That once-popular bit Of slang,
"Nobody's home blut the doorknob,"
meant more than it seemed to mean.
for the doorknob of a home is very
much of an indication of the home.
There are cheap doorknobs and
substantial doorknobs, and a poor
one creates a very unfavorable first
impression upon the caller. For this
reason home-buyers do we'll to in

ESSENTIAL PART OF
NEW LIVING ROOMS
Can Be Made Appropriate
for Rustic Bungalows,
Georgian Homes, Colonial
Cottages or Any Other
Type of House.
RY Molly Elliott
BY Molly Elliott

4 While novelists and sociolo-
gists are wondering how to
bring the family back to the
home" architects and builders
are making the home more
worth coming back to by in
cooperating as an essential part
of almost every living room to-
day fireplace Of one kind or
another.
Not a gas CRATE or a wall
ornament IN which red-hot asbestos
flows, but real fireplace, where
burning logs radiate hospitality and
cheer is the present style. And in
keeping with this return to the
original fuel for the fireplace, there
has been a return to simpler de-
signs and more harmonious con-
struction. A fireplace is no longer
an affair Of gingerbread carvings,
sscroll-edged mirrors and shelves for
Fsnick-knacks. It Is a central fea-
ture and a keynote for the entire
room, harmonizing with it in both
color and design.
Low and Wide
For example, in one lovely home
in which the architect has placed I'M
usual emphasis upon horizontal
lines, the fireplace Is unusually low
and wide. 1t is constructed of
deep crean-toned terra-cotta, inset
with design in colored tile, and
above the CRATE opening Is con-
ventionalized sun-motif from which
the rays spread in strong horizontal
lines.
Z Contrasting with this, there is
! a magnificent fireplace, in an
other home in which the feeling is
for vertical lines rather than
(. horizontal FIere an artist has
designed fireplace of terra-cotta
extending from the floor to the
ceiling.
Figures With Torches
AT each side Of the crate open
ing modelled in low relief are
( graceful male figures, poised as
if spring1ng into the air, and each
figure holds an uplfted torch.
The room Of which this fireplace
is the center is, Of course, similar
in its lines and coloings-no
other fireplace would have fitted
into it so perfectly, and no other
room could have formed so suit
; able background for such fire
S place.
These two, however, are some
< what out Of the ordinary, but there
are fireplaces equally appropriate
for rustic bungalows, Georgian
homes, Tudor living rooms, Colon
\ ial cottages and Just houses" The
home-builder will do we'll to con-
slider all of them to determine
which is best suited for his partic-
lllar home.

TUSCKI NSKY TO
LEARN MORE OF
ART In EUROPE
Manager of HillsdaIe Land
scape Company Goes
Abroad.

For the same reason that Ameri-
can artists go abroad to perfect their
work, Alex Tuschinsky has gone to
England and Italy to learn about the
newest and loveliest things in his
art-that of creating beautiful living
landscapes with trees and shrubs.
Tuschinsky, general manager Of
the Hillsdale Landscape and Nursery
Company, is more than a nursery
man; he is a landscape architect who
has developed some Of the finest
estates in and around Indianapolis.
At Laurel Hall
The magnificent ground of Laurel
Hall on the Millersville Rd., are in
themselves, enough to make him
known throughout the country, and
this IS only one Of many beautiful
estates he has Handicapped.
In the nurseries a mile south OF
Castleton and an eight-mile drive
from Indianapolis on the Allison
vile Rd., Tuschinsky has arranged a
formal rose garden to show custom
ers how such a garden should be
planted. and from the thousands of
shrubs Of various kinds that grow
in the nursery one may select shrub
berry to suit any taste.
"Post-Grad'' Course
Upon his return from abroad, the
landscape architect will be glad to
give Indianapolis home-owners the
benefit of his postgraduate" course
in garden-planning.
In the meanwhile, however, the
nursery is in the hands Of a very
capable assistant, who may be
reached by calling Washington 4729,
ring /. should one need to plant
new shrubs or replace old ones.

a location less than three miles
south of the heart of the city, yet

that one associates only with the
suburbs, is one OF the excellent

Ernest A. Gray, manager of the Cap
ital City Corporation of this city. has
invented and recently had patented a
very serviceable and stylish leg cover
ing which is form fitted and promises
to outclass anything now on the mar
ket in the way of both comfort and
style. Mr. Gray has fittingly named
his invention The Legette.
About three months ago Mr. Gray.
while riding on ttolley car, noticed
young miss, who, though attractively
dressed for chilly weather, was SEEM
ingly insufficiently clad as to leg APP
parel. The thought came to him that
someone might invent an attractive
and dressy leg covering which would
take the place of the clumsy and unat-
tractive overshoe, which is so objec-
tionable to the well-dessed woman.
He could not seem to get away from
the thought and after turning the idea
over in his mind for some time, he at
last reached the conclusion that he
might invent an article himself which
would serve such a purpose. After
consulting with several reputable de-
signers, he has at last produced an
article which he has worked on and
perfected until the product shown here
is the result.
The Legette, as Mr.. Gray has styled
his invention, is very attractive and
dressy, having an elastic front lacing,
the front buckle-like ornament but
toning at the side in very clever
manner. This Legette can be worn
with rubbers. but is more especially
designed as a leg covering for street
wear and riding. 1t is of leather, felt
lined and will be made in the popular
spring shades to match the coats. 1t
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-12-31

will also be made in brocaded mate
rails for evening wear and will be
most effective, in shades to bled with
the gowns and wraps.
The first completed pair was made
for Mr.. Gray's daughter. Miss Doro-
thy, who is an accomplished and pop
ular dancing instructress of this city.
and was first seen on the streets here
Tuesday. being worn by Miss Gray,
who left that day for Boston and New
York.
Mr.. Gray will exhibit samples of
1.-THE Legette" at the Chicago Style
Show to be held in Chicago next week
and later they will be shown at the
Style Show in Boston.
From comments heard II appears
Mr.. Gray may feel we'll assured of the
success of 1.-The Legette" as it is a
very classy and serviceable addition
to womens wearing apparel and those
who have seen 1t all say it is sure to
become much more popular than the
Russian boot which is meeting with
much favor in many places, as its
lines are much more pleasing and at
tractive for both street and indoor
wear.
The manufacture of this leg cover
ing will be speciality at the Capital
City Corporation plant in addition to
the regular shoe work.
Designs have already been made In
mems styles. these being much shorter
but none the less suitable and attrac-
tive. THE Legette will also be made
in children's sizes.

him why he did not get married to
some good girl. The reply was char
acteristic. II don't care to marry a
poor girl because she doesn't know the
value of money. and 1 don't care to
marry rich girl because she is too
accustomed to having her own way"
With such views on the subject Of
matrimony it is no wonder he never
married.
In some ways Frank A. Munsey was
very great man, and in some ways
he achieved very great success. There
was, however, an isolation about his
life. He was an individualist, asking
no quarter and granting none. He had
constructive imagination. and his fer
tile mind teemed with schemes and
plans. He had the strongest will of
any man I ever knew, or at least his
will was more in evidence. He' had
supreme faith in himself. He was
aggressive and courageous. He always
Kept his word. And yet I think he
was supremely selfish. Sentiment had
no place in his system. He would scrap
an employee with as little compunc-
ton as he would scrap piece Of out
worn machinery. Men admired and
feared him, but they did not love him.
He admitted himself that he could not
make friends

the idea was a sound one was soon
demonstrated.
Meanwhile I had left Augusta and
the newspaper business, and had en-
tered the ministry. Munsey and l
correspondent for several years and
then the letters stopped. We lost
touch with each other. In 1894 was
trying to build church, and wrote to
everybody 1 knew to help in the good
work. Among others wrote to Mum
sey. l did not get contribution from
him. but one day I was surprised to
receive telegram asking me to come
to New York at his expense. I has
tened to do so. found that Munsey
had been so impressed with my ability
as beggar that he wanted me to go
to Chicago to take charge of the mid
die West advertising for the Argosy.
He offered me much larger salary
than I was receiving. But 1 declined
| was interested in my work. and
had a suspicion that Munsey as an
employer would be much different
man from Munsey as a friend.
The Minister'S Experience
Munsey at the time was domiciled
at the Union League Club on Fifth
avenue, and he procured for me a card
Ewing me the run of the building. 1t
was strange experience for a small
town clergyman. / felt out of place
among the politicians and millionaires
and thought the doorman eyed my
Prince Albert coat suspiciously.
Munsey was very friendly and COM
municative. and told me much of his
plans and his history. I guess he was
glad to have some one to talk with
freely. for he always was supremely
interested in himself. He told me that
what he had already done was as moth
ing compared with what he planned to
do. He had a theory that the modern
newspaper was too cumbrous and that
1t took too long to read 1t, and that
business men would welcome a con-
densation of the worlds news-a tab
loid sheet. He hoped to publish such
paper at various centres-Boston,
New York. Chicago. San Francisco and
London. He was much interested in
politics and hoped to see Tom Reed
nominated for President, although he
conceded that Mckinley had the pole.
Reed is a Sandow compared with Nc
Kinley," he remarked.
While talking with him brought
up the subject of marriage, and asked

Of st. Johnsbury where he had re-
Gently been. 1t was said of him:
THE music halls of the world
might be searched and no greater
merit be found, Caruso's voice was
perfect, Martinellis cannot be me-
neglected, but we have no apology to
make for Cappelli. He promises al
most surely to be the successor OF
the first and the substitute for the
second. Again, NO better voice has
ever been heard in the halls Of st.
Johnsbury than that gifted faculty
which Signor Cappelli gave us SO
generously on the occasion Of his
visit, etc" t
Music lovers will also be pleased to
learn that the great tenor will be
accompanied on the piano by one of
the most gifted of Augustus local
pianists, Willard B. Purinton. It Is
safe to suggest that seats on Thurs
day evening next will be at a prem

cappeIIi Concert For Next Week

Few distinguished musicians visit
ing Augusta have ever received a
more enthusiastic reception than that
given Signor Cappelli who sang in
the Green Street Methodist church
recently. 1t is said that never has a
larger audience gathered than that
which heard him with so much plea
sure on that occasion. Every avail
able seat was taken and score
stood during the entire service, while
numbers failed of admittance.
1t Is therefore with extreme plea
sure that Augusta learns that the
Cromwell Bible Glass of Green Street
church has secured Signor Cappelli
for great musical feast next week,
and it is certain that again he will
be greeted by crowded house. Mr..
Garland, the pastor of Green street,
in conversation in reference to the
event declared that no singer of re-
cent times has so commanded the
expectation of his audience as had
Cappelli, and quoted from the press
