The Chicago Inter Ocean, in pub
fishing extracts from newspapers of
fifty years ago brings to light some of
the yenomous filings made at men in
authority in those days. Among other
things its reprints an editorial from
the Chicago Times in which Grant is
denounced as a drunkard, Halleck a
traitor and the president a craven.
The editorial says, in part: Lin
coin S eye is restless and is constant
ly wandering, at most times with a
vacant expression. at others in a
manner Indicative of positive terror
He has exactly the demeanor of man

THE GARAGE

THAT good-time car of yours will
l need housing. You have learned
ere now that you can avoid consid-
cradle expense by keeping it at home.
You have seen how your neighbors
have crowded in little portable
shacks just back of their houses and
you have felt, with us, that the
garage should be part of the general
scheme of things and considered at
the start. Our idea is chiefly this:
sightliness, economy of construction,
utility and simplicity of up-keep.
The Ideal Garage costs, according
to actual estimate, five hundred dol
lars complete. 1t is constructed of
the same material as the house:

Decorations forWalls
and Ceilings

The use of Alabastine tints for ceilings and
walls is becoming more popular. This popu-
,arity is due to three reasons
First the use of Alabastine permits of
great variety of effects in different rooms
1t is easy to give character to room with
water colors. Alabastne comes in great
variety of shades and tints and by mixing
these shades and tnts an almost unlimited
variety of color schemes can be procured.
Second, Alabastine is inexpensive, conse-
quently each year it can be renewed, or the
tints in the different rooms changed if desired.
A third and very important reason is that
Alabastine is very sanitary. Kalsomines are
temporary and when the action of the air be-
gins to disintegrate the glue the tinting rubs
off or "chalks." The pastes with which wall
paper is applied to walls forms breeding place
for germs, and it is therefore barred from many
schools and hospitals by Boards of Health.

sEMI-MONTHLY MAGAZINE
FORMALITY VERSUS
- INFORMALITY -

no you want your Home to express
your individuality or don't you
really care a rap about its individu-
ality or expression one way or the
other? There is the woman who said,
Il want my house to express me -
and the woman who answered. 81
don't care what my house expresses
so long as it pleases.' Both view
points are worthy, and both are nat
ural We have tried in the Ideal
House to furnish fertile ground for
expression; the seal of individuality
is easily set upon it, while as it is,
it is complete in pleasing qualities.
If more dignity or formality is re-
quired, an iron gate in the hedge. a
tiled roof, bronze leaders, and more
severity in the garden will give the
desired effect. Greater infOrmality
may be obtained by the use of
Dutch door, wooden shutters on the
lower windows, settles on the porch,
and less labor lavished on the up
keep of the grounds or more happily
a slight disorder observed.
We believe that the Ideal Home
strikes a happy medium between in
formality and formality, both in
room arrangement, interior furnish
ing, and in the exterior where the
slight conventionality of the street
frontage blends off into the intimacy
of the rest of the grounds. Indoors,
the walls and woodwork of the living
rooms are treated to give rich and
yet restful effect; a neutral and har-
monious background for the acces-
sories that make up a home. The
bedrooms are designed to impress
you with their dainty simplicity, and
the porches with their great posi-
bilities for open air comfort. The big
room is all informality with its cen
tering fireplace, its long table spread
with books and magazines, and its
easy inviting chairs placed so con-
veniently near the numerous lamps
and lights. The dining room. on the
other hand, has slight air of for
mality, of dignified, limited use; it's
orderly remOteness as noted by the
casual caller serving to give the
formal note.
Porches should proclaim decid-
edly unconventional stand. The COW
cred porch of the Ideal House is
reached through the central hall, and
is cut off from any formal approach
- clearly intended as a place of in
timacy and retreat. Here should be
the ever delightful Gloucester Ham
mock, a porch rug of woven grass,
easy wicker or hickory chairs, and
many pillows, low table for tea or
sewing, and large mouthed jars for
Towering branches The chairs should
be of a sort that one could leave out
in rain storm without harm, and
the other accessories easily moved
indoors.
A suggestion of formality may be
observed in the guest room (not nee
essarily the choice room of the
house,; but not to the loss of the
personal touch that makes for honey
ness, the true essential of every
house.
The San Francisco call., 1913-10-04

Alabastine, while applied in a similar man
ner to kalsomne is chemically different and
mixes readily with cold, warm or hot water.
1t will not rub off. and it is particularly well
adapted for use on new walls because after
the walls have cracked, or settled, another
coat can be put over it without washing it off.
But it can be washed off readily if it is desired
to change the tinting on the walls or ceilings.
Alabastine is made from alabaster, and it
has been manufactured for more than twenty
FIVE years 1t has stood the test of all sorts of
climatic conditions, heat and cold, moisture
and dryness.
As rule new walls should be treated with
coat of size, or otherwise prepared for the
receiving of the finish
In a new building there is almost certain
to be a settling of the walls. which causes
cracks more or less conspicuous, and it is a
good plan to place on the new walls coat
ing that can be easily removed.
Alabastine, being water color, can be
easily removed when it is desirable to take
the color all off down to the wall itself
As Alabastine is not expensive it is recon-
mended for use on walls and ceilings of new
buildings. Any competent painter can use
Alabastine effectively. 1t comes in dry pow
der ready to mix with cold water, according
to directions which are on each package, and
applied with an ordinary wall brush.
Flat paints on walls are all right, if the walls
are in perfect condition. but should it scale
in places to get the paint off of the wall it be-
comes necessary to burn the paint off, which
is very expensive operation. The cost of
fiat paints is considerable and when washed
the results obtained are not satisfactory for
living rooms. There are many places, how
ever, where a washable paint is desirable,
such, for instance, as bath rooms, kitchens,
below the plate rail of dining rooms, along
the stairways, or in other places where the
walls are likely to be soiled by placing the
hands against them, or brushing them with
damp clothing. In such places fiat wall
paint, such as Alabasco, which is made by
the Alabastine Co., can be used in connec-
ton with Alabastine, using Alabastine for the
upper walls and ceilings. and the color scheme
maintained Just the same as though the work
was all done with Alabastine.
The manufacturers Of Alabastine give free
stencils to users Of their goods and with the
use of these stencils great variety of attractive
border effects are obtained.
Alabastine and Alabasco are made by the
Alabastine Co., so Grandville Ave, Grand
Rapids, Mich, and the company has just
published handsome book showing 40 color
plans Of interiors in actual colors. 1t is a
guide to correct color schemes and up-to date
harmonious, water color effects. The booklet
is sent free to anyone who writes for it.
