Needless Discomfort Of Cities.

When the dOg-Star RACES and the
fierce heats envelop the earth, the
imperfections of the city as a dwelling
place become most apparent. Hot
weather is hot everywhere; but the
baking payements, rejecting furiOusly
the rays of the sun, add a peculiar
discomfort. And as they retain their
heat long after the sun has gone down.
they play leading part in making the
night comfortless.
Here is where the value of grass
and trees is most conspicuous. Every
little park. every shaded street. is an
asset of enormous value.
1t has come to be realized that even
manufacturing districts need not be
ugly and uncomfortable. The modern
factory is very different sort of af
fair to the old. Suppose all our cities
had been laid out with tree-lined
streets, abundant open spaces, fire.

wall paper can be used to advantage

Doll furniture may be made from
the thin boards that come in boxes.
After it is made, enamel it to make
it more attractive. Remember that one
must. always apply fiat paint before the
enamel. One mother who made her
little girl lot of doll furniture used
odds and ends of gay cretonne instead
Of paint for covering it. Small cushs
ions may be made of cretonne to fit
in the little chairs or settees. One
mother made a little sun parlor in
the house and placed tiny, swinging

realize that very great saving
is possible in making toys at

have accumulated one can make ami
NAL toys, as rabbits, dogs, cats, bears,
elephants, as well as many of the char
acter dolls that will prove to be
perfect delight to small children.

Many of them, coming home at the

agree to call together.
Then they would have a good time,
singing, talking, laughing. Marjorie
was such good sort. The whole

She played the piano well for dane
ing and had the kind of voice which
made others want to gather around
the piano anf join in the chorus.
In truth, without Marjorie the
bunch" would have been oftentimes
very lonely, very restless and wretched.
Marjorie danced we'll. too and if one
wanted a girl to come up to prom or

fit in anywhere. Then, too. she
