A LITTLE AMBIGUOUS

The Ingrahams were entertaining two
friends at dinner. After Mr.. Ingraham
had helped them to roast beef, he hap
pened to glance at the other end of the
table, where his wife sat, and observed
to his horror that the sugar bowl was
the old one, with both handles broken
off, that usually graced the dining
table on wash days.
In vain he endeavored, by mysterious
mods and winks, to direct Mrs. Ingra-
hams attention to it. She either did
not see or would not see the mutilated
piece of queensware, and his patience
gave way at last.
"Cornelia," he said, with some sharp
ness, "do you think we ought to use
sugar bowl when we have company
without ears on?"-Youth's Companion

FINISH FOR cHILDREN's CLOTHES

A neat finish for children's clothes Is
the half-inch braid with one edge a
firmly embroidered little scallop and
the other a selvage. 1t comes in all
white, in ecru and white, and in white
embroidered in pink, blue or red. This
braid makes a quickly applied band
for a sleeve or a neck, or it may be
used to finish a pettiocat ruffie. The
braids in colored embroidery are pretty
for dresses. The all white makes
good trimming for underwear.

equity perhaps twice or three times
the amount of your payment.
The exact terms upon which Home
Builders" will build for you can hardly
be stated because conditions vary, and
it is the purpose of this company 10
meet these conditions
Where the home buyer owns his or
her lot and it's location is in a good
neighborhood where values are grow
ing, one can figure on about 10 per
cent of the cost in cash; for instance,
you have a $2500 bungalow built, you
would pay Home Builders" $3.50 cash
and $25 monthly on the principal.
Home Builders" on its own ac-
count does not build homes and then
try to sell them, it only builds as its
customers contract. Occasionally 1t
builds for lot owners who are improv-
ing their vacant lots to sell, and, in
this way sometimes can put home seek
ers in the way of buying home all
complete and ready to move into and
which can be bought on easy terms,
but it's regular plan is that of a build
ing company.
The great value of Home Build
ers" plan for the home buyer is that
ne may select the section of the city
he wishes to live in. Home Build
ers" has no particular section to
which it must devote all of its EFFORT.

customers and when it pleases them
it pleases it's stockholders, for it counts
a satisfied customer as a valuable ad-
Vertisement.
Many home buyers are difhdent about
buying in sections where homes are
being built by wholesale and for sale
on easy terms, for they feel that the
method by which they must buy their
home is q sacred business affair of their
own, and does not concern anyone else,
hence, they fine Home Builders
plan ideal for their case. These cases
may be rare, but this phase of the
easy home buying business is an i'm
portant one nevertheless.
It is this broadly liberal plan which
has made home owning easy and com
Portable in this country.
The constant and rapid growth of
values throughout the city has elimi-
mated to both buyer and builder. The
security, which is increasing in value
all the time, makes home buying on
easy terms mutually profitable.
The wonderful development of South
ern California has only begun. This
land of homes will become the land
of more homes, until the whole valley
from mountain to the sea, will be one
vast city of happy homes-"Home
Builders" believes this thoroughly
and it has unbounded confidence,
packed by the knowledge that the
home owner and home lover Is the
real backbone of every community.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
The land of the home owner.

The ideal easy payment plan of buy
ing places a home within the reach of
almost everyone.
Southern California is called the land
out-of-doors Here come thousands
upon thousands for the one great pur-
pose of enjoying this neXt-to-nature
privilege.
1t seems almost paradoxical to say
in this same connection that these
same people own their own homes In
greater proportion, to the whole popu-
lation, than do the people in any other
city in the world, yet it is true.
The California bungalow and the
easy payment plan of buying is the
explanation.
A home in California has a peculiar
charm unlike any other section of this
great country
The mildness of the cline enables the
builder to save the enormous cost of
the eastern method of construction, and
thus he is able to put on the inside
of his home conveniences far above the
means of his eastern brother.
Take, for instance. a bungalow cost
ing $2500. The interior finish and ap-
pointments of such home would cost
perhaps $4,000 to build in the middle
west or east and, when 1t comes to
considering a bungalow costing from
$1,000 to $500, the comparison is away
and beyond the possibilities of the
home buyer in those sections.
OF the beauty and fascination of
charmingly situated California bunga-
low we need not speak, because every
Southern California reader of this mag
aZine is familiar with and enthralled
by it.
To the reader who yearns for home
on his own account comes the good
message of cheer-that here in this
land he can satisfy his home hunger.
Since the writer is connected with
Home Builders" of 129 South Broad
way, he will be pardoned for using this
progressive concern as an illustration
in pointing out its plan of home build
ing on easy payments as an answer
to the question of the would-be home
owner, How may 1 buy and pay for
my home on easy payments?'
We will suppose that you want TO
own your own home and stop paying
rent. 1t may be that you have been
paying on lot and have it all or only
part paid for. You come to Home
Builders" and they appraise your lot
or your equity in it.
Together you choose the style of
house you need and like, and then
Home Builders" figure the cost of
building TINS mouse LOT you anu "hei
you have agreed on the price and
terms, you pay your first payment,
then Home Builders workmen go to
work and in very few weeks you are
living in our own home.
Instead of paying rent you are now
paying payments each month to
Home Builders" In the course Of
time you have your home improved
with flower, vine and tree, and as the
months slip by you begin to realize
that your payments are materially re-
ducing your Indebtedness and that you
have an equity in charming little
home, materially enhanced in price be-
cause of it's own improvement and
the building of other homes in your
neighborhood.
These regular monthly payments are
going into your own pocket which, with
the growth in value. makes your real

Relief Parties To
Search In Canada

NEW YORK. Oct 24.--Relief parties
are being organized to search In the
Canadian wilds for Alan r. Hawley
and Augustus Post, the New York aero
nauts who acted as pilot and aide, re-
spectively. Of the America H., the only
one Of the 10 balloons that started
from st. Louis week ago In the In
ternational balloon race which has not
been reported
William Hawley, brother Of Alan
Hawley. and e. N. Stoddard, an inti-
mate friend, are ON their way to Otta-
wa. following dispatch from st. Louis
last night that II was rumored that
the America ii. had landed north Of
Kiskisink, Quebec. In the wilds or st.
Johns lake district.
These men will conduct an expedi.
ton into the surrounding wilderness In
the hope of finding the missing aero.
nauts. The rumor OF the landing of
the America ii. has 30 far failed OF
substantiation. Other relief expedi-
tons will make a thorough search OF
the trackless wastes that IL Is believed
the America ii. has made.
Ae-onauts May BE Drowned.
There Is only one other explanation
for tho lack Of word from Hawley and
Post, and that II that their balloon
may have dropped into Lake Huron, In
which event the aeronauts were proba-
bly, drowned. All the balloonists
were supplied with pink stamped
envelopes, which they were In
structed to drop at frequent inter
vals during their cruising. The fac.
that no envelopes have been received
from the America III. Is taken as proof
that the balloon sailed over an inacces-
sibie territory.
Cortland +. Bishop. president of the
Aero Club Of America. still clings to
the hope that the Americas aeronauts
are safe, basing this report upon the
well-known carefulness and skill OF
Hawley and Post.
n Hawley and Post have landed. II
is feared that they still will be beset
by the greatest danger. The country
beyond kiskisink IL filed with wolves
and other beasts Of prey, and neither
OF the aeronauts carried weapons.
Daniel c. Nugent. one OF the COVER
nors of 81. Louis Aero club, wired to-
day to the Aero Club of America that
he saw no reason for anxiety regard
ing Hawley and Post.
