Often the builder is confronted with the demand that he 5s expected to bnlid a home of ample accommodations for a medium sized family, that It be attractive and pleasing In appeii ranee and yet Its cost shall be SRpderate. lNow that may seem like quite a large order to fill. Bat there are sach 4 And there is a bad closet In this no the three bedrooms have the accommodations ot an extra bed wbn necessity arises. While the living room la only 14 by 17 feet it is connected with the fai#' sized dining room by glass doors art the rooms may be used In conjunct tion and nnewer the purpoee of one large, living room. While compact, the three bedroom* are large enough tor the use Intended! nnd are well located in relation to the bathroom. There is a convenient back porch and the kitchen la designed on those compact lines which save steps and time for the busy housewife. Note how well lighted all the rooms lire. Besides the glass doors, in the living room there are two small windows at either side of the spacious fireplace. In the dining room the architect has arranged three windows of such size and length that they admit an abundance of cheerful light. The kitchen has two windows and two of the bedrooms have two window* while the front bedroom has the added advantage of a third window. While exact figures wii! have to be obtained from the local dealer, prices varying In different localities, It can be generally stated that this deslggi Oan be bcilt at moderate expense*. <?y/W/<3»HAM BCWCR won m mi-- • Daddy, Laws of the Soul.

Of course, only, a** certain number ronld go at a time, for there would not be room all at the same time for the crowd* and crowds of people who wanted to go up to the top. And so the people were all about the monument In a line. Sometimes they would look tip the side of the monument to the top. And it would almost seem as though i the monument were moving and were standing sideways. For the height was so great that to look straight up at It made one feel rather dizzy and uncertain. "The people Would, before long, go Inside the monument. There they would take a great elevator and go up to the very top, and at the top they would look from out little windows and see below and far ant to each side. * "Some people would perhaps walk up the many, many, many stairs and reach the top of the monument that way, but most of them would take the elevator. It was what I did," Daddy chuckled. "From out these windows the people below looked very strange and small. They were like so many little ants walking about, to their work and their play. The trolley cat* looked like small bugs and everything had a quite different look. As I've Mid the people were all waiting to get into the monument so they could go up and see the view from the top and also so they could say that they had been to the top of the monument, for It was quite a thing to add that to one's list of things seen. All day the people came and stood In line and finally got up to the top. All day, and every day, for the monument was always there and people from all over came to visit It. They were sure thatthey would find It at home. There was no danger of the monument being out shopping such all there would fee If they went to call on some of their friends. "To be sure the monument was out --or rather the outside of it was out, but it didn't go off wandering. And between the hours of the morning and late afternoon it wus 'at home' to visitors. "But as I also told yon, there were many birds flying about over it. " 'Well, well, well,' said one bird as he swooped up and down and soared high athd then came down rather low, 'It Is so funny to think of the people taking that elevator Inside. "'Why don't they fly up to see the view? It is very puzzling to think of them taking that strange thing inside which tarings them up; to the • top so that they poke forth their heads out of windows to see the sights up here. " TKey should get a pair of wings apiece, for I've noticed they haven't [wings with them. " 'Yes, the idea of c o rt i n g up here so foolishly in that thing they call the elevator P said another bird. | " Tlwy h*yj» to wait so long,' I " II jftiimii Mfrmii MUftii > III nHl 1 M Wll II In A*j|pvi's Formal Suits; Assured Styles in .t' 0 HftM I HE n II v IS IT the longer skirt (kit has turned suits Into pdths thit lead to dignity and distinction, or d«ttf tfae cause lie as far back as the reaction that brought In the longer skirt? Anyway a change of fashion's mood appears everywhere, in 111 sorts of apparel, and It is a change that leads away from vagaries and flippancy and toward beauty and grace. Women have cause to rejoice In this rejection of sensational clothe*. The procession of suits leads off, naturally, with the strictly tailored and ! mannish type* that are tf turbans. Only time will tell WfWthOr the extremely 'large hat will fuslro a triumph here or not, but that materials and trimmings will be rich and brilliant, whatever the shapes and sizes may be, is already assured. Many of the wide-brimmed French hats lift at one side and droop at the other, and some of them are round as a cartwheel. Lyons velvet, panne and hatters' plush cover the larger shapes, in which beauty of, line ts stressed. New trimmings are distinctive and fine, with many Impressive novelties in plumage, made to surmount these wide « * U m* •: • i 1 " S': - ^ TWO VEHY DRESSY GARMENTS worn day in and day oat; the utility suits in which American tailors excel. They havo charms cf their own--neatness, fine lines, marvelous tailoring. For them English suitings, heather mixtures, poiret and other twills and serge are chosen. Their skirts are plain, just wide enough for comfort in walking, and hang in straight lines. Their coats vary In length and are occasionally bra id-trimmed, but usually plain and have notched lapels, patch pockets, small collars and plain coat sleeves with narrow cuffs. This dressier suits cannot be dia- .posed of In general terms for they differ greatly. The cloths chosen for them are those with soft and supple texture and velvety surface like duvetine or velours. Embroideries, furs, ornaments, buttons and tassels are elements that are skillfully used to elaborate the rich materials and there are many suits that include a dress and a coat instead of a skirt and coat. Velours appears in the handsome suit •hown at the left of the two formal VKXk^S It « trimming of e el'&aU hats. Spanish and- radium laces, in black, gray, sand, brown and some navy are scheduled for leading role* in the drama of picturesque millinery, but the paramount novelties of millinery are the ornaments made of silver, aluminum and steel. Metal cloths bear out the trend of popular taste toward thlngB that are brilliant; they harmonize with the rich fabrics. The style points of the new season are apparent In the group of new fall models Illustrated. It begins with a large hat with brlip upturned at the front and faced with velvet, the hat covered with silver and black metal cloth. Burnt goose drips over the brim all around, veiling the eyes and falling over the back. The pretty round hat at the left Is made of dark velvet and trimmed with hand-made velvet flowers having metallic millinery centers. It affords a chance for many good color combinations.

FRUITS AND OTHER DISHES Pears In Grape Juics.--Boll together two quarts of grape Juice and two pounds of sugar until thick; It will be reduced by half by this time; add enough fine pears, pared, Cored and cut In quarters to fill the kettle, and are baxeij covered with the sfrup. Continue cooking until the pears are perfectly soft and the whole mixture is reduced in bulk. Fill into sterile jars, put on lids without clamping and place on paper on a rack in a baking pan. Allow them to remain in hot oven until the oven Is cooled off. Then tighten the Jars and store for winter use. Orange and % Raspberry . Nectar,-- Squeeze tile Jtiice frofn sit. oranges, mix with the pressed-out juice from a pint of canned raspberries.

Strain, cool and add the fruit juice. When cold set into the ice chest. Dilute with equal volume of Iced water. Fill tall glasses and add ginger ale to each. Garnish with a few fresh berries if at hand. Hungarian Roast Beef.--Select -a five-pound rib roast. Have the bones removed and the roast rolled. Wipe well with a damp cloth. Place a layer of suet in a baking pan with two dices of onion. Place the roast on theso after dredging well with flour. Cover the top of the mat with sliced onion. Place three or four sli^fes of bacon on top and place In the oven, adding a tablespoonful of hot water. Baste from the fat in the pan every 15 minutes. Roasts 20 minutes to the pound. \ / Peach Sauce fof Its Cream.--Peel and crush very ripe peaches, put them through a sieve to be sure they are fine, then add an equal amount of sugar.

If; they'd get wings they'd just fly up here and see everything they Wanted tQ, and I should ftilnk that in All places where there are monuments of height and of Importance they'd sell wihgs. " 'It's very puzzling that they do it in this slow fashion,' said yet another bird who was flying about. 'You'd think tliat they'd be smarter.' " 'Well,' the first bird said, 1 suppose they can't help it, though it is puzzling that they wouldn't think of getting up here more quickly than by that silly, silly old elevator. I'm glad I don't have to use It 1'" Eaeitemefit Adds to Weight Strain. To insure a margin of safety, a grandstand designed to accommodate 14,000 people weighing approximately 000 tons, must be strong enough to (Mpport a weight of at least 1,700 tons. Tfce reason for this is that when people are excited and jump about they weigh twice as much as when sitting still. A man crouching adds about 65 per cent to his weight In suddenly straightening himself up; rising from a sitting position adds about 80 per cent, and It is possible, by rising with a sudden jerk, to momentarily add over 150 per cent of the strain of one's weight. As people on a grandstand witnessing games, or other exciting spedcannot be relied upon to Hit StBi. the stand must be prepared to bpift double ttielr weight, thus aliowM| j| to rise or sway la iigliijaent without causing the collapse. ere to Store Coal. stored In a 0jqr, airy better, and with if placed in a FOLIAR, Indian Burial PiaosS; Preeerv«d., It is said that all the graveyanH used by the first white settlers were old Indian burial plafo; which had been used by the aborigines for that purpose from time immemorial. Where these Indian burial pla<^s were on the homesteads of settlers they respected these graves and they were never di» turbed. The whites continued to use them as burial place* for their fam. ilies and slaves. It was a custom in the early days to bury slaves beside their masters, and a certain portion of the family plot was reserved for their use. The colonists in continuing to use these aboriginal burial places rendered this country a signal service in preserving from oblivion the last resting place* of ft vanished rao*. Fast Travelers in Air. TlM swallows are very graceful birds' and are exceedingly swift fliers, They feed on Insects which they catch on the wing. There are five native swallows which are common--the eat* or cliff, the barn, the bank, the tree swallow and the nnrnle martin. ,j.v« , O t h e r T h i n g s Spread.

There was a long silence. "Can no boy tell me?" asked the inspector. Again silence. "Well, I will tell you. An epidemic Is anything that spreads. Now, give me an example of an epidemic." They had It this time. "Jam, sir!" shouted the class, in chorus.--Answers. ' * «5- QROUP OF FALL HAfB Braid embroidery on the coat and skirt | and gray caracul fur in the collar and deep cuffs.

U?he day has gone when middle-aged women felt they must wear gray and mauve and the quieter colors. As s matter of fact, middle-aged women usually look better In bright shades. Realizing this, the shops are now of* fering rose and delicate pink, bright blues and henna, all Intended for the woman, who is no longer young. The only shades she ought to regard with apprehension are yellow, though not cream and green. Even this Is by no , 1 , . ^ V y, "The person who spends most of his 'time grumbling Is a self-confessed failure. If things are always wrong with you it is your fault. Don't waste time and energy in proclaiming the facts. Put them right." A COLLECTION OF GOOD CAKE8 A good cake of whatever kind is a culinary achievement. If a sponge cake, it should be light, tender of texture and fine of grain; if a butter cake, the grain is finer, the texture more tender and the whole well baked. Staking is as important as the mixing; a failure in cither will ruin the best of materials. Crumb Cake. -- Take two .and one-half cupfuls of flour, add one and one-half cupfuls of sugar, onehalf cupful of butter, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt. Add one teaspponful each of cinnamon, nutmeg - and cloves; when well mixed take out a upful of the flour mixture, and to the remainder add two well-beaten eggs, one cupful of sour milk and one teaspoonful of sodp. Beat well and put Into a deep tin to hake. Sprinkle the reserved cupful over the top and bake in a moderate oven. Nut Cake.--Take a pound of butter, soften by heat until creamy but not melted, add one and one-half pounds of light brown sugar, ten whole eggs, one pound each of flour and raisins, one-fourth of a pound of citron cut in strips, one pound of nut meats, one grated nutmeg and one-half glass of orange juice. Mix and bake as usual. Prune Cake.--Cream a tablespoon ful of butter with four tablespoonfuls of sugar, add the grated rind of a lemon and one beaten egg, well mixed Add one cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder and a quarter of a cupful of milk.
