A WORTHY CREED FOR ALL HOME-MAKERS "DEL1EVING in the gospel of good things, I pledge myself to beautify . . and keep beauteous the landscape from my upper window. The four .sides of my habitation shall be without offense to the senses of my neigh bor or the stranger within my sight. The way before my door, my neigh- bor's. door, or the thoroughfare of trade, I will not abuse or put to unwor thy use. In every way consistent with my station and citizenship I will ; encourage tidiness by work and example; I will help to make the country beautiful." r In the plantation home of J. I. Thornton, Eutaw, Ala., we have a fine exam ple of an old Southern residence. The stately . columns, the great trees and the sloping lawn combine to make of this an exceptionally beautiful home. , - , t '::; l-i-5: . " - - " ' - Another example of the pleasing use of vines.
