TIE blouse Of moire shown here Is
the bodice Of gown Of this mate.
'ial which Is made with a plain skirt
Of the same fabric, caught up in front
and finished at the bottom with band
Of skunk fur like that which appears
On the sleeves.
The belt Is Of the MORE, fastened
with two covered buttons of the same.
Two ruilles of chiffon give extra width
to the hips. one of them starting at
the waist line and the other beginning
Just under the hem of the first.
The bodice Is interesting because
1t embodies a new way of arriving at
the fullness desired in such garments
by means OF the manner in which it
Is cut. 1t has the effect of the XII
mona sleeve in the regular kimona
pattern but gets rid Of the fullness on
top of the shoulder and provides for
that over the bust. 1t Is cut to allow
Tor drapery, which falls away from
the opening at the neck and blouses
over the belt.
Fashionable waists are apt to be
hard to manage for the full figure. 1t
Is to avoid the cumbersome appear
ance Of the regulation kimona blouse
on a stout figure that an arrangement
like that shown here has been devised.

is no buyer because the house is ''like

The reason why house will not

cause 1t has no individuality. The
bungalow has individuality; 1t has
something that makes passers-by turn

say How cosy!"

There is also direct connection be-

good feature. Too many houses are
SO arranged that the living room has
to be chased through every time one
has occasion to answer the front door

sitting there, but also dirties this
room unnecessarily and makes too
many steps.
The bedroom is of good size, opens

The word bungalow" is an Anglo

species Of rural villa, house of light
construction, usually of unbaked brick
with thatched roof. The bungalows
which are the residences OF Euro
peans in India are OF all styles and
sizes, according to the taste and
wealth Of the owner. In its earlier

low was taken to denote a lightly
constructed habtation, not exceeding
one story in height, and presumably
designed for temporary occupation.
But during the past few years bunga.

MAKING HOME HAPPY
QUESTION OF RIGHT LIVING YER
sus WRONG LIVING.
Every Individual in the Family Has
Some Rights That Every Other
Member Of the Household
Should Respect.

It should be remembered In the
home, that every individual in the
family has some rights that every
other member Of the household Is
bound to respect.
The husband and father should be
made comfortable and to feel that his
wishes are to be considered and home
a place in which to rest from the
daily grind whether it be the wrestling
a living from the soil or labor in any
other walk of life.
These thoughts were suggested by
a %neighborly call not long since which
showed the thoughtlessness of a wife.
The husband, by the way, the pro-
wider. be it remembered. came in from
the field in working clothes and COM
fortably seated himself on the couch
made attractive with cushions of var
ious sizes and descriptions supposed
to be for use.
The tired man had no sooner sunk
into the downy depths of the support
ing pillows than the wife exclaimed,
John you ought not to lean against
those pillows in your working clothes.
you will soil them"
The man was not to blame when he
quickly pulled them away from his
doubtless wearied body and threw
them across the room. One naturally
blushed for the thoughtless wife.
There should be nothing in a home
too good for use. especially in the liv-
ing room, or by the mar of the house.
whose bodily strength is given freely
that his loved ones may be made
happy and comfortable.
Ii is not well thus to confound
values. Surely the mar who labors
constantly for others and must have
the welfare of his family at heart
should be valued above any sofa pill
low no matter how dainty or expen-
sive.
Then there are the rights of the
wife and mother to be always re-
spected. Her especial domain should
be arranged with care and a regard
for her convenience. Work in the
ordinary RECONSTRUCTED kitchen re-
quires more expenditure of strength
and nerve power than Is needed for
the successful carrying out of a large
business that is thoroughly sys-
tematized.

OUR BUSINESS METHODS
CONFUSE FOREIGNERS

German and American manufaetur.
ers are active rivals for the trade in
~various European countries, and the
frequent success of the Germans in
getting more business than our own
people is sometimes pulling, since
American goods, in markets where the
requirements of merchants and con
sumers are fairly well understood. are
often as good as, if not better, than
the German product.
Indifference to detail of pushing
trade and negligent methods in CORE
%spondenee are sometimes blamed for
conditions unsatisfactory to the for
eign trade of the American manufac-
%turer. But d. p. de Young, our vice
consul at Amsterdam, writes in the
Daily Consular and Trade Reports sug-
costing that American trade discount
methods are seriously at fault. He
says just criticism is heard in that
district of the American ~manufactur-
ers' custom of quoting certain prices
in catalogues with sundry adjustable
discounts. The local trade simply can
not understand this system of varia-
BILE prices; they want their supplies
quoted at flat rates.
Furthermore, it is the American Gus
tom, in trying to introduce goods into
new fields, to "quote prices and dis
counts with the promise to make a
better figure later if business of inn
portanee results The Germans, on
the other hand, get a great advantage
from the very start by making their
lowest price first, and even are able
to raise the price, if necessary, a lit
tie later when the article introduced
has gained foothold and popularity.
The Germans argue that only by max
ing their greatest indueement first
can a new customer be gained most
surely, and there is much comomn
sense in this contention. 1t would
seem that the continual drive, drive,
drive for lower prices which is looked
for in the American home market is
not so definitely present in the foreign
field. If an article is proved to be ex-
%cellent and available, the European
consumer is more readily persuaded to
go on using it and does not always
expect a better pnce than last
year This home custom, however
general, is really silly, and has small
justification in any business intelli-
gence.-New York Evening Sun.
