At the meeting of the Hospital Aid
Circle held yesterday afternoon at the
home Of Mrs. Eugene Maxwell it was
decided to organize a second circle as

to make the work more difficult than
i. would be in smaller group. A
meeting is called for Monday after

circles, now, as they have from the
beginning, welcome all women who
are interested. The only qualification
for membership is the payment Of one
dollar although an ability to sew is a
valuable asset for member to have.
1t is very probable that these circles
vii! later become Red Cross societies.

service Miss Cornelia Meigs and
Miss Adalove Howell were the origin
ators OF the organization here.

for the house on any plot, and that lay
out can be determined only through
long, patient and careful study of all
the surrounding conditions.
Don't forget that the unSightly radi-
atOr may be successfully concealed by
grilles. There are TO be had special
grille designs, suited to the various
orders of decoration.
Don't, when laying out the lighting
system of the new house, fail TO plan
for adequate switch control. This is
one of the most important features in
the well-equipped modern home.
Don't, if you wish TO i've an air Of
SpaciOuSneSs 10 the rooms, fail TO
eliminate all unnecessary details.
Don't plan your new home without
taking into consideration the posi-
bilities of the grounds. In these days
Of out-of-dOOr living, the garden, the
pergola, the sun-rOOm. the arbOr and
the tea-rOom are all really extensions
of the house itself.
