and organdie.
One of the newest comers in the field
is old-fashioned calico, which is made
up into charming simple little frocks,
with collar and cuffs, belt, ETC., of
white linen or pique. Sometimes a
surplice waist has long ends that con-
tinue to the back of the frock, where
they are tied in high, wide bow, and
occasionally these ends are finished all
around with an inch wide ruffie of self
fabric. Ruffles and tucks trim the
skirts. These calico dresses, it is be-
lieved, will be strong rivals of the ging-
ham dresses, introduced last season
and revived for 1918.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

The garage is the Cinderella of ar
chitecture. No one seems to care much
how it looks, how ugly its dress, or
where it is placed, if it is not obtruded.
1t is only occasionally that some build
er with the power of the fairy god
mother waves over it the wand of his
taste and his imagination, and reveals
the dingy, neglected thing in all the
possibilities of beauty.
There is no reason in the world why
garage should be hopelessly ugly.
Yet it has degenerated even from its
ancestor, the stable or carriage house
which had at least some semblance OF
taste. The artistic possibilities of the
garage, even on the grounds of fine
country homes, rarely seem to have
been recognized.

FooIproof Match.

A waterproof, windproof, foolproof
match has been invented by a man
who once won a prize from the Bel
gian government for producing a nom
phosphorus safety match. United
States authorities have tested the new
matches and given orders for guam
tity of them. They will be used OIL
shipboard in bad weather for lighting
signal rockets. They will burn five
seconds in spite of strong wind, and
water does not damage them. The
ash is cool the instant the blaze is ex
tinguished. so they may be thrown any
where. That is why they are called

Floor Plan of Two-car Garage.

ing results are often reached by max
ing it a combination building to do
more than merely to house automo-
biles. Keeping a country place is a
work that is rarely finished. There is
always a tendency to expansion and
new needs that have no limits but the
purse of the owner. A new garage
may afford opportunity to make it COM
bine an extra room for the help, bowl
ing alley, tool room, storage space for
garden and porch furniture, or what
ever the yearning fancy of the owner
may make him feel is essential for his
comfort, or ease, or convenience.
The man who eventually planned
and built this good looking garage, as
Illustrated in the photograph, had been
collecting ideas about garages and had
studied the subject until he had some
well-defned ideas about what he want
ed. One day he summed the PROPOSE
ton up for me in these words:
"When I build a garage-and some
day l am going to, in order to get away
from the high cost of boarding" at
the public garage-I will build my gar.
age in the back yard close to the house
and will make it as nearly fireproof as
can. That is, the floor will be con-
crete and the walls hollow tile.

Some simple jersey dresses are

is the fashionable yellow, Alice blue

OId-Fashioned Calico Is One of the
Newcomers Among the Favored
Materials.

Gray gaberdine and navy satin are
combined in this simple little frock,
sleeves and yoke being of navy geor-

gaberdine braided in navy. This dress
fastens in the center back, and the
pleated skirt is drawn in harem fash

which is not fashionable this season.
If desired the dress might be made
up in two shades of linen with sleeves
and yoke of sheer net or fine voile,
or it may be entirely of satin either
in one or two colors, with sleeves and
yoke of net or georgette.
