Finding home has been an arduous
fob IN many cities and towns during
tire last two years. While the de-
nszn5s Of industry have drawn many
workers from the rural communities
&aae restrictions on building made nee
.essarv by the war have kept the
huzIders from providing the homes
sfsak Che demand ordinarily would pro-
szuce-
Now, however, the restrictions have
Been removed and building can go on.
This building of homes is being fos-
tered by the United States govern
aaenf. which, through William B. VIII
aa1z. secretary of the u. S. department
az labor. is urging the necessity of
szEEdIng to provide work for those of
rise building trades who have been re-
Eezssed from military duty.

Beginning with organdie and pro-
crossing through the lighter silks to
the new trieot and satin families, sep
arate skirts finally arrive, by way of
light f1annels. to the heavier and more
practical wooIens. Their history re-
veals that in years gone by they began
where they now leave off, with utility
skirts made of sturdy wool materials.
For it is the dainty and elegant skirts
for resort wear, and those maryels of
smart character that are classed as
sport skirts that command the most
attention.
A fair example of the smart styles
for spring appears in the model pic
tured. The pattern is woven in broad

HAILING THE HAPPY EVENT
Some Novel Birth Announcements
Sent Out Following the Arrival
of "Littie Stranger"

The war is evidently responsible for
the following 'birth" announcement
which appeared recently in a Paris pa
per: "Since twelve o'clock last Friday
l am here. Pierre Blouget of - in
fantry is my father and Marie, his
wife, is my mother. My name is Fran
co.'s" Distinctly original was the an
nouncement sent out by a Welsh
musician when his wife presented
him with a baby girl. 1t took
the form of four bars of music in
scribed on a letter card. The recipi-
ents easily recognized these as from
"The Messiah unto us a child is
born" A facetious Scotsman named
Cash amused his friends by an init

nation through the newspapers that
his better half had presented him with
"a little Cash." He went on to say
that as result he would have still less
cash in the future. and the mere Cash
he had to keep, the less cash he would
have to spend" Combining a birth
announcement with an advertisement
strikes one as the last word in enter
prise, and Mr.. Fox, poultry dealer,
who inserted the following notice in
tine papers, should be congratulated on
the novel way in which he commended
his wares: another little Fox found
its way into my establishment between
ten and eleven last night; but notwith-
standing its arrival there will be no
diminution in the number or quality
of the geese for which my establish
ment has long been famous. Remem-

idea appeals to The tourist, especially

Connected that there is not the neees-
sity Of going around one to get to
another.
The exterior view shown gives an
idea of how attractive it may be made
on the outside, considering that it is
planned for a small city lot. The long
space in the sun parlor for window
boxes, the expanse along the front for
shrubs and the stretch of lawn all
make il attractive.
To those who are the owners Of
small lots in cities and towns, or who
are about to buy a building lot and do
not want to put into it the consider
able sum that is necessary where real
estate is expensive. this design Will
have a strong appeal.
The more the plan is studied the
more it viii be seen that here is econ
omy of space, coupled with an attrac-
tive and convenient home.
Small Homes Get Attention.
Some of the best architects in the
now are giving more and more
to the planning of small
homes. 1Geeause of this fact, the de-
signs made nowadays embody some ex-
eellent features. It should be remem-
bered when planning to build that the
small sum required as fee to an ar
chitect is money well spent, in that it
saves costly mistakes and assures the
best that can he secured for the money
Building this year is going to be ex-
tensive, so the family that intends to
be in its own home before winter
comes again ought to begin consider
ing the subject. This design gives an
excellent working basis from which to
formulate the plans for that home in
the city or town.

guards for the mines.
The single point of difference be-

precision and less fuss over detail.

veterans of St. Mihiel. the Argohne

They were led outside and held while
