The part of the home-factory that la

the living room. Its products are so
Intangible that It is next to impossible
to say definitely:
"This chair, which cost S2O, lr worth
Xhe capital invested."
Yet it is precisely that question
which the housewife should attempt
to answer before permitting said chair
to continue encumbering her floor.
The worst work of that living-room
ifurniture has probably already been
performed. Its disproportionately high
cost has kept you from buying produc
tive equipment.
All you can do is to try to rectify
the error.
In regard to join pieces of furniture
—notably hair-cloth divans and elab
orate window-draperies—lt will be
comparatively easy to say outright:
'This was purchased for show, not
for use It Is a deliberate endeavor to

purpose. It must be sold "
Even a second-hand dealer's murder,

Two simple principles are worth ob

(1) A room has one central point

furniture should be arranged with this

(2) Simple color schemes are the
best. Curtains, cushions, table covers,

even though your pocket book is not as
heavy a« it might be. Even now, suf
ficient, good looking furniture can be
secured for $l5O. With this expenditure,
however, the chairs are of willow*.
Willow furniture is not to be despised
because It is cheaper than many other
kinds With pretty colored cushions and
hack pads, the chairs are most attractive.
Their lines are usually good and they are
seldom overdecorated I found willow
furniture light, easy to move in cleaning
and very substantial.
1 made the cushions and pads for my
chairs from denim in a soft brown. A
pad and a straight cushion can be made
for 50 cents. This includes the cost of
the cotton used for stuffing as well as the
denim
Another reason why I consider willow
furniture a good investment is that it can
be moved to other rooms of the house, to
the sun parlor and the porch when it is
worn and you have other furniture for

HOW TO KNOW “A

(By Marguerite Edward*.)
On the very day the small feminine
person puts ieide her infantile rompers,
for skirts, rhe sacred insignia of her
sex. she feels springing up in her in
most heart the longing and determina

What is It to "he a lady?"

in the bedroom.
Wicker furniture stained In dark brown
may be found in the shops at the follow
ing prices:
2 straight chairs $18,150
1 rocking chair 10.50
1 deep arm chair 16.50

Ail that is needed besides the settee
and chairs to complete the furnishings of
the living room are a table, rug and cur
tains. A lovely table of American walnut
can be purchased for $27. Such a table
would be worthy of a permanent place in
your home.
Rugs are most expensive now but a
Scotch wool rug in pretty colors would
look well in the informal living room.
A good one will not cost more than S3O.
Scrim curtains launder and make at

all the children of a generation until
they were 12 years old Whether a child
shall be a Mohammedan, a Christian, a
Hebrew, or whatnot depends very large
ly on where and when it happens to be
born.
I knew that mv parents had certain
ideas about what was proper for a
young girl and that posing in an artist's
studio was not one of the things they
would be likely to approve. And so I
had kept it from them. It is the kind
of compromise with truth that all of us
have to make sometimes. I suppose. Thev
were happier not to know, and I was
happy in my work. So why should I tel]
thorn? I think it is the duty of every
body to make all the happiness he can
in the world.
But I did not count on one thing—the
ru-wspriper. I danced at 'a reception and
the newspapers asked for a picture of
me and wrote, a story and it went out
over the country. In the story about my
dancing it mentioned that I had been an
artist’s model. The story was printed
in the paper in the city in Canada where
mv parents live. They saw it and wrote
me, asking me about it.
I was very sad. I thought over the
letter, but 1 could not give up my work.
I knew that I was all right.
I might have written and told about
the Artist's Model Club, of which most
models In New York are members, and
which offers protection to the girls by
looking up the character of artists who
apply to it for models. But I had never
joined this club. beca.use I knew that I
could protect myself, and because I had
no fear
And so I simply wrote and told what
I have tried to tell here, that an artist’s

in her own keeping, and her morals are
what she chooses to make them

MANY MILLIONS TO BE
SPENT ON HIGHWAYS
Ottawa, Canada—Canada expects to
spend $50,000,000 in building good roads
from one end of the Dominion to the
other in the next five years.
The government has included in its
budget an expenditure of $20,000,000 on
highways improvements in that period
on condition that the provinces con
tribute an additional $30,000,000.
The announcement has been made by
the Lnited States Department of Labor
that $765,000,000 in bonds would be is
sued in the United States for highways
improvements. This means that the
United States is preparing to spend
$.,65 per capita of its population in
building good roads. Canada's $50,000,-
000 appropriation would mean $5.65 per
capita. ,
The good roads program in both na
tions will furnish work for thousands
of returned soldiers. Many soldiers,
who served in France, became skillful
in road building and road repairing in
a country famous for its highway.
