A house is meet attractive when it is set oft with colorful foliate. The plainest of homes, if surrounded by a large laws with plenty of trees, bushes, and flowers, will have a beautiful appearance, while on the other hand a costly home, well designed and soundly built, will look quite plain and out of place it crowded into a narrow Sat with houses built close up on both sides. When building a horn, it is well to consider whether it is designed to look well on the lot which it will occupy. It Is much easier to design a house for a large lot than for a narrow one, for the reason that the architect is allowed more freedom in the use of his On a Imagination and originality. narrow lot most of th originality of the design must appear on the front of the house, as the side are seldom viewed. Illustrated today is a bouse designed especially for a narrow lot C Kaufman of Twin Falls, Idaho, is the architect. The total width, exclusive of th living room bay, is 25 feet 6 inches and la, therefore, well suited to any lot from 30 to 40 feet wide. Th hous is designed for a small family, there being only four rooms and an enclosed porch. It is built of stucco, which, with modern methods of application, proves to be a substantial and attractive exterior finish. , The general design of the bungalow permits of a variety of exterior decorations in the way of flower boxes, vines and shrubbery.

This is th ' most desirable location in the house for the bedroom, as anyone who has ever occupied such a room can well testify. Double casement win dows in the front and side walls furnish an abundance of light and ventilation. The double closet space will prove to be great convenience. There art also two closets in th hall between th kitchen and bedroom. Thus there is almost more than enough cubcl space tor uus vroau uuzuiy room to place hv t. ',. rrw1 I tlfc 1 aence.

There is no chandelier In either the living room or the dining room, wall lights being used exclusively. In a long room with low ceilings it is difficult to place a chandelier so that it will look appropriate. A good sized dining room is always desirable, and in this the architect has not failed to fill all expectations Beyond the dining room there is a open porch, reached through double French doors. The porch overlooks the yard, and Is kept cool by a vine covered pergola overhead. This is an attractive and peaceful spot for afternoon tea or a game of cards. Well supplied with cabinet space is the medium sized kitchen. A sink with a double drain board is at on end, while the range is at the other. A refrigerator may be placed anywhere under the cabinets or on the adjoining closed porch. Thar are but few steps between the kitchen and dining room. This is a convenience thst housewives will appreciate.

In speaking of plumbing, it might be well to consider the prevention of plaster cracks In the bath room walla due to heavy plumbing. Such cracks are easily avoided by the use of metal latn on th walls and ceilings, which will reinforce the plaster so that It may tear the pressure and strains without any visible effects. There Is only one stairway to the basement, but it Is so situated that it serves as Inside as well as outside stairs, being completely Inclosed yet accessible from the side gangway. The basement Is roomy and well planned. Coal room and furnace room are partitioned off from the laundry, thus avoiding unnecessary dust and dirt Red stained shingles are used on the roof, and the stucco Is pure white with s coating of pink and white granite All exterior woodwork is pebbles. painted white. Architect Kaufman has observed one of the fundamental rules of good stucco construction by stopping the stucco about a foot from the ground and Inserting a row of brick. Below the brick the wall is coated with a layr of waterproof cement. In this way moisture is prevented from getting behind the stucco, which prevents cracking or crumbling. Earth stains are also avoided by this construction, thus Insuring permanent beauty of the stucco finish.

A canvass of a large nurroer of their recipe shows that th following method. Is perhaps th commonest, although some cooks boll th potatoes entirely, why some prepare them by parboiling only. Perhaps to parboil only is best and until they soften and the skins rub oif readily when dipied In cold water. Then slice In one Inch pieces, put a layer In a buttered bak-tndish, aprtnkl it thickly with light brown or grsriulstd sugar, tccordins to taste, dot with bits of butter, snd add a little salt Repeat layers until dish is full, then pour In half a cup of hot water and bake in a hot oven for hour. Cinnamon and nutmeg are both used In the dishes, but cinnamon seems to be the more universally favored. In the days of paper bag cookery, one famous writer on southern cookery smeared boiled and peeled sweat potatoes with butter, rolled them In sugar, and put them In a bag " with more butter, sugar, and lemon Juice." Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes, In the old days of baking a bushel of potatoes at a Urn In th great brick ovens of Georgia plantations, th fashion was to bak th potatoes ta their skin, let them get quit cold, peel them, and then bak them a second time. By this method the sweetness in them became a good deal concentrated, because of the evaporation of the water, and it is a sweetness with a flavor which no sort of sugar can rival.- - In - tome southern recipes,' printed in a magazine a quarter of a century ago, thr is the following paragraph: "To th southerner the sweet potato Is as necessary an article of diet as the white potato Is north of the Mason and Dixon line, and it requires to make it light and flaky more cooking thsn it usually get In our northern kitchens. If th sweet pota-t- r are roasted in the ashes in true plantation style, one cooking generally suffices, hot otherwise they ar better treated to two."
