said Wray. I'VE shall play foot ball

to blend effectiveness in coaching with

of defense, but a. part Of the offense.

1t has been many generations since
comfort was so accented in decoration
as it is today. In the time before the
term interior decoration" was coined,
when establishment and beauty were
secondary and necessity foremost, COM
fort was in its supremacy. All house
hold furnishings were the outcome
Of necessity originally and this was
always coupled with comfort. 1t has
not been so far back that many who
are alive today can remember the
time when rooms must be decorative
whether they were at the price Of ease
or not.
Much strict period decoration was
far from comfortable to live in, since
the luxuries of the period they repre-
sented could not include the modern
conveniences and developments to make
living easier.
When the era came that the ap-
pearance Of a room was the criterion
of its excellence in decoration many
old-time comforts were set aside as
not sufficiently ornamental to be in
cluded. The craze for approximation
eliminated many comfortable furnish
ings, putting in their place severe and
hard fittings but, strange as 1t may
seem, this very influence is partly re-
sponsible for the return of some luxu-
rious furnishings. For instance, car
pets were once banished and portable
rugs that could be taken from rooms
were the favorite floor coverings be-
cause the dust raised when carpets
were swept was undoubtedly insanitary.
The dust not only got into whatever
remained m the room during the clean

IS greater than the demand, as the
economists say.
one thing about our present cheap
money Is that 1t is cheap only for short
time borrowings. And while that doesn't
help much in renewing your mortgage,
it is a very optimistic sign.
There is q plentiful supply Of money
in the country now, because business is
rather quiet, so the normal amount of
money Is not demanded for use in buy
ing and selling. Ordinarily as much
slack" as there is at present between
the demand and the supply Of money
would indicate hard times, with prob
ably great deal of unemployment and
suffering. Money would be available
all over the country at low rates.
But it Just isn't behaving that way.
Call money, as you notived in the paper,
is cheap. But call money is money
which may be borrowed subject to
call" or repayment. at any time on
one days notice. The fact that it is
cheap means that there is plenty Of
money today, but the fact that all loans
for longer period are bearing interest
much nearer normal means that money
lenders are expecting better times very
soon. They are willing. as one banker
says, to lend their money at low rates
for few days or weeks, but won't tie
any OF II up beyond SIX montnS, because
they expect the demand to be much
keener before Spring.
OF course, the difference between the
2 per cent for call money and the 8
per cent which you pay on the mort
gage seems pretty large. even under the
circumstances. There is not ordinarily
more than 3 or per cent between call
money rates and real estate loans. In
fact, the rate which banks pay for saw
ing deposits is generally about the same
as call money. 1t is in the rate at
which banks get their money and the
difference between that and the loans
they make that they get their profit.
One reason why you have to pay so
much on a small mortgage is just be-
cause 1t is small. The Bookkeeping costs
of making a small loan are Just as great
as for a large one When these are
added into the interest rate for the
small loan it makes 1t relatively high.

ing, but it was breathed in also by the
one who swept. With the modern
vacuum cleaner carpets, with their
soft, luxurious tread, are again in
style. They make floors warmer and
deaden sound all over floor and ease
the feet of the occupants. They do
not slip as rugs on bare floors do. Plain
carpets save the life of rugs laid on
them and bring out their beauty If the
carpet color is neutral and soft.
The return of ottomans or footStools
to favor makes life more comfortable.
Now that long dresses are coming into
vogue, women find them graceful to
use as foot rests and Just as easy for
tired feet as do men. Low footStools
also make for comfort.
The old-time candle stand that could
be placed by a chair whenever 1t was
moved had its distinct advantage in
being portable. The modern chair
reading lamp, though portable only to
Q certain degree, is easier on the eyes,
for 1t has steady, brighter glow. The

ing, but, for comfort and the dimin-
ishing of eyestrain, the modern light
far exceeds the ancient type.
There is long distance to 60 be-
fore the modern house in city, suburb
or outlying districts can have freedom
from noise that has so much to do
with comfortable living. This is an era
of sound as well as mechanics, and,
while the latter aids comfort, the for
mer destroys. For this reason every
homemaker should try to do what she
can to soften all noises In the home.
