into widespread discussion over
Governor Smiths sharp challenge

If any, the Republican spokesman

MISTAKEN BRICK COST
CHECKS HOME BUILDERS
False View on Expense of Con-
struction Causes Many to
Turn to Lumber.

In the past many people who would
have preferred to build their homes of
brick have not done so because of a
mistaken idea that such homes cost
much more than is really the case
The truth is, brick house is eco
nomical. and costs no more than a
house of less permanent construction
if the upkeep costs for a few years
are figured in.
The amount of the first down pay
ment on any kind of house is general
ly the amount the purchaser can con-
veniently pay. After that the balance
is paid off gradually. The owner of a
brick house soon begins to appreciate
that his house is saving him money
by holding upkeep costs to the mini.
mum. 1t requires no repairing of the
outside walls, it enjoys a low insur-
ancc rate and it saves fuel.
When the bank writes paid in
full" across the mortgage and the
owner figures out how much money
he has put into the house he finds
that his brick house has cost him no
more than his neighbors have paid
for other kinds of houses of similar
size. He also finds that he is the

owner of a property that win have a
high market value for many years.
because a brick house 25 or 80 years
old looks and is as good as new
Take pencil and paper and work
out the sum you are paying i'm rent.
You will be surprised at the size OF
this figure at the end of 10 wears.
The sum would go far toward pay
ing for a home of your own. IT is
possible for practically every family
in this country to own it's own home.
and in many respects a brick house
is the cheapest kind of house to buy.

Wrap-Around Coat for Summer
BY MARY MARSHALL.

But most women seem to prefer the
coat with a surplice closing that may
be draped across the body. They un
doubtetily contribute to the effect of
slenderness, which is still one of the
objectives OF fashion.
It Is worth noting, however. that
sport coats. motor coats and steamer
coats usually have a more convenient
closing. IT Is absurd TO try to drive
4 car with coat that must he held
together to keep II from falling open
1t the front. When YOU walk around
tho deck Of the ocean liner or tramp
through the country you want coat
that leaves your arms and hands free.
The wrap-around coat would then be
as inappropriate as the huddled gait
that such n coat seems 20 demand.
The cost OF artificial flowers TO wear
IN wraps. suits and frocks is one that
must be reckoned with In the well
dressed woman's dress budget. To lie
sure. there are some lovely httle
boutonniere that may be had for
an amusingly low price. A little
bunch of violetS to be worn as the
boutonniere of n two-piece suit may
cost only 10 cents--and still pass
muster. One very well dressed woman
boasts of the fact that she has quite
collection of these little 10.cent
posies, which she wears with perfect
satisfaction. But for the evening
frock or elaborate afternoon frock
these floral decorations come high.
You must not be amazed to see 80
or $40 or SIS marked on the price tag
Of a dropping rose or chrysa
that takes your eye at the artificial
flower counter.
