Hallway Is Barometer of

The hallway offers the visitor first
impression of your home. 1t is sort
of barometer by which the newcomer
will unconsciously judge the personal

Whether large or small the hallway
should be inviting. 1t should be fur
nished in good taste. blending the In
formal with the formal. If the re-
mainder of the house is decorated in
the informal atmosphere of coy
apartment or small home, the hall
should offer this atmosphere with a
touch of the formal about it. That
note will make the intimate rooms
more attractive by contrast.
There are so many different types
Of Railways. from the extremely small
one TO the "living hail." that it is not
practical to offer specific methods of
decorating Yet every hallway, re-
CARELESS of size, should be equipped
with the essential accessories. A chair
or bench for guests who may have to
walt A console table which provides
a mirror by which incoming or depart
ing guests can give final survey OF
their appearance A tray for letters
should be provided and plate for
calling cards. An umbrella stand Of
fers splendid service.
When these details have been pro-
vided, the hallway can be dressed
to suit the remainder of the home.
Simplicity should be the keynote of
the foyer as gaudy decorations are out
of the pale of good taste.

On With Home Cunning

The register Of deeds Of Wyandotte
county says Kansas City, Kan, is in
a fair way to become the leading city
OF the country In the percentage Of
home owners. That official has been
noting the unusual number Of realty
transfers, and the fact that many
working men and others with limited
means have been buying homes. 1t
will be great for Kansas City, Kan,
Of course If that city gets in fore
most place in this important matter;
but building permits indicate that
Kansas City, Mo-, and many other
places are going right ahead in this
home ownership business.
Few movements Of greater possible
value ever went forward in the coun-
try. A city or community of any
kind with high percentage Of home
owners is bound to be made up of a
good class of citizens; families with
children; men and women Of settled
habits, and persons who, because Of a
proprietary interest, are likely to show
more than the usual concern with COM
munity affairs The home owner is

Steel Basement Windows
Practical and Artistic

The great superiority of high-grade
steel windows for basement use is well
recognized by all who have used them.
This refers to the solid steel window,
windows built of solid steel bars, not
to hollow metal windows.
Solid steel windows are artistic and
serviceable, permit of more light and
air, and are unaffected by climate.
They cannot swell or warp and re-
quire no reftting.
The steel window is now placed on
the market in standard Sizes which
permits of it's use for residential pur-
pose, and through this condition is
generally being used in the better
built homes for basement use, almost
to the exclusion of all other types.

Wooden Toy Industry
Eoon1s in United Stctes

The wooden toy industry is booming
in America, the World war having
given 1t big lift, because it tenn
porarily discouraged German manufac-
ture, formerly the chief source of sup
ply for the American market.
The tariff now in force sealed the
fate of German competition in wooden
toys in this country and since that
time several large centers Of toy man
ufacture have sprung up, Winchendon.
Mass, being the largest in the East,
says the New York Times. The only
wooden toys Of any prominence that
escaped the tariff embargo is the arti-
fetal Christmas tree, which has been
reclassified and transferred from the
wood product class to the feather
schedule, as a large portion of artifi-
cial Christmas trees are made OF
feathers.
Some German toys are on the mar
ket at high prices, according to the
New York State College of Forestry.
which says: "The mechanical toys
manufactured in Germany are superior
to the American product as general
rule. Many Of these are made OF
metal, such as battleships, locomotives.
trains. railroads. automobiles, fire en-
gines, mills, and pianos, although a
large portion Of the pianos are made OF
wood German dolls are in many cases
preferred to the American product
american manufacturers excel in
the construction of the larger toys,
such as sleds, skis, carts, snowshoes,
tOboggans, etc" says the college. "The
kind Of wood often depends on the by
product of the lumber manufacturers
near which the toy factories are usual
~ located For this reason, one man
ufacturer uses pine, another chestnut
and another various hardwOOds.
Toy factories are an excellent outlet
for the by-producSs Of many working
mills and go long way toward max
ing the operation of the lumber and
coarse products mills profitable Ow-
ing to the growing scarcity of wood
and the increase Of the cost of labor,
wooden toys have increased in price
In the last ten years about 100 per
cent. RefOrestation and scientific for
est management will tend to reduce
their cost.

Locate With Care

Location of the tree may determine
it's selection as well as soil and eli
mate. IF there is small space which
may be devoted to the future develop
ment of the tree says the American
Tree association of Washington, 1t
would not be satisfactory to plant one
which will attain huge proportions.
More than any other determining fea-
ture in tree selection is the purpose
which the tree is to serve. For a
2-cent stamp for postage the associ-
alton will send explaining sugges-
lions. The planter should study trees
growing in his immediate neighbor-
hood and pick out the variety which
will best serve his needs.

in summer and warm in winter.
The exterior is Of vari-colored
stucco, against which the brightly col
ored awnings stand out in bright con-

and the grass-defined flags of the walk

color touches.
The most striking feature of the in
terror is the living room, which has a
chapel ceiling, 16 feet high, which
makes the room most impressive. The
French windows open on the semi

America to the inclosed patio typical

The terrace off the dining room is
an attractice feature, while the kitch-
