The low, sloping roof is Interesting because of its many angles and because of the dormer window which so aptly breaks up what would otherwise prove an uninteresting surface. The panel windows, the arches of the porch, and the two chimneys are features of design that make this home quite distinctive. The value of a side entrance has often been asserted, and in this design it is deftly worked in. Bright Sayings of the Children , Several children were gathered on our lawn intently watching a baby afternoon, and then he ran' around hitting things and yelling, and making a great deal of noise. "Whatever are you doing?" asked M grandmother. " O, I is tryin' to unbreak this awful still you got In this place," he explained. CAR.

A few days after his " funeral' his Bill . porch is gained by means of French As an alternative in design, instead of having an open or screened porch as shown on the flocr plan, the entire front may be made a large sun in the exterior room, as Illustrated view. Then there can be a large openin the of center ing ,the living room wall. This latter arrangement will eliminate the necessity of a brick wall between the living room and the porch. At the other end of, the hall is the dining rclom. It is well lighted and ventilated from two sides. The architect has k?ecifled metal lath on the living room and dining room ceilings and on the wall around the fireplace. Thus precaution is taken against the possibility of plaster cratks and objectionable dust streaks in these, the most conspicuous rooms in the house. A more critical examination shows that the parts of the building where fire is most apt to originate are protected by this same material, which is a fire resistant as well as a crack preventive. In thla way the interior is kept from depreciating in value as rapidly as ordinary construction would allow. It is hardly a wise procedure to build a high quality exterior without giving the interior equal consideration. The kitchen is an example of excellent arrangement. Equipment is placed within quick reach. There is not a bit of wall space gone to waste. Adjoining the kitchen is a separate breakfast room, entered through a swinging sideboard opdoor. It haa a built-iposite the table and benches. These may be purchased ready cut direct from the mill at a saving. To avoid passing through the kitchen to gain entrance to the breakfast room there is a double door to the dining room. These doors may be glassed, and curtained, so that they will appear as French doors.

Opposite the stairs is a linen closet, which, bwame of Its location, "is handy tc the dining room, bedrooms and bath. The bathroom is well lighted by a double window.

Now lift out, drain well, and place In a large basin. Put the vinegar into a saucepan, add the sugar and spices, boil for ten minutes, then pour at once over the watermelon rind. For three days In succession pour this mixture boiling hot over the rind. Seal in sterilized jars." On Sealing Pickles. There are quite as good reasons why pickles should be perfectly sealed, in perfectly sterile glasses, as why anything put up should be so preserved. For one thing, they do not have to be as highly spiced or contain so much vinegar when so sealed, and so are a little safer to eat. For another reason, all foods exposed to anything but the purest air deteriorate, even when the " spoil " is not evident. Feodlcss stuff, such as pickles, may become an actively evil thlig to eat though the harm may be insidious and not open. It does not require any great knowledge of the chemistry of acids fiercely strong things mostly to conclude that this must be so. Many a dainty sandwich to this day is garnished withaja piece of gherkin out of a barrel over which one would ' not care to hold the head long. Bac teria of no wholesome sort live there. Of all the astonishing things in old pickle recipes, though for the days when people ate spoiled meat and called it " high," and put the most terrible compounds called medicines Into their stomachs, is one of the directions to be found In one of old Mrs. Glasse's recipes tor cucumber pickles. She tells how to keep the cucumbers In warm water for about two weeks until they " stink, but you must not mind that" Not minding that condition, which was like that around many bouquets of flowers having stood in unchanged water, she goes on with the process of preserving these in vinegar, sugar, and spices. Such a thing seems frightfully offensive, .yet there are many things In pickle making that are just aa offensive to one who knows the chemistry of food and human chemistry, although they do not have to be mentioned In such offensive terms, Even f today, we may see pickles taken from an open crock covered with a thick white film, washod, and given to be eaten. At their best, pickles can be condemned as foodless, but at their worst or when they are not as carefully, cared for as preserves, they are Insidiously and surely harmful. Pickles Are Old Fashioned.

Many years ago man built his home by weaving together branches of trees. He covered his abode with mud, using it as a plaster, and allowing It to harden in order to aflord shelter against rain and cold. As this construction was only temporary and had ,to be renewed at frequent intervals, he besought himself a better means of shelter. He gathered stones large and small piled them one on top of the other as best he could to make four walls. A few branches, some leaves, and hay soon made a roof Even this was not thoroughly satisfying. With a stone chisel he made the round stones square. They fitted better, he reasoned, kept out more rain and cold, and made the home more durable. This was the beginning of the modern brick home. It has been stated that the material put into the walls of a home should, as the old Roman said, have structural and artistic merit. Face brick has both of these qualities. Structurally, brick is of a material that endures the heaviest pressures and strains, and resists the ravages of fire and weather. Artistically considered, face brick t. many desirable qualities. There la an endless variety of color tones, and textures that will give to the artistic sense of the builder an almost unlimited choice. In recent years Improvements that overcome many of the faults of the brick made years ago have been effected in the manufacturing of face brick.""The maintenance cost of face brick is practically a negligible quantity. It needs no painting, no patching, and no repairs. As for depreciation, appraisal engineers have estimated it at only 1 per cent a year, beginning after five years. This applies to the exteriors only. Thus there are many ad- - 7, 1924. EVER HEARD d 1 widow was tinging1 pensively over her front gate. A neighbor happening ulong ' stopped to commiserate with her.
