IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

How small Communities Can Be
Made Attractive.
An article on the identifying Of
towns and cities in the Municipal
World for October urges that towns
highest charm does not lie in palatial
dwellings or splendid public business
structures, but rather in the develop
ment Of it's natural advantages. ITO
city officials belongs the duty Of keep
ing the streets in good order, elilninat-
ing unsightly telephone and telegraph
poles and burying their wires, abolish
ing the smoke nuisance, taking care of
public buildings and their environs and
performing many other requirements
in the interest Of the towns conven-
fence, beauty and sanitation.
But everything must not be left to
town boards and councils. Every occu-
pant Of home, whether owned or rent.
ed, should feel under obligations to
keep it in good order SO that the I'M
sightliness Of house and grounds may
not be an eyesore to the public. In
most towns local improvement socie-
ties are doing much to promote the
beauty and healthfulness Of their neigh
borhoods, and by the aid Of these So
cieties many once unattractive coun.
try village has been made beautiful"

Plan to Promote Plant Culture.

Here is one Of Chicago's measures to
advance civic improvement:
Instruction to the public in congested
areas Of Chicago regarding the indoor
culture OF plants is to be supplied by
florists employed by the south park
board and also by means of pamphleta
on application. says the Chicago Trih-
une. This Is the result Of a resolution
introduced before the board by Com.
missioner Foreman as follows:
That garden boxes be provided for
the suitable window exposures In the
Neighborhood Center buildings and that
flowers and plants be maintained In
them throughout the winter.
That verbal and printed instructions
In indoor plant growing be provided for
the people Of the neighborheods to en-
courage them to grow flowers and
plants in their homes,

EFFECT OF GOOD ROADS.
How They Can Aid In the Develop

How They Can Aid In the Develop
mcut of IL Town.
The gcsd roads campaign now being
carried on is certain to be resultful Of
Great good. 1t is a movement that APP
peals to every citizen from the ham,
blcst to the highest and is vital cues
t!cn for the business man and the
farmer. The poor roads in many of tho
states both east and west, north and
SOUTH are denominations, ana annually
cost the people hundreds of millions Of
dollars in losses and in extra labor, not
taking Into consideration the humane
principles involved.
Business men Of every town should
give the good roads project the most
hearty support, says d. NJ. Carr In the
Home Trade Advocate. There Is no
better work for commercial clubs to do
than to put forth every effort to have
the roads leading to the home town a
model road. Often good road Is
either the making Of q town or Its OBJ
liberation from the list Of progressive
places. Every rural town is dependent
to a greater or less extent upon the
trade of the people residing in the near
by country. For any causc-and too
often poor road is the causc-if this
trade be diverted, the town suffers.
The proposed cooperation of the ma
tionnl government with the different
states in road Improvement and con-
struction should not be considered
lightly. 1t Is deserving Of the most sub
stantial support. In this matter every
political phase should be buried, and
united every class regardless of politi-
cal belief and utilization should urge
congress to take favorable action. The
millions that the proposed work will
cost will bear interest thousandfold.
Let every one feel that he is personally
interested in this movement and do his
part toward bringing about the desired
conditions which high class roads will
bring.

A typical handshaking Saturday was

On the whole the day was a mighty

with the handshaking We're conferences
on railroad rates, ship subsidy. post

A list Of the Presidents callers yester-

For Sweet ChaIity's Sake.

Perhaps the only indication OF the
approach of Lent is the Inauguration by
the various sewing classes of their ses-
sions. Although the work done Is for
the benefit Of some philanthroplc insti-
tuition or another, and the sweet cause
of charity furnishes a pretext for the
meeting. yet the latter are by no means
so solemn or serious as one might be
tempted to imagine from the fact that
they are described as 'Lenten sewing
classes" In fact they are the next best
thing 10 a Woman's luncheon party or
bridge party, and afford an agreeable
opportunity Of meeting ones friends and
acqUaintances and exchanging over a
cup OF tea or over a glass OF Madeira
and a pate de foie gras sandwich, the
gossip of the hour. the possible absence
of charity in the gossip beng more than
atoned by the feeling that no matter
what the lips may say the HANDS are
working for charity.
One OF the principal sewing classes is
that which works for the Nur. .ry and
Childs Hospital, and it viii hold its
first meeting on Friday next at the
house of Mrs. Henry r. Dimock. After
that there will be weekly meetings on
every Friday through Lent That on

the house Of Mrs. Alexander = Van
Nest. Another class is the Helpers, in
which Mrs Stuart Pullman West and
Mrs. Reginald Arnold are the leading
spirits. In fact, there are any number
OF these sewing classes, some of which
are as exclusive and as difficult of ac-
cess as the Union, the Knickerbocker,
and other of the leading clnhs
