builder will not appeal to another, and by securing a lurge number of designs practically every Individual will find just about the sort of home he has visualized as be ing the kind he wants. To secure home-building Ideas a visit to the local architect, the lumber and muteriul dealer, and the contrac tor who will be asked to bid on the building job w ill be worth while. These building specialists all have available a wide range of homes, both perspec tive view and floor plans. With these pluns before them, prospective build ers will be able to select the home thnt meets his requirements and can be built for the amount of money he wants to invest. But in going over these plans it will surprise anyone how much real enjoyment he will get. Home building now Is popular be cause it is the best and practically the only means of securing a comfortable. i Garments Modeled by Male Tail YOUTHFUL SUIT FOR MILADY I ors in Greater Demand. Already the showcases In ribbon de partments prophesy the coming of the holidays, for a lot of new und beau tiful articles for wear and for house hold use have made their appearance. Lingerie ribbons, hnir bows, shopping bags and many other kinds of bags, slippers and sashes are always in de mand. but they grow In Importance with the approach of the holidays, since nothing Is liked better for gifts. This year wilt see them more popular than ever because they are less extrav agantly priced than other gifts that hare equal charm. All women like pretty furbelows and therefore they choose them ns gifts for their friends. The pretty lingerie bows, garters, rosettes, clasps, sachet and powder bags— and other bits of finery made of ribbons require time und palus'sklng care and these add more value to exquisite little gifts than can be measured In dollars and cents. A few of the novelties which will figure in this year's holiday dis plays are shown in the picture above. At the center of the group there is a shower rosette made of narrow satin ribbon, usually in pink, but pretty in any light color. The rosette Is made of many knotted loops varying in lengta. with Ihe short ones at the cej> ter. These, with a few short ends, are sewed together at the base of Ilia loops. Eleven pieces of ribbon, also of unequal length, and each having a little bow at one end. are sewed to tha buck of ihe rosette, wldch Is then fas tened to a medium-sized safety pin. This rosette Is to he used on a night Cress or petticoat where It is pinned to place when wanted. Two pairs of garters are shown, each made of a plain satin ribbon shirred to a flat elastic hand. Each of tha garters at the left Is ornamented with a double bow of ribbon In which a rib bon pansy Is set and two buds. The pansy is painted at the center. The garters at the opposite si.de are finish ed with small clusters of ribbon flow ers. The group includes little rosettei of ribbon with tiny ribbon or chiffon roses at the center, each fastened to a small safety pin. These are used wherever needed, ns on the shoulders — Instead of clasps. For Evening Gowns.

Being rectangular in shape, it is the least expensive to construct. But by the addition of the sun parlor at one side, and the garage ut the other, It has a well-balanced, attrac tive appearance, enhanced by the pan eled effect in the gable. The dimensions of this house are only 26 by 36 feet, but it requires a lot 60 feet or more wide, as the sun par lor projects 10 feet at one side and the garage 20 feet at the other. How ever, the garage may lie located at the rear of Ihe house, or may be smaller, as this was designed to hold two cars. The advantage of having the garage adjoining the house is that the heat ing plant in the home may be used to warm the garage, which is well to do, as it prolongs the life of the tires and makes the machine available at all times. While the home as shown in the il lustration is set on a brick foundation, concrete may be used. The basement extends under the whole of the bouse, Including the sun parlor. The size of the basement provides plenty of spuee convenient ami attractive place in which to live. Rentable houses are scarce, and the person who moves now adays is glad to get any sort of shel ter. That is where the home builder is better off thuu the renter. BEWARE OF INEFFICIENT MEN Supposed Interpreter, Unable to Inter pret, Fails to Save Countryman From Prison Term. A. It. Hawley, president of the Aero club, told in New York the other day an inefficiency story. “Beware of the ineflicient man,” he said, “for if you have dealings with him It is you, not he, that will suffer from the inefficiency. “A foreigner in outlandish garb, claiming to be an Armenian, came here to solicit funds last year for his compatriots. It happened that another Armenian was arrested at the time, and the first chap was asked to go to court and act as his interpreter. “Well, he reluctantly consented to net, though the truth was that he knew no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he stalked into the courtroom, listened in grave silence to the prisoner's passion ate protestations of innocence, and then turned to the judge and said in a low voice: “ ‘Your honor, my compatriot has confessed all. He begs yon, however, to be lenient for suffering Armenia’s sake.’ “The Judge thanked the Interpretei warmly'for his services and then sen tenced the Innocent prisoner to five years at hard labor."

It was the dedication of a monument tc commemorate Robert Vaughn, who, in 1868, plowed the first furrow In the county.
