Is Home-Mnking a Lost Art?
A Message to the Readers of
The Times by a Writer for
The Times-She Answers
Fifty-seven Varieties of

CANNOT AFFORD A
HOME

"Home-making is a lost art.
Everybody these days lives in a
one-room apartment, o. takes
rooms, or a hotel suite, o, any
thing but a house." said Miss
Lynch. expert on home economics.
This is especially true of
city life where there is always
an artificial environment and
crowded conditions. The hearth
stone is no longer the gathering
place for evenings at home.
Commercialized places OF amuse-
ment are sought. and everybody
goes to the dance or the movies,
or out to dinner.
II do not mean to say that the
homing instinct is dead. In fact
in the country and country towns
it thrives as ever. l mean to say
that city folks no longer can af-
ford homes. They really want
them just as much as ever, but
can't afford them. / lock for
ward to the day when everybody
will again be able to afford a

"Dr. Butler announced in London re-

"The Knights OF Coli'-tus will OPP

col pounds. His propensity for stealing
money to buy candy was curbed yester-

The boy was taken to court on the
complaint OF his father. Joseph r..

he had an inordinate craving.
Joseph was public school graduate

boy has had at least half dozen
positions in the last two years. all OF

Joseph ate as much as 81 worth of
candy a day. which was more than he
had earned. the father said.
