The Empty Crate and
How to Decorate II

The majority Of present-day readers
are too youthful to remember the cry
about this time Of the year, Ornaments

Hawkers walked the streets carrying
before them, like 50 many aprons. smart
mats Of crinkled paper-white. green and
pink-decked out In valentine fashion
with stars and diamonds Of silver and
gold, and tufted with roses and daisies.
Those days with those particular orna-
ments for tho stove are gone by. but
there n still q need for decorating empty
CRATES. especially now that the spring
days are here.
Put up a square OF chicken netting or
wooden trellis in your crate and trail
over it ivy or any other creeping green
things that you have set underneath in
pots, and the effect will be charming
Have you guests coming to the luncheon.

Or why not put a handsome vase OF

In the crate and all 1t with sprays Of
laurel or other evergreens?
In some cases women are hanging
pieces Of brocade, tapestry. serge and
even chintz or cretonne to match their
furniture over low screens or else screens
minus dy1peries are set In front Of the

should send a wedding gift to the bride

relatives and close friends Of the bride

in this way, even II they were not invited
to the ceremony.

AN UNIQUE PLAN.

The state OF Massachusetts is about
to engage in novel home building
enterprise that will be watched with
interest by every other state in the
Union. The proposition now before the
Massachusetts legislature is to create
a homestead commission which shall
have the power to buy and sell lands,
build houses, negotiate loans from the
state treasury, and transact a real es-
tate business on large scale, for the
benefit of wage earners who wish to
acquire homes for, -themselvesror to

state and by the Legislative committee

project has an excellent chance Of
passage, and if such occurs. Massa-
chu3etts will stand out prominent in
a public welfare enterprise that is
unique. s@}
1t will take considerable money to
finance the plan, but already this diff
f1culty has been foreseen and provid-
ed COR. The savings banks of Massa-
chusetts will supply the cash. 1t is
provided that the commission shall
borrow from the state treasury as
much as $500, 900, and law in Mass
achusetts requires savings banks to
turn over to the treasury all money
