A Very Popular
California Bungalow

This California bungalow, with its wide per-
COLA porch, is exceedingly popular. The warm
and CHEEKY appearance is enhanced by the
brick piers which seem to lend an atmosphere
of stability. Again our designer has succeeded
in the arrangement Of rooms that permits one
to have access to all the rooms and bath from
the hall. The living and dining rooms both
being on the front afford the housewife an
opportunity to arrange her draperies and fur
niture to the best advantage. Worthy Of note
are the large, light bedrooms, ample closet
space, small hall and the possibility Of two
pleasant rooms upstairs, no small point in It's
favor. This Home OF individuality" will be a
compliment to any district Of homes.
This plan was submitted by Gardner J.
Gwinn, Hoge Bldg, Seattle.

FRENCH DEBIT HUGE
From 3A Billion Francs In 1914 1t Has
 Grown To 33O Billion

Even before the war the French gov-' ernment was not paying its way. Every year saw considerable deficits in the budget, which were covered by floating bonds that were readily absorbed by the French investing public, which has a strong liking for safe securities, writes Lathrop Stoddard in the Satur- day Evening Post.
 The French have always hated high taxation, particularly direct taxes-be- fore the war France had no income tax and the government naturally took the easier way of issuing bonds rather than rousing unpopularity by imposing new taxes. This was all very well for a while, but it could not go on forever. At the beginning of 1914 the French national debt was S4 billion francs, the largest per capita debt in Europe, which swallowed almost three-fourths of the annual revenue to pay interest charges.
 Then came the war, and Frances financial condition, which had been all ready dubious, became infinitely worse. In contrast to Britain, which promptly imposed tremendous taxes and partly paid for the war as she went along, France financed herself almost entirely by new loans coupled with a partial imitation of her currency. The propor- tion of war expenses paid out of cur rent revenue was infinitesimal-les than one-tenth of per cent.
 The result was that at the end of the war France's national debt had grown to 147 billion francs. Still France made no real effort to balance her budget by drastic taxation on the English scale, and her debt grew even faster than during the war. Today Frances na- tional debt stands at about 330 billion francs-praetically ten times her debt in 1914, while her currency has been inflated to nearly seven times the amount in circulation in 1914.
 No wonder that the franc has fallen! To be sure, this fall of the franc has so alarmed the French people that it is getting ready to stand really drastic taxation. Nevertheless, even the new taxation program which has been pro- posed will cover only little more than half of Frances annual expenditures i; 50 the national debt will continue to mount and the financial situation will get still worse.

T'oday's Short Story

in the way of position. Maida she thought best suited to him, for Maida had learned so much from Mrs. Dentor that would aid her to achieve social triumphs, but of course, he might pre- fer Edna with her dignity and ability, or Hazel with her artistic charm. She was sure as could be that he would at no far distant day settle upon one of the three girls.
 Months passed. Dr. Gordon con- tinued to come to the Boyd house when he was asked and sometimes when he was not. To Ellen. his manner seemed beautifully impartial. She could not for the life of her tell which girl he was making up his mind to take. The few times that she had spoken with him she found him entertaining and sympathetic. Of course he was courte- ous to her as one of the household, but she expected nothing more.
 Yet Ellen found herself one day fall ing in love with this wonderful fine man. She had cared for Charlie, she had tried to persuade herself that she loved him, but she knew for the first time what real love was. She was fool, she knew it. She put the check  rein on her feelings and merely grew cold and severe.
 The situation was growing intoller- able for her when release came. Old Mrs. Higgins was going to California for the winter and she needed com panion. She wanted Ellen. Mrs. Boyd said she could not spare Ellen, but FL len felt that here was chance to be independent as we'll as useful. Old Mrs. Higgins would be difficult to live with, but anything was better tan what she was undergoing. Besides, she would not have to see Dr. Gordon un- til he was married to one of her sis ters.
 The Boyds were pleased to be of- fended, but Ellen went away never theless.. She did not see Dr. Gordon to say goodby to him, but that was just as we'll.

Trend Of Fashion
By HELEN MERRILL EMERY

MTOW that coats have been removed IW one gains a rather definite idea
 of the type of frock chosen by the well dressed woman for street wear. The first models usually aresof scloth-4a fine twill, charmeen or rep in black or dark blue with touches of color cunningly introduced.
 Several of the most interesting gowns of black have been trimmed with wide bands of green, the contrast made eveR more effective by the addition of mar rover bands of white. It requires q great deal of subtlety and knowledge of color to use three different shades to their best advantage, but the result has decided chic.
 Scaffs are so much part of the present day costume that a coat or frock seems incomplete without one. A most attractive and charming coat dress of black satin boasts q scarf of p1eated white georgette that goes under the collar and falls almost to the waist line. To carry out the scheme of black and white the reveres are faced with white georgette and the collar has an inner facing of ermine.
 Also of black crepe satin is the frock illustrated which relies somewhat for distinction upon the effective use of pleated jabots. The embroidery thar forms decorative bands is done in heavy black silk. A vestee of white crepe has q design printed in black and this siik forms ,jabot extending almost to the bottom of the skirt. Pleated satin finishes the collar and appears as ornan,entation on the sleeves.

times Mrs. Boyd wrote, but her letters contained no news of an engagement.
 1t was June before Ellen returned, for Mrs. Higgins had stayed to warm her old bones in the joyous sunshine. That winter had done much for Ellen. She had met interesting people, she had read innumerable books to her old lady, and she had money of her own to spend. She had a fe wnew clothes modish and becoming, which gave her figure almost the same good lines that characterized her sisters.s
 The first evening she returned to her own home she found the girls away at the country club and Mrs. Boyd was alone. They were sitting together when the doorbell rang. Ellen looked up in suprrise as her, mother brought in Dr. Gordon. f4
 They chattered together for a few moments and then Mrs. Boyd was called to the telephone in another room. She had to go and leave Dr. Gordon and Ellen together.
 T have been waiting for you to come bac't" Dr. Gordon said
 "Waiting-for me Ellens gray eyes were full.of astonishmeht. But as sheTlooked at him she read what every woman reads at least once in her lifetime in the face of some adoring man.
 Mrs. Boyd was out of the room five minutes. She could not get away from the telephone sooner. but when she en- tered the room she knew that she was too late. Dr. Gordon had Ellen's hand in his and Ellen had upon her face an expression of dazed happiness that made her almost beautiful.
 In few weeks Dr. Gordon told Mrs. Boyd that Ellen was going to marry him. Mrs. Boyd was no fool. She dare not break with the future Mrs. Gordon, besides it was something to have him marry daughter of hers even though that daughter was the lit tle-thought-of Ellen.

One Mother. Says:
 My children consider it one of their greatest larks to take blindfolded walks, especially just at dusk. I am the leader and we go twisting and turning about the yard and sometimes about the block. Finally, reaching what is the destination, in my judgment, I twirl them about three times and call out, "One--two-three-guess !" The wilder their guess proves, the more fun they think it is, and laugh in glee at the mystery of it all.
