To Put Color and Beauty Into Thing's of
the Kitchen Is One of Women's
? Future TasRs.
Henry J. Davison Points Out
That We Can Even Get as
Beautiful Pottery as That of
the European Peasants, and
as Cheaply, Whenever Our
Women Are Ready to Demand
It of the Manufacturers.
ai A W??IrA ?? Ju** coming in
/\ its color sense. As a natii
until recently," says Hen
.T. Pavisnn. decorator of the new Ban!
? ra' Club on the top three floors of tl
Equitable Building, "we have not ev?
had the rude delight in color for i
own sake that one finds everywhere i
. the European peasant . . ? the sen;
'hat makes your Russian moujik mo
his field in breeches of scarlet and h;
wife put on petticoats greener tha
grasa.'1
"The failure of American art," sny
Mr, Dnvison, "is in tie paucity of ar
j vaguea in the little things, the chca
an?l common things."
Japanese I'tensils.
"Our cheap things are so unadult
eratedly ugly. Contrast us with Japan
There you see a people aware that lift
matters moment by moment, that it i
j folly to consecrate some hours to love
liness and some to drabness.
"Tho infinite care with which th?
simplest utensils of the humble?1
kitchens are shaped enhances the valu?
of life itself. The appreciative senst
of landscape that is the essence ol
Japanese culture is a thing that ?
people have given to themselves through
the centuries. Kvery detail of their
lives is matter for artful considera?
tion.
"The Japanese make the most ac?
curate distinctions in color of any
people in the world, and they are, too,
of the preciousness of color,
They keep it, as it were, behind dosed
Your sense as you pass '.hrough
the land is of a certain grayi.ess, hut
beneath the black silk kimono is the
color the delicate orange, the mysteri?
ous ruse. Tho kitchen comes before
the garden.
"It is hardly possible to translate
into words the quality of reserve one
in Japan.
"Hut we are on the way to under?
standing, and are learning new ways
?if blending and appreciating color
every day."
ITere Mr. Pavison ran his fingert
I over a bit of upholstery that was in
itself the bond between the blues anrl
reds that made the lounging room n(
i the new Rankers' Club, which he ha?
i decorated, so satisfying, half purple
I twilight and half orange reil after glow,
I and as he ran his hand across the
1 texture of the cloth the successful
j corporation lawyer did disappear in the
: artist. He did love that cloth, and
there was insight and not tart opinion
in the determined exposition he made
1 of why he hud chosen it as a peace
bringing background to money making
| bankers when lunch in the brown and
j blue grill was over.
Too Many Windows
"When the women of America are
: ready to insist upon it, American manu
i facturcrs will furnish, cheaply, as dec
; orative crockery as the little hand pot
i feries of Rohemia and Ravaria. There
is no need to eat eternally off henvy
' stone gray dishes if a demand for
j something else makes itself felt. It
is all part of democratic pace. We are
all preparing to live at the top, and
i so much of what art we patronize as
1 we go along is not built on the true
I principles of fitness and what adds
peace and beauty to our own lives, but
is imitative of other tastes with other
purposes and quite oth?-r means of
gratification.
"We live, too, in an age of mechani?
cally perfect .-tandardization. and our
best efforts have bee , to produce a
flawless article." He tapped a plate,
made in N'ew Jersey, certainly the most
evenly transparent porcelain in the
world, from a factory that boasts that
it never turned out a "second." "Pres?
ently we shall come to an age when we
bend our whole effort on cheapening
i lovely things."
Poor Mr. Iinvison has a grudge on the
side. He says that .-\mericans are not
rational about windows. In an effort
to get away from having too few he
says we are mad about having too
? many, and he flings a distressed gesture
'toward the number of windows in the
Bankers' Club.
"Dwellers in the great cities of
America," he says, "are wearing out
their nerves becau-e of eye and ear

HlEALTrl AND SODA WATER
- -^--?-IIO< 'I.ATE or vanilla?" do
I mands the village ice crean
soda clerk, before his tw<
sticky glass jars.
"The menu, madam," softly whispers
your waitress at Tuyler's, handing you
a long gilt list of ice cream -sodas in
every language.
But whether it's College Corner
Iowa, or Fifth Avenue, New York City,
ice cream soda is the great national
drink grape juice advertisement: not?
withstanding. And not only the great
national drink, but the great American
summer sport, imloor or outdoor, to
order. Have you *i-x-n the ice cream
soda fans rushing around town, on
other business bent, perhaps, but
drinking as they go? From Bowery to
Bronx, this huge army, trooping to the
throne of nickel and marble, where for
6 cents, .1 nickel, one-twentieth part of
a dollar, they are provided with civili?
zation's choicest luxury, the cup that
cheers them on.
And now, just by way of a hot
weather puzzle, how much ice cream
soda do you suppose the people of New
York consume in one ?lay'.' Don't think
in terms of glasses, for there are all
sizes, and the ti?ure comes in quarts,
anyway. And that figure, extracted
from the food division of the city
Health Department, who can only esti?
mate comparatively with the consump?
tion of milk, mounts the dizzy height
of 2,'JOO.O?)?) quarts a day i;,200,000
quarts of Ass and foam and syrupy
water leave the light of day and con?
tribute their mite toward making the
summer tolerable to a few million peo?
ple. Let's see; how much money is
that? Twenty-two thousand dollars! A
neat little sum for the hokey-pokey
man and the drug stores. Long will
they prosper.
Now enterprising people have often
tried t? make their own ice cream soda;
perhaps you yourself have mixed up
snow and flavoring, or ice cream and
fruit juice, or milk and strawberries, or
some such thing and sitting on kitchen
tables have tried to look ecstatic over
the cheap and delicious substitute.
But later in the evening comes an ex?
pedition to the corner drug store
where the man in white squirts and
mixes and shakes and pours until a
beautiful admixture is presented with
a flourish and your nice silver dime is
ease,! away from you. So for that rea?
son you just decide to your own soul
that home made soda water is a delu?
sion, even if the purchased drink is a
snare to keep you constantly out of
change. And you don't try the sub?
stitute stunt again until the next
year.
Soda water as an institution carries
manv a sigh and a smile and a tear
with it. Lovers keep their trv?t over
its brimming foam; well-intentioned

STOP A BIT AND REMEMBER
WISTFUL FRESH AIR LAD
Youngsters Eager to Go, Reservations Made, Every?
thing Ready but Money?Special Plea
to Vacationists for Help.
This is to tie a string around voi
ti nger.
There is something you've forgot I
do, although you have been remind?
several times. It's getting near t?
last chance now, so don't lose th
string.
No, it wasn't, to write to engat*
rooms at the Mountain Teak Hon.?
for your vacation. It wasn't to mal?
Pullman reservations for the joirne
thither.
Not your vacation, but another fe
low's hangs by the string.
You didn't forget to lay all plans fo
yours long ago. You had the date
fixed last May. Railroad tickets an
Pullman reservations you had a wee
before the :ime came around.
Maybe now you're back again fror
yours with ten pounds of health am
fun spread upon you and a world o
energy instilled into your going anpa
ratus. Maybe you are off next Satur
day. Good luck to you.
N"o need of string to tie your owi
vacation to your memory, be it past o:
future.
Johnny Fresh Air is the lad whos?
vacation arrangements you are to re
member to make. Of course, you ar<
interested in the little chap's outinj
and want him to have it. Rut you keet
forgetting that you've a share in get?
ting it for him.
Johnny can't pay for his own outing
?you know that. If he could he would
not belong to the Fresh Air family.
You are supposed to help pay for it.
Sure, you did last year.
Now, since you know that the vaca?
tion season's getting short and that the
school which Johnny attends will soon
be calling him with a voice he must
obey, keep this string on vour finger
until you've done what you've intended
to do all summer.
Keep it there till you've drawn your
check, bought a money order or put a
bill in an envelope and mailed it to
Johnny in care of The Tribune Fresh
Air Fund, The Tribune. New York the
organization which acts as summer
guardian to Johnny.
Johnny's and his sister Susie's, too
hotel reservation is all made, and he
has his train and his day picked out.
Rut, as experience has taught you. the
hardest part is yet to be accomplished
the piper has to be paid. Being an
honest and a fores ighted chap. Johnny
isn't going to set out until he knows
be will be able to meet the piper's bills
when presented.
How about it Johnny's own exuree
sion does he go or not? You've ?few
days left in which to decide, but only a
few.
Two lots of the Fresh Air family
were stsrted for the country yesUr
day. Thirty-flve sisters of the bous*
went to the .N'orth Shore Holiday House
for a two weeks' stay. If you listen
you can almost hear their ihouta of
joy this morning, slthough they are
thirty-five miles awav in Huntington.
Long Island. Twenty-five others went
to Kim Cottage, at Fairfield. Conn., for
a twelve days' stay.
To-day another hundred members of
the family go out. These sre sll sis?
ters, too. Fifty of them go to Happy
Land pleasant omen at Tensfly,

Closing the
August
Furniture Sale
with Halt Price Offerings
This is our method of disposing of our odd
pieces of furniture, single suites, discontinued
patterns and samples not to be replaced in our
regular stocks.
It is an annual custom, with due notice to
the public.
Half-price means half the regular, standard,
normal fixed Wanamaker price; we never make
comparisons on any other basis.
All varieties of furniture are included in the
half-price offering. All woods are represented.
All rooms are provided for. At least several hun?
dred pieces and suites totaling upward of $ 100,000
are ready now at half-price.
A Remarkable Ending
of a Remarkable aSale
That is just what this half-price offering is?
a remarkable ending of a remarkable sale.
The August Sale itself is remarkable because
of its extraordinary low prices for the values given
in face of a rising market ; because of the large and
increasing attendance of buyers during the month;
because of the large daily sales?each days sales
without exception greatly exceeding those of a
year ago.
The ending of the sale is remarkable because
it offers half prices for grades of furniture that
cannot be duplicated to sell again at double the
figures. Everything entering into the cost of fur?
niture?wood, hardware, wages?is now at a
higher level and future retail prices must therefore
be higher.
Only FOUR Days Remain
Four days in which to secure the half-price
furniture.
Four days in which to choose from our entire
regular stock at reductions of I 0 to 50 per cent.
FOUR DAYS?Today and tomorrow of this
week, Monday and Tuesday of next week. Sale
closes absolutely the last day of August. On
September I, all furniture prices are restored to
normal.
