VILLAGE GOSSIP
Young Peoples Society.

Young Peoples Society.
The Young Peoples Society of the
Palisade Church took up the subject of
Generosity" last Sunday evening, Mrs.
Harry Clark, Jr., leading. The discus
sion on the subject was highly inter-
esting, remarks being made by w. r.
Goodman, Rev. Mackenzie, Mrs. Stef
fens, Mr.. Logan, Miss Hilda Nienstadt,
Helen Paulson, Dorothy Schall and
others. "Will Poverty Be Abolished,
and Why?" was one of the subjects re-
lated to the main topic, the stand be-
ing taken that poverty was blessing,
rather than a detriment to the world,
in that it was the cause of the great
est achievements through ambition to
rise above environment.
From Bailey Willard.
Bailey Willard, formerly the literary
light of Palisade, but who removed to
California some seven years ago, is
now managing editor of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin. In a recent letter to
the editor of The Palisadian Mr.. Mil
lard tells that he has now become an
autoist these three years agone. He
and wales around his home city and
says he gets the most happiness out
of it of anything he does. He is now
living in town house, and there is
no doubt but that he enjoys every mo-
ment of his life, for he believes in be-
tpc fuY.n
getting the most out of all he has. He
is true sport In his letter Mr.. Mil
lard thinks our governmental policies
at the present time are dead wrong
and promise to be much worse. He Of
fers no balm and presumably believes
we can only wait for developments.
There was never such radical stand
among publicists as at this writing.
Restrictions Upset.
That Palisade is improving is readi-
ly seen by the most casual glance
that is, it is improving in certain
sense. Houses are going up in many
sections of the village-more, perhaps,
than at any time for many years. The
restrictions that made the finer grade
of homes necessity in certain re-
stricted sections were workable before
the present high prices on material
came along. Then section of Pail
SADIE required that $500 home be
built, or that $4,000 home be upon
another section nearer the river and
so on throughout the various divisions

obliterated, so far as concerns the
bringing in the better grade of houses
for homes. A $4,000 home today
would not have cost more than $4,000
five years ago, and would have been
forbidden east of Palisade avenue. So
cial ethics, of course, forbid any men-
ton of what person might or might
not be in the social scale who happens
to live in mere $4,000 home today.
And so the $4,000 home man cannot
legally object to neighbOr who comes
here and lives up to the restrictions.
The matter may be disposed of to the
satisfaction of some, but not with
pleasure to all. The trouble is that
when we come to differentiate between
the cost of home and the people in it
we run amuck, for oftentimes far bet
ter folk may be in the more modest
home-better from any angle. This
means, of course, that a mere house
that holds people does not stand for
character. That is the plain English
of it.
The new house next to the former
Foeppel home is looking mighty sweet
as homes go. The first story is of red
brick, the second being shingled, in
Guiding the attic peak story. The front
porch is very pretty red brick effect,
with walls all around instead of BAN
mister rails. The garage is built on to
the north side of the house, with en-
trance from within the house-a very
convenient arrangement. 1t will be a
highly ornamental addition to Dear
born road.
Another Fine Home.
Another beauty of a house is just
being finished over just in the rear of
the Hunicke home. The Hunicke home
