Home in Good Taste
By SARA Inland.

Flowers make a room really much
more charming, for with the growing
and poisoning of the plants there is
an effect of change.
A window like that shown in the
illustration is ideal for ported plants,
for they have plenty Of room to spread
and opportunity to bask in the sun
shine.
1t is very nice to move the plants
about the house and make changes
in the schemes of decoration by this
method. Perhaps a plant with yellow
blossoms will do a lot to make a more
hearty welcome in the guest room, and
a plant with lavender flowers is Just
a jewel in a yellow and green break
fast room.
There are so many plain flower pots
Of various colorS that it is an easy
matter to have the pot match the room.
The plants could be put in the regula-
ton brown pots and then slipped in
the pottery ones, which are really used
as jardinieres. It is more interesting
to have each jardiniere in an indi-

OAKLAND FIGHTS
USED TO INSPECT
GIGANTIC VESSEL

Oakland Fights, running three
abreast, were used for the initial in
spection of the promenade deck of the
giant steamer Europa when she ar
rived in New York recently after
establishing new transatlantic
record of four days, II hours and six
minutes.
The promenade deck of the new ocean
speed queen resembles floating high
way-a road approximately one-third
of a mile in length over which the
Oaklands carried many of the visitors
who came to see the immense vessel.
The tremendous turbines of the So
0O0-ton ship develop 12S,0O0 horsepow-
err, equal to the combined power of
more than 1900 Oakland Fights which
are rated at IS brake horsepower.
Driven in single file, that number of
Oaklands would form a line more
than five miles long.
The Europa is a sister ship of the
Bremen which held the transatlantic
record until the former reduced the
time by IS minutes. The turbines of
the big ships require breaking in"
period after the manner of an auto
mobile engine. North German Lloyd
tofficials believe that after the two
ships are thoroughly broken in, they
will be capable of maintaining a speed
of 80 knots per hour.

Both hare and moon were thought

sex. The new moon was masculine,
the waning moon feminine But a
more important reason for the identi-
fication Of the hare with the moon

with their eyes open, unlike rabbits,
which are born blind.
'The name of the hare In Egyptian
was 'un.' meaning open Now, the
moon was the open-eyed watcher Of
the skies at night and the hare. born

the paintings, September Moonlight and
Lights Across the Bay" are nOcturnes, beauti-
fully rendered, with equal strength and delicacy
of touch, recalling not little similar works by
Willard Metcalf.
A place of honor in the gallery has been
given to painting, CLOUD Shadows on Irish

natures presentations-the contrast of distant
blue mountain and nearer green hills of blue
sky and passing clouds But i'll showing such
as this it is not easy to discriminate, to pick

subjects, so competent their handling.
For the most part Miss MacCord paints IN
the style of the impresSionists, using pure
color applied in short strokes to produce the
effect of brilliant sunlight, as in "Pergola in
Cocumella" and Street Steps-Gloucester." In
few instances, however, such the two paint
ings of Irish hill country, she has reverted to
the mixed palette and the more accustomed
method of broad, sweeping brush strokes and
flat surfaces But whatever the method en-
ployed, her works are invariably fresh, colorful,
alive. They are the kind Of paintings with
which one would like to live.
