September
Rentals Big
Visitors Declare the Month
To Be One of the Most
Delightful

Real estate men in the Atlantic
City district say that rentals of
cottages have been unusually large
the past week and in some places
practically every cottage is leased.
There is also large demand for
September rentals at fair prices.
September is looked on as one of
the most delightful months at the
shore. The ocean is warmer than
in July and there is lack of the
glare of the sun that is so pronoun-
ced in midsummer.
There was a time when it was
easy to rent a cottage in Septem-
Der for a very modest sum. When
the summer cottager left for his
city home, the day after Labor Day
he was willing to rent his property
for very little, but things have
changed. There is a big demand
for the month of September and be-
sides the summer cottager leaves
the shore later now than formerly.
Still the September rentals are
sometimes lower than asked in the
midsummer months.

Brooks On
European Tour
West Atlantic City Architect
Will Study IDEAS In
Foreign Cities
TO MEET DEMAND HERE

A. l.. Brooks, architect for Benja-
min R. Fox, builder of West Allan
tic City, viii sail from New York
September 9 On the LaSavoi for a
visit to Europe.
From Paris Mr.. Brooks plans to
go to Berlin. Rome, Venice and Ma
pies. He will also visit London.
During his visit abroad Mr..
Brooks will study examples of ar
chitecture which may be adopted
in West Atlantic City.
Mr.. Brooks finds in connection
with his work for the Benjamin R.
Fox developments that there is a
strong demand for homes of the
better type and that foreign infiu-
ences are today much in vogue in
home construction. To this foreign
touch in architecture is added the
unsurpassed American appoint
ments and Injuries in heating,
lighting and ventilation, cooking,
bathrooms and decorations, which
Mr.. Fox is embodying in his West
Atlantic City Homes.
Mr.. Brooks is encouraged to be-
lieve that he will be able to bring
back from Europe impressions of
even some of the great houses that
may be formed into smaller model
houses for West Atlantic City.
These ideas when incorporated in
the plans for extensive building OPP
erations now formulating for the
further development of West Allan
tic City will add to its distinction
among new cities, the popularity of
which is known and their progress
assured.
Mr.. Brooks is the architect for
the home of Benjamin R. Fox and
the new homes of Vice Chancellor
and Charles n. Higgate,
West Atlantic City.

Lighting
FitmentS
Great Decorative Value When
They Harmonic With
Other Furnishings
ADD CHARM TO
SETTING OF ROOM
By BENJAMIN r. FOX


The decorative value of lighting
! fitments in the home is coming
into more prominence each season,
because of the general awakening
on the part of the home owner to
! the possibilities that lie in having
fitments that harmonize with other
! furnishings.
Possibly because of the very
rapid growth of the use of cleo
tricity in the home, the true de-
velopment of fitments from a
decorative standpoint appears to
have been somewhat neglected in
the growing interest centered on
convenience outlets and appliances.
1t has been definitely proved
that lighting fitments may be
decorative as well as useful and
they possess the same decorative
value in adding charm to the set
ting of a room as does the fur
niture. In fact, lighting fitments
are being classified as furniture by
many retail stores and are referred
to as lighting furniture"
The makers of residential light
ing equipment have injected pro-
nounced style element into their
products. The use of new materials,
which can be cast into wide
variety of ornamental styles and
patterns, has been a comparatively
modern development. The newer
materials are capable of making
beautiful. permanent finish that
does not deteriorate, even under
adverse climatic conditions.
Aluminium has become one of
the most POPULAR materials because
of its porous character, which en-
ables it TO retain color Indefinitely,
thus permitting a lasting decor
alton
The newest style in lighting fit
ments which has just recently ap-
peared is combination of cast
aluminium and wrought iron, the
aluminium carrying the decorative
colors and the wrought iron having
A hand hammered effect. This
makes an excellent combination
for decorative effect.
The polishing of fitments at
regular intervals was at one time
q customary duty of the house
keeper. With the new style decor
atoms, however, polishing is never
required Colors in delicate tints
so blend as to harmoniZe with other
furnishings are quite generally
used.

rating The Bed
Chamber
HIGHEST FORM OF REST

The dictum that bedrooms should
be primarily restful was responsible
for many highly correct but exceed
ingly dull bed chambers. 1t was
interpreted to mean that none but
quiet tones should be used, and that
simplicity should be carried to the
point of severity.
AS a reaction against the over
ornate, heavily carved black walnut
period, this was all very we'll But
it took no account of the fact that
genuine uplift of spirit is the
highest form of rest, nor of the sue
cess with which this uplift may Of
ten be achieved by means of a bit
of gay color in the decorations, a
feeling of lightness and cheer ex-
pressed in the choice of furnishings
and accessories.
In but few homes today can a
room be set aside simply and solely
for sleeping purposes. In the ma
jority of families, the bedroom is
also the only place where the mis-
tress of the house may retire to
pen the private note or take her
midday siesta. For this reason, the
smart, modern bedroom assumes
some of the functions of boudoir
and dressing room, and in so doing
attains a decidedly charming indi-
viduality.
For example, it is most interest
ing to note, in recent setting in
the master bedroom of modern
home, how the addition of de-
lightfully feminine chaise lounge,
armchair and graceful little writing
table enhance the regulation suite,
which in this case is of beautifully
marked burl walnut-veneer, on gum
wood, with decorative hanging mir
rors over dresser and dressing ia
BILE. The writing table contrasts
beautifully, being of satinwood and
maple with delicate floral motifs,
while the chaise lounge and arm
chair are covered with cretonne
in an effective Vauxhall pattern.
The color scheme of this room
offers many suggestions for home
makers. Red violet was taken as
the key color, with walls done in
the new stippled effect-peach over
orchid-and the ceiling lighter
value but definitely related, not
plain white, which offers too stark
contrast. In the rug, the pre-
vailing tone was grayed down to a
delightful mauve, while the Toile

Much to Eliminate Old
Time Household Drudgery
and To Increase Quality of
Output

The modern labor-saving kitchen,
the pride of the American house
wife and the envy of her sisters In
other countries, owes its develop
ment TO a domestic adoption of the
principles used in factory and in
dustrial management, according to
A. Gordon King, service engineer
of the American Gas Association
Because the kitchen is the most
used room in the normal house
hold, it is the workshop of the
house" says Mr.. King, who is
quoted by the New Jersey Public
Utility Information Committee.
This makes it necessary for the
kitchenette to be an adequately
sized, well lighted and ventilated,
and efficiently equipped room in
every home.
"A visit to the 1927 kitchen
shows at a glance how well the
housewife has learned the lesson
of proper management taught by
industry. The equipment is effic-
lent and in good order. The appli-
ances ale of The latest design, and

motion or wasted effort when
she is engaged in the preparation
of meals.
1T is significant to notice the
rapidly growing popularity of
appliances and equipment that
have been approved by official
bodies who have the interest of
the American home at heart. Gas
ranges, for instance, are now
tested for safety, efficiency and
durability at the Cleveland Testing
Laboratory of the American Gas
Association. The Blue Starred label
this laboratory puts on approved
ranges and other gas-burning ap-
phanees, shows the housewife that
the equipment meets the specifi-
cations and requirements that have
been laid down by experts.
These signs that the housewife
is vitality interested in making her
home one of maximum convenience
so that she may have time for so
eial and family duties, should be
especially welcome. The home life
is the foundation of the body poll

the training of youth.
ANY move to retard the develop

the kitchen should be deplored.
Builders of homes today are CAPT

oper who does not respect her de-
mands in this respect is usually
the one who finds it hard to dis
