Show Woman Architect Hero Officer Slays Escaped Killer Lion Plans Home Around ..is Owners Interests By BETTY WELLS several bones to pick with IVE ADVENTURERS architects and builders. Because so often youd think from the layouts of the houses theyd plan, that they didnt really care much about how a woman would want a house, Oh, please dont get huffy. I must admit that the more recently built homes are very well planned. CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI uOff Kinsale Head Helloyoueverybody: go to see Patrick J. Hanley at his home But most of us have to live in houses that have been built for a long time. So we sit around wondering where in the world we can find an inch or two of wall space at Richmond Hill, N. Y., he might show you an old life preserver that he acquired at sea, on the afternoon of Friday, May 7, 1915, off the Old Head of Kinsale on the coast of Ireland. And maybe Pat will even tell you the story of that tale. Pat wouldnt part with that old contraption of cork and canvas for half the wealth of the Indies, for it carried him safely through his lifes greatest adventure. And how great a danger it was you will easily realize when I tell you that although Pat lived, eleven hundred and ninety-eigothers lost their lives before it was over. ht Maybe you've already got a hunch what this story la going to be Maybe that mention of Kinsale Head has struck a responsive chord in your memory. Then again, maybe it hasnt It's been more than 20 years now, and few people remember that the Old Head of Kinsale was the scene of the greatest at marine disasters, the sinking at the Lusitania. . ,, . about Women architects have good ideas shoot booses.

And give me big closets and a good traffic route through the house. The other day I perked up my ears when I heard a famous woman architect talk about in a woman's language. Plenty of closets and plenty of places to put things away in were her tenets of faith. She also likes lots of light d windows, so bay through windows are her hobby. She believes there should be an entrance hall instead of having the front door come right into the living room and that every house should have a small playroom on the first floor if possible. A house should reflect the interests of the owner, she insists also, and recalled a recent house she built with a study for a literary member of the family it had a built-i- n files, drawers desk, built-iand shelves that make it an ideal writing room. Another house she built recently had an attic playroom with a skylight to let in all the winter sunshine. While in the home of a teacher of elocution and dramatics this architect included a small . theater on the second floor for theatrical performances. She thinks that would be a nice idea in a home where amateur movies are a family hobby. house-planni- ng well-place- n C By Batty W1U. WNU Service.

HUNTING FOR NEW COIFFURES two-thir- place in all tbo wide, wide world Can ever bo like homo. And if you mako it all yoursOU You na'er will want to roam. Mo r and Nanny Meadow Mouse were home hunting. This, you know, isnt quite the same as house hunting. People who go hunting for a house in which to live look for houses which someone else has built. When they find one usually they have to build it over. Anyway there are sure to be some things about it which they would have different if they could. But when they go home hunting they just hunt and hunt until they find just the place where they want to live and then they build a house to suit themselves. Anyway that is the way Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse planned to do. It was great fun, this hunting for a new hone. To be sure each had a home, Danny in one place and Nanny in another, but Danny didn't think Nannys home safe any more now that Reddy Fox had been prowling around it, and for the same reason he didnt think his own home was quite safe. It might be safe enough for him, for it always had been, but it wasnt safe enough for Nanny. That is what comes of loving a very great deaL Danny loved Nanny so much that what he felt was good enough and safe enough for him he was sure wasnt good enough and safe enough for her. So they decided that they would make a new home and this would be the very best home of all because they would build it together and live there together. We might go live in the Old Briar Patch where Peter Rabbit lives-saiDanny thoughtfully, only dont want Petfr to know anything about our new home. Its to be our very own secret, and if Peter knew about it it wouldnt be a secret at all. Then lets not go near the Old Briar Patch, said Nanny in such a decided way that Danny knew that that was settled. asked Where shall we go? Danny. Oh, anywhere, replied Nanny, so long as it isnt where Reddy Fox is likely to look for us. "1 know of a splendid place, only it is a long way from here, said Danny, looking at Nanny a little bit doubtfully. Nanny smiled, 1 dont care how far it is, she retorted. Lets go look at it. and see if it really is so splendid. So off they started across the Green Meadows, side by side when they could and with Danny in the lead when the path was too narrow for more than one. And all the time Danny kept the sharpest watch for danger, not forgetting to look up in the sky for Whitetail the Hawk. But he saw no one and he thought no one saw them. That was because he didnt notice a little speck way up in the blue, blue sky. That speck was 01 Mistah Buzzard sailing round and round and watching all that was going on below.

By that time an Irish fishing trawler the first craft to coma to the rescue was just arriving at the scene of disaster. Pat, held up by his life preserver, began swimming toward It Says he: It was a ailing vessel equipped with four big oars which the crew pulled like Trojans. Already they were picking people out of the water by the dozen. Lifeboats were rowing out to it unloading their passengers and going back to pick up more. The small boats made several trips back and forth, but they only picked up those who showed signs of life. By tht time we reached the trawler there were 500 otheri Already on It The time Pat spent on that trawler, was aa adventure all la Itself. The cockpit the deck the hold nil of them were literally Jammed with people. Up on deck the passengers had te stand close together and hang onto one another, for they were packed right to the edge ef the deck and there waa no railing to keep them from going overboard. When the last bit ef available space waa occupied with the task of saving n human life, the little craft took in tow three lifeboats filled with more ef the rescued, and started away from the scene. Less Than 800 Were Saved. Pat dung for hia life to the man next to him. Now the waters wen full of other craft steaming rowing failing to the rescue. A large boat hove to and took the crowd off the trawler. While the trawler wenl back to pick up more survivors, the big boat, with Pat aboard it, steamed toward Queenstown harbor. But the trawler didnt pick np another load like her first, for the records show that leas than M0 people were saved eat ef n total of nearly 2,000.
