Ne7U Books on the Home
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK.
Author Of The New Housekeeping"

and Adams-The Century COMPANY
Another volume more elaborate and
dealing with structural details as
well as furnishings. is this beautiful
ly illustrated work. Too many books
in the past have dealt solely with
the architectural and furnishing prob
lens OF the very we'll to do. and it
remained only for those Of modest
purses to accept the hideous horrors
forced on them by the ready-made
house. This volume appeals particu-
larly to the householder with mod
est means. Various topics like the
roof walls. the hearth. good taste.
built-in fixtures, etc, are discussed
at length. The abundance of illustra-
tons contrast good versus poor"
construction. well-chosen bibli-
ography is a helpful detail. AltoEeth-
er the book is attractive enough to
be a most welcome Christmas pres
ent without even considering its
practical points.

THE BEREA GRADED SCHOOL
SIRE.

Last Saturday the citizens OF Be
rea showed themselves not merely
willing to talk for. but to pay for a
graded school when they carried
the Bond Issue vote by 2i3 to 81.
Out of the 2i9 votes cast 40 were
those of men, and 100 of women.
While a slightly larger per cent of
women voted for the measure than
did men, the men of the town were
for the measure more than 5 to 4.
The trustees are very busy now,
and ground will be broken for the
building early in the spring If no
unforeseen difficulty presents itself.
Many people adjacent to the pres
ent boundary may desire to come
into the district since an up-t0-date
building and high class school is as
sured. Such persons should see a
member of the school board at
once, for this is the best and easiest
time for outsiders to be admitted.

Of ten students gave evidence Of the

Their report has opened the eyes
Of many of us who did not realize
fully what God is doing IN the world
today. Thru the addresses Of such
devoted men as VIM. Jennings Bry-
an, John II. Mott, Robert T.. Speer.
Samuel W. Iwemcr and many other
prophets every delegate at the con-
Nentlon was lifted into greater Wis
ions Of the possibility and opportun-
lily Of bringing the world la Christ.
Our delegates have brought back
to their neighbors the Visions and
inspiration which they received.
The other delegations from all over
the United States and Canada are
spreading the same message Ia their

were most delightfully."- entertained
by the College girls at Ladies Hall.
After half hours reception in the

thru the girls rooms and saw how
the other half lived" The rooms
were all most charmingly arranged
and decorated. Pictures. pennants,
rugs. cushions and furniture were
all arranged in the most tasteful,
and comfortable manner.
Refreshments had been served in
the West Parlor, but many of the
rooms offered sweetmeats, one Of
them taking the pains TO add qui-

as a precaution against malaria.
