Ft'll frnl!l tht' harsh and f,ri/1/,· l·riw· Signs · and Symptonts S The Passing Attic O NCE the attic was a thing to . be regarded with pride ·and joy, particular ly by young people who found there a never ending source of supply for old fashioned costumes. But that timr is passing, and rapidly, because of tw,o considerations. l\lodern hon1es have little room for storage uf out-worn and discarded possessions. Space is needed for other purposes, for things that enter into the everyday life of the household. But chiefly the attic and its c,ontents are growing in dis fa Yor because of the n1odern avenues hy which garments and household articles no longer needful may find a way into service in , ome other family. le . s \\'ell supplied with ,,·o rldly goods. The Economy Shop in \\'ilmette, and such institutions elsewhere haYe turned the attic into a thing of the past. Hy :tocking a shop with the contents of tore rooms and clothespresses of the n1ore furtuna te, these institutions have supplied a ·long felt want. But the stock of such institution s depends upon the contributions made by the people of the community, depends upon the TCNS and symptom . are never lacking 1o ~how thr ~rood qnalitics of the commnnitics lying- along- the north shore. \Yhatever serves the \\'elfarc of the people is ·sur e to he among- the 11 ('\\" deve lopmcnt . in t h esc progressive municipalities. One of these sirrns is the proposition that will appear on the ballot s in \\'i lm e ttc in the approaching- villag-e clrction to provide for a tax bv whirh directed plav and other recreational facilities may be -brought to the children at)d the young people of the village. Tn \Vinnrtka there i. a plan beingentertained to e-=tahlish a municipal band. and that proposition will be presented to the voters in the coming election. Both enterprises are eminently worth while. and each will contribute to the home facilities for the amusement of the young people, as well as of those who are a little older. V\ 7hatever brings people tog-ether for a community purpose is contributory to the good of the village. Children who gr.o w up with an apnreciation of the community play ccn ters will cleve lop into men and women with a sense of obligation to each other, and to· the community. 1fen who gather tog-ether regularly to practice as a municipal band and occasionally for concerts will develop a sense of comradeship that would not be established under other conditions. A very small tax will provide hoth these advantages for the people who are to vote on the propositions. And ml o ney spent for caring for the leisure hours, both of children and adults, is money well spent. ll'ht'll carf.h bcyins to breath,· ayain .·lnd flm;·crs s!zo·w 'i.~.'lrcrr drifts ·Jw'i'C htil1 , lVhtn 0 11 the harrrn spots arc sa11 .Histy <·cils of tender green It ·hilt here aud there the S1VJ'w-drifts cliug1 thank the J.ord aqain for Spring! - H.
