Regular Monthly
Meeting of D. A. r.

One of the most enjoyable events
in the history Of Fort Halifax Chap
ter, D. A. R., of Winslow, was the
meeting held Monday at the Fort
Halifax Taxern on Lithgow street
which has recently been purchased
from the Eaton heirs and renovated
and made into a first-class tavern.
The occasion was the regular month";
lv meeting and was we'll attended.
The attendance was very good,
and at 1890 an informal reception
was held in honor of the honorary
guest, Mrs. Blaine S. Viles, State
regent of D. A. R. This reception,
though informal as it was, was very
pleasing indeed, and Mrs. Viles
heartily welcomed all the members
of the Fort Halifax Chapter. those
whose acquaintance she had pre-
viously made, and all the new ones.
Too much cannot be said OF the
splendid luncheon which was served
in the beautifully appointed dining
room to which the guests were IN
yited at l o'clock. The table, and in
fact the whole room, was bower OF
flowers, in blue and white, which are
the club colors. The centerpiece was
of blue and white flowers, being ar
ranged by Mrs. Carrie Howard who
showed the skill of an experienced
florist in this art. At either end OF
the long table which shone attrac-
tively with glasses and silver, were
two white vases, filled with blue and
white flowers, and 1t is impossible to
describe what a wonderful effect all
these floral decorations gave.
The place cards were japanese
and Chinese ladies with open UNI
brellas, contributed by Mrs. Eva
Dunbar, who collected them during
her stay in China, and they were
very attractive indeed. The deliciC-s
menu consisted of fruit cup. fried
chicken, mashed potato, hot rolls,
stringed beans, cucumbers, picked
beets, vegetable salad, coffee, Ice
cream, and most delicious cakes.
Following the luncheon which was
efficiently served under the dlrectlon
of Mrs. Emma Eldrldge, proprletresS
of the New Fort Halifax Tavern. the
ladies repaired to one of the spacious
drawing rooms where their business
meeting was held This room was
also attractive with beautiful sum-
mer flowers, there being bachelor
buttons, phlox, and white sweet peas
among Their, and there were also red
flowers to represent the good old
Red, White and Blue.
Mrs. Viles gave a most interesting
address to the gathering, telling the
club of new and effective ideas as to
what they should do during the COM
ing year in D. A. r. work. Her talk
was greatly enjoyed, and the entire
days program was one lone to be re-
membered by all who attended.

you because clothes come out unwrnkled. But

is no chance to hang out the clothes many women
spin the dryer little longer and start ironing
at once.

CONCERN FELT FOR
FUTURE or FRANCE
Writer Sees Possible Extinc-
ton of Race.

Harold G. Willard of New York dis
cusses in the Scientific Monthly the
question of the possible extinction Of
the French race. Mr.. Willard says that
although The French are not repro
ducing themselves. they have not as
yet begun to die out. In the last
three years, 1924, the excess of
births over deaths in France was 237,-
$685. or at the rate Of $4,000 per annum.
While no statistics are available on
the subject. some experts are of the
opinion that this excess of births Is
in large measure due to the pres
ence of several million foreign labor
ers on French soil whose home birth
rate Is higher than that Of the French
native stock. Should conditions re-
main the same as now, however. the
scale will before long be tipped the
other way. For during the war years
the French birth rate fell off more than
so per cent, which means a correspond
ing drop between 1935-4O in the num-
Der of young men and women able to
marry. During these years or shortly
thereafter, the French marriage rate
will be halved, with the Inevitable
consequence Of like propor$lonate de-
crease in the birth rate. Thus, the
slight annual gain that is now taking
place in the French population will be
more than wiped out decade hence
Then the twilight of the French. race
Will truly set In. The French
seem to have it In their power to de-
eide whether they will increase in
time in the same proportion as other
European. peoples or become eth
nically extinct. They must improve
living conditions at home or their
ranks will continue to be thinned by
disease as now and they will slowly
but surely shrink in number. If they
resolve to remain the worlds foremost
military power and to carry the bur-
den Of a great colonial empire with
all the attendant sacrifices, they Grip
pie themselves from introducing the
housing and sanitary reforms essential
to their survival as great race. They
are therefore confronted with fate
full decision.
Whatever their choice, II Is imprOb-
able that France will become depopu-
lated hereafter Only half as densely
peOpied as Germany or Italy, she has
had to call in thousands Of alien labor
ers to till her soil and to help de-
velop her Industries. In 1924 only
slightly more than 5000 foreigners be-
came naturalized French citizens. The
real peril confronting France is not de-
population but standardization. Be
fore many decades these alien workers
and their descendants may Outnumber
those of true French extraction.

Nothing is more effective In making
or spelling a house than the entrance.
A good entrance, suited to the par
ticular house. will go far to overcome
what might otherwise be a too plain
and unattractive exterior. A poor en-
trance may completely spoil the eff
feet Of house which is in every other
way attractive. For this reason 1t is
well worth while to expend much
thought in planning an entrance which
will be most effective for the home
which one is building.
Conspicuous examples Of effective
entrances are found in the colonial
homes Of the early years of our coHn-
try and these are being much copied
or used for inspiration In the design
Of presen.-day residences. Many man.
ufacturers of millwork are turning
out very high-class designs which,
when properly chosen, can be used on
the present-day home to good purpose.
In the house shown here the en-
trance is a distinct asset. The ex-
terror as whole is plain, though not
too plain, and it is the effective en-
trance which gives 1t its greatest
charm. This is well set off by the
walls Of wide shingles, the plain brick
chimney and the good proportions Of
the building as whole.
This entrance admits us to an int
rior which is typical Of the modern
colonial home. There is central re-
ception and stair hall with a passage
leading back to a rear hall which
gives access to the basement stairs,
the kitchen, a first-foor lavatOry and
the rear entrance.
From the reception hall, doors at
and dining room. The former is large,
Is feet by 231a feet. and occupies the
entire end of the house. 1t is lighted
by windows in three walls and at the
side is the broad fireplace which is in
dictated by the chimney on the outside.
The dining room Is of moderate size,
but ample for such a family as would
occupy the house. on of 1t there is q
Breakfast room built after the manner

Of sun parlOr, glazed almost com.
pletely on three sides. This room also
has door leading into the kitchen.
In one corner of the kitchen is a pam
try with much cupboard and shelf
space for taking care Of food supplies.
Above the stairs the arrangement is
very similar to the first, floor. The
stairs lead into a central hallway with
a bathroom occupying the forward
end. In the four corners there are
four rooms. Three Of these are speci-
fed as bedrooms while the fourth is
intended to serve as sewing room.
This could be well used as fourth
bedroom If so desired.
The second floor Is unusually con-
venient. There is linen closet in the
hall, large closet in each of the
rooms, a clothes chute which also has
an opening on the first floor and, in ad-
dition to the bathroom, two extra
lavatories. One Of these Is on Of the
room designated as a sewing room
while the other is at the entrance Of
one Of the bedrooms 1t can be reached
without passing through the bedroom
and so is available to the occupants
Of all the rooms.
This feature Of extra lavatories Is q
most convenient one and one which Is
receiving more and more attention as
more thought Is given to making mod
ern homes as livable and comfortable
as possible.
