A -- THE HOME HARMONIOUS By Anita de Cafnjpi AUTUMN EATING AND COOKING APPLES. pie Wae.rtickfftjrtwo stick, Iwofl personal , s N We have a pretty flower garden In cur yard. One day a neighbor boy, pointing to the flowers, asked, " What are they? ' piazza lattices, railings, and corner boards, should not be emphasized by pgint of a contrasting color. If they are, the appearance of the house is cheapened and it Invariably looks smaller than it really la . In northern Wisconsin there Is a perfectly lovely little shingled house, a portion of which is pictured here. In order to protect the wood against the weather tie shingles are stained with dove gray! which bears a close resemblance to the natural weather stained color. The windows, which are divided into a number of small lights, are finished with baton bllnda The doorway is framed in a trellis, with built-i- n seats at tha sides.. These, .with the blinds and window trims, age painted a soft greenish blue, ss also are the flower boxes at the windows, which are filled With pink geraniums and overhanging ivy vines. At either side of the front entrance there are dwarf t blue needle pine trees. A characteristic color for a suburban An home of colonial design is yellow. impressive home of this type in, one of our own suburbs - Is painted a clear yellow.with columns and trim of Ivory white. The shutters are rich In dark green, and the roof is stained in a sUghUy.lighter tone of green. Interesting combinations of colors In may be had where stucco is used. New York, a house which la greatly admired Is of grayish green stucco. The woodwork of the windows, doors, and porch is stained a deep brown, and the tiles on the roof are red. There is a small house which has been cleverly thought out in Long Island. It was designed to At a position between two others, one of which is of itftcco and the other of shingles. The Idea of each house is carried out In the Intermediate one, by the use of a combination of the two materials. The walls pf the ground floor are covered with gray stucco; the upper, shingled walls are painted light gray. The baton blinds, with apertures sawed in the form of crescent moons, are dull light green, and the shingles. of the roof are stained dull brown. Window boxes, filled1 with nasturtiums, add their note of gaiety. For the walls of a summer cottage taupe stucco is a good selection. Trellises for vines, window trims, and doors should be painted ivory white. In this instance, and the blinds and roof should be done in mellow green. A summer home in the mountains is snugly located. It is placed a little lawn chasing butterflies. By chance Paul caught one. He started to put It Into a glass jar which he had ready for that purpose, but his sister remon- strated. Dont you know, sister, that butonly live a few days, anyway?" he asked Importantly, terflies "Well, pwap thats so, Pauline, hotly, but I bet wather die a free life!" Dorothy answered, Four o'clock.

Front the entrance gate there 'are several steps down, leading into a In the center of beds flowerSr there is a tank lined with Italian piuej tiles, in which goldfish are kept. At either side of the lively garden. pf gay garden, et among shrubs and shade trees, are low garden seats and tables. The delightful house is a creamy white with red tiled roof. Two of the bedrooms have wide balconies with flat roofs. All of the w indows have leaded panes. The living room, which is two stories high, with a gallery, has a lofty square bay window, made of leaded glass The central, arched doorway has, a" black door, trimmed with metab Clipped hedges surround the house and garden. The house, grounds, and all cover of an acre, but the land only scape gardening is so beautifully done that the appearance Is that of a vast estate. The color of the window shades must be taken into consideration, from the Standpoint of their exterior aspect as well as from that of their relation to the Interior. They should match some one of the colors on the outside of the house. A small frame house In the city which was painted putty color has window shades which match exactly. The trims serve 'the pur- pose of marking off the windowj nicely. so that there is not a feeling of monotony, due to the fact that the window openings are filled In with the same color gs that of the walls. The material used for the roller shades is double faced, so that the color scheme of the interior as well as that of the exterior may be carried out Many of the best examples of colonial houses are of red brick. Ivory white is an effective and appropriate color for the columns and trims for a house of this type. The window shades here should, match the trims. Picture to yourself a buff colored brick house with trims and wooden blinds of deep grayish green, vindow shades of the same green would be neat as well as practical. It is not always the house itself which Is pleasing. Almost any house, if not treated in the proper scale of coloring, would be unattractive.

If ws want to study food quality, gain come technique concerning some pne at least of the foods that w are using endlessly, perhaps we could do so more conveniently in the eAse of the apple than in the ease of any other food. Tq train ourselves in one food specifically is to find ourselves acquiring higher discrimination in reference to alL There is culture, satisfaction, entertainment, and plain straight knowledge to be obtained in this sort of training and we do not have to go out of oiir way much to gain It. It will give our eating at least a secondary interest and gof that far in removing foods from dull associations. We could take the apple for study ' COMBINATIONS OP COLOR. passing through a neighborhood good tt&nding & few days ago, 13 of we sere surprised to see the utter disregard for harmony with which the houses had been painted. They were. Individually, good looking housese and would hove been all right In their proper environment, . But taken da a whole, they certainly presented an appearance. In one block, there waa a dark red house next to one of yellow brick: then there waa on which was painted bright green, then a deep brown one next to a gray one. On large estates In the country there Is not much difficulty in the selection of appropriate colors, as each house' is Independent of any other, and the color used is merely a matter of In the city, how. preference. ever, where it Is necessary that the houses be In close proximity, the problem Is more complex, and questions other than personal preference must guide the selection. The color of each house should bear some relation to colors of neighboring houses. In many Instances one bouse may create a connecting link between the bouses at either side, which otherwise would not harmonize. Plain white houses usually seem cold and austere. They may be transformed into the most cheerfully warm looking places, however, still maintaining their appearance of the cleanest , of whites. This effect is brought about by the addition of a bit of yellow and a touch of black oil the whit paint, before it Is applied. It Is not necessary to mix in so much of the yellow and black that the color will be changed entirely, but just enough to give the white a warm tinge. We might add here that it is always best to have a coat of white lead applied to the wood, 'before using any color. Bluish tones, whether they are In white or in colors, are likely to be depressing, if used to cover large areas. The whole house should, in most cases, be painted the same color, except for the details of doorways, win? dows, shutters, etc. These may be painted in a contrasting or harmoniswarm ing color. Neutral colors,-lik- e gray, barley, sand, or ivory white, are almost always satisfactory for covering the walla of tha house.

There were , many Burbanks in that day doing wonders in growing fruits, to which their names became attached. They even tried growing potatoes from the seed and got 4s Interesting results as those which made Burbank famous. But In particular they were extensive orchard-ist- s for the love of fruit mostly and because orcharding was a gentlemanly pursuit. They grafted and exchanged trees and Imported and wrote and talked fruit. Named for an Emperor.

Some of the apples imported had been growing for centuries' under castle walls, or in gentlemen's " estates. It is astonishing how many of the names of apples, like the Blenheim pippin, originated in this way, and then when they got to America got named for Benjamin Franklin or a minister named "Porter." The Porter apple, a first .rat New England fruit, raised by the Rev. S. Porter of Sherburne, Mass., and deservedly a great favorite in the Boston market," was quite abundant last year in our own markets, taking on new Ufa, as It were. The Country Gentleman for Sept. 23 has an editorial, a boost for both the Porter fruit and the tree, "a speaking .picture of dignity and honesty." Two of the three autumn apples which we still get under the name Alexander were named for an emperor of that name one a Russian emperor. The apple in the old book is called a magnificent Russian species," If one could follow back the pippin am sure we would come In history In contact with no end of romantic and picturesque facts.
