Brick Paths
|GWe Artistic
Garden Touch

Bricks lend themselves readily to
the requirements of design, dur
ability, harmony and neatness for
your garden walk The substance
Of which they are made has already
been subjected to the action of wind,
rain, flood, pressure. heat and cold
so that it is no wonder that shaped
into blocks and baked under intense
heat they should be almost as
lasting as granite.
In selecting bricks for walks the
best results are obtained by choos-
ing texture which is neither too
rough or too smooth, for smooth
brick is slippery when wet and a
very rough brick is difficult to keep
clean. Though there is an almost
unlimited range of color in bricks,
it is wise to be modest In your
selection, as the garden is more
important than the garden walk
and the brick path should keep its
place" in the scheme of things,
relying on the play of light and
shadow on its surface design for i'm
portance.
Because of the shape and size of
bricks they may be worked into
interesting designs which will make
your trip down the garden path"
an exciting one.

II you are buying, building or re-
modelling house, consider the many
little things that contribute to the
ease of everyday living. A door
that opens the wrong way may be
so annoying that it becomes a daily
aggravation: window with a screen
on the inside requiring you to 60
outside the house to close the win
dow is enough to make any one start
house hurting! Many of ,-these
things, if noticed in time, may be
done the right way at no additional
cost.
AS you enter your own house con-
slider the effect on your guests, as
well as their hostess, in greeting
them at your door Does the door
open so that it bottles you and the
guest in a tiny passageway so that
greetings are awkward and you get
in each others way? Sometimes
swinging the door the other way
will correct this. Or do you enter
small hallway to be faced by a
blank wall, or a series of closed
doors to closet, kitchen and base
ment which gives you the feeling
that you have wandered into Blue
boards castle? Whether a maid or
butler opens your front door, or
whether you greet your own guests,
there should be a feeling of well
come and graciousness Immediately.
Doors opening into lovely rooms with
fire and lamplight give that impress
sion.
When you have a group of doors,
as is so often the case, in an upper
hallway, kitchen or lower hallway,
consider how these work; especial
ly how you would manage with only
one hand free and the other arm
laden with bundles.

Of residential construction was up

at s71,002 ,637, an increase of nearly
SIC, 100000 over 1898. New York
City led the Nation in building with
a total of 1863 ,295 900, while Los
Angeles is in second place, slightly
ahead of the Capital. The WASH

Drying Plaster
Often Worps
IHouse Frame

There's nothing quite so disheart-
ening to a homemaker as a freshly
decorated room that has suddenly
developed ugly plaster cracks.
Tragic though it may be, it's un-
derstandable Plastering brings
into the house between two hundred
and three hundred gallons of water
that must be evaporated In the
evaporation process the lumber
framing of the house is subject to
warping and twisting. The natural
result is broken plaster.
A new and successful solution to
this problem is the use of insulation
board lath as a plaster base. The
lath forms moisture-resistant bar
rier between the plaster and franz
ing which will not buckle as the
plaster dries out.
The insulating lath is obtainable
in thicknesses of one-half inch,
three-quarter inch and one inch and
furnishes valuable insulation pro-
lection in addition to providing a
stronger plaster base.

Officials Probing
Wife Beating Case
Victim of Savage Attack Unable to Appear In Court;
Husband Under Bonds of 81 900 Pending Trial

A man who beat his Wife's face to
pulp in a brawl Wednesday night
and whose children are living in
conditions of squalor and degrada-
ton will face the possibility of a stiff
sentence in city court Saturday I'M
less probation officials can find an
other solution.
1t was testified in city court today
that Albert Millette, 20, of 80 Canal
street, beat his wife frightfully at
his home Wednesday night.
Prosecuting Attorney William K.
Lawlor, said the woman, who was
not able to appear in court, was
beaten so brutally that her features
were virtually unacceptable. The
prosecutor said it was unbelievable
that such punishment could have
been inflicted.
Millette gesticulated wildly as he
pleaded with the court for leniency,
He said a brother-in-law started the
his home repeatedly and are the
source of all the family troubles
He said a brotherin-laW started the
trouble Wednesday night.
"You had trouble with your
brother-in-law, so you beat your
wife" remarked Judge Theobald E.
Conway, sarcastically. "Wife-beat-
ing is a cowardly thing"
Millette had to be restrained by
Court Officer Joseph Carney as he
begged the judge not to send him
away. He said he would 60 live with
his father, and turn over his WPA
check to his wife, if he were spared
He pointed out he is the father of
four children, one of whom is hos
pitalized.
Judge Conway expressed amaze
ment that four children should live
in such conditions, after it was re-
