 Forney Kennedy Business is improving greatly, said Forney Kennedy of the Kennedy Realty company "The demand for

 deals every week.
 Ut Is my opinion that realty condi- tions are much better now than they
 have been for several years. l feel that money invested in Alabama farm lands Is one of the best investments of the present time. and it is my be- lief that there will be larger de mand for Alabama farm lands than ever before. The outlook for the mar ket this fall Is brighter than for years past"

The wonderful agility Of The Japa-

not ridiculous. Perhaps it was,
some years ago, when they

whether she would have an all black

used to-day. particularly for reception

-, HERE is no other method of
treating wall surfaces which
- confers the dignihed and dis
tinguished appearance OF panelling.
The dividing of large wall spaces into
smaller sections or surfaces by strips
or bands of woodwork placed in vertl-
cal and horizontal positions not only
"breaks up" wall space, but gives an
architectural beauty and dignity which
nothing else could do.

Panelling of the traditional kind is

thus panelled very bold and vigorous
treatment one may paint the plaster
the palest gray, using deeper gray
for the stiles or mouldings which ere
ate the panelled effect. If the panels
thus formed be sufficiently large a
very pleasing appearance may be pro-
duced by filing them, before the
wooden stiles are applied. with burlap
or coarse canvas. This will present a
rarely beautiful effect, there being a
marked contrast between the smooth
painted woodwork and the coarse and
somewhat rough painted fabric.
Woodwork from Dismantlcd Houses.
Ingenious decorators have obtained
much of the luxurious effect Of real
wooden paneling, joined or mortised
together. by a clever use Of old wood
work which has been removed from
dismantled houses. In every large city
there are second hand lumber yards, to

from old buildings which may be used
again. In such places one may often
find beautiful old panelled doors OF
mahogany or of wood painted white OF
one may select old window shutters
arranged in solid wooden panels, any
of which. with a little clever fitting
and planning, may be used most ef-
fectively as panellng upon walls.
The very simplest method Of obtain
ing a suggestion OF the effect Of panel
ling is. Of course, the use of bands OF
decorative fabrics or wall paper. Such
panellinc of large wall surfaces was
much used by the architects and deco
rators of France during the closing
DAYS of the monarchy, and the design
ers who catered 10 the court OF Marie
Antoinette would cover large surface

Two years ago a woman's comments
provoked almost as great amusement as
did her witty remarks at a cubist exhi-
bition of paintings, or at baseball
game. Small boys would gather around
just to hear what she said. But now,
at the National Automobile Show, in
the enormous and crowded rooms of the
Grand Central Palace, her remarks are
not much different from those offered
by the man. He will be quite as quick
in admiring the cars beauty. But she
will be quite as interested in the purely
mechanical action of one of its sec
tons. Perhaps the bright-eyed young
woman who was asking so many ques-
tions about the control was to be an
other taxi driver. or perhaps she was
merely one who was caught by the
tremendous enthusiasm of her younger
brother and evincing the fact that she
was not at all incapable of understand
ing things of that sort just because she
was a woman.
We may not all agree on the proper
medium of woman's advance, but surely
the new critical interest woman takes
in automobile shows is but another
evidence of a more keen correlation
with the world outside her domestic
four walls.
