thing else to think about.
But today, All! It Is quite differ
ent. The Subject Of homes, rents,
building costs and labor troubles are
all absorbing, and It seems everyone
from the stenographer to the boss him
self is keenly interested. This has
come about through reversal in con-

fact they have reached the point where
many families cannot pay; buildings
are scarce there are at least 1900, 600
homes short, not to mention other
types Of structures, and practically
everyone is affected.
AS a consequence the Idea OF a

gay and jazzy variety. The day was
sad and dreary, wet under foot, foggy
and generally miserable. The shop
she entered was manned by com.

over to the most gloomy forebod!ngs.
Abandoned to depression, her frock
sagged, her hair was listless and
dropping. Into this broodlng meian-

These people are looking for ideas
in building because they have come
to realize fully that home ownership
is the short and direct cut to happi'
ness. They want ideas. And we hope
to help them.
For those who are limited In means
who want the best their money can
get, we suggest that they pause a
moment and consider the delightful
small home shown here with floor
plan.
A glance at the picture shows
very attractive cozy design, built OF
frame with brick steps and front
porch. There is q quaint air about
the dwelling that sends out strong
appeal and its inherent coziness is q
quality in its favor. The design does
not call for any special construction
nd, being more or less rectangular

struction. In fact it is designed to offer
the builder something worth while at
a very reasonable outlay.

Two Africans Were Members OF
Narvaez' Expedition OF That Year,
According to History.

The first record Of negro slaves
within the present boundaries Of the
United States is found in an account
Of the Spanish expedition of Narvaez
To Florida In 1928, which included two
negroes. But the negro was not in
Florida to stay until 1865, when a few
landed with Memedez' co|onists. 1t

In this stresslng Of color and crepe Is

The simple crepe frock to the left, Is
indicative of the new monotone crepe
afternoon costume.
Classic draping, as is shown to the
right in the navy crepe frock, bead
embroidered, is also a decided feature
of the seasons modes.
In tn day when wells were wells, we
wore them over the face; now we
wear them over the hat, the Shout

There are wells, however, that are
true to original intention, but they are
limited, for the most part, to chenille
dotted yardage. BY the way, these
dots are preferably small this season.
