PLASTER HOUSE Is
PRODUCT OF TROPICS
Stuceo Houses, Built ali Over County,
Lack Environment for Which
They Were Made to Fit.

There is an exotic look about many
stucco and plaster houses built in many
parts OF the world today; and II IL be-
cause the plaster house il really . prod
uct OF the tropics transplanted. When
1t Is built in colder climates II lacks the
environment which it was made to it.
and. therefore. lacks something essen
tiaL
Take a plaster cottage on the bleak
New England seacoast or q stucco cabin
In a Western desert, or q plaster and
stucco house in any of hundred suburbs
in temperate climes. They do not look
as II they belonged where they are. And
this 10 the reason:
They look bare.
In their native home, the tropics. they
are covered with vines and hidden with
shrubs a few months after they are
built. and the comfortable covering which
Mother Nature gives them soon cloaks
their baroness. They Immediately be-
come a part Of the landscape. just as
frame houses merge with the trees about
them. The stucco bungalows of Cali
fornia. covered with roses and Towering
shrubs, looked as II they had stood
where they stand since the beginning OF
civilization.
So the thing for the owner Of q stucco
or plaster house to do is to plant quick
growing vines and shrubs about II. and
so acclimatize II. Hardy evergreens
banked at the corners will help make
the house look comfortable in the win
ter; in the summer honeysuckle, ram
bier roses. hollyhocks. weiselia, and
other quick-growing vines and shrubs
asd plants can be used to make the
stucco house feel at home.

HOW GRANDMOTHER
MADE A ROSE JAR

Gather a quantity Of roses on fine, dry
days. q, Remove the petals till you have
obtained about half a peck Of them. Take
q large china or glass bowl and put .
handful of table salt at the bottom. then
handful Of rose petals, more salt. and
20 on till all the petals are used. scatter
ing salt on top. Let this remain nve
days, stirring and turning 1t twice day.
Add three ounces Of coarsely powdered
allspice and two ounces Of braieed stick
cinnamon. This forms the stock. Allow
1t to remain q week, turning II daily
from bottom to top. Then put into the
permanent jar or bowl one ounce OF all
spice, and, adding the stock layer by

ture: One ounce Of cloves, one ounce

Among the novelties in mirrors are
some of rectangular or oval shape fanci-
fully framed in silver or gold-plated
metal in old FIorentine styles.
Especially attractive are the triple
mirrors which are almost necessity to

sides as well as the front OF her nat
Some of these are framed in dull glit
or nickel, others are elaborately chased
or engraved. and others are of carved

Handbag mirrors of various sizes are
framed lightly with nickel. silver. or gilt

STAY-AT-HOME GIRLS
SHOULDHAVE ALLOWANCE
IF Parents Object to Daughter Earning None,
They Should See that She Has Enough
II to Meet Her Needs.

with a never-ending explanation Of petty
demands upon her purse. II father and
mother insist that she spend her time
and energies at home the should also
see that she is given a definite allowance
which will meet the demands upon her.
Aside from the fairness of the thing.
parents owe it to a daughters possible
future as a wife and mother to give her
a chance at financial management. How
in the world does father ev-. hope to
have his daughter learn the value Of
money IL he holds so tight a rein on his
purse-strings that she has no chance to
handle even that for her own personal
wardrobe?
Should Have m Allowance.
When she is just a wee grille the
daughter of the house should have her
own allowance, small of course. to ac-
cord with the number of her years and
the limitations of her experience. but
enough to- keep her even as a child from
feeling cheap when her little friends
treat" or when small needs arise Of
whatever nature. II she is given a def
mite amount, and is taught that extrava-
gance will mean her own self-denial she
will learn to apportion 1t out to her sew
eral needs so that it will last until next
pin-money day comes around.
nc sHc SiONs OIutT, IL ldtHeE Will IN
crease the amount according to his
means and her needs. he will find when
she is grown that she not only knows
how to spend carefully. but how to man
age her allowance with wisdom. In ad-
dition to all this. 1t enhances a girls self
respect. gives her a certain poise. self
reliance, and judgment.
/ dare say IL you will take the trouble
to get down to the secret of why so
many girls whose parents are in COM
Portable circumstances insist upon earn
ing their own money. you will find the
reason Just the one against which Jane
SO bitterly complained.
And II the parents who do not wish to
see their young daughters battle in the
business world for living will sit down
and try for just little hour to put them
selves in their daughters shoes, and will
afterward tell the truth about the mat
ter, / believe that they would all admit
it to be a pretty calling thing for a
grown girl to be forced to give an ac-
every penny of that last so cents he gave
h r. and then agree with me that fewer
sullen, discontented girls would live at
home if father and mother showed some
financial appreciation Of the contribution
of daughters brain and Drawn to the
running of the home machine.
II you happen to be one of those moth
ers who is bitterly opposing her young
daughter in her desire to earn money,
try the regular allowance for her at
home. and just see il she will not gladly
embrace the opportunity TO stay there.

Dear Kiddie Kids: I suspect that most
of you who read the Corner have taken
drawing lessons in school, and that you
will know quite well how to enlarge
simple patterns and still keep the right
proportions.
The sideboard pictured here is made
by cutting, folding. and pasting card
board or heavy paper, and I am sure you
will agree with me that 1t Is very neat
1t is easy to make, too. and I, would
suggest that you enlarge the diagram
about three times.
When your drawing is completed. cut
where the heavy lines are. Then fold
wherever there are dotted lines. The two
lower sections that are marked with
crosses must be folded under the front
and pasted to 1t and the corresponding
top sections will be folded back. The
drawers and doors on the front can be
marked out with ink or painted with your
paint brusheS. II you work carefully and
neatly you will have q nice little toy and
mother will be pleased that you are SO
skillful. PRINCESS sPINAwAY.

HOW SOME GIRLS
ARE EARNING MONEY
Others Who Are Ambitious to Do
Something for Themselves Should
Profit by These Experiences.

Here is what some girls are doing. Per-
haps the experience of others may give
a hint for employment.
Margaret is busy making crocheted
rugs. She did II last summer. and she
was SO successful that she is trying 1t
again. She sorts out old pieces Of cotton
and selects two colors that blend at
tractively. Then she cuts them into even
strips, one inch wide if the material is
soft, half inch if the material is heavy.
These she sews together. and with a large
bone or amber crochet hook she starts a
chain of stitches with a white strip.
Then she turns il over and makes five
rows of single crochet, moderately loose,
Of white. Three rows of blue, two white
and three blue alternately form the bor-
der, but she makes her own color scheme
to suit room, with blue and white
usually for a bathroom rug.
Margaret sells her little rugs at So cents
apiece. The actual cost is about a quar-
ter of that, and as her time is her own
after the house is tidied and the small
brothers and sisters have started of to
school she feels that she makes big
profit.
Knits Sweaters.
Another girl knits sweaters in silk or
wool, and long or short, to order. She
started making them for friends. then
others, hearing of them. sent orders. and
now she even makes for women in the
West, and, of course. does all her work
at home and generally just when she feels
inclined
Jean always had a taste for cookery.
and she lives in little village where
you cannot buy much, so her talent is
most welcome. Her sponge cakes are
marvels of lightness and her plum cake is
a wonder. When she has friends to tea
she gives them the most delicious little
sandwiches, made Of all sorts of things.
One day a neighbor rushed in to her for
aid. She was having friends for bridge
and supper that evening and nothing she
had ordered from the nearest town had
arrived. Would Jean help her out? OF
course, Jean would. and she started to
bake and make at once, so that by even
ing the daintiest Of suppers was prepared.
She woke to find herself famous in her
own part Of the world. and her sand
wiches and cakes and pies were in great
demand.
BY and by she discovered she could sell
cakes elsewhere. Now size has a regular
set of customers who send for her things,
and she bakes on certain days and packs
her dainties carefully for the parcel post.

Japanese FavOrs.

Prettiest among the new candy recep-

small box is tied with a narrow ribbon
and contains table mints. Special boxes
of the same shape and material are filled
with bonbons when presented as favors.
and afterward make charming receptacles

BY FRANCES sHAFrER.

II Ii not strange that the custodians OF
city parks fret and fume over every
manifestation Of lack Of care Of the
beautiful breathing-spots. Because when
they are as radiant as prodigal nature
and spendthrift art can make them. they
give q lovely touch of grace to a citys
splendor and are genuine objects of
pride.
And one quite understands the rea-
son for the ugly little signs that some
times warn trespassers away from vel
vety lawns and from too close peeps
at the posies scattered about. For tn.
charm Is more than half dispelled when
the telling marks Of many little feet
are plainly written there. And a park
appeals the most when IL eloduentl,'
bespeaks constant care and beauty
coaxed along-that ie, 1t does, unless one
looks for q deeper. a more useful mean
ing to beauty than Just to please the
eye.
For then. perhaps. along with appre-
citation of the Immediately Kept
stretches Of green and the riotous dis
play Of color everywhere. little ques-
ton may creep in: For whom are the
parks intended? Then. too. possibly one
may call to mind a remark recently made
concerning well-kept parks with their
warning signs
1T il better to have dead grass in
the parks than dead children in the
tenements."
All that Appeals.
And as one watches the autos. the
carriages, hurrying by. with their oc-
cupants carefully groomed and. gown
ed. the thought comes TO mind that the
aesthetic value OF the park il all that
appeals to them. all that needs to appeal,
for they can skip away. II they like,
where all nature spreads out before them
In a continual feast of luxuriance.
And many Of the folk passing along
on foot have green stretches, breathing
spots of their own where they can drink
in freshness by the hour. So, too, with
the little folk trundled by in dainty carri-
ages or troddling along by the side Of
nurses-the park Is not real godsend to
them, for. II not there, then somewhere
else. Gods pure air and sun would blow
and shine for them.
But the little folk in the long, hot
streets and narrow ways, living and play
ing in the rag-tag of everything-what
of them?
Yet these little ones. tucked away In
the back streets. in the midst of the
that lurk in the tenements, the most in
need of a share in the gifts of the city.
are the very ones that never are seen.
Perhaps they might seldom be seen
IL they were permitted to play on the
grass, because the very poor do not often
drift to places where the better situated
