New Sofa Pillow Covers.

Fresh covers for ones, sofa pillows
are in order. There are any number Of
pretty materials at hand, in. cheap cot
tons. Some of the ginghams are dec
orative, altho one must buy the Scotch
ones to get really good combinations
n plaids. The domestic ones. with
broad stripes Of white or pink, blue
gray or OK blood, are very effective and
plain chambrays in blue, green or yell
low are satisfactory, the ordinary ones
more so than those which are mer-
cerized. Cross stripes of white braid in
two widths make these plain pillows
quite decorative. Another line >of
fabrics is found at the linen counters.
Some of the brown kitchen towelings
are wide enough for covers, and lend
themselves we'll to simple embroidery,
and there are glass towelings, with wide
stripes Of color, which are very pleas
ing. Russia crash Is delightful in tone
and texture, but is too narrow tho it
may be cut into strips catstitched to-
gether over colored lining. Isl
More pretentions are covers Of white
butchers linen, with insertions Of Cluny
lace, or Of brown linen with insertions
or medallions Of heavy lace, in the same
tone. Such covers as these are made
with fly to button on and removed
weekly to be washed, and need col
ored lining. Indeed it is best to make
all cotton covers detachable. -

HOW INNOCENTS SUFFER-
Wall Street Journal Warns Against
Uncertain Real Estate Deals.

One Of the dangers to the innocent
property buyer in cities that have real
estate booms is considered at some
length by the Wall Street j Journal. it
outlines conditions that often exist in
cities where people are land crazy and
are eager to buy property, Without deal
inb with reputable agencies, or careful
examination Of the papers that are
passed in the transaction. Altho boom
conditions do not obtain to any extent
in Minneapolis the editorial is pat for
local readers. IN
Says the Journal: cit might be in
order for the district attorneys Of cities
and towns, where real estate booms are
running riot, to inquire into the kinds
Of offerings, forms Of contract and
means Of attracting purchasers. There
is no doubt that q great many building
lots are sold on terms sof which the un.
sophisticated purchaser is not fully
aware. The practice, for instance, Of
buying a building lot and paying down
a given sum with a series Of periodical
payments to follow. without any pass
| ing of title or any trusteeship Of pay
ments for the protection of the purchas
er, is liable to great deal Of abuse
There is no lack Of victims TO this prae,

APARTMENTS RENT WE'LL
Experience Shows that Demand Is Good
for Upto-Date Homes.

Some light on the discussion as to
whether Minneapolis has an oversup-
ply of fiat and apartment buildings is
thrown by the experience Of the Yale
Realty company.
It has Just completed Casper Court
at 100 Spruce place, containing e1gh-
large building, but all the fats were
taken before the building was com
pleted, and they are all now occupied.
The building was put up by the, com,
pany for Mrs. s. E. Hooper and cost
about 100000. The rents are moderate
considering all conditions.
The rapidity with which leases are
being closed for another fat building,
the Hudson, at Fourth avenue and
Nineteenth street, which the Yale Re
atty company is, building for Mrs. Jes,
sic Falcoher, with it's early rental OF
the Casper building, leads real estate
men to the conclusion that the city is
growing so rapidly that moderate con
tinued building Of flats, and apartments
! will not create an oversupply.,
The Hudson is a sixteen hve-room
| fiat structure costing 100000. 1T will
be occupied by Sept. l:
The policy Of the Yale Realty. com
pany is to improve property that is not
ready for permanent building by struc
lures that will carry the fixed charges
It has Just finished and rented at once
six one-story brick stores at Fourteenth
and Hennepin. The buildings cost lit

themselves victims because Of the fear
Of troubla. They usually swallow their

"The swindling real estate concern
is one Of the greatest enemies to the i'm.

$ Some General Reasons. a.
First, it will appeal. to Minneapolis
people that it is better to#own home
| than to rent it because moving injuries
and destroys furniture; it .rears tramps
to move children so often; there is no
pleasure in a flower garden when one
! is planting for the next transient; a
vegetable garden is almost out of the
question in a rented yard; few rented
houses affard a chance for children to
play; rented homes are built to suit
owners, not occupants; landlords who
allow no children in flats are blessings
in disguise as no children can thrive
there; rented houses are divided into
two classes-the boxlike apartment ant
an old house in bad repair with unsan
itary plumbing and consequent BAG
health; if one improves rented house
it is soon sold. And last Of all, ana
most important, mother wishes to owl
a home. a
Another essayist gives as reaso,
for owning a home in Minneapolis tina
buying a home is superior to life in
surance as father can enjoy the hom
thru life and the family is provided
for after death; grown children like t.
be able to point out the home of child
hood; married men owe it to thei
wives and children to own homes; un
married men should own q home. a
they could then get a wife; a. ma
carrying life insurance will general
advise his wife to buy home with til
policy proceeds; a homestead canno
be attached for debt; home-owner en-
ployees have no strikes. sH~,'.~1 -
