In five cities at the present time
there are five “Own Your Own Home”

homes because they figured that the
next May 1 would see a decline, but
they were fooled and now they are
not going to wait any longer. These
expositions are thronged with people
in search of ideas. They want to see
how a home looks from the outside,
how it appears on the inside, what
they are using in bathrooms, how they
are building kitchens and a thousand
and one other things that make the
home a real place in which to live.
Perhaps you are one of the many
who will be unable to attend one of
these expositions. That does not
necessarily mean, however, that you
cannot get the same Information and
some of the inspiration that these oth
er folks are getting. If you are In
terested In a home of ,your own, you
will more than likely get some real
ideas from the splendid design shown
Wire. It embodies the latest in con
struction, the most recent develop
ments in household convenience. It
is built to be a real home, and, after
all, that is the test. It may not be
just what you want but then again it
will give you 6ome tangible ideas that
will aid you In finding the one you
want.
There is no question about the
comfort of this home. As for con
struction, it is built to last. To t£e
average man the building of a home
is one of his biggest jobs during his
entire lifetime, and he wants it to
last. This house Is built of brick and
stucco, a very pleasing combination.
The roof is gable, rather steep, with
two attic root dormers on each side.
With the entrance and first tloor
set on practically the ground level,
this house offers a particularly in
viting appearance and reflects a defi
nite impression of hospitality. The
entrance partakes somewhat of the
Colonial, although built on more square
modern lines. A large glass-paneled
door opens the way into a reception
hall running straight back through the
house to the rear. From here rises
the stairs to the floor above and from
this same hall are the entrances to
the living room, dining room and
kitchen.
A real surprise and treat awaits the
visitor to the living room, a great in
formal room of good proportions, 15
by 25 feet 6 inches. In the center of
the outside wall, facing the living
porch, is a large fireplace flanked on
each side by double French doors
opening out on the porch. The porch,
which is 10 by 24 feet, has been
screened in. During the winter this
covering can be changed to glass and
the use of this space continued
throughout the year. Additional light
t 6 the living room is provided by win
dows in front and rear.
Stepping across the hall one finds
himself in a large well-appointed din
ing room, 15 by 14 feet. It is a bright
room, conveniently situated with re
gard to the kitchen and other rooms.
After all the relation of the dining
room and kitchen is one of the most
important things to the housewife.
If she is not fortunate enough to be
able to have a maid, and many would
rather do their own work, she will
soon realize the importance of the
arrangement of these two rooms.
Every foot means a step, and through
out the day these steps mount up and
at the same time sap up her energy.
In this home the kitchen is small,
10 by 10, which seems to be more or
less standard in homes that are be
ing erected at the present time. Not
much more than 100 square feet are
needed in this room.
Passing to the floor above we find
four bedrooms, 15 feet 4 inches by
11 feet 6 inches each. With windows
on two sides they are well supplied
with fresh air and the sleepers are
assured of cross currents during the
night when the windows are open.
Ventilation in bedroom Ib of vital im
portance to every member of the
family.
In case more sleeping quarters are
needed the attic can be quickly and
economically converted into at least
two small bedrooms.
This house Is suitable for any loca
tion, or any sized plot, but it will also
be found very useful In a shallow lot,
which is quite frequent in suburbs.
It is especially adaptable for a short
i wide lot.
The dimensions are 40 feet 6 inches
by 28 feet.

I. Isaiah’s Vision of Glory (vv. 1-4).
So definite was this vision that the
prophet remembered the very time of
its occurrence. It meant so much to
him that lie could ever look back to
it as a day when his ministry took on
a new meaning.
1. He Saw the Lord on His Throne
(v. 1). Though the death of Uzziah
left Judah’s throne empty it was made
clear to the prophet that the throne
of God was occupied. The Lord was
high and lifted up, showing that He
is above all kingdoms. This was a
peculiar preparation of Isaiah for his
work. The one who has really seen
God can never be the same again; life
has a fuller meaning ever afterward.
2. He Saw the Seraphims Above (vv.
2,3). Just who these beings are we
do not know. The word signifies
“fiery,” “burning.” They were glorious
beings whose business was to wait
upon the Lord, to go on errands for
Him. They had six wings—two for
flight; two to cover their face, show
ing reverence; and two to cover their
feet, showing humility. These three
pairs show that reverence and hu
mility are of equal value before God,
with activity. The song of the sera
phims shows that they saw holiness as
God’s supreme attribute. The thrice
“holy” perhaps refers to the Trinity.
The first choir sang, “Holy, holy, holy,’'
and the second choir responded tc
this by saying, “The whole earth is
full of His glory.”
3. Ttie Manifestation of Majesty (v.
4). “The posts of the door moved at
the voice of him that cried, and the
house was filled with smoke.” The
smoke, no doubt,.signified God’s wrath
against man’s sinfulness (see Psalms
18:8; 74:1).
11. Isaiah’s Conviction of Sin (v. 6).
The vision of God brought the
prophet to see himself. It is only in
the light of God’s holiness that we see
our unholiness. When Peter got a
glimpse of who Ciirist was lie begged
Him to depart from him, saying, “De
part from me; for I am a sinful man,
O lord” (Luke 5:8). The prophet not
only realized that he was a sinner,
but that the nation was a nation of
sinners. What the world needs today
above all things is a vision of God.
111. Isaiah’s Cleansing From Sin
(vv. 6,7).
The taking of the coal from the altar
shows that it was connected with
sacrifice. The fire that consumed the
sacrifice was holy fire. When a sin
ner gets a vision of God In Christ, the
Holy Spirit applies the merits of
Christ’s shed blood and cleanses from
all sin.
IV. Isaiah’s Call (v. 8).
Immediately following his cleansing
came the call. Men must be cleansed
from sin before they shall be called
to God’s service. Though God has
many angelic beings who willingly go
on errands for Him, yet He has er
rands upon which only cleansed hu
man beings can go. The only ones
who can really declare the gospel of
God’s grace are those who have ex
perienced its saving power. God is
asking this same question of men and
women. Isaiah readily responded to
his call by dedicating himself to the
task. He said, “Here am I; send me.”
V. Isaiah’s Commission (vv. 9-13).
1. The Sending (vv. 9, 10). He had
a most discouraging task before him.
He is assured that the people will
hear his message, but be unmoved by
it. They will even increase in blind
ness and deafness to the divine warn
ings—they will neither be converted
nor healed. Such a hopeless task
would only be undertaken by one who
had had a vision of God.
2. The Encouaragement (vv. 11-13).
Facing this discouraging outlook the
prophet raised the inquiry, “Lord, how
long?" The Lord in His reply assured
him that It would not last forever.
The land would be desolate, the cities
; without inhabitants, and the houses
' without occupants; but as the oak re
tains its vital substance even long
after It has been cut down, so from
Judah shall a remnant be saved. The
holy seed Is the substance which shall
constitute the basis of the kingdom
which shall come when David’s sob
shuli be king.
Must Look to Jesus.
If I want to repent, if I want to
.•hange my mind and get more and
more determined to be good, I must
look at Jesus Christ, I must notice
how perfectly faultless, perfectly lov- I
lng, perfectly patient, perfectly ready I
to spend Himself in the service of I
others, He is.—The Bishop of London.
The Deceitful Tongue.
For the rich men thereof are full ot
/lolence, and the inhabitants thereof
have spoken lies, and their tongue Is
deceitful in their mouth. —Mlcab 6:12.
1 Borrow Sportswear Styles;
I New Styles in Millinery |
THE arbiters of fasldon are not
those who design the clothes that
pass in review each season, but those
who approve them. The way of the
producer would be a straight and
easy path to success if he could make
the right guess at least half of the
time. His brain children have had
their spring tryouts and he knows
now which have survived.
Among the dependable things for
summer wear, very simple sport suits
are already a success. The word
“sport” must be given a broad in-
RIVAL OF THE TAILORED SUIT
terpretation in connection with clothes
this season for it embraces everyday
street dress. As a rival of the tail
ored suit, sport suits like that shown
here, or similar to it, enliven the
streets and lend to their wearers at
least the flavor of youth. At first
glance it seems there is nothing to
these suits —just u plain skirt and
a jacket or smock or slip-over blouse—
but there is in reality much to them.
It lies in the choice of material, color,
neck and sleeve styles and charac
ter of decoration. The suit pictured
is made of gray homespun and em
broidered at the neck and on the
sleeves with blue and white chenille.
It has three small pockets, one at
each side of the blouse and one, still
smaller, at the left o♦ the bust. The
narrow belt is made of the material.
The skirt, as pictured, is shorter
FLOWERS AND FRUITS PREVAIL
than the mode dictates —eight Indies
from the floor is the limit set for
brevity. But in some localities the
younger women insist upon shorter
skirts and go their Independent wuy
with the approval of a considerable
number of people.
Fashion may decree simplicity In
dresses and suits for spring and sum
mer, but she is of a different mind
about millinery. In every assembly of
hats we find them elaborated in many
ways; paying tribute to spring by
wearing its blossoms and heralding
the coming of summer by choosing its
fruits and flowers for their adornment.
These are the themes, with endless
variations, that millinery employs to
make Its song of summer, and huts
with no flowers or fruits on them, are
rare.
Another outstanding feature In the
new displays of millinery is the num
ber of hats with brims more or less
wide, and therefore more picturesque
than their early spring forerunners.
Colors are enchanting, with many
soft shades of yellow in great favor.
In blues, cobalt and periwinkle have
been reinforced by n pule tint, ar
riving in company with “Princess
Alary pink." Orchid has an army of
admirers and gooseberry green is a
promising addition to the gay conipuny.
In more vivid tones there are “spark”
and “lip-stick” reds, rust color and
nasturtium shades. Hut none of these
colors white, which the dis
plays Indicate will predominate for
midsummer.
In the group of four hats shown
here a little glimpse of the great
diversity in millinery styles Is given.
They are distinctly different from
each other. The group includes a leg
horn in the natural color, with soft
crown and scurf of pale amber georg
ette and a wreutli of locust blossoms,
A small lint of orchid straw, wreathed
with grapes and pansies, has a sash
of narrow blue ribbon. A white fab<
rlc hat Is dotted with black beads
that spatter themselves over the black
silk blossoms flattened against the
brim. It has a collar and hanging
ends of silk braid. Whoever chooses
may find tailored, fabric hats and
among them those of Batavia cloth,
like the hat pictured In bluck, with
stiff loops of ribbon and a Jet buckle
for ornament.
