THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.
One Described by Professor ZuebIin
During a Recent Lecture.

In a recent lecture Professor Charles
Zueblin said regarding the city Of the
future" IF we consider the expert
ence of the chief cities of today we
can choose from their successful mu-
nicipal undertakings examples which
would enable us to construct a compo-
site city and while unsatisfactory as
an ultimate goal 1t might furnish
convenient working ideal for the con
temporary city.
The streets of such composite
city would be broad, we'll paved and
clean, free from telephone and tele-
graph poles and lined with trees
There would be a comprehensive sew
erage system and a method of garbage
disposal. a public water supply would
include special provision for fire pro-
lection, fireDoat and pipe line system,
for street and sewer flushing, for baths
and swimming pools.
The public school buildings natural
ly form the chief architectural adorn-
ments of the city. They should be To-
Gated in the midst OF lawns and trees,
with provisions for Fairgrounds and
swimming pools. The curriculum
would include In addition to literary
and scientific branches kindergarten
and manual training, technical and art
instruction, trade instruction and COM
mercial preparation.
ITO these Improvements would be
added daily lunch. The community
would provide public Libraries, Of
which Massachusetts cities are the
chief examples.
These possibilities manifestly make
some demand upon the Imagination,
which may prove bewildering to the
hard headed citizen. The spasmodic
advance Of today is due largely to the
occasional triumph Of the Imaginative
official or public spirited citizen over
his shortSighted associates"

A few weeks before the old lady's
eighty-seventh birthday Thomas, who
had been overweighted with business
cares for years, started on a trip round
the world which was to consume two
years.
"Tve come to say goodby," he an

But Jimmy was not quite satisfied.

His father thought moment. "Why,
it's pretty hard to say, Jimmy" he re-

going and going forever. Here Is an

She took it off and buttoned the right
hand glove. Then she saw that in or

on the right hand one again. But she

but there is a right way. Just the
same, 70 do this work and a wrong way
OF doing It. There is, too, the POSSIBLE
fly Of Joining lace so that ii almost
conceaIs the joining. This Is managed
in several ways, depending upon the
kind OF lace and how it is used.
For yoke or other solid surface that
is to lie fat 1t is better to applique the
lace together. Cut out the design ir-
regularly and join it to the under piece
so that IL continues the pattern. The
edges are buttonholed. sewed or over
cast together. according 10 which stitch
shows the least. Do this with fine
thread and cut away all ragged edges.
Where lace is to be Joined for rufle
the best way is TO buttonhole tne edges
together in the tiniest possible seam.
Use a fine thread and do the stitching
neatly. This same method is often
used on yokes and for thin lace is per-
haps better than appliquing. Press the
edges open on the right side between
the thumb and first finger. so it does
not quicker.
Some persons lay the edges so that
the wrong side of the left side lies for
about a quarter Of an inch upon the
right side Of the under piece. Both
ends are then hemmed in tiny stitches.
This prevents seam, but is almost
impossible to do without showing.
