living In some ones else house. A

he is concerned with the thing he pos
sesses, says an exchange. Smith. who
owns no house, is concerned with somet
thing he lacks. Jones is homesick only
when he is away from home. Smith
can never be homesick in any place oth@
er than his home. Jones is an owner.
a master, a liege lord of lands and, all
that is therein. Smith is a tenant, a
payer of rent, a slave of tribute. Jones
dwells on the right side of the door.
Smith is eternally wishing that he did.
1t is never too soon to begin planning
that house which some day you are ,go-
ing to want to build. 1t is never too
soon, but sometimes too late, to save
the money for a start toward 1t. The
start is all that is necessary.

Fishlnu on Sunday.

Sunday fishing, which has long been
looked upon as s~acrilegious in the Isle
of Man, threatens to lose some Of it's
terrors for the ''unco guid," notes an
exchange. Until recently the North OF
England and Scotch fishermen engaged
in the Manx herring trade have kept
Sunday so vigorously that they have
remained in port from Saturday morn'
ing to Monday afternoon. Fishermen
from the South, resenting the loss Of
two nights fishing, have tried to break
through the tradition and a Fleetwood
boat put out to sea n Sunday eve
ming recently, returning the next day
with a good catch. The buyers at first
looked askance at the herring as "Sun'
day-cGught," but finally they were sold
at q fair price.

Rome in the days Of Augustus was q city Of
more than 100000 persons, and 1t did not have a
single hospital.
The city was built mainly of brick, with narrow,
tortuous streets. But it had some broad and
well-paved thoroughfares, the fashionable avenue
being the famous Appian way, which was the
metropolitan terminus, so to speak, of one Of the
great military roads that radiated from Rome as
a center to all parts of the empire.
The houses of the rich, and even those of the
fairly well-to-do, were supplied with running wa
ter. No modern system of aqueducts surpassed
that of ancient Rome, and the water was dis
tributed to dwellings by underground pipes that
furnished the fluid through lead pipe connections
to tanks elevated on pillars at regular intervals
along the street, From these tanks lead pipes
carried the water to the houses on either side,
which were provided with faucets and basins like
our houses of today.
This In itself is a very interesting fact, because
even two centuries ago there was no such ade-
quate system of water supply for cities anywhere
in the civilized world. In respect of this import
ant item of civilization, the destruction Of Rome
by war put the world back about 1900 years.
When Julius Caesar first visited Alexandria In
Egypt, the occasion on which he was captured by
the Greek charms of Cleopatra, he found there so
complete an underground water-supply system
that the city seemed "hollow underneath"
The aqueducts of ancient Rome, substantial re-
mains of which still exist, supplied numerous

There were no street lamps. Soldiers employed
as policemen carried torches through the streets.

use In European cities a couple of centuries ago.

An Odd Fish--The Sea Horse

If mermaids were no bigger than some fairies
they might have horses to ride. The sea horses
are creatures familiar enough, though most people
have never seen one alive. Summer visitors at
the seashore find them for sale-very dead, and
dried-at shops that specialize in marine curios.
The sea horse (naturalists say) is one Of the
most ancient of fishes. 1t Is one of natures
oldest imitatiOns-a "camouflage," so to speak.
1t has a horselike head, and its body is so
shaped as to resemble the neck of that uuadru-
ped. But really, when one comes to examine 1t.
the thing it counterfeits Is the knight piece of
the chessboard.
The sea horse has a tubelike snout, at the end
of which are the mouth and jaws. Its head is
topped by a sort of coronet. Clad in a complete
suit of armor plates, 1t cannot fex its body like
other fishes, and its fnless tail is of no use for
locomotion.
1t feeds on small shr1mps and other crusto-
ceans. Occasionally, uncoIling its tail from the
supporting plant, 1t swims slowly, not like other
fishes, but always In a vertical position. its bock
fin vibrating rapidly.
Like other fishes, the sea horse possesses an
air-bladder, which Is always distended by a ouan-
dty OF gas so exactly adjusted for eouilIbrlum
that, If a single bubble no larger than the head
or a small pin be extracted, the creature falls 70
the bottom and must crawl about until the wound
is heaied and a fresh supply of gas has been
secreted.
But the most remarkable point about the sen
horse is that the male is provided with an ex-
ternal stomach-pouch, In which, at the mating sea-
son, the female deposits her eggs. The linIne
membrane of the pouch secretes a nutritious huid
on which the young, when Matched, are fed, When
they are big enough to take care of themselves
the father sea horse rubs his stomach against q
Wrinkle shell or some other convenient object, and
oy tnis means forces them out into the water

atoms or Furniture.

While house plans, interior decora-
tons and furniture play a prominens
part in the life of the new home build
er, care of the grounds about the house
should likewise be given considerations
particularly as regards the planting Of
trees to trim up the general appear
ance of the house.
In tree planting great care, foresight
and judgment are required, says ~
young trees, their proper setting apart
and their care after planting make
beautiful grounds possible. In shade
tree planting as in the construction Of
a building, the plan for the completed
work should be determined in ADVANCE
for the tree planter must picture to
himself how his work will look a great
number Of years later and with him 1t
rests whether the result is to be one
of satisfaction or regret.
In making selections one must bear.
In mind that the tree must possess GER
tain characteristics to be desirable. In

To make this dress for a little girl of
six or eight years, one yard of velvet or
velveteen SO inches wide and one and q
half yards of plaid fabric the same
width will be required.
The dress might be developed in
Scotch plaid Bingham and plain-color

One little frock recently noted, de-
signed for a little girl Of eight or ten
years, was made of black velvet and
cut on straight princess lines, side but
toned and trimmed with embroidery
done in bright red and green silk.
Velvet In black and dark shades is
being used extensively in the develop
ment of suits, coats and frocks for
young girls this season.
When black velvet frocks are worn
they must be extremely simple. Ere
quently a bright color touch is given
by the use of wool embroidery, and the
white collar and cuffs are often used.
Sometimes satin is employed, and
again neck and sleeves are finished
with bands of flet lace.

FROCKS FOR GIRLS
FRENCH CORSET IS STRAIGHT
corselet Effect Is Dominating Feature
Of Majority Of Frocks-Hieh COL
lars, Skinny Skirts Popular.

Paris has accumulated the endeavor
to make the human figure look like a
lead pencil. The French corsets of this
season are built as straight as a me
dieval cuirass, says a fashion writer in
the New York Times.
The corselet effect, in truth, is the
dominating feature of the majority Of
frocks. The First Empire waistline is
brought In by many of the designers in
order to accentuate the lack of a waist.
Even the jackets for street suits drop
in straight lines from the shoulders to
the hips, unless they carry out the sur
plice effect.
The extraordinary wide girdles Of
this season accentuate the Egyptian
figure.
1t Is difficult to know exactly what
France has decided upon in the way of
a proper neckline. On street suits the
collars rise so high that they are called
the "cache-nez," or nose coverings.
There is the new trench mufier, an
apache cravat, and a postillion collar
OF the eighteenth century for the
street; and for the house there are
gowns that are buttoned to the chin,
with the material "going wei the top"
Others have the loose handkerchief
drapery, the fifteenth century Italian
collar, and the conventional high, roll
ing collar that shows a bit of neck be-
low the chin.
A very few Of the new skirts sweep
the instep. The rest are frankly short.
Street suits have skirts that appear to
be simply two breadths Of material cut
Off at the hem to allow the fullest dis
play of the highest boot made.
There is a strong feeling abroad for
the elongated skirt in evening gowns
and women are insisting that they al
most touch the toes in front. They are
so narrow that they are easily wrinkled
up over the ankles as the wearer
moves,

know that this country is aiding the allied nations
In exterminating so-called "kultur" and In estab-
fishing peace on earth for centuries at least. The
boys will give thanks because they have been
privileged to give their services, their money for
Liberty bonds and their lives, If necessary, to
bring to a close this worst struggle of all the ages.
AT the naval stations elaborate programs have
been prepared. Mrs. William A. Moffett, wife of
the commandant of Great Lakes naval training
station, early conceived the idea of giving a big
Thanksgiving dinner to the 10000 boys now train
ing there. Actuated by her splendid mother spirit,
Mrs. Moffett confded her wish to some of her
friends.
Cant We do something to bring home a little
closer to the boys for just one day." Mrs. Moffett
asked. "Many Of the young boys actually need to
pass Thanksgiving in a real home-they have been
separated from their own people so long that their
hearts are calling out for a glimpse into a home
where there is a mother, father, som noisy
children and home-cooked food"
Mrs. Moffett's idea quickly became popular. A
committee was formed to secure the boys who
were to accept the scores of invitations from Chi
cagoans and other hospitable people along the
north shore of Lake Michigan who showed a de-
sire to entertain the jackies on Thanksgiving day.
Chaplain Charles w. Moore lent his aid in select
ing the boys for the invitations. More than 1000
young men were granted liberty to visit the homes
where they are guests of honor for a real Thanks

GREEN RIVAL TO DARK BLUE
Jade Clothes and Jewelry Also Popu-

Midnight blue holds its own.

Nldni6hl Dlu0 uOluS It's OVID,
Black is in demand by those who
want to dress well in the afternoon
and evening, but 1t does not hold a
high place for street suits or frocks.
Dark green is a serious rival to dark
blue, and the French dressmakers who
exploited it last year are now reaping
n reward because the public is accept
ing it. A woman must know herself
well, however, before touching any
tone of green. If she is picturesque,
she can wear it in any one of the
shades that are variously known as
jade, Egyptian and lettuce.
The woman who can wear Jade
clothes and jewelry has a successful
season before her, for man. of the
