DINNER DANCE OF
SATURDAY EVENING.

With the approach of the carnival
an additional impetus is given to the
social gaities, and those who have
guests are enjoying many small and
early affairs and informal courtesies,
in addition to the large functions
which always feature carnival enter
tanning. Many who have guests are
planning to attend the dinner dance
at the San Carlos hotel this evening,
many reservations having already
been made.
In addition to the usual program
of music and dancing, the guests will
enjoy the singing of Professor and
Mrs. C. s. Br.erley, of Chicago, who
have recently come to Pensacola. Mrs.
Brierley has beautiful soprano voice
and Prof. Brierley a rich baritone,
and their singing viii add much to
the pleasure of the evening.

Y. w. C. A. REST ROOM.

If you are a business woman with
little time to spare, a hurried house
wife, with much shopping to do, a
woman of leisure seeking a new and
pleasant experience, or a visitor to
the city, with time banging heavy on
your hands, there is one very cosy
and inviting spot in Pensacola, where
one always finds pleasant welcome
and rest from the fretting cares of
the busiest day.
When the Y. w. G. A. decided to
open the rest room in the Masonic
building, they had in view the Great
ing of just such an environment as
they have achieved-and they have
accomplished these results through
many sacrifices, not only on the part
of the rest room committee, but of
those who have had charge of Gre
work and the board of directors as
a whole.
On the second floor of the Masonic
building, on the corner of Gregory
and Palafox, the Y. w. C. A. not
only has established charming rest
room, but hot lunches are served ev-
cry day, under the management OF
Miss Reffie Smith, who made such a
success of the Green Tea room.
Amid the pleasant surroundings OF
comfortable furnishings, dainty fit
tings and growing plants, lunches
are served each day from eleven t.
three, and one may get hot soup
a vegetable, one kind of meat anC
bread and butter, for twenty cents
which is but ten cents more than car.
fare home. Hot coffee, tea, desserts

and salads may be bought, too, for a
very small sum, making the lunch
room very desirable place for wom-
en-, especially on Saturdays, when
everyone is more or less pressed for
time.
Miss Reffie Smith, who is in charge
of the rest room, is very charming
to talk with, as well as a very capable
person, and to sit at one of the beau
tifully clean tables, to eat one of her
hot lunches, her dainty desserts, or
her appetizing salads, gives one re-
newed vigor for the work of the day.
The rest room, which is fitted up
with a comfortable couch and easy
chairs and potted plants, is delight
full place for a bit of fancywork, a
chapter from the latest book, the
news of the day, or just to "let go"
and rest for a while, before going
back to take up again the days rou-
tine-whatever it may be, whether
work or play.
Have you ever thought it your duty
10 visit the I. w. Y. A. rest room ?
Pleasure and duty do not always GO
hand in hand, but in this instance
they do, and if you are a wise per-
son, and interested in helping to make
a success of the Y. w. c. A, and what
it stands for in the community. you
will make a habit of stopping in al
the rest room, nor viii you go away
without making some contribution, nc
matter how small, for it must be re-
membered that it takes money to keer
| up this work-money and the GOOD
will of those who care.

New York, Feb. 9.-"Wearing a
barrel" is no longer a joke. Scores of
women are parading on Fifth avenue
every day in BARREL effects" And
they are not actresses or manequins,
either.
The most conservative of fashion
ables have seized with joy upon the
astonishing "barrel" coat and "bar-
rel" skirt without the S q test modi-
fication of the Paris originals.
The barrel silhouette is most easily
attained by varying the pattern of
Zouave trousers. The curving hip

HIGH SCHOOL DANCE
THIS EVENING
AT ARMORY.

The boys and girls of the P. n. S.
are looking forward with no small
degree of pleasure to the high school
dance to be given this evening at
the armory hall. AS this is the mid
winter dance, many are planning to
attend, the committee in charge of
the arrangements having provided for
unusually good music for the eve
ming.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-02-10

Many of the smart barrel coats are
much more extreme than this model.
They are tighter at the waist, wider
across the hips and narrower at the
hem. The above model is not at all
pronounced, although the average
conservative woman will undoubtedly
'feel funny" the first time She puts
it on.
For those who are fascinated by ex-
aggerations, there are coats cut with
horizontal seam through the skirt,
whereto is fastened an inverted circu-
lar flounce, that is, one which is
wider where it joins the upper ga1A
ment than it is at the hem.

See the sad eyes which shadow forth

To cheer him in the quest he goes

HOME T. :.
TOWN -
REM0DELED HOUSE LIKE NEW
Dwelling That ls Made over May
Come Nearer Meeting Needs Than
One Constructed to Order.

The remodeled house Is often more
comfortable, charming and satisfying
than one built new. Buying a house
already built is much like purchasing
clothes ready-made; it is never quite
a perfect fit; there is never perfect
harmony with individual needs and re-
quirements, says Noble Foster
Hoggson in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Remodeling makes 1t virtu-
ally a new house, with the added adj
vantage that, the general plan being
satisfactory, 1t is easier to see just
what notifications and improvements
are needed than to see them in mag
nation from a study of the archi-
tect's plans for a complete new
building.
An old house, endeared through
years of occupancy and association,
grows into n familiar adjustment to
the needs of the family. But usually
there comes a growing realization Of
the many ways in which it might be
altered and improved. The growing
family requires more rooms or
changed arrangements; or the taste of
the owner, becoming finer with the
years, or bettered fortune making 1t
easier to make his dreams a reality,
brings him face to face with the
problem of remodeling, should he not
care to move to a new dwelling which
might prove, when tested by occu-
pancy, less satisfying.
The two principal reasons for re-
modelling are the unitarian and the
esthetic; the need of more space or
more convenience and comfort and
the natural desire to make the home
more beautiful to the eye. Both re-
quirements can be met perfectly by
proper r%emodeling, which may really
prove an actual transformation. Re-
modelling gives a stamp Of individu-
atty to a dwelling as nothing else
can, for it means the revising Of the
building within and without to har-
monte with individual tastes and
needs.

Native Trees Are Desirable.

Many people have the decidedly mis-.
taken idea that the only trees worth
buying and setting out are the more or
less expensive shrubs or evergreens
which are not native to most sections
of the country. The idea of paying out
good money for a pine or a birch or u
maple seems to go against the grain.
AS a matter Of fact there are many
places where such trees are to be had
for the trouble of digging them up and
transplanting them, but even this Is
considered too high u price. And yet
for many purposes pines and naples
are as good trees as can be had, and
there Is nothing listed in the catalogue
more beautiful and graceful than a
well cared-for group of white birches.

ZAPATA KEPT HIS PROMISE

ful to escape with such n modest de-
mand, the bankers did as they were

bargain, and for months the city was
better policed than it has ever been
since Portirio piaz was driven from

OF the story-Surange to one who

COST SHOULD Be IN HARMONY
Amount Put In House Should Not BE
Out Of Proportion to the Value
of the Site.

One Of the most grievous mistakes
the owner car make Is to build a house
which is out Of proportion to the value
of the land on which it is erected. The
higher the cost Of the land the better,
as a rule, the character of future build
Ing operations in the neighborhood.
For instance, It Is generally unwise
to build a house costing 5000 or
$4,000 on a site costing less than $25
to $40 a front foot. Nor should the
reverse mistake be made of building q
cheap house on an expensive site
though that Is governed by the re-
strictions which most developers of
high-grade subdivisions impose. Cost
of house and cost of site should be in
fairly strict proportion.
Buy as much ground as you can rea-
sonably afford. Twenty-five-foot lots
In a suburban section are an abomina-
ton. Fifty-foot frontage should be the
minimum for any modern residence
built for a home, and 100 feet with the
added possibilities Of attractive lawn
and garden is better.
AS a bit of advice here is an excerpt
from a booklet recently issued by a
realty broker:
Forced growth in anything is haz-
ardous; natural growth Is a guaranty
of stability and permanent values. De-
mand governs supply, not supply de-
mand. A piece of real estate has no
fixed value until sOmeon takes it to
keep and improve"
