DEVOTED TO HIS NECKTIE
Strange How Neekwear Will Weave

Of Mans Heart.

Every morning we stand before the
mirror. flap the large end over and
around, push 1t behind and up and
draw 1t carefully through. 1t becomes
q habit, and yet, like dining, IT has a
certain fascination. The keen pleas
ure of a new and increased cravat
helps to make whole week brighter.
And THAI dread day when q white spot
appears in the center Of the front of
our favorite green one, or when the
beloved brown parts internally, and,
while appearing the same without

day our coffee is bitter and the mer-

The exterior of this design is finish
ed in typical bungalow StyLr. The roof
has very fiat pitch with caves that
extend out on all sides. The gable,
extending toward the front of the
house, has the right side slightly long
er than the left, so as 10 cover the
small front porch. The walls are COW
cred with shingles. The steps 10 the
front porch are rather wide and pre-
sent pleasant, inviting appearance.
The entrance 10 the house is into the
living room, which IS connected TO the
dining room by a wide opening. The
dining room might serve also as Il sun
parlor because of the many windows
that are placed in the walls. Along
the front there are four windows, with
five along the side and one opening out
on to the front porch. The dining
room is of good size, and being con-
neCted to the living room makes an IN
usually large space across the front Of
the house. In the back part is a buff

Directly back of the dining room is
q pantry that is n most necessary ad-

BOTH CALL FOR RESTRAINT
What Kind and How Much Are the
Real Considerations That Must
Be Studied by the Wise
Parent
ey sipoNiE NJ. eRUrNgERe.

n Ne does not need tu be very old
~ To recall the days when all chill
drcn were wcll-bchaved and respectful
10 their elders. And those 0f us who
are too young To remember the good
old days can get from European viSi-
tors tn" assurance that American chill
dren are. on the whole. altogether TOO
free in their speech. Indeed. our Wis
itorS from abroad are more frequently
shocked by the "impudcnce" of our
children than they are impressed by
the height of our buildings.
1t must he admitted that our chill
dren are rather oHtSpokcn. III our re-
action against the crushing restraints
Of puritaniSm. we have no doubt gone
too far. And in rejecting the old stand
ards of human and C1lild conduct we
have too frequently failed 10 establish
definite standards of our own. But we
are not compelled to choose between
disreSpect and lawleSSneSS on the one
hand, and repression and hypocrisy on
the other. Children must have free
dom, but they can and should he taught
10 speak in more respectful and
mannerly fashion.
A great deal of what older people
resent as 'impudence" is really not Of
fenSive in spirit. hut when the shock
ing word is spoken IL is not always ac-
cOmpanied by its own explanation. 1t
is necessary for older people to under
stand what goes on in the child's mind,
instead of waiting for the child to
make the explanation. There are three
common sources of ''impIdencc" that
we can learn To understand and so
treat. Children mcOnSciOuSly initiate
the tones and expressions that they
heGr ut home or among their aSSOci-
ateS. II n child is often ScOlded and
reprOvcd in coarse terms. we should
not expect him 10 use gentle and re-
fined speech in situations that call
forth his critical and resentful spirit.
We are outraged on hearing a young
miss say to her father: "YOu were
crazy to 90 out without your umbrpl-
Ia; you might have seen it would
rain" But ii does not take us long to
find out that the child is uSin" the

"lambamena."

One of the oldest native Madagascar
Industries is the curing and manufac-
turing of silk into what is called
''lambamena :" "lamba" in Malagasy
means dress, shrOud, or clothing, and
"mena" means red. "Lambamena" is
made from heavy gray native silk
principally In the Betsileo country. In
the southern part of the central
plateau. This material was originally
used for wrapping the bodies of promi-
nent natives for burial. The more
celebrated or wealthy the deceased or
his relatives were. the more LAMBDA
mena was used, but this custom is be-
ing gradually discontinued.

give expression to their feelings, re-
strained only by what they learn Of
genuine respect and courtesy.
In many cases what appears as dis
respect or worse is merely an indica-
ton of ignorance or crudCncSS. This
was illustrated by little boy of four.
whose violent jumping on rickcty
stair was interrupted by his cautions
grandmother. When the old lady'S back
was turned the child whispered To his
brother, Don't YOU wish she was
dead?" This was Il srandalouS thing
To hear, and under other circum-
stances a child saying anything like
that would have been mercileSsly
chastiSed. But in this case, as in
many others. there was neither malice
in the child's feelings nor understand
ing his mind. In all good faith he
wished the disturbing grandmother be
yOnd good and evil. A child needs in
a case of this kind not reprOOf or pun
iShment, but enlightenment. He must
learn the remOter meanings and i'm
he must learn 10 speak Discriminatory.
Whether the undesirable modes of
expression that we commonly call i'm
pudence are the results of initiating
bad models, or the results of unre-
strained freedom of expression. our
remedies are not to be sought in en-
forced silence. 1t is well for US To
know first Of all what the sources of
the impudence are. and then deal with
these. We cannot always regulate in
advance the language and manners of
the associates of our children. but we
can do great deal to make the home
Impressions what they ought TO be.
And IL is better for US TO know just
what the children think and feel and
improve their thoughts and feelings
than to foster hatred and hypocrisy
under the cloak Of decOrum.

tunity for the architect to express his
art, the less pretentious house yields
more order to make the design struc-
| turally practical.
The house shown in the accompany
ing illustrations Is of the one-story
bungalow type. Its room arrangement
VIII no doubt suggest several desirable
features which may be obtained in this
type of house.
There is one great hobby in room
arrangement that many people have.
In planning a home nearly every one
VIII insist on one large room with q
fireplace in 1t. The beauty of this
idea is that II is so practical. There
Is nothing more necessary 10 the home
than a room where everyone can
meet, and where there is plenty of room
TO entertain visitors.
In this age of the world we know
that surroundings have marked eff
rect on people and show their influence
on both their mental and physical
characteristics. A man does twice az
much work and is twice as happy in
modern daylight factory as in the old,
dark and dismal ones.
A room such as the living room in
this design plays the same part In the
home life. 1t is the meeting place of
the family, where the associations
have their important effect on the de-
veioping character of the children. II
Is also the place where friends and
relatives are entertained and where
the social part Of the community life
Is Kept up. II is rather necessary,
therefore, that this room be Of good

her own home. There is no question
OF disrespect or insolence. We learn
that the girl does not mean TO be Of
fensive. But ii is clear that she can
not cultivate reverence while she con-
tinues to speak in this manner 10 her
parents. What is at first but an inele-
CANT use of language comes In time to
be an unwholesOme attitude toward
other people. There are two things
we may do in such a case. We NAV
either establish the rule that the child
must use only certain kinds of express
sions and tones I'm addressing older
people, and must avoid others. This
would insure the preservation of the
outward forms. Or we may furnish
the child with the models that we
should not fear to have copied. We
must decide for ourselves which meth
cd we are to prefer: the arbitrary sep
aratiOn Of the child's notion of conduct
into that which is to be permitted to
elders but forbidden to children. and
that which is permitted to all. or the
cultivation of wholesome atmosphere
of considerateness and respect for 9th
ers.
When the offensive word or grimace
Is the genuine expression of hateful
mood, we have a different problem.
Under the older ideas of bringing I'D
children the chief emphasis was laid
on depressing the outward manifesto

There is always a question as to
just where the dividing line comes be-

builder in planning a house. Surely
the home builder desires a beautiful
house which he can point TO with
pride; but the architect, although his
feelings are not exactly those of the
home builder, also desires that the
house be beautiful. The home builder
wants every possible item which will
