You can get them in old Italian

any trimming.
another new slip cover fabric that
GENES in a number of color combina-
tions Is called laurel stripe, has diago-

tone between on which are floral
clusters, and is planned to accompany
a material having simply the diagonal

An ideal slip cover material for the

pie golfing. sailing, playing tennis,
meteor boating, and generally disport-
ing themselves in a holiday, our-of-

Black Background.
For the living room and dining
room furnished in more or less Vic
torian style there Is an utterly charm
ing glazed chintz having black back
ground and old-fashioned flowers in
natural color, on a white ground with
the same floral motif. But we'd choose
the black background by all means.
for when you hold the chintz up to the
light Gas it would be at a window
the flowers stand out almost as II
they were alive.
k series Of old English hunting
prints by Morland inspired the de-
sigaer of another good looking dra-
perry or slip cover material. In toile
de Jouy effect there are amusing little
scenes scattered over the surface of
this chintz, showing red coated hunt
ers at the start, the cover, the check,
and the kill.
And always the prices are so rea-
sonable that you'll want to do every
room in the house. It's going to be
an interesting Summer indoors.

DECREASED HOME
COSTS ARE URGED
Mounting Prices Are De.
CIared Barrier to Con.
sumner Demand.

Frank handling Of the barrier TO
home construction which lies in the
drastic increase in building costs dur
ing the past 10 months is suggested
by Morton Bodflsh. executive vice
president OF the United States Build
ing and Loan League. as necessary to
a successful program for expanding
employment in this field.
With today's cost of building two
story frame dwelling at 1874 per cent
of the 1928 all-time high in building
costs. consumed demand Is being re-
buffed rather than stimulated, the
league official holds.
Costs Investigated.
A special investigation of the COM
parative costs of II different factors
in home construction. all the way
from excavating to painting and deco
rating. in 1925, 1928. May. 1888, and
at the present time was made for the
league by Joel w. Leslie of Grand
Rapids, Mich, manager of one of the
home financing associations affiliated
with the league. 1t developed that
the past 10 months have seen a 27
per cent increase in building costs,
so that a home which could be built
for 1886 last May would cost S4,713
this year. 1t would have been priced
at 1886 in 1925 and $5,4l0 in 1923,
so that the cost of such construction
is now only about II per cent off from
the peak prices.
1t is generally conceded that the
way out of depression is through ex-
panded consumer demand" said Mr..
Bodflsh. What Is not so generally
agreed upon. but seems just as obvious
is that the expansion of demand must
come about through low prices, low
enough to permit an widening
circle of income groups to enter the
market. The experience of the auto
mobile industry when they started
mass production and lowered cost is
one telling evidence of this. Far from
tempting home owners to come into
the field by giving them a product
priced in keeping with the income,
We see building costs today approach
ing the high peak at which the slump
in building started In rough lumber
and interior finish and in he smaller
item of window shades the cost is
most than it was in 1923. The only
single item involved in the home
which is lower than last year is gas
service. and the one which has re-
manned stationary is the cost of the
building permit"

but will actually make over the entire

fresh new beauty to 1t. And at re-
markably low price. too.
Harmonic With Draperies.
This year for the first time fabrics
intended for this practical purpose
were designed especially to harmonize
with the new drapery lines. It's the
smart thing. now, not to match your
slip covers with your window draper
les, but to ensemble them-that Is. to
get q chintz or a linen or q cotton
that was planned to 60 with another
of different design. Thus, you have
one thing at the windows and another
on your sofa and chairs, but the same
colors will appear in each fabric. there
will be q perfect harmony of line. and
the total result will be one Of great
smartness and real beauty.
Take a particularly nice brown
glazed chintz. for instance, having a
floral design in off-whites. beige, and
red browns. With it as your drapery
fabric you get solid color brown
harmonizing chintz having candy
stripe pattern in red browns and white
for your slip covers. The candy
stripes are grouped, first three to-
gether, then two. so that you can do
interesting things with this chintz.
Use Increases Beauty.
Fortuny fabrics, Geneose velvets.
are the acme Of gorgeous drapery and
upholstery materials. AS they grow
old gracefully through the years they
fade slightly and become even love-
lier.

SOUND MORTGAGE
SYSTEM IS GOAL
Lieber Explains Philosophy
of Roosevelt Home Financ-
ing Program.

The second step in the Roosevelt
home financing program which be-
came a law with the Presidents sig
nature early this month look still
further toward the maintenance and
expansion Of a sound permanent home
mortgage system based on local in
stitutions.
Philip Lieber of Shreveport. La,
president of the United States Build
ing and Loan League, points out this
underlying philosophy Of the new
Tneasure in a message to member
building and loan associations which
stresses certain features hitherto neg
lected in public comment upon 1t.
Mr.. Lieber points to the ALLEGATION
of $500,000 for the use of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board in the en-
couragement Of local thrift and home
financing institutions, and the pro-
vision for Government investment in
Federal savings and loan associations
to much larger total percentage of
their resources than was provided In
the original law creating these associ-
ations. He further cites the author
ization for the purchase of a maxi
mum of S5O,000.000 worth of Federal
Home Loan Bank bonds by the Home
Owners Loan Corporation and the
authority for the Government to en-
ploy as its fiscal agent any building
and loan association which is a men,
ber OF the Home Loan Bank System.
The line of cleavage between relief
operations Of the H. o. L. C. and the
permanent financing of home owners
who can afford to carry their obliga-
tions Is further drawn in the new law,
Mr.. Lieber said.
THE new statute unquestionably
recognizes the Federal Home Loan
Bank System with its membership of
existing local home financing insti-
tutions and of those yet to be created
as the permanent basis for the home
financing Of the country" said Mr..
Lieber.
Especially important in building up
understanding of the entire future Of
the home mortgage plan is Section 2
OF the new measure which says that
no home mortgage or other obligation
or lien shall be acquired by the relief
organization nor shall any cash ad-
vance be made unless the applicant
was in involuntary default on June
l3, 1888. with respect to his home
mortgage. except that. fairly enough,
Of the new measure. which says that
this section says that any home
owner whose economic misfortunes de-
veloping since June 13. 1889, can be
proved to be involuntary may be
eligible for loan. This specific def
milton Of eligibility for the relief loans
should, however, 60 far toward pre-
venting the attempts Of those who do
not understand the measure to take
advantage Of certain liberal features
of the home owners loan act even
when they were not eligible in the
spirit Of the law.
"All along the way this act should
be helpful not only in removing the
doubt about the future value of the
H. o. L. c. bonds through the guar
antee Of their principal, but also In
Strengthening out confusion which may
have existed between the relief opera
