Attractive Homes an Asset

Two ideas about the. American home
have had remarkable growth In re-
cent years. One is that the dwelling
of today, If 1t is to hold a fair position
in competition with the motor car and
other comparatively recent allure
ments from the outside, must display
the attractiveness and good taste that
characterize many Of these other
things. But it has become increas-
ingly evident, too, that the task Of
bringing the home up to the desired
artistic level is even more matter
CT education, good taste and skillful
guidance than it is matter of money.
The element of cost must be cOnsid-
cred, of course, in any circumstances.
But attractiveness Of the best sort may
be feature Of the moderately priced
hcme as Of the motor car Of a similar
nature. "'

Store Front Counts as
Good Business Asset

"The store front indicates the char
acter Of a business establishment as
we'll as of the men back of it, and
that holds good whether the business
is clothing, shoes, plumbing or what
not" Howard 81. Edmonds writes In
an article called "Store Fronts" in
recent issue of Domestic Engineering.
Edmonds draws upon his experience
in building and remodeling store fronts
for many Cleveland companies for the
material in his article.
1.-THE store front Is silent sales

year and if given half chance will
return its cost many times over in

"a few of the great advantages Of
bringing store front up-to-date are:

stimulates an activity in the entire
community; it gradually builds up

do business"

CHAPTER v
The First Quarrel

Ernestine's anger and resentment
grew like a bonfire. The small front
room was cold, but she was unaware
of it's temperature or Of the frost
gathering thick on the window. Every
thing was fuel to the flame which
burned in her. The longer Will de-
layed the more her anger grew. His
cavalier treatment of her. Tommy
could take her home! Mr.. Poole
needed him. More than anything else,
more, she told herself, than the hui
initiation of Mr.. Pastano's scorn was
this fact, that Mr.. Poole mattered
more than she did.
She gave herself up to anger as
she had given herself to love-with
abandon. viii had neglected her. He
had Inundated her. She knew that
she would not have cared for any of
1t so much If she had not been forced
to see it through the Mortified eyes
Of her sister and Loring. They were
plying her now. She could imagine
Lillian's comments, Lorings sympa-
thy. That was the crux of the whole
matter. And Mr.. Poole, the vile old
drunkard! Was this the sort of
friendship her marriage was to bring
her? She had given up everything for
Will-everything! Was he to sacri-
flee nothing for her? Could he not
abandon this alteration Of an obscene
old man who happened to be a car
toonist? 1t was not necessary for
these gifted people to foregather in
such a place. She burned and trem-
bled as she recalled Pastano's con-
tempt. That strangers should need to
instruct her as to her proper place
So absorbing were her thoughts, so
wrapped was she in the resounding
cadences of her own inner tumult, that
she did not hear the outer door nor
Wills soft step on the stairs, when at
last he came.
"Up yet?" he asked in husky
whisper. You should have been in
bed two hours ago. It's cold as the
devil outside. But what's the matter,
kitten? Aren't you well?"
"Dont speak to me-" said ErneStine,
and the fact that. like himself, she
had to lower her voice in considera.
ton for people sleeping on either side
only added to her rage.
"But Ernestine!"
"Don't speak to mel" she cried
again, and this time her voice was
clear. II never want to go anywhere
with you again."
"Be SILENT" he commanded in a
voice low but stern, and his eyes
leaped back at her with an anger equal
to her own. "Heye you lost your
wits? Shouting in this place in the
middle Of the night?'
Ernestine stood, her mouth open a
little in amazement at his tone. Hot
words trembled upon her tongue.

Importance Of Proper
House DESIGN Apparent

Through a better appreciation Of
architecture, home lovers more and
more are striving toward perfection
and beauty of house design. AS a re-
suit, knowledge of historic styles is
well defined in the minds of interest
ed discriminating home builders. To-
day people know approximately what
they want In the way of home, and
recognize the Importance of architec-
tural guidance. Only well-proportioned
homes with artistic and correct archi-
tectural treatment attract and appeal.
To assure the ideal home-be its
size ever so small-the technically
trained architect should be consulted.
No one thinks of going to dentist
with bodily ills. BY the same token
no one should go to contractor for
home design. Home design is highly
specialized field. and only an architect
can reflect and crs stallize your home
ideas properly and correctly into a
design possessing merit.
One often hears because Pm build
ing a small house, l can't afford an
architect-besides, know where can
get some plans cheap"
This attitude has accounted for hum
dreds of unattractive homes which
have no resale value-eyesores and
a disgrace to the community.-Cleve-
land Leader.

Will swung about in establishment,
and there, indeed, coming through the
room uneasily, were Lillian and her
lover. Ernestine stood, smiling malig-

Discoveries Put Roman Art on Higher Plane

But archaeological discoveries in It

the last two or three decades. and the
scientific comparison of Roman art
with Greek and other art, and the con-

put Rome on rather high plane of

"But how about you? How would
you have got home? Our coming
along was an accident"
Tommy Tucker would have taken
me-" said Ernestine calmly. "Or the
visions, or Monsieur Mostane. I'd
have gone home all right"
There was a silence of disapproval
and adjustment. The car rolled
smoothly along the quiet streets.
'Then everything's all right?" asked
Lillian diffidently.
''Of course, darling"
''I'm SO glad. VIII you come and
have lunch with mamma and me to-

plans"
'I'll see," said Ernestine. "Now.
I'll have to go home. I'm terribly

'Of course you are. It's late. I'm
tired, too. But, Ernestine, I'm so
happy that wonder If can be any

clear--quick and competent. Ernes-

"You will be happy always. You

They left her at the stone steps and
watched until she opened the door
with her latchkey and disappeared into
the dark prison-like house. Then Lor-
ing turned the car about and, with
Lillian at his side, started back north.
Lillian cuddled against him.
"Oh, Lorrie," she said sorrowfully.
