This class appeals to me and I would
like to see them better housed, and l
know it is quite within reason to ex-

Another thing notice in travelling
about is the attention given to flowers
and shrubbery. No house is complete
without some outside ornamentation-
A great advantage of living in a small
place is the amount of ground that Is
available and the freedom to plant and
grow flowers and shrubs. The plain
est house may be made attractive with
Dutchman's pipe vine and Virginia
creeper, or even a wild grape vine, il
the vines are thrifty, properly trimmed
and arttistically trained. Fortunately
we have many hardy vines that al
most care for themselves after the first
year OF two. The ones mentioned are
especially valuable for this reason.
If this house is built with the din
ing-room side to the west, a couple of
lengths of woven wire fencing may be
hung from the gable over the double
dining-room windows and the window
in the bedroom above A Virginia
creeper will soon get to the top Of this
wire trellis and form a welcome screen
from the afternoon sun in summer. In
the winter when the sunlight is wanted
in the rooms the leaves are OF, and the
vine with its open trellice support
makes little OF no shade. Vines trained
in this manner do not damage the
house and the vines themselves do bet
ter than when tackled to the siding as
we often see them.
This kind of decoration requires the
attention of a man. A woman can
