College Education Costs Women Students $400 Is Miss Corbin's Report
Amount Includes Fees, Books Room, Board, Clothes and Incidental Expenses
Economy is Very Essential
Freshman Year is Most Expensive Because Students Have More Expenses
Four hundred dollars is the absolute minimum of cost of "going to college" for a freshman woman in the University of Kansas, according to figures compiled by Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women. From $400 to $550 seems to be the range for women economically inclined, and
The figures given provide for board and lodging at a standard place, clothing, University fees, books, and other ordinary expenditures. A woman thrensely careful and smart herself might even be under the $400 married but the average more likely to be more than $400, and向着增值于 $500 or $650.
The freshman year is in many ways the most expensive because the student has not yet learned how to get the biggest returns for money; for themmore, the supply of standard garments which one gets in the freshman year can be made by some to last through the four years, such as dresses and raincoats, and of the women here wear their winter coats it least two seasons. If they get a gift one year are not apt to get another year.

Stucco For Walls Makes Good, Cheap Desirable Material
Is Capable of Good Architectura Treatment, Says Prof. Williams
"The biggest argument in favor of stucco as a building material is its cheapness," says Prof. C, C. Williams of the School of Engineering. "It is capable of good architecture. A development over hollow, much cheaper and can be built in less time than one of brick or stone."
The cost will be about the same as for a frame building and has the advantage of much greater fire resistance, as well as less cost for upkeep since stucco does not require paint.
pain.
Another advantage is its durability, if properly applied. Unless it is taken in applying the stucco it will crack badly on touching it on. Moreover, should be kept thoroughly moist several days until the stucco is thoroughly set.
"Stucco is capable of good architectural treatment. The communist finish is the pebble dash. Stucco may be applied by hand or by a cement gun for the finish. The cement mash is a rather expensive tool. We value applying stucco over other surfaces than metal or wood lath. Other finishes may be obtained by brushing or trowelling the surface after the stucco is applied.
"Besides the use for new building, stucco will improve the looks of all most any kind of old building. It will increase the resistance of a frame structure to fire and will save its cost by making further painting more easy; vary in color and finish; mold the outside of the building and the stucco applied. On stone or brick the lath may be fastened or the stucco may be applied direct to the wall."
tru "An example of the value of stucco for fireproofing is its use as a covering for steel pillars in large buildings. The stucco is a poor conductor of heat and will stand a temperature that would soften steel pillars.
Interior Decorations Makes Home Homey
In the color scheme of a room the side walls, furniture, woodwork, and curtains should all be of related colors. The opposite or complimentary colors to give brightness may be introduced in the rugs, frieze, wainscoting, upholstering, pillows, and pictures. But while the woodwork and all furniture is more pleasing if of the same, the whole effect may be held together by having the same tone in all the upholstered and draperies.
In hanging curtains and draperies,
f the room is low the valance line
which lowers the height of the room,
should be avoided. If, however, the
room is high, a valance will lower it.
The glass curtains should cover the
whole window and no draperies should
show from the outside.
Linokum as a floor covering is growing in popularity. Europeans use it to a great extent in all rooms and highly good decorative effects are obtained.
Sometimes the first and last impression of a house is the hall. As a rule there should be little furniture in it. The coat closet, with perhaps a glass door, is more satisfactory than the catch-all hat rack.
The living room should be a rather informal place where the family can really live. A dominant color should be chosen and the room built around it. Comfort and hospitality should be the key note.
When hanging pictures it is best to suspend on two wires. Pictures should be hung so that the center is in line with the eye of an ornament. The center should be put in dark corners, thereby brightening the effect in general.
An absolutely dust proof furnace room is the greatest addition to the modern basement. Basements beneath porches are best for coal bins, since no dust can filter up there the cement is poured in. An insulated home builder has his furnace door open into the porch basement coal bin.
Floors should be no means be lighter than the wall surface. Pure Linenseed oil rubbed in thoroughly makes an excellent treatment for a kitchen floor. It presents an attractive appearance and is easily kept clean.

Real, Livable Porch Makes You Want To Eat Play And Sleep Here
Coziness and Privacy May be Obtained by Climbing
Vines
What's a porch for anyway? To live on. Well, then why not build one that will mallow you to eat, to walk in the shade. A real porch is home in itself.
A real livable porch won't need to be introduced. It will suggest a certain amount of hominess in every corner. Under the top tread of the steps a neatly arranged box for rubbers in both handy and desirable.
The porch that is happily combined with the main body of the house is best. It is made more livable by nearness to the living room. The windows of the room may then be opened and the two combined into ite.
A snappy idea lies in the entrance from the porch into the room adjoining it. Too many times a stumbling threshold spoils the approach. This can be easily avoided by placing a neat piece of metal on the door. This not only saves dust and wet but is by doing away with the old threshold, permit the porch and living room floors to be on the same level.
The details of the porch should follow the same patterns as those suggested in the cornice of the roof or the fireplace in the living room.
The livable summer and winter porch is a dandy union. Plain framework may be thoroughly screened in summer and in which glass saisons may be fitted it is excelsor. The living room is delightful, old-dress, all-the-time living room.
an American. Simple floor is best. It may be furnished with fiber or grass rugs and furnished with plain but substantial pieces of willow which to be striking must be selected so that no two are alike.
A porch is always liveable through its privacy which can be easily obtained by hanging fabric over the glass and hanging fabric and training vines at the framework in summer.
A long, well placed porch, rightly proportioned with proper overhangings and good roof lines gives shelter
and coziness to any plain house. In these fundamentals lie the secret of a homelike porch.
