 Strips of metal laths were nailed on the porch and two coats of ce-

 Fall Best Time for Concrete Work The work was done in the fall and the cement took longer to dry than if put on during the summer It was a fortunate happening. as the builder learned later that cement house is better when built in the fall It has more time to knit before drying If built in the summer this is not

TRANSFORMS SHACK
 INTO A FINE HOUSE
Builder Uses "Overcoat" on Old, Di-
 lapidated Dwelling

In one of the suburbs of Chicago there is house which. in general appearance is the equal of its neigh bors. which cost S3,G00 or more each. yet the owner spent just S175 Tn it's obstruction. Ii is ar example of an inexpensive concrete dwelling that will solve -he home building question for many f they will stu1y the method and art willing to put in sore hard work with a small amount of money.
 The house is no different in ap- pearance from the houses in the fashionable home colony, yet it has cost only an eighteenth of the price of the former house. Of course, the ground is not included in the cost only the building is considered The house was originally an old shack that had been left to ruin for want of a little care. Many boards in the walls of the house had fallen off and those that remained were so warped from the weather that day light could be seen between them Several had big knot holes in them.
 House Badly Diapidated
 The boards were all put back in place and the building was made as tight as it was possible to make it with lumber that had turned gray from long exposure to the weather. It was a sorry sight and nobody could see how anything could be made out of the old building except to build it anew. Every puff of wind that swept through that part of the country went clean through the house there were so many gaping cracks and holes in it's walls. But the rem ovator had long before conceded that the house had seen it's last day as a frame building.
 He planned to make a concrete house. using the old walls as a foun- dation With this object in view he nailed metal lathing all over the weather beaten house. The lath- ing was about eighteen inches wide and about nine feet long. The strips were nailed securely to the studding and the nails bent and pounded down securely on the inside Covered with blue metal strips it looked worse
 than ever and nobody expected any thing would come of the undertak- ing.
 On the lathing coat of cement plaster was spread It was put on with a heavy hand and it resembed one of those mud houses down on the sunny stretches of Mexico. The sur face was lumpy and coarse. To make it rougher block of wood with several wire nails driven through it was jerzed back and forth over the surface.

 OF TOWN MAR|NET1E

Marinette; which is located seven miles beyond Glendale on the Santa Fe railroad, is rapidly becoming plac- ed upon the map. R. F. Shaffer of Peoria, is erecting a two-story brick business block. MT. Shaffer will enter the mercantile business at Marinette.
 A neat cottage home that is in course Of construction and now near ly completed, is that of Charles An drews, general superintendent of the Marinette Land Company.
 One of the recent arrivals that will do much to help the Marinette pro- ject is J. Down, a well-knoWn base ball man of Chicago. MT. Down is one of the Cubs utility players He has purchased a ten-acre tract, five acres of which has just been planted to navel orange trees. MT. Down will set the other half of his tract to grape fruit trees.

that was put into the cellar s46 was paid The cement, nails and metal lathing used on the body of the house cost $S2 and the material for the porch cost S45. On the store house in the rear of the dwelling, a building twelve by twenty, $21 was spent on material, which included cement, sand nails and lathing. With the cement and sand left over walk leading to and around the house was built With this included, the entire improvement cost less than $200; in other words, a dilapidated building was made not only habitable but at tractive for this small sum.-Cleve- land Leader.

kEN|LWORTH'S
 COMPLETION
Is Looked for at An Early Date; Houses Are Build ing All Aver Attractive New Subdivision to City of Phoenix.

Building activities in Wentworth indicate the early completion of quite 6 number of houses in the addition. Houses are in all stages Of construc- tion. from breaking ground for new ones to the finishing touches in read mess for anxious house owners.
 No addition to Phoenix offers the higher class modern homes that are found in Wentworth. The street car running through the tract makes it close to the business part of the city with high class residence advantages
 The cement walks are being laid on Willetta street and the northern part of the addition is rapidly being improved to equal the south haE of the tract.
 The Southwestern Building and In vestment company is having walks put down in the south of block 20 which is juts a half block from the capitol building.
 They are to commence, next week. two modern houses on this property and quite a few lots are being pur- chased with the intention of build ing homes.
 The brick work on Mrs. Kavan- augh's house on the corner of Roose- welt street and Seventh avenue. will be commenced the first of this week The Southwestern Building & h. Testment company has erected. on the back of one of the Wentworth lots an office for it's superintendent c Eagan. that he may be near the houses under construction and they expect to build many houses in that I tract and headquarters with tee- i phone connection will save many 1 steps.

always likely, as the hot sun dries the cement before it has time to set tie.
 The building finished, it was the admiration of every one who saw it. The change was remarkable and it demonstrated that a substantial home was fithin the reach of almost every man. This house is two stories high and measures about twenty by forty. It has cellar which was also treat ed to several coats of cement plas- ter. three large rooms on the first floor and two on the second floor.
 The remaking of the house and the building of the porch cost $173, ex- elusive of labor. For the material

DRESDEN IDEAS COME BACK
Revival 10 Natural Result Of the
Fad That Calls for tho Pan.
nIer Draperies.

With the revival of the pannler
draperies comes back a decided EN-.
phasis on dresden silks, with all the
exquisite colorings that We associate
with the Dresden shepherdesses. Pinks
and blue. yellows and pale green are
the backgrounds on which are
sprinkled fascinating bouquets. gar
lands and even baskets Of flowers.
The dresden silks and satins are
particularly adapted to suit the
coatees that are incorporated on after
noon and evening frocks for summer.
They are not SO striking In contrast
with q plain. thin fabric and there Is
great scope for color combinations and
flower effects.
The rose season, SO noticeable in
fashions for the summer. is a timely
one for lowered mulls. organdies, mus
dresden silks effectively combine.
Hats covered with dresden taffeta
are decidedly chic. Bridesmaids now
are favoring hats OF this type to con.
tinue the idea Of the dresden coatee
thrown over simple and disable frocks
Of white or plain colors.
Little dresden silk slippers for the
rest hour add new touch to the
negligee set, especially II bindings or
trimmings Of dresden silk be used on
the gown.
Dresden sashes. with an extra line
OF the ribbon quilting trailin. in and
out among the punches OF flowers. are
accepted by womankind rs an idea
that makes the assurance OF beauty
doubly sure.
1t Is undeniable that the dresden col.
orings In designs that are varied and
inexpensive are a factor in the general
beauty of summer styles. Are you
using them?

WITH THE PARTISAN SANCTION
Though No Longer In the
Greatest Vogue.

The fancy for the position hat has
been short.lived 10 far rs Paris Is con-
cerned. and London never greatly
cares for millinery which the Paris
icnne accepts as bien amusante. More
or less curly Of brim. and with tall
stift crown. these hats trimmed with
feather en- fantastic or q floral
aigrette had brief furore. and GER
tainly when new they were most ap-
pealIng. They could not. however.
bear repetition. and since people have
taken to wearing them they have lost
their attraction. For once the French
woman seems to have forgotten that
the fact Of n hat being chic when worn
by n woman OF one type may make
1t impossible for those who belong to
another.
This style Of hat Is. however, being
made for autumn. and milliners are
looking favorably upon its possibilities

But what can you do, child?'
queried her sister. "You have never
learned anything but housekeeping
well enough to teach It. and nobody
wants lessons at that"
well I might at least keep some
body's house."
"Oh Jocelyn. Is It not better to
starve respectfully than to go out as
q common servant"
ut certainly Is not. I have a good
healthy appetite every day of my
life. and intend to do my best to

which Providence intended me to

"Where do you expect to find such

Now my great secret shall be d.
vulged.' Jocelyn answered trium.
phantly. II had long talk with Mrs.
Derment before she returned to the
city this fall. and she quite approved
OF my idea. In her letter which came
today she says that dear friend Of
hers is in such poor health that she
is no longer able to look after house
hold affairs. but cannot bear to think
Of giving up her home. Mrs. Der.
ment told her about me. and was au-
thorized to make me a proposal. The
salary is generous. and she Is sure
will like Mrs. Norton. So can you
suggest any reason why should re.
fuse such an offer?"
Miriam only gasped. as she gazed
into the eager face of her energetic
young sister.
"You dear old Miriam-you Just
can't help knowing that 1t is the very
best thing on earth I could do. You
can live here in peace and comfort
and come over to see me II you get

lonesome. I have kept the best part Of
It till the last-Mrs. Norton lives
over on the highlands. only thirty
minutes on the trolley"
Relief succeeded dismay in
Miriam's eyes. THAT will be con.
venient to have you SO near at hand.
I was beginning to wonder how
could exist with you away OF where
I could never see you. You are a
brave child. and I believe you could
not help succeeding at whatever you
undertook"
The week following. Jocelyn Newell
started for the Norton home to as.
sumo her duties as its housekeeper.
Remember I shall come to see you
every Thursday afternoon" she
called back to Miriam. as tho big
suburban trolley started.
Jocelyn received cordial welcome
from Mrs. Norton who had taken q
liking to her young housekeeper at
their first meeting. II am so glad
that am to have someone who can
take charge OF everything" she said
with a relieved sigh. "Now I can
rest in peace. and rest seems to be a
perpetual demand with me nova

ed before you know It. I am going
to see that you do get well-that Is
one OF my duties as housekeeper."
and Jocelyn's cheerful voice gave
her employer a pleasant thrill.
Mrs. Norton was alone. and her III
health was largely the result OF sor.
row over the loss OF both her hus.
band and an only daughter. Her in.
terest in life seemed dead. but the
presence OF her cheerful young house
keeper caused It to show faint flut.
terings OF life. and Us the months
passed she found that existence was
not after all an entire blank.
The two women became fond oil
each other for the girl made valIan,
efforts to interest and amuse her EN-
ployer; and great was her satisfac ton
when she saw in Mrs. Norton q
marked improvement both in health
and spirits.
The weekly visits to Miriam were
faithfully paid. and the elder sister
seemed cheerful and contented wher
they met; so 1t was a shock to Joce
