Time Fast Coming When
All Who Labor Will
Have Homes

The societies of which | have
spoken also interest themselves
in rendering it easy to procure
good furniture at moderate
prices, and in encouraging the
adornment of the interior
The time is fast coming when
all who labor will have pleasant,
cheerful homes to live in, and
when that state OF affairs has
been attained, the work of the
world will be doubled in guam

The Problem OF
Creating Pleas
ant Homes Is
One of National
Importance
Che erf III Surroundings
Affect One Mentally,
Morally and Physically;
France Is Solvin G
the Problem Through
Government Aid

OOD health and good
cheer produce good work.
Man did not begin to
become civilized until he had
learned to build houses and to
practice the first elements of hy-
giene, science that takes its
name from Greek word for
health.
When men and women live in
pleasant homes, amid cheerful
surroundings, they are twice as
effective, mentally, morally and
physically, as when they arc
herded in gloomy novels, like
the peasants of the middle ages,
and like, too, many Of the work
ing people in modern cities and
manufacturing towns.
These statements are so self
evident that they hardly need to
be made; and yet it is only quite
recently that their truth has been
SO generally recognized that
something has begun to be done
on a large scale to remedy the
evil effects OF bad housing and of
insanitary and uncheerful sur
roundings.
Good houses, at slight cost,
says Senator Paul Strauss of the
French senate, is the problem Of
the day, occupying the first place
in public interest

Take Pride in Preserv-
ing Attractiveness
OF Home

A hundred better instincts
awake in all of them. The chill
dren have decent place to play.
and more things to interest them
The wife has we'll lighted rooms,
which she can adorn and keep in
order. They all have more re-
spect for themselves and for
their neighbors. They begin to
feel proper emulation, and take
pride in preserving and increas-
ing the attractiveness of their
home.
One detail that I observe in
these French homes for working
people is worth special atten-
ton. Every effort is made to
avoid a dead uniformity III the
style Of the houses. They are
not ali built precisely alike.
Each has an individuality of its
own. The variety thus produced
in the appearance of a group of
houses is extremely pleasing, and
the effect Of this variety IS felt
by the dwellers themselves. It
gives them a sense OF independ
ence. 1t promotes the social in
stincts by affording something
novel to the view of visitors.
Each housewife is enabled to
find expression for her personal
tastes, and to take pride in her
own manner of arranging things.

cost, in clean, bright, well made

tages.
The uplifting effect of this
change is plainly evident. The
whole atmosphere is altered.
When the workman returns from
his daily labor he finds real
home awaiting him. It is a home
from which he feels no tempta-
ton to fee in order to seek the
abasing pleasures Of the cafe and
saloon. His family has become
more attractive to him because
now they are more cheerful and
happy, and less subject to the at
tack of disease.
