This Is the sort of a house which makes one feel instantly at home, for it possesses ill of those friendly qualities that we 26 0- rwjP DINING XM.

Its roof lines are graceful and when surrounded by flowers, shrubs and lawn it makes a place that anyone will be proud to call his home. This house Is only 26 feet wide and 28 feet deep, yet it contains six rooms and bath. It has a living room which extends the entire width of the house -at the front; a dining room 11 feet by 14 feet 0 inches which Is connected with the living room by a double cased opening and a kitchen 9 feet by 14 feet 6 inches.

The popular belief that baby chicks should be starved for the first 48 or 72 hours to prevent bowel trouble has jBnally given yray to scientific knowledge. It is now known that early feeding is not harmful. However, neither does delayed feeding seem to be harmful. Experiments conducted by Burt W. Heywang and Dr. M. A. Jull, poultry Specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, to determine the effect of early feeding on the absorption of the egg yolk which Is usually present in the body of the chick when hatched, show that early feeding actually tends to stimulate slightly the rate of yolk assimilation. Feeding scratch grain caused more rapid assimilation than feeding mash. As a result of these experiments. Doctor Jull points out, poultry raisers now have unbiased facts to guide them in the management of baby chicks. Under normal conditions the best thing to do Is feed them early, if there is some special reason for withholding food for the first two or three days, this can be done without running the risk of stunting the chicks. Baby chicks shipped by parcel post or by express probably should not be fed before being shipped, Doctor Jull says. Second Floor Plan; into one end of the living room and St this same end is an open stair leading to the second floor. The stairs end in a square hall off which opens the three bedrooms and the bathroom. This house might be termed a dutch colonial as it has a wide dormer in the second floor which indicates the dutch colonial. The multiplicity of windows both at the front, at the back and at both ends of- the home give It plenty of light and ventilation. It is of frame construction with wide clapboard siding and is set on a concrete foundation which makes a basement of the same dimensions as the house. Brick pillars on which .are set columns which hold the porch roof, and the brick outside fireplace are features which add to the attractiveness of the exterior of this home. Blackhead Evaded by Keeping Poults Alone 9(1® prevent blackhead Infection In jrronfc turkeys, they should not have chicken or turkey hens as mothers. Even though turkeys are put on a clean range, not infested with blackhead, it is likely that they will get tho disease from the mother hen, says J. B. Hayes, University of Wisconsin. The practice may be avoided by using a new brooder stove for incubator hatched turkeys. A clean range is also necessary, but old birds should not run with the young turkeys, according to Hayes. By adhering to a strict sanitation program of this kind, Hayes says that blackhead can be evaded, and there should be no more trouble with turkeys than with young chicks.

VflSS SADIE GILROY of the hand- * kerchiefs, leaned confidentially toward her friend on the next stock. "Ethel," was what she said. Ethel Martin thrust the last box of hosiery into Its nook In the shelf, and dreW nearer to the handkerchief counter. "Huh?" she Inquired. "Have you seen the new floorwalker?" asked Sadie. "Yep." I i . "What's his nnmeT" ^ "Hooney," said Sadfo, «lB west back to wait on a customer. Ethel Martin cast a long look at the profile view of Mr. Hooney, the new floorwalker, who was standing nearby. Hd was tall--his hair was red and lay In thick, glossy waves on his massive forehead. "I guess I know why they picked Hooney for this Job,** thought EtheL "He's handy--people will find it easy to say: 'Oh, the redheaded floorwalker told me so and so." I guess Sadie likes him. too. Wonder If she wll! change her mlndT* Sadie Gilroy was one of the prettiest girls In the large department store, but she had always been coofl to masculine attention. Perhaps It was because ber father shot himself to death and because her mother had worked herself almost to death to bring up her one child. Sadie. Sadie and Ethel kept house together. In a tiny apartment. Every morning at half-past eight they repoi»«J for duty at the midtown store, where they held adjoining positions. They were both clerks and were well regarded by their associates. Once Sritiie bad expounded her views upon marriage, and since then all tfce young men had fought shy of her, but she didn't care "He's the first one she's been Interested la," thought Ethel. 'Til sure give her a boost if 1 get a'chance. As for me. no red-heads, thank yon! Tve got temper enough for two!" It was about this time that Ned Wayne la the Shoe department became enamoured of Ethel's fair beauty. and Sfdte found herself often alone. Then, one day, Mr. Hooney -paused at Sadie's counter and looked at the girl's soft dark hair, her brown eyes and her pretty face. He noted that her black frock was without a speck of dust and thai her white collar and cuffs were spotless and dainty. "Some girl, that!" Mr. Hooney said to himself, hut to Radio he mnrmured: : "Warm?" / "It ts Wtfm agreed Sad!*. "Bet It's cool at the beaches," offered Ur. Hooney with a hint In his voice. "it must Mb" sighed Sadie wistfully. "Want to go to Coney tonight Y* he asked, preparing to leave. "I'd love to," said Sadie, surprising herself. Months went by. Saturdays and Sundays at the beaches and evenings at a show were a regular thing, and sometimes the four of them played csrds In the little flat. One day there came a fearful smashop when Mr. Hooney asked Ssdle to marry him, and she, thinking ovef* much of the past, told Mr. Hooney that It was against her principle to love any man. Another day. when It was raining, a small mousey little woman came In, peering this way and that, and paused at the handkerchief counter with In* quiring eyes. She spoke to 8adie Gil* roy. "Please, miss. I've heard tbere't a red-headed man got a fine Job here --do yoo know him?" "Around In the next aisle you will find the floorwalker," said Sadie. "Of course I knew he was no good--bet you she's his wife," thought Sadia "Well, It's worse than 1 thought P Just then she saw the majestic figure of Michael Hooney standing aloof within sight of the handkerchief, counter. The little mousey woman must have missed him. for she crept past Sadie again and then ab^ ran plump into Mr. Hooney. " 'Umph I" grunted Mr. Hooney, unexpectedly. With a shrill bleat of fear, the Ut> tie woman humbly apologised. Then, suddenly, the little woman saw Mr. Hoone.v's bright head. "Are you the floorwalker, sir?" she gasped. • "Yes," admitted Mr. Hooney, bow* Ing low. "What can I do for you, maddum?" "Well, you're not the red head that Tm looking for--he's not quite so tall --my head just reaches his b-heart." And she went scutterlng out of the side door. As she went, Sadie Gilroy lifted her sweet voice b> a grave,' though quavering, call: "Floorwalker 1 Mr. Hooney, please!" It was the noon hour and ft happend that there were no customers at the handkerchief counter. Mr. Hooney came. "Yes?" be said Icily. "If you would just look at this, Mr, Hooney," murmured Miss Gilroy. Mr. Hooney leaned majestically against the counter and bent his re<^ head over the slip of paper. "I anv so sorry," ne read. "Please forgive* me. May I say 'yes?"" : Mr. Hooney smiled. *711 wait for jpi tonight," he said.

ABSENCE AND AFFECTION "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." the poet said, and when we repeat 4he lines we generally have in mind young l o v e r s whom chance or duty or some other Influence has for a time kept apart It Is possibly true of those sentimentally draws to each other, but a poet sees into the inner workings of the emotions more deeply than do ordinary men, and I am sure he had in mind other people and other situations, than mere youth falling In love. Absence gives us time to think out the meaning of scenes and relationships which before, perhaps, we have never bad time to realize the meaning or the Importance of. It might be a good thing for all of us if for a time we could get away from the people with whom we are In dally relationship, or the business or the scenes which may have become ty> us quite commonplace. Mrs. Gray goes off by herself at least once a year and leaves her husband to look after himself. There Is nothing sinister in this, nothing which indicates domestic irregularity or discontent. The Grays are really very devoted to each other, but sitting across the table from each other three times a day for at least twenty-eight days ln> the month, there develops In time monotony. Mrs. Gray wants a change; she likes, for a week or two, to plan her own affairs, to be by herself, to think her own thoughts. She comes back refreshed, stimulated, more in love ^wltli her home and her husband than she has ever been before. She says that husbands and wives and children sometimes see too much of each other and so grow tired each of the other. Maybe there ts something in it. One never so fully appreciates his own country until he has visited another and has seen the conditions under which citizens of other lands exist. The man who comes Into New York harbor from a trip abroad and does not feel a thrill of happiness and appreciation such as he has never felt before, as he sees the statue of Liberty and the Stars and Stripes flying, Is a hopelessly dull and stupid soul. It Is good for a man for a time to be absent from his country. (ft US*. Wert*™ N«w(p*p*r UBloa.)
