The point that is mainly interesting
about coats for girls and misses lies In
their new style features, for they are
developed in all Of the soft, limp coat
ings that lend themselves to draping
or shocking or shirrings. Velours or
duvetyn, and similar cloths with new
names, make variety in the choice Of
coatings but do not provide a great
amount of dissimilarity, so that 1t Is
design and style that must serve to
distinguish them. Besides these hand
some and dressy fabrics there are the
dependable tweeds and homespuns In
sturdy coats for school, that are pre-
sented in trim and comfortable models.
Something new In design In coats
for the "junior miss"-which Is the
new and dignifed name by which the
flapper now finds herself placed--is
shown in the picture above. With 1t
there is a pretty coat for a little girl,
made Of velours with bands Of nutria
fur about the sleeves. This attractive
model is ornamented with triangular
inserts made Of the material, shirred
in parallel rows and set in at each
side, above the high waistline. Below

Wool furs, or fur fabrics, have be-
come thoroughly established staples
that manufacturers of suits and top
coats reckon with each fall in making
up their lines of practical garments.
Where wool furs undertake to look
like the pelts they initiate they are so
marvelously close to the original that
1t requires a careful inspection to dis
tinguish between them. Sealskin Is
initiated in wool fur that keeps one
guessing, unless it is almost within
arms length, and there are furs almost
as successfully initiated. But some
times the manufacturers of wool fur
use a genuine fur only as an inspi-
ration and interpret it in fabric
that is handsomer than the original.
This is what has been done in the
case Of the material that resembles
the natural muskrat pelt, which is
used so much for coats.
AS trimming for cloth suits wool
furs prove more practical than real
furs, from the standpoint of service,
and handsome wool fur is better
looking than cheap fur. 1t stands

up better. Manufacturers christen
their new productions with new names,
for the convenience Of buyers, but the
public prefers to call them by the
names of the furs they resemble.
A smart new suit Of duvetyn, shown
In the picture above, Is trimmed with
furfelt that looks like sealskin. The
coat model is one Of the most success
full that the season has presented, with
close-fitting body and basque that
falls in ripples at the sides. Rows OF
narrow silk braid appear on the basque
and on the sleeves. In passing, 1t may
be noted that this form of decoration
has made triumph this season, ap-
pearing persistently on the best mod
els in frocks and suits. The rows Of
braid on the sleeves terminate In large
bone buttons. The coat buttons up
the front and looks very coy and
trim with a high choker collar of the
wool fur. The belt Is interesting and
pleasing. 1t is very narrow and fas-
tens at the front with q most uneX-
pected little bow tie of the material,
instead of the usual button or buckle.

The two bedrooms and bath open of
corner Of the dining room. Each bed
room is 13 by 10 feet, and has two
windows, affording good light and
plenty of ventilation. Three closets
provide clothes storage space, each
bedroom having one, and the third Is
off the hall, next to the bathroom door.
The basement is finished in cement
plaster with a concrete floor. The
stairs leading to 1t open out of the
dining room, and 1t will be noted that
the flue is at that point. Thus no steps
will be wasted in getting 10 the heating
plant. There is ample room in the
basement for the heater and thu fuel
storage room while large porIion can
be partitioned off for rooms where food
is stored, and lawn and garden uten-
sils are kept when not in use.
While no stairway to the attic is
shown on the floor plan, it can be
placed where ehe closet off the hall is
placed, or by installing a movable
stairway in one of the bedrooms. The
movable stairway fits into the ceiling
and can be lowered ready for service
whenever wanted. This is a great
space saver, especially adapted TO
bungalows.
From the description and by study
of both the floor plan and the perspec.
tive, 1T will readily be seen that this
is an exceptionally good bungalow de
sign.
Building is the most satisfactory way
of acquiring a home. The exact num-
Der of rooms that are needed for the
family, the room arrangement in ac-

one drawn according to his ideas by
an architect.
Many pitfalls. however, await the in
experienced home builder. His ideas,
or some of them, may not be practi-
cable. The safest plan for the prospec-
tive builder is to consult an architect,
the contractor who he expects will
build the house, and the lumber or ma
terial dealer who will supply the ma
terials of which the home is to be con-
structed. All three of these men have

There is combined exterior beauty with
convenience, the rooms being all on

for the home less arduous, as there

efficiency demands that only rooms
