Evening wraps are featured in
three-quarter length, loose, flowing
Oriental coat styles with wide
straight sleeves, or in full length

cape is that shaped TO the shoulders
by gathers, series of darts, or
cores.
Costume jewelry holds good, ear
rings, necklaces, and decorative
pins for the hat being worn to
match. Pearls are extensively worn
both during the day and in the eve
ming. The new pearl necklaces are
strung with large eaboehon emer
aids, or with coral.
Jade, oynx and brilliants, and
black and red enamel with brilliants
arc the fashionable color combina-
ions in iewelry. Fob ornaments on
eweled ribbons are worn on hats

SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
ALL HONE MAKERS

To stiffen your organdy frock
dissolve powdered gum arabic
iaboHt cents worth will do in
little warm water; add two quarts
of boiling water and proceed the
same as when using ordinary starch.
Open the can of lobster, shrimp
or salmon a few hours before using
it. Pour contents into eolandcr and
pour boiling water over it; then
drain and cool. This removes the
''itinny" and fishy taste and inn
proves the flavor.
Use newspapers to wipe the
greasy pans before washing them.
The paper can be burned and there
will be no grease to clog up the
sink drainage.
When sewing, have q paper sack
at your side into which you may
drop threads and scraps. 1t saves
the time that one would otherwise
spend in oicking them up.
Sponges, grow sour quickly. be-
cause of the moisture they hold aud
they are injured by hot weather.
Here are two ways to clean them:
Soak in solution of warm soapy
water to which borax has been add
ed, tablespoon to quart; or take
the strained Juice of a lemon aud
add it to pint Of water, Allow
the sponge to absorb all of this aud
leave il in pail over night. In
the morning wash with warm soapy
water, rinse and dry.

HOUSES
Joseph zirkIe to Begin Work
on Modern Homes at
Low Prices

The finest bungalow in Brook
land, at q price under $4,000, is
the goal Of Joseph G, Zirl1le.
Zirlxle has total of more than
fifty bungalows and houses. either
under construction or to be started
In a very, short time. The first
group is eight bungalows on Tenth
street, of which six have already
been sold. This row is completed.
There are twelve more now under
roof Just around the corner. six
are located on Hamlin street and
the rest on Irving street. Four
more are to be started shortly on
the east side Of Tenth street.
This operation represents an in.
vestment Of more than $3.50, 900,
which is less than half of the
amount zirkle plans to spend in
this section OF the city within the
next six months.
Fine Appointments.
Zirkle says that these homes are
complete in every way and that he
believes them to be the finest in
construction and appointments Of
any now being built in Brookland.
The bungalows all contain five
rooms and tile bath while the two.
story houses have six rooms and
tile bath. All of the houses have
not water heat, electric lights and
hardwood floors throughout. Some
of the radical departures from the
average home of this price, are
built-in refrigerators, built-in bath
tub and fixtures, open fireplace and
Pittsburgh automatic hot water
heaters with storage tank attached.
The price Of these homes are under
$4,000 except the corner ones and
the two-story houses, which are
slightly more.
Plan Thirty More.
Soon after the first of the year,
Iirkle plans to- start e group. Of
thirty more homes Of 10th types
mentioned above, at Twelfth and
Girard streets northeast. He be.
Heves there is a big demand for
houses of the type he is building
IN this section, because the home
seeker finds here nearly all of both
city and suburban advantages.

HOMES
Domiciles to Have Many Re-
finements Sell
Under So, 900

Ground was broken yesterday
for an operation. totaling sixty
eight houses, to be built by the
Joseph Shapiro Co., Inc, at Eighth
and Farragut streets northwest.
This operation is the first to be
started by this firm in the Sher.
manor district for approximately
year. According to- q statement
made by Shapiro yesterday he has
owned this ground TO. more than
two years, and that there are sew
eral reasons for him not building
sooner.
Busy Elsewhere.
The first was that he was occu.
pied with a development OF homes
on Woodley place northwest, an
other on Sixteenth street northwest
and third development at Third
and Charming streets and Cromwell
terrace northeast.
Another reason advanced is that
by waiting until this time to start
building, all of the streets border
Ing this operation have been paved,
and numerous other improvements
have been made in this section by
other builders, which, of course, add
to the values of the :lcmes he plans
here. He says thai because he
bought this ground two Years ago
and because of the improvements
made since that time. which are
not included in the retail price of
the> houses going up, he will be
able to offer them to the public
at least $1,000 under the present
market values.
Prices Reasonable.
Shapiro also asserts that he win
be able. to incorporate. in these
homes many of the features found
in the houses his, firm built on
Woodley place northwest, which
sell for almost twice the prices
he intends asking for those in
this new operation.
He claims. too. that these new
houses will be similar in con-
struction and design to the Wood.
ley place homes. The actual re-
tail price of these new homes
is expected to be under $4,000,
which, according to Shapiro, will
make them the west-priced and
the best value in this section.
