The city housekeeper who must stay
In town all summer does not bother
with draperles. Her sole need is air
and If she be sensible she sticks to
undraped windows and doors. For
the suburban and country house, how
ever, curtaining is all important,
Never has the choice Of these been
wider or more artistic than this sea-
son, and the woman who must recur-
tain her house or furnish a new one
Is to be enyied,
In selecting summer curtains two
things are important: The fabrics
chosen must be cool and fresh looking
and they must be washable. Heavy
draperies are inartistic, because they
are inappropriate. This eliminates
brocades, silks and satins, yelyets and
wool
In curtaining a summer house
choose nothing that will be ruined by
open windows. Where double cur.
tains are used they should be easily
manipulated on the rods,
Unless a bedroom has plenty Of win
dows double curtains should not be
used, Some housckcepors prefer the
cretonne or chintz sash curtains
These hang to the sin and work loose.

PLANNING FOR A MODEL CITY
Cooperative Commonwealth 10 TO Be
Established on Land Near
Los Angeles, Cal.

Equal division of the fruits of labor
is to be the chief object Of a model
city, where It Is claimed the cost OF
living and amusement will be reduced
more than one-third, that Is planned
by a number Of German residents who
are now collecting a fund with which
to purchase a tract Of land on which
the scheme is TO be launched. The
society promoting the plan is the Co
operative Fellowship OF Los Angeles,
and Is the first Of It's kind to be or
ganized on the Pacific coast The
primary step Of the organization as
explained by Secretary Max Guenther
recently, includes the purchase OF u
tract Of land near Los Angeles where
the Industrial and residence center is
TO be established. Upon this land Is
to be built a city composed Of work
ers, each Of which will have an equal
opportunity OF sharing In all profits
from all Of the cooperative places or
business that are to De established.
These cooperative stores viii include
every necessity Of Hre, including all
foodstuffs, fuels and clothing, which
is to be sold at a price that covers
only the cost and maintenance Of tho
establishments. The third step In the
organization Of the city IS the cstab-
llshment Of bank This institution
will be opened on the plan Of scrip
or moneypaying basis, and the scrip
is to be negotiable at any Of the COM
munlty stores, and all profits Of the
institution are to be applied In tho
conduct Of the community stores, All
real estate Is 10 be held by the cor
poratIon during It's existence, regard

WOMAN SWEARS SHE KNEW
RICHESON AS MORMON ELDER
Has Given Him the Signs in Boston and They
Were Always Answered, She Claims Saw
Him at Conference

Boston, May 7.-Clarence V. T. Rich
eson, under sentence Of death for the
murder of Miss Avis Linnell, has been
Mormon elder and secretly connect
cd with the Mormon organization for
several years although preaching from
a Baptist pulpit, according to sworn
statement just made before william a.
Thibodeau, an attorney and justice of
the peace. The author OF the affidavit.
Mrs. Louis e. Britain. claims to have
been formerly connected with the
Mormon Church and to have been a
celestial wife of a New York man. who
is at the head Of the Mormon organi-
zation in the East.
In the statement Mrs. Britain as
serts that she has known Richeson for
several years past, first meeting him
three years ago at n Mormon confer
ence held on Staten island. where she
| says the Baptist clergyman was re-
cognized as one OF the Mormon elders
and was particularly active In the az
fairs Of the conference. She has since
seen him many times in and about
Boston and has given him the Nor
mon signs which were always answer
ed. she claims. She says she attended
n Mormon conference at Providence
Il. l.. a little over year ago, at
which Richeson was present. and that
she received commands from him as a
Mormon elder at Boston gathering
OF the leaders OF the church.
I A short time ago Mrs Britain became
converted from Mormonism, she says, al
though for eight years previously she had
been aiding In the propaganda OF the
N-ormon Church In Boston and New Eng
land. According TO Attorney Thibodeau

Britain recently divulged to some OF hel
close friends her knowledge OF Richeson'i
alleged connection with the Mormon
Church. and she was prevailed upon Il
