America has been sending over silks

Maybe we will continue to do so. Per-

THE HOUSEHOLD
Making Our Houses Tropical.
Edited by ANNE RIrTENHOUs1

Making Our Houses Tropical.
It really does seem as If to within
decade or SO ago all our city and
town houses, except in the extreme
south OF the country. were made with
a complete disregard of the fact that
altho for one season OF the year we
are frozen in ice and snow, for an.
other we are dipped into the sun and
climate Of the tropics. Most Ameri-
warm, all the year round have until
recently been adapted to frigtd zones.
Their architecture is entirely suitable
for the few extremely cold months It
is suitable for Iceland and Labrador.
But it is not at all suited for the warm
and hot seasons.
Ideally speaking. Of course. 1.-The fam
lilies that lived in those frigid zone
houses. all migrated on the first of
June to seashore or mountain-all

self to us-and has been very well
met by domestic architects-of max
ing a house that shall be habitable in
both summer and winter. Instead Of
a town house and a summer cottage
nowadays, we like to have a suburban
house where we can at least be COM
Portable all the year round or a town
house where we may manage to
breathe during the warm months
when we happen to find that 1t IL con-
venient to stay in town in summer.
The main thing to make the house
do for warm weather is to have more
and larger windows. and these win
dows, of course. must be fitted well
enough to Withstand winter winds.
This is not an impossible problem at
all and we are finding out that often
in southern room these enlarged
windows serve the purpose of letting
in a flood of sunshine in winter that
adds to the cheer and warmth in cold
weather.
Plenty of porches. too. that In the

New York.-TLe history Of taffeta
is not important; but if written up. it
would begin with the earliest fabrics
and would show itself threading its
way, like a shuttle, in and out OF the
centuries.
1t IS liked and It is disliked; it is
taken up by the mass and denied by
the exclusives; it is offered at high
price by tho great dressmakers, and it
can be bought for ten dollars from the
window peg Of a small, ready-to-wear
shop.
1t does not ey en- have the steady
friends that serge and satin continue
to keep in their train and yet, it rare
ly leaves VS. for more than season
and always find sufficient buyers to
give it a good reason for being kept
on the market.
Used This Season for Economy.
There is every reason to believe that
it will be widely used for several
months to come, despite the prejudice
against it on the part of certain Sec
tors Of we'll dressed women.
1t IS produced in America in great
quantities and in good colorings. Now
that we have achieved SO much in the
way of dyeing; now that we have real
ly learned how to put color into fabric
SO that it will not fade or wash out,
we should join hand with the British
in standing upright on our feet in this
department of commerce.
1t Ia alleged that we will never need
any more German dyes. If the war
teaches US nothing else but the utiliza-
ton OF our resources. it will do much

produce good fairies and to rely on
ourselves for a vast amount of clever
clothing are three of the measures of
