Houses Looking Like People.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


How houses do look like people!
Not necessarily like the people who
live in them, sometimes that, but 9TH
err times like the people who have lived
in them, and yet again like the people
who ought to live in them.
Not far from our neighbrohood is
a large, comfortable, handsome house,
built in the style Of ten or fifteen years
with few angles, pleasant bay win
dows, expensive rather f1orid wall pa
pers and a general air Of comfortable,
commonplace well being. I do not
know who lives in it now but it al
ways makes me think Of a large,
handsome. woman, good-natured, not
over intelligent, but comfortable to
live with, the mother of a brood Of
commonplace good looking children
and the contented wife of a good pro-
WIDER
Houses with hooks and crannies and
steps up and steps down and surpris-
ing turns and quaint little windows
with unexpected outlooks are like the
quaint unconventional people one al
ways dreams of meeting, and a few
times in lifetime actually meets:
people no better than other folks, but
different, with queer quirks and un-
expected outlooks and whimsicalities:
people such as Charles Lamb must
have been.
Then there are houses that look like
newly married couples, little plaster
bungalows or trim little wood houses
stained some pretty self assertive col
or, houses with not a great deal of
individuality but fresh and young and
modern looking. I am always sur
prised when I find, as one occasionally
does, an elderly couple living in a
house like that One suspects that
there must be in them some young
sters Of spirit that makes them choose
such an abode.
Speaking Of the colors people choose
to paint their homes reminds me of
a fact I noticed the other day. In a
corner Of our neighbrohood are five
houses in a row painted in various
self-effacing shades of drab. while at
each end of the row is a stained house,
one red, one green. I stopped to think
the other day and found that the five
drab houses are owned by five elderly
people OF the conservative type, and
the two with the distinctive colors by
young people.
Stately old fashioned houses with
the serene grace of fine plain lines
and solid simplicity, the kind of
houses of which it has well been said.
than new make me think of gra-
cious serene personalities. OF course
they are not always occupied by the
people to whom they belong by right

PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS.

Considering the drains that have
been made on the purses of Topekans
lately they did fairly well in respond
ing with almost $500 for the support
of public Fairgrounds for the k1ddles
during the coming summer season
Undoubtedly, they would have done
better had the weather been such that
the canvassers for this worthy project
could have gotten around and seen
more of them. The sums in hand will
make possible the proper conduct or
the Fairgrounds until August 1, and it
is likely that additional funds will be
forthcoming to keep them going dur
ing the entire summer. But this is
another of the necessary adjunctS of
modern city life that the people should
not be asked to support through pri-
vate contributions. 1t should be pro-
vided for out of the funds either at
the disposal of the board of education
or of the city park department. 1t
certainly wouldn't be popular, nor
very reasonable to suggest that the
expense of maintaining supervised
Fairgrounds for the children should
be met by increasing local taxes spe-
officially for this purpose, even though
the necessary tax would be of trifling
proportions. But it does seem that
out of all the money which Topeka
spends for her schools and her city
administration there could be suffi-
cient savings in other directions so
that ample sums might be set aside
for such essential requirements as safe
and interesting places in which the
youngsters may play to their hearts
content.
