Miss Sauier Knows
Her Lumber Lists

Paraphrasing the widely quoted
observation that "a woman's place
Is in the home" Miss Chloella
Sauter says that a woman's place
Is in the home building industry.
"Chloe," as Miss Sauter is known
to her friends, is the cashier and
stenographer at Reliance Lumber
company.
Several years experience with a
large lumber manufacturing COM
pany and with the Reconstruction
Finance corporation have given
Miss Sauter an experience enabl-
ing her to talk the language"
with building contractors. Her
knowledge of lumber and building
phrases is valuable in preparing
specification lists and other stenog-
raphic work connected with build
ing.
As an avocation. Chloe grows
choice flowers at her home which
she shares with her mother and
brother at 1908 No. Proctor st.
The Sauter flower gardens are one
OF the show places Of Tacoma.
Choice roses and iris thrive under
the growing thumb" of Miss
Sauter and her family.
"Chloe's interest in flowers is a
distinct asset to our office" says
Mrs. Lucille Hatchell. "She keeps
the Reliance offices supplied with
beautiful blooms during the entire
growing season, adding 4 pleasant
touch of color to our surroundings
during working hours.

Plan With Reason
Inferior Of Home

The interiors Of small homes can
represent a departure from con-
vention. While extravagantly fur
nished interiors are out Of the
question in this class of dwelling,
they should be planned and deco
rated and furnished with definite
reason and in a distinctive charac-
ter.
A kitchen designed TO make the
housewives days more cheerful has
walls painted pale clear yellow
bordered with black woodwork.
The floor covering is linoleum in a
black and cream checked pattern.

Few Principles Act as Key
10 Low Cost House Planning
Ivobility And Economy Relationship
Rests Upon Good Design OF Structure

ment of essential movable furni.
ture without excessive floor area.
Dining Room Question
The question of whether din
ing room is luxury or neces-
sity In the low-cost home Is in
variably factor for consideration
In minimum homes. cooking and
dining. or living and dining may
be combined In one room in the
interest of economy. although in
more pretentious homes these
functions are usually separated.
Most builders now feel that a
compromise can be effected for
the small, low-cost home by COM
hining the dining function with
either that of cooking or living.
This compromise is felt to be
logical since dining space Is re-
quired for use for only about
three hours each day.
Where the dining room and
living room are combined, space
economy is often obtained by
locating the dining space in a
corner. usually near window.
The home owner who selects fur
nishings with care can make the
dining area harmonic with the
living room 30 as to appear as
one unit when not used for dining.
In this manner. objection to din
ing in the living room may be
minimized.
Careful Planning Vital
The planning OF bedrooms re-
quires considerable care IL Iva
bility and economy are to be
achieved. The correct location Of
door and window openings will
determine the convenience OF the
room by permitting proper place.
ment of furniture. An arrange
ment of furniture which requires
walking around bed in order to
reach the bedroom entrance door,
a closet, or dresser Is inconvenient
and should be used only when
wall openings and wall space
makes any other arrangement i'm
possible.
Several principles in bedroom
planning have been offered as
guides to attainment Of convent
ence. These are:
l. Convenience Is increased when
the dresser and closet are rea-
sonably close together.
2. Housekeeping convenience Is
increased when there is sufficient
space to permit the bed to be
made from two sides.
8. Window openings should not
occur Immediately over a bed
especially near the head of the
bed.

Be Sure 10 Get
RIGHT Material

An important factor to be con-
sidered by prospective home build
ers who plan to make future addi-
tons to the house Is the selection
of the right type of material to be
used.
Many families Of moderate
means who are building only one
part of their house now and will
make additions as funds become
available have chosen specific
types of construction which are
well suited to house of this type.

Careless Disposal
OF Waste Is Blumed

Clogged drains are nearly al
ways the result of careless dis
posal of waste materials. A
strong solution of caustic potash
potassium hydroxide) and hot
water poured through drain will
eat or burn away the average OBJ
struction and dissolve greases. An
occasional flushing with any of the
commercial solvents will help to
keep drains open.

Check On Schools
Before Picking Site

Schools are an important requi-
site of a residential neighborhood.
In selecting a community for the
purpose of building a home, the
prospective home owner should
have some assurance that there
are schools available in the COM
munity. or that provision is being
made for them in the future.

As parting gift Raoul said
with dignity. We have been
friends for several years and I
thought II might compensate her
for losing me. Sheila. darling, !
know this II difficult for a girl
like you to understand but she is
not like you. Material things mean
30 much to her. She was going
away To stay and she asked me
to take her to the train. Would IT
not have been very rude OF me
10 refuse such a small favor"
She asked despairingly, How
can believe you?"
You must believe me-" he cried.
7 only lied about knowing her
to save your feelings. I thought
after she had gone it wouldn't
matter
Her eyes closed with suspicion.
And last night. was that the
reason you did not see me ?"
Il told you I had to attend a
directors meeting" Raoul remind
ed her. IF you do not believe that
you have only to ask my father.
He will assure you that I was
present"
This was terrible. They were
quarreiling as If they hated each
other.
"Oh. but how can believe
him ?" she thought. How can
ever trust him again."
Too weak to stand Sheila sank
into a chair and Raoul knelt beside
her.
Il dove you, Sheila, with all my
heart. I am sorry I lied to you.
I admit that it was wrong but
the very fact that you are acting
like this proves my point. And
you are not being fair. You must
have gone out with many other
men before you came to this coun-
try. The pianist from Brazil made
love to you under my very nose.
And this son of your mothers
old friend whom you call Jim.
Didn't he wait in the garden for
you one night until I had gone ?"
Felt Childish
The way he was putting 1t made
Sheila feel childish and narrow
minded but she knew in her heart
that his logic was wrong.
Certainly ] don't expect you
never to have had any girls" she
said trying to be more reasona BILE.
But you told me yourself you had
never been In love"
TT doesn't necessarily follow
that ! have never been loved" he
reminded her.
Naturally not" she admitted
thinking of Jim who loved her al
though she had never given him
the slightest encouragement.
She was beginning to realize
that Raoul had a side to this
question but she could not forgive
him the lie he had told and the
memory of Jim with his painful
honesty made Raoul's deviation
from the truth seem all the black
er. Jim would not have lied to her
no matter how much it might
spare her feelings or his own.
There's no use talking about II
any longer" Sheila said. Its been
such a shock to me I'll have to
have time to think IL over"
Promise me that you won't run
away without telling me-" he
begged.
She shook her head.
mo, I won't do that"
"And you believe that I love
your" Raoul continued anxiously.
Believes Him
She gazed at him sadly. Yes,
in your own way I think you do"
He pressed her hands to his lips
but he did not attempt TO kiss
her.
Murmuring, II shall telephone
you tomorrow. darling" he closed
the door softly behind him leav-
ing her alone.

BRIEFS
BY BILL GARRIGUs

There's q homely beauty and an
appealing simplicity about some
Of the older customs that Nnger
in the hinterlands. Necomers to a
village sometimes are surprised,
sometimes shocked at the man
nerisrns of our people. The school
marin from the city usually has
her difficulties, until she gets ac-
quainted, and not the least of her
several problems Is school visitors.
The fashion Of school visiting has
all but died out In the city, but 1t
fingers here where people have
more time and where the citizenry
are more concerned about what is
delivered for their school tax dol,
lar.
Possibly because Of its location,
Bullet Hill School receives the
bulk Of this attention. On almost
any day, the school teacher may
look up from her desk to see
taciturn Yankee, or an inquisitive
spinster standing ON the thresh-
old awaiting welcome. Some OF
these people are chronic school
visitors; others come simply for
the chance to enter . complaint
about the treatment some child
receives, or to secure material for
discussion at the Ladies' Aid. High
school pupils often take day off
to visit their old school because
they are just q little h0mesick, or
Just a bit proud to have eventu-
ally graduated to the higher form.
And others, denied the opportun-
ity for "higher education" return
ON their idle day to baSk in the
shy glances of their One-time as
sOciates, and to boast little about
their personal independence.
Horace Green came down from
the Purchase last week to visit at
Bullet Hill School and, perhaps,
to exhibit his new Chevrolet. Mr..
Green had work to do before he
could make that trip. He lives far
beyond the zone of the town snow
pillow, and to reach civilization
from the Businesses Of the ridge
near the garnet mines, Horace had
to do some real Shovelihg. What
1t takes to visit school, those
Green boys have most OF.
