exchange 1t for another. The plan already,
1t Is said. has proved very popular.
England seems to have awakened to the
necessity of procuring suitable and attrac-
tive homes for the working man, and In
Hertfordshire near London, this summer a
unique exhibition of small cottages was
held. Prizes were offered for buildings of
special type, and instead of the usual plans
and pictures, the actual structures them
selves were required from competitors. The
showing was interesting, but it Is said not
altogether satisfactory; the tendency be-
ing toward forced picturesqueness rather
than simplicity and utility. A little of this
spirit might without HARM we are led to
believe, influence the builders of operatives
homes in many of our small manufacturing
towns. LEILA MECHLIN.

All women wear mems pants in Cham

II Is an ideal valley of equal rights for
the two sexes-for you will perceive that
wearing pants has something mystical, oc-
Guilty powerful, something that draws with
It a whole train of equities that had been
lost for aeons. 1t is not that Mother Pal

and tell the lucky youngster in place of CO.
quettishly attending till his heart-and eyes
shall open. Girls have done that at home.
No. The moral atmosphere of Champery
breathes the equality of the two sexes IN a
way that makes these details, interesting
in themselves seem futile, and l can assure
who flock in the smart new hotels that are

In 1881 Cbampery had a population OF
