What is wrong with this picture?

WHdC is wrong Win CnlS picture
1t is the world from the eyes of the savings bank
president the insurance salesman, the real estate
broker-the world of the coupon clipper Maintain
your gaze only on the stock of consumable goods
and you do not need to inquire as to fundamentals
of our economic processes. You may with Wells be
contented to anticipate future in which we shall
all be Capitalists processing to be labor com
munlty. View only the rising tide of goods and
savings and you do not need even to inquire as to
who exactly these goods and accumuates
these savings For you it will be sufficient evidence
of the coming millennium if some 8 per cent of the
stock ownership of the country is in the hands of
the workers, if about three-quarters of one billion
is represented workers Savings in a country
whose estimated wealth is some four hundred bill
lions. Separated from the field of production in
which almost the whole of modern conflicts arise
it becomes natural for the coupon clipper to view
temporary and insignificant phenomena such as the
rise in labor banking in the light of fundamental
process.
When we turn to the field of production for the
facts of inquiry, the analysis of the Carvers
the Wellses, the Wolls assumes its proper proper
ton the analysis of absentee" minds Is there
a capitalist system? Yes it is the system of re-
lationships in which commodity production, mono

plays ever-increasing role; it is the system in
which the machine is playing and more i'm
portant part in that production and in which the
ownership of the machine is providing it's owner
the capitalist, ever-increasing power and control
over the workers; it is the system in which the
wage relationship between two groups in society is
throwing these groups in the United States in
an ever increasing opposition to each other and in
which millions of farmers and middle are year
ly being added to the charging masses of the dis

Are there evidences of these assertions or are

 Baxter's rapidly developing in terest in Lois Wilson causes hiin to remain at his post instead of resigning. When he rescues her from the incoming tide, she be- gins to feel deeper interest in him. He feels he cannot yet pro pose to her because, due to his lack of knowledge of women, he has permitted an ambitious girl in the neighboring village to make him think he has proposed to her She wants him to make Beery's work so hard for him he'll be fired for incompetence.

 As postcard pictures advertise a city as much as other informative ma terial it is worth while to see that the cards do justice to the city's past as well as present.

regular. balanced style of house, with

homes in this style, though the turni,
ture of these two periods Is useu

grounds. However, hand-bloCked IN

and striped silks can be used Tor over
curtains, while fairly coarse nets anu

damasks, toiles de jOies and otnef
materials of that type are sultapie
for over-curtains, while fine mar
quisettes and delicate plain ana ilg-
ured laces should be used at the
windows. In such houses, as we
have said before, it is almost lnVarl-
ably the practice to carry the ara
peries straight to the floor, catching
them back gracefully at each side.
Symmetry Is Feature.
The Georgian house, which has
been and still is the model for the
majority of our houses, whether OF
frame, brick or stone. is, as we nave
pointed out above, house of regular
design and well balanced rooms.
Usually there is central hall run
ming through the house. Symmetry is
the principal feature; you notice that
the doors and windows balance each
other. The architectural details show
the classic infiuence-entrance ways
and fireplaces are fianked by pillars
or pilasters supporting an archl-
trave above. Every one can recoS-
nize the colonial features of a house
and the colonial is only our native
version of the Georgian style. or
course, the American colonial period
starts with the early settlements at
jamestown and Plymouth and con-
tinues on up until the Revolution,
after which it develops into the
Early American Republic" style
and is very good up until about lS4o;
But when we speak of the colonlai
style we usually mean that OF about
1860. On the continent it's prototype
was more grandiose and formal, but
still the essential lines were the
same.
In the simple cottage type of Colo
NAL house the net curtains may De

either ruff1ed and looped back at the
sides or perfectly plain, and the over
curtains. chintz, printed linens, plain
or striped silk, made as plain curtains,
hanging five or six inches below the
window sill, makes a very satisfactory
effect. For the more formal house,
gauzes, fine marquisettes and delicate
nets should be hung against the glass
in full folds. The over-curtalns may
be of silks, self-toned damask or deli
cate printed linens. These may be
hung from the outside or inside of
the trim, as preferred, and continue
down to the floor. They are caught
back gracefully to each side part of
the way down. We might add In
closing that for apartments which
have no particular architectural style
Colonial furniture and draperies give
the most pleasing and homelike effect.

also for more desirable to have such
curtains arraigned on rod SO that
they can be drawn together when
needed than to use any variety of net
curtains. These draw curtains can be
finished with French pleats at the
top and are to hang to a few inches
below the window sill. In the larger
homes crewel work, blocked
linens and Italian damasks should
hang straight from the top of the
trim to the floor. A simple valance of
plain material or a valance board can
be used If desired. In case some sort
of glass curtains are necessary light
easement cloth or coarse nets are
appropriate. Where the easement
windows open inward, net curtains
have to be stretched on rods attach
cd to the top and bottom of the win
dow sash, but where they open out 1t
is better to let the curtains hang
freely from a rod attached to the
trim or window frame.
Coarse Nets Appropriate.
The William and Mary and Queen
Anne periods really mark the begin

composed of small pieces of round
glass set in lead. If these are repro
duced in modern house, all kinds
of net curtains must be avoided.
Overdraperies only should be used.
However. for the usual long window
or French door found in this type of
house, IA heavy, square meshed lace
in light tints or silk gauZe in glow
ing colors should be used These
may hang free or be stretched tight,
just as is necessitated by the type of
window or door. AS to the over
draperieS, remember that wherever
possible II makes a much more charm

draw together and to have no glass
curtains at all. The material of these
overcurtains san be, in the simpler
houses. heavy silk or linen, and in
the more elaborate homes, velvets,
brocades and damasks, in bright
colors, especially in crimsons, Colds,
and blues, are the correct thing.
These brocades should hang straight
