Report on City Planning.

A report covering city planning sug-
gestions for Lawrence, Mass, prepared
by Arthur C. Comey, landscape archi-
tect Of Cambridge, has been issued by
the town planning board of that city.
1t presents a comprehensive outline or
schedule for a civic survey, thor
oughfare system designed to meet
probable traffic conditions, general
scheme for recreation facilities and an
intensive study and detailed plan for
the treatment of Spicket rivera fea-
ture Of the city plan which, it is sug-
gested, may be carried out at once.
Housing is not covered in detail in
the report because of the thorough
work along that line by the Lawrence
survey, made il 1912, which instead Of
covering much ground specifically
was limited to an intensive investiga-
tion III the fields OF housing and public
health.

GARDEN EVER WORTH WHILE
Plot of Land Need Not Cost Great
Deal of Money, But Deserves
Careful Thought.

Now that the value Of architectural
garden features is becoming more
universally recognized, it behooves the
homebuilder to give the matter due
consideration. Few houses are too
modest or have grounds too small to
permit some such interesting touch.
1t may be simple arbor seat, a trel-
lis or even a garden gate, but whatev-
er the architectural features are, the
fanciful or grotesque should be avoid
ed and only artistic simple lines be
employed.
The question of the material en-
ployed in these features is of the ut
most Importance. A close relationship
should be maintained between the ma
terials here and those employed in the
adjacent buildings.
While it is not necessary in all
cases that stated material be used,
the style and details Of the house
should always suggest the nature of
the garden features; as, for instance,
a brick country house Of colonial style
with exterior trim of which would
naturally call to mind visions of white
trellis work, white wood pergola or
white arbor along simple colonial lines.

The City of the Future.

A city, sanitary, convenient. sub
stantial; where the houses of the rich
and the poor are alike comfortable
and beautiful: where the streets are
clean and the sky line is clear as
country air: where the architectural
excellence of its buildings adds beauty
and dignity to its streets; where parks
and Fairgrounds are within the reach
of every child: where living is pleas
ant, toll honorable and recreation
plentiful; where capital is respected
but not worshiped; where commerce
in goods is great, but not greater than
the interchange Of ideas; where indus
try thrives and brings prosperity alike
to employer and employed; where edu-
cation and art have place in every
home; where worth and not wealth
give standing to men; where the pow
er Of character lifts men to leader
ship; where interest in public affairs
is test of citizenship and devotion to
the public veal is badge of honor;
where government is always honest
and efficient, and the principles Of de-
mocracy find their fullest and truest
expression; where the people of all
the earth can come and be blended
into one community life; and where
each generation will vie with the past
to transmit to the next city greater,
better and more beautiful than the
last.-Mayo Fesler, secretary Of the
Civic League of Cleveland, O., in the
New York Independent.

TOO GOOD TO THROW AWAY
"Drippnes" From Fried Lamb or Mu1-
ton May Be Made Into an Ex-
cellent "Gravy Stock"

The housekeeper whose rule 1t 1s
always to make savory brown OF
creamed gravy of the drippings and
meat-essence remaining in the frying
pan after veal, chicken or hamburg
steaks have been cooked, will ire
quently let the contents of the pan be
discarded, il it were used for frying
mutton or lamb. This is OH account
of the quality Of the fat that COOKS
out of the meat, which is disagree
able to many persons. But If care
has been taken not to permit any
scorching during the frying, let cup
full of boiling water be poured into the
pan after the meat has been removed,
and let this boil up well, stirring with
a spoon, until all traces Of the meat
essence have been dissolved away
from the pan. Strain this liquid into
an earthen or agate bowl, dash
little cold water into it, and set aside
in cool place. In few hours the
fat will have formed solid cake,
and can be removed, leaving a cupful
of excellent gravy stock" this can
be used for re-serving any left-oVers
Of the aforesaid mutton or lamb, II
wanted as hash or ragout, adding
notably to the flavor and richness
thereof; or it can be added to ones
soup stock.
The same method can be used with
the dripping Pan in which lamb or
r:utton has been roasted American

Rhubarb and RaiSin Pie.

Did any of the readers ever put
raisins over the top Of the rhubarb,
about two inches apart? No more
plain rhubarb pies for me after try
ing them with the raisins. Another
thing l 90 which perhaps other SIS
ters do not, and that is, l never peel
my rhubarb for pies. I wash it and
wipe each stalk carefully and then
slice it into the plate. l think it
makes much richer pie that way

Y 7 Helps Y |
WHEN PLANNING THE HOME
Some Things to Be Remembered, and
Some to Be Avoided, for the
Best Results.

If you would prevent trouble and in
convenience after you move into the
new home, observe carefully the fol-
lowing don ts' while you are plan.
ming and building:
Don't forget that a chimney gener-
ally works better when it is inclosed
all around. The bricks become more
evenly heated and the draft is strong
er and steadier.
Don't, when planning the new home,
debate too long upon the style OF the
building. The location, contour and
peculiarities of the site, as well as
the owners needs, will suggest the
kind of house best adapted to it. Much
more important than choice Of style
is attention to details, for the differ
ence between an ugly house and a
beautiful one is caused almost entire
ly by the arrangement, proportion and
color CT the detailed parts.
Don't omit from the equipment OF
the new home the stationary vacuum
cleaner. Cleaning house by this meth
cd banishes the drudgery Of house
work and leaves in it's wake no germs
to breathe, nor particles of dirt and
dust to settle down again ready for
the next cleaning day.
Don't forget that the bathroom is
one of the most important rooms in
the new house. 1t should therefore be
most carefully planned and equipped
with fixtures which will retain their
beauty and efficiency for an age. The
cost of installation is no more nor
less than installing fixtures of an in
ferior grade.
Don't forget that the garage has ar
tistic possibilities as we'll as utilitar-
ian purposes. This fact borne in
mind should result in building in
conspicuously and harmoniously fitted
to its surroundings.
Don't forget that an architect can
give you what you want much easier
when he knows what it is, than he can
when you do not know, yourself, what
you want.
Don't lose sight Of the idea that the
new home should be an efficient do
mestic housekeeping plant, as well as
a satisfaction to the eye.
Don't overlook the convenience OF
drawers that run on ball bearings for
the closets. These may add slightly
to the cost of construction, but are
desirable when drawers are long and
deep.
Don't forget, when planning the
guest room, the convenience Of a
small built-in ironing board with elec-
trio iron attached. This may be To-
Gated in the closet and so arranged as
to occupy but little space.
Don't pit thresholds under the
closet doors. It is much easier to
sweep a closet without door thresh'
old.
Don't fail to have outside windows,
when possible, in the closets. This
for air as we'll as for sunlight, the
enemy Of the moth.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A good furniture polish is eight
ounces of sweet oil, four ounces tur-
pentine, two ounces ammonia. Apply
with cloth and polish with woolen
cloth.
After washing a white knitted jer
sey, put it on coat-hanger to dry,
and hang it on line in the air. 1t
will keep better shape than if pegged
Oil the line.
Ground rice is excellent for clean
ing white cloth. 1t should be applied
with a piece Of clean white flannel,
left for two or three hours, and then
well brushed and shaken.
Rusty irons should be heated,
rubbed on a piece Of beeswax tied in
linen, and then with a coarse flannel
cloth, sprinkled with household salt.
This will give a polish like glass.
Silk stockings should never be
ironed. Wash them in soapsuds made
with good white soap and lukewarm
water and rinse in clear water Of the
same temperature. Rough dry.
Do not iron lingerie ribbons while
damp if you want them to be soft.
Wrap while wet smoothly around a
big bottle covered with thick muslin,
and press with cool iron when dry.
If the knob has come off the ket-
tie take a cork, put screw through
it, push the screw through the lid Of
the kettle and screw burr on the
end. You will have knob that will
not come off nor get hot.

Worth Tryinu.

Keep folded newspapers handy upon
which to place soiled pots and pans,
and save cleaning smutty marks from
the table.
If the stepladder slips, paste piece
Of old rubber over each support; this
will not only prevent fall, but it will
protect the floors.
When a box of sardines is opened, it
should be drained Of its oil at once
and the fish turned out.
