BOOKS FOR HOME BUILDERS.
An Attractive and Suggestive List
Issued by Public Library.

The District Public Library is now dis
tributing copies of very useful and at
tractively printed pamphlet, entitled
Books for Home Builders" This booklet
consists of a list of about fifty carefully
selected books devoted 10 house plans.
the planning and equipment of the house.
It's interior furnishing and decoration,
and the gardens and grounds surround
ing the house. Each title is followed by
a brief note descriptive Of its contents.
The list was compiled at the Public Ii
brary In response to the constant re-
quests for such literature from the very
large number OF citizens who are plan
ming to build or are building their own
homes.
Owing to it's limited funds the library
was unable 10 meet the expense OF print
ing the list II was found possible, how
ever, 10 have it printed without expense
TO the library by one of the largest firms
of the country engaged in making paints
and varnisheS. AS a result the list is
issued In an especially attractive style.
Moreover not only will 1t be distributed
in Washington. but the local institution
has induced several large public libraries
of other cities to distribute il to their
readers.
In addition to books the list mentions
twenty-five current magazines on archi-
lecture and decoration that are regularly
on file at the Public Library. The list is
for free distribution at the library, or

ARRANGING FLOWERS.
Small, Loose Bouquets More Eject
i've Than Compact Masses.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
When cutting flowers cut TWO Of white
for every colored one. Blue with green is
dull; add white. and il becomes exquisite
Red or scarlet is glaring until toned with
white. Yellow looks well with green alone.
but the beauty and delicacy Of ali pink
flowers are multiplied by combining them
with white ones.
But not all kinds Of flowers have white
blossoms. and what becomes of the old
rule that only one kind OF flower should
be used in a bouquetg' do you ask? No
matter what becomes OF the rule. II is
true that flowers having a distinct and
strong individuality. such as dahlias.
gladioli6 lilies. roses. &c, look best in
company with their own kind. But many
beautiful and fragrant blossoms are less
clannish, lending themselves readily 10
graceful combinations
II is a sorry fact that not one vase in
ten was made 20 hold flowers, and not
one person in tea knows il. The common
est form of vase. large OF body and hav-
ing a short, narrow neck, is designed
simply as a mantel ornament. One can
not put into il enough flowers TO balance
the size OF the vase.
A highly ornamented vase requires tire
some choosing OF eolors that harmonic
with its own, a process altogether too
much like shaping the person to fit the
dress. Clear glass holders are the best.
Opaque green vessels come next.
Nothing shows flowers better than q
basket; nor is there any reason why these
should be monopolized by florists. They
are not expensive. pretty ones costing
from . cents to 81, lined with tinfoil and
moss. But the wet moss lets the flowers
Wither too soon.
Many small bouquets and fewer larger
ones would give US more satisfaction.
There are times and places where flowers
in masses are appropriate. but flowers
in the home should be restful and lovable;
and TO this end give every blossom plenty
OF room TO show its graces. II the usual
bunch OF tightly packed blooms were
divided into three, it would give three
times the pleasure Twenty pansies are
all a leaf-lined saucer can well hold:
crowded closer, they lose their individual
ity and become a shapeless cOIored
biotch. Indeed, 10 give each blossom its
full share OF water, room. and admira-
tion no bouquet should exceed twenty
blossoms, unless IL be in a very large
jardiniere and used for color effect in
decoration.

AMERICA LOSES CHINA'S TRADE.
Value of Exports Has Declined
SI5.OOO.OOO.

The value of the United States export
trade TO China has been sinking gradually
in the last five years. but the end Of the
present year is expected 10 show the
lowest total for many years. according
TO a bulletin from the Department or
Commerce and Labor, issued yesterday.
From a maximum OF about SIS, 10000 in
1905, exports TO China have declined 10
approximately sl5.500OO0. which is the
total estimated for the present year, end
ing next month.
The falling of in the value OF Ameri-
can exports TO the Celestial empire oe-
ours chiefly in cotton and mineral oils
The decline in the cotton trade is at
tributed to the fact that cotton produc
ton recently has been stimulated IN
China, and large quantities Of cotton
yarn were secured from India, owing 20
the advances in the price OF American
raw cotton. Mineral oil sent 10 China
showed a decline in value, but an actual

aggregated s70,0O0 600, and for the nrne
months ended with September, S6l3. 0OO.-
600. an average OF SIS, 100000 per month
for that portion OF the year for which
figures are now available. Should this
average be maintained during the re-
mainder of the year, an expectation
which seems quite justified. the total
value OF exports of manufactures in the
twelve months ending with December
will be over $500 600 coo.
The figures thus far show a large gain
over those OF last year in both classes
Of manufactures. The group, ''manufac-
lures ready for consumption" shows for
the nine months of the present year a

Manufactures are the only important
class OF exports which show a material
gain in 1910 compared with 1909. Exports
Of foodstuffs in a crude condition in the
nine months ending with September. 1910,
show a total of but $50, 100000, against

the same months of last year, the growth
is 10y no means as large as that in
