FASHION CALL FOR PAJAMAS Garment Gaining Favor for House Wear Instead of Room Robes; Got Over Footlights. The French fashion for wearing or- pate and brilliantly-colored pajamas in the house instead of room robes has been taken up in America. The fashion was exploited by the Stage and got over the footlights to the public. American. women, however, are adopting the Chinese costume, which they call By the name of pajamas. The loose trousers are laced in to fit the ankles, and the feet are slipped tnto gay Chinese slippers. There is & short tunic, in the Chimese manner, worn over the full trousers and often there is a sash in brilliantly-colored Chinese crepe. There's not a gulf of difference fixed between the modern skirt, with its wide hips and tight hem, and the with their fullness at the hips and their laced ankles. These costumes are made in taffeta, crepe georgette, and heavy white Chinese 11 v7ill be.givén at |* ‘PLANT “FLO , : .Now, Is the 'Best’ Timas'to: Pian snd’ -are absent. INDUSTRIAL VALUE OF HOME Well -Recognized That Ownership Makes for Highly Desired Stabil- . "Ity of Character. & ' Man’s greatest business in life is the business of living. And nothing comn- tributes so much to the success of this -business as does good housing. Civilization 1s built up on this lden.l The most progressive and civilized na- tions have been hest housed. ’ Today thé industrial value of home ownership is well recognized. It de- velops a-pride, a self-respect, a sta- bility of character that niakes the home owner the man to be desired. The man who can save and achieve a real haven to house his business of living has something that differenti- ates him from those not so fortunate. His credit is better, he is more highly regarded by the community, and he is the desirable citizen. Most homes must bq built on loans. As handled in. the past, the mortgage has been pictured a home wrecker, a dreaded something to harass a man’s old age. Todn,v the tendency is toward amor- | tization, which is a gradual paying oft | of the principal so that in time the home will be.free and clear. Amor- tlutlog removes the only drawback to the dtvniership of'a home. Whereas it 18 hard to save $4,000 to pay off in a lump sum, it is easy to pay $33 a month for ten years, plus $20 interest . charges, which latter decreasé§ every month! 'How many of us have bought things' on_the partial paymént plan, meeting the payments easily, and meanwhile enjoying the luxury.of péos- session? i Just so it is with a home.” .And pro- vided. it is located right, one or twe rooms can be rented that will cut the monthly payments in half. That fea- ture alone has proved the 'decldinig factor with many:iho desire ‘to be a regl success in-the business of livihg. But this home should be built to last, to be in as good condition when the payments are filnished as when they are started. That means spend- ing money where it doesn’t show—for a year or so. It means good pllmph- !ng. good heating, g‘ood. sound, timber framed by i buflder wortty of trust. by a“fan Whoke “bBid ingy "hot“be the lowest, but whose bid is bused on the ;king. -of - construction that will capst the home to stand up bravely agal¥ist he clomenig o tes thf usinesshoF fving: ¢ Work on the ¥mprovement of the . Home Groynds: G The appearance of “thé homie has’ much. to do: with 'its. utility ‘as well as- 1ts beauty. -A:home where there are flowers, trees, lawm, etc., seems more comfortable than where these things Such a home is always more satisfying, and that of course is a quality of utility. Fall is a good time to improve the yard; lawn and general appearance of the home. Late fall is a favorable time to transplant many biennials and perennials. Roses, “the queen of flow- ers,” may be set; other shrubs may be transplanted ; violets, bulbs of various kinds, sweet peas, etc., may be started for early spring blossoms. ¥ A little time:given to the yard and lawn now will be worth much to the appearance of your home next spring. Look over the yard and see what im- provements can be made. Doubtless you will fin@ that much can be done to make your home more attractive. Demand for Better Homes. The idea of good homes for wage earners ns u matter of public policy was widely advertised during the war and gained strong support. The ablest architects, engineers and landscapers assisted the government in housing plans. This has brought about an in- creasing national consciousness that every family should be provided with a habitation meeting at least the mini- mum requirements of sanitation and deecenty. Many soldiers who were | reared in city slums have returned with more personal dignity and no longer will stand for their former homes. They are persuading their families to remove to better neighbor- hoods. Flowers as Barometers. Many flowers are said to be excel- lent barometers. For instance, it is when the blooms, of dandelions have seeded and are in the fluffy, feathery condition, that the weather-prophet faculties come to the fore. In fine weather the ball expands to the fall, but when the rain approaches it shuts up like an umbrella. If the weather is inclined to be showery, it keeps shut gll the time, only opening when the dapger from the wet is passed. Always Cure in Rest. Sleep is the most perfect rest, of course, and sleep will ‘“cure” most diseases. That is, the person who sleeps Is going to recover, as a rule, for he is going to secure the rest that 18 essential to recovery. But the point is, the doctors ought to begin refus- ing to prescribe medicines for people unless they will agree to “take @& rest” for the medicines are ineffec- tive without rest.

National Tubdicilosts” Association, Which Sponsors the Annual Sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, Reports 150,000 Deaths Each Year From the Disease. People who live in the smaller towns and op farms have a great health ad- vantage over the city dwellers in that they have ever an abundant supply of fresh air and sunlight. These two gifts of nature, s0 lavish- 1y bestowed, are not always appreclat- ed to thelr fullest extent. They are two of the strongest weapons against the menace of tuberculosis, or con- sumption, as it is sometimes called. But ‘consumption is not unknown in. the rural districts.
