WELL enough to select your new summer frocks according

to the modes of the hour! But what of the fabrics of which these frocks shall be made? They must be fashionable, too-the fabrics of the season in their loveliest guises of colors and patterns. The fabrics you will want are the distinctively beautiful and "different" ones that are to be found at McCutcheon's.

Fabrics for Frocks that follow draped lines

Here you have hand-weaves of gossamer fineness, studded with little dots or squares or circles or buds. You call them Dotted Swisses. Sometimes they are all White-sometimes colored, with self-shaded or contrasting motifs. They come 31 ins. wide and are priced $1.25 to $2.00 yard. Then there are special importations of Japanese Crepes, as bold as you like in design and coloring, or as subdued. The width is 30 in. and the price 50c to 75c. And Woven Tissues-in perfect fantasies of checks and stripes and novelty effects, 32 and 36 in. wide, 75c yard.

Fabrics for Frocks of the bouffant modes

Crisp lovely Dimities, in all the new, plain shades. Candy striped; powdered with tiny dots, too! 32 in. wide, 65c yard.

And delightful English Prints, 55c yard; English Sateens, $1.25 yard; and French Challis, $1.25 yard; daringly vivid or very demure. Showers of squares, circles, regular and broken designs, and charming foulard patterns.

And then besides

Ever popular Ginghams and Linens! Ginghams are very much a la mode, this year. At McCutcheon's there are so many novel weaves and designs that you can have your gingham frock and still know that it is quite different. 32 in. wide, 75c, $1.00 and $1.25 yard.

BELIEVER IN HAPPINESS," together with the article by her published

in The Outlook last week, is included in Mrs. L. H. Hammond's book entitled "In the Vanguard of the Race," to be published by The Council of Women for Home Missions and the Missionary Education Movement. Mrs. Hammond was born of Southern parents, both slave-holders before the war, and inherited from her mother her interest in the Negroes and her sense of responsi bility for them. She was one of a small group who organized the Southern Methodist women for home mission work. This Home Mission Board was a pioneer in social work: it had the first visiting nurse in the South, the first free clinic, the first settlement, and one of the first industrial schools for moun tain people. The "Southern Workman." published at Hampton Institute, Virginia, says of Mrs. Hammond's service:

Mrs. Hammond believes that ... white people and colored people can and will co-operate more and more freely; and that interracial good will can be cultivated. Mrs. Hammond lives even better than she speaks or writes.

Illustrating a Good and
a Faulty Method of Framing
Around Window Openings

THE above drawings illustrate a

good and a faulty method of framing around window openings. This is one of the points discussed in "The High Cost of Cheap Construction," mentioned in the opposite columns.

The framing around window openings (Point 1) should always be double to insure greater strength and to permit better nailing of outside sheathing, siding, casings and interior trim.

Careful fitting of lumber at Point 2 and caulking or packing between lower header and sill with a substance such as mineral wool will prevent much leakage of heat in winter.

The side jambs of the window frame should be braced at Point 3 to hold them securely in alignment.

"The High Cost of Cheap Construction" will be mailed free, on request. It is another evidence of the policy of this organization to have every foot of lumber it sells deliver 100% service.

How Can a

Home-Builder Be Sure of a Good Job?

IGHT in your neighborhood in his craft and would rather deknow a dozen liver a good job at a fair profit you perhaps know a dozen houses that you wouldn't pro- than a poor job at an unfair profit. nounce first class.

Probably what you've heard about them originated in the unguarded remarks of the owners themselves.

Ample money was spent. But why so many repairs-why creaking stairs, sagging floors, draughty windows, cracking plaster, excessive fuel bills, and other ills?

Somebody is responsible.

THE

HE fault lies not in the lumber-but in the way the lumber is used. First cost, the only consideration, where thoroughness of construction and the right use of materials mean ultimate economy and life-long satisfaction.

This demand for "cheap" houses has forced the legitimate contractor-the man who knows good materials and how to use them-to bid against construction practices that every honest craftsman condemns.

PROFITING by the mis

takes of their neighbors, home-builders today are demanding better-built houses. How can they be sure of getting them?

We say, go to a legitimate contractor-one who takes a pride

You will find these men, more and more, using lumber of the Weyerhaeuser standard of quality-trade-marked with the manufacturer's pledge of personal responsibility.

YOU will find, too, that retail lumber dealers are proud of their stocks of Weyerhaeuser lumber, and glad to assist in selecting from the ten different kinds of lumber offered by Weyerhaeuser those kinds and grades best adapted to the varying requirements of house building.

Just why Weyerhaeuser is backing the legitimate contractor, and how to tell a legitimate contractor by his knowledge of lumber and by his observance of approved construction practices in the building of houses, is contained in "The High Cost of Cheap Construction," a booklet mailed free on request. Ask also for "Good Houses."

Weyerhaeuser Forest Products are distributed through the

established trade channels (to

contractors and home-builders through the retail lumber yards) by the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, Spokane, Washington, with branch offices and representatives throughout the country.

The Mind in the Making

By James Harvey Robinson

H. G. Wells in the N. Y. Times: "For me, I think James Harvey Robinson is going to be almost as important as was Huxley in my adolescence and William James in later years. He takes much that was latent and crude in my mind and gives it texture and form and confidence. The book has had the effect of illuminating me not only at its point of application, but all along the line of my curiosities. . . . It is a cardinal book." $2.50

Working with the Working
Woman

By Cornelia Stratton Parker

The author of An American Idyll actually "worked with the working woman." She wanted to portray the daily life of the factory worker as nearly as possible as seen through the average worker's own eyes. The result is this dramatic and amusing story of women in American industry. It is not propaganda, not superficial investigation; just the plain truth about the plain girl, written by a woman who has learned how to understand. Philadelphia Ledger: "Much originality and humor. . . . As good reading as any novel of the day."

The Life of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton

Her opinions on woman's property rights in marriage, on what children really owe their parents, and a fascinating variety of other subjects will be read with greatest interest today.

The History of Art

By Eli Faure

Vol. 1. Ancient Art. Translated from the French by Walter Pach Thomas Jewell Craven writing in the Dial calls it: "The most interesting and seductive history of the subject that has yet appeared. His pages gleam with brilliant images. . . . M. Faure's book is most distinguished. He converts archæology into impassioned imagery, and his narrative gifts are remarkable." N. Y. Herald: "His 'History of Art' might be called history tested by art or history proved by art, for always he sees the poets and artists writing and painting unconsciously in larger figures than they knowthe true historians of the world."

Gardening with Brains

$6.00

By Henry T. Finck

A book that gives all the facts about gardening and makes delightful reading besides. Plenty of garden books give all the facts-for reference. But this volume is for consecutive pleasant reading. It bears the same relation to the usual garden book of dry facts and statistics that the historical novel does to the histories. The result of the author's fifty years' experience in his own garden. Luther Burbank calls its chapters: "The best that have so far been written on garden subjects. You get at the facts in such a way that they are irresistible."

Lost Valley By Katharine Fullerton Gerould

N. Y. Sun: "Katharine Fullerton Gerould's first novel may well be regarded as a literary event. . . . An interesting departure from her recent work, yet thoroughly characteristic. . . . The book has mood as well as motion and richness of invention."
