Today a woman's art finds express

of her home, an art that Is practical

The evolution has been gradual.
First 1t was interior decorating that
occupied their attention. The heavy
furniture of the stiff and uninviting
parlor of few years ago has given
way to greater freedom that permits
comfort and enjoyment in the home.
Having realized how delightful a
home can be made by occasional re-
arrangement of furniture and new
decorative color schemes, women have
now turned their attention to the most
conspicuous part Of their home-the
exterior.
And what wonderful revolution
has taken place. Beautiful and at

conventionalism. The decorating and
furnishing is tasteful and simple and

Economical Hog House Provides
Ample Ventilation and Sunlight
BY w. A. RADFoRD

Mr.. William A. Radford win answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject of building work the farm,
for the readers of this paper. On ac-
count of his wide experience as editor,
author and manufacturer, he is, with
out doubt, the highest authority on the
subject Address all inquiries to Will
liam A. Radford, No, 1927 Prairie ave-
nue., Chicago, ILL.,, and only inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
Proper housing Is always an impor-
tant factor in the successful raising
of hogs. Too often it is neglected,
however, when little expense and eff
fort would be required to provide a
good, serviceable, well-ventilated
house, affording ample protection
against cold and admitting much
needed sunshine. One of the chief
criticisms which may be made of the
average hog house is that it Is poorly
lighted and poorly ventilated, If, in
fact, any provision at all is made for
ventilation.
A good but economical narrowing
house which meets every requirement
is shown in the photograph and plan
Probably not all farmers who make
business of hog raising would have
% bred sows ready to farrow at once,
but for those who are in business ex-
tensively here Is plan which can be
adopted without great expense. For
the smaller herd the plan can be re-
duced proportionately
This Is the saw-tooth roof type of
hog house, facing south, which gives
every opportunity for the late winter
sun to get at all the pens through the
two sets of windows. The need of
ample sunlight is of equal Importance
with the need Of good ventilation.
The house is of frame construction
with a concrete floor and concrete
troughs. On each side of the feeding
alley, which runs through the center,
there are 10 pens. These are, of
course, plank fioored. Outside, at the

Floor Colors Should
Blend With the Finish

Floors should be as mellow and in
conspicuous in color as possible, but
always in a color that harmonizes
with the general finish of the room.
The finish of permanent flooring is
highly important to the general APP
pearance of the room, and the pos
sible combinations OF soft and hard
woods, linoleum and composition floor
ings are of interest to anyone who is
planning home.
IL general, hardwood floors are bet
ter and more durable, particularly if
the floor Is not TO be entirely covered
If the floor is to be covered with car
pet, soft wood is desirable; 1t is also
used in country houses and success
fully finished with paint or stain. The
hardwoods include oak, maple, birch
and beech. White pine, fir and red
spruce come under the head of soft
woods.
1t linoleum floor covering is de-
I sired, it should be laid at the time the
house is built. Many housekeepers
prefer tile and composition floors for
the bathroom, kitchen and service
quarters, as they are waterproof and
can be cleaned with soap and water
as often as necessary.
If hardwood floors are used, they
can be finished with wax, or vanished
and then waxed, and polished at regu-
lar intervals with dry mop. Floors
of soft woods should be oiled at in
tervals. Linoleum floors should be
waxed.
Rugs should be in keeping with the
type Of room, and should in nearly
all cases be darker than the walls
Large rug designs are not desirable
the small all-over patterns are attrac
tive In rooms with plain walls. If the
| walls are figured, plain rugs are in
better taste. Plain rugs and carpets
show dust more readily than those
with all-over figures.

Midseason Modes
Demand Attention
Pastel Hues, Much White
Favored for Resort Frocks
and Ensembles.

Interest just now centers in the mid
season fashions presented for resort
wear Among those contributing fasci-
mating models are many well known
designers, who employ the brilliant
hues of scarlet combined with white,
or the softer pastel shades in self-tone,
according to mood and mode. But,
observes a fashion writer in the De-
troit News, each has an individual
touch that marks the creator and the
vintage. One thing can be said, how
ever, in general way, and this is that
lines are little changed, and the slim
figure continues popular. Fullness is
given to all models not by the cut of
the frock, but by the employment of
inserts, usually of plaits contrived
In most original ways.
From special shops of French de-
signers comes group from Premet,
who has this year slightly lowered the
waistline and Strengthened the line
of the models presented for the mid
season.
Jersey for Sports Wear.
For sports wear is shown an entire
series of wooden jersey frocks having
straight bodices and skirts deliberately
plisse over them are worn sleeveless
velvet coates of the same color, but
different in shade. Such coates prom
Use to be very fashionable in the spring
and summer; they are quite plain and
their only trimming is the buttons, by
which they fasten. However, almost
as fashionable as these will be jackets.
One Of these Premet presents is worn
over a natural kasha frock having
straight bodice and plisse skirt.
There are still a certain number of
jumper suits in the collection, which
are, for the most part, trimmed with
insertions and geometrical incrusta-
lions formed by bands of the same
fabric placed in the contrary way. In
such cases the skirts have the fullness
either placed In the front where it Is
obtained by plaits or else on one side
where it is formed by gathers or plisse.
More habille frocks sometimes retain
the blousing bodice at the back, but
they are generally straight in the front
and given tailored aspect by gllet,
narrow belts and plaits. An excellent
dress of this kind called "Tracassin"
Is executed in thin fancy silk rep !;
1t blouses at the back and is widened
in the front by groups Of plaits; its
gilet in matching crepe is fastened by
black pearl stud.
Types of Ensembles.
The ensemble is well illustrated by
two models: one of these - more
sports-like in aspect - consists of a
natural kasha frock trimmed with a
wide belt and worn under a loose
matching coat trimmed with narrow
border. The smarter ensemble con-
sisted of dress in red flamingo, with
straight lines trimmed with "plis reli-
gieuse" made, to give it bolero as
pect. The straight matching wooden
coat is trimmed with rows of silk
| stitching disposed in the same manner
as the tucks on the dress it Is lined
with black crepe, color with which
| It will be smart to line beige and

For the afternoon are large num-
| Der of dresses in black crepe de chine
An outstanding one of these has a
flat fiounce skirt (such skirts giving
tunic effect are quite feature)

Good Ventilation Is
Essential in Home

ventilating units are just as es-
sential in the home as in factories,
laundries, theaters, etc. The unit has a
powerful and positive suction, and
when placed in TIE attic or upstairs
window of dwelling, 1t creates a
noticeable movement of air through
out the entire house. BY running the
ventilator fifteen or twenty minutes
before retiring the hor~ can be en-
tirely cooled on the warinest night.

with gold jewels, which match the
earrings and bracelets worn with 1t.
The bodice-and this, too. Is charac-
teristic of the collection-is trimmed
with a jabot or facing at the side.
Skirts have draperies repeating this
movement and placed either on the
same side or on the opposite one.
They are also often made of two fiat
