WOMEN AND WEMBLEY. THE HOUSE AND THE HOUSEWIFE.

Women at the British Empire Exhibi- tou at Wembley have a chance of study ing all the modern science that industry can offer in producing the Home Beauti

ful.

Notwithstanding their enfranchisement; the woman of to-day is more Absorbed in the problems of the hune than ever he fore. She has less time for political than for domestic.eention. The servant pro- lem is forging housewives to adopt all sorts of tabour saving inventions while paying more attention to the details of housework than used to be, the case. Hand in hand with this enforced dames. ticution, has gone the tendency to make the home me beautiful.

Domestic drudgery is at all times dull and disheartening. Rul the worst its discomforts and monotogies can be got aver with pujer mixlern equipment: the demoralization and weariness that follows can" he rendered loss oppressivee if the homes bemtiful n the surroundings are artistic

The generations that lived in Victorian days enjoyed a freedom from &nancial worries which most of us tight well envy to-day. But that very feredem was ac Companied by a singular tack of rustic Sense in furnishing and decorating the bune. The effect of horse-hair sofas, nntinnenssars, buge gift mirrors, taudry vetantents for walls and staffed parrots, on the mander housewife, who has to spend the best part of her day doing things that have been left undone by a strig, trained daily maid, would be too horrible to contemplate. Linacy of a suicide's end might safely be pre- Fortunately, dicted for such a there has been a rvival of good taste in these matters, a taste which, if it lacks the dignity and restraint of the Georgian period, is at least more cheerful.

Thus there has been brought about a marked stilus to the manufacture of those requirements which at once benu Gify and contribute to the congeniality! of the bone. The industrial centres in the Midland and also da London are studded with factories which are ing out articles of furniture, upholstery, hangings carpets, fleer oil-cloths, wall papers and Britons of real beauty to

eet the growing public demand

An exhibit of these classes of wares laas been propurred by the Furniture and Decorative Textiles Association, Lid., of London, for the British Empire Exhibi tion at Wembley, and is likely to prove of exceptional interest. Hessrs. Turn- bill and Stockdale. For instance, are showing a large collection of decorative fabrics ranging from elaborate hand block printed linens to simple machine printed cretons. One of their designs the Dutch Bouquet"-requires the use of 173 different blocks and 2 dif- ferent colours, and so elaborate and lengthy is the process that only 30 yards! can be completed in a week. This de- sign, and others similar, are based or the paintigs of Van Huysum (born). 1) probably the most famous of all the Dutch decorative painters,

Messrs. W: Lusty & Sons are showing in this seen some of their woren fur niture, which is neither cane or willow, but is of sefbntifically machined fabrik superior to both, which does not creak dr warp. Messrs. Rylands & Sons, Ltd., of Manchester, whose products extend over a wide range of decorative textiles, will show table covers, towels, curtains, beddings, earpets kad miers af other products for the home.

In ninety-nine cases out of a hun- dred the story old not be used for the simple reason that no render could believ the tale and the novelist would be discredi ted as foolish. Every novelist had to be very careful to keep within the strict boundy not only of possibility but of pro bability. In the Ilford murder trial it was stretching, the bounds of probability that Bywaters should have kept Mrs. Thompson's letters despite
