OF OF CENTRAL NEW YORK, AS INTER.
 VIEWED BY CLIFTON JOHNSON IN THE F loUTLooK.e, IB fEFETRf .a Bishop Huntington's summer home is in old Hadley, in central Massachusetts. The house he occupies is a mile north of the main village, in a regioh of scattered farmhouses. It is great, white, colon. ial building, with gambrel roof, and it stands far back in big, park-like yard, where it always seems half asleep among the drowsy shadows of the great elms that stand thick about. The same old time air of repose characterizes the. house interior. Its ancient furniture, it's open ffreplsces, it's plain walls, all seem as if they had come down unalteted from the time the house was built, more than one hundred and forty years ago. e,
 The conversation that I report was held, one summer afternoon. in the Bishops study. The conversation start ed with a question of mine about country houses. The Bishop saidE EJf T r
 The true standard of taste is simplie- ity. If a man builds, he had better build simply. l should say that of the richest. The distinction of classes is already marked enough. Wealth does not need to emphasize this distinction, and make the gap wider by building costly houses. Besides, we don't know the condition of those who will come after us. No mat ter what man is worth, he does most wisely if the house he puts up is one that can be preserved on moderate means. The home is the last place to show extravaganza, in. N ct one must think, of comfort, of proportion, symme. Itry, and ventilation, and it is well to have variety in dwellings just as there is in treesT7jjust treesT7 as there is in, nature. l accepted this old house which was built by my great-grandfather. I wouldn'r on any account alter it. That is largely because of sentiment, I suppose. It is not convenient, the rooms are low-stud- ded, ,eas you see, And there is>no rule as to their dimensions or decoration. But

He showed great deal of discretion, it seemed to me. He saved the good, yet got rid of the previ- ous' barrenness and badness of the house. Perhaps the house that is most natural and interesting is. the zone, that is built from time to time. It humanizes it; it is a growth it is place tolive- ins Such a house has charm that no house built by rule ever has.

Receiver Norton Wants DiStribu-
ton in Alexandria.
Receiver G. Hatley Norton of the Fidelity
Building and Loan Association today APP
peared before Judge Cox for the purpose
of asking the court to grant him author
ity to turn over to the jurisdiction of the
United States circuit court for the eastern
district OF Virginia between $1,000 ana
5000, collected by him in this District
The motion was opposed by Messrs. VIM
H. Sohon, F. l.. Siddans, and others, rep
resenting stockholders here and the court
took the matter under Amusement.
MIR. Norton explained ITO the court that
the home office of the association was in
Alexandria, Va, and that the Virginia
court HAD appointed him receiver for it
there He assured Judge Cox that the
court in Virginia would divide the collect
ed moneys equally among those entitled to
participate in such distribution, and he
believed that the distribution under the
Virginia court would not only be equitable
but would also be the most convenient
arrangement which Could be made.
Mr.. Sohon, voicing the opposition to the
motion, contended that 1t should not be
granted, not at least until after the Nir-
gnia court had entered a decree which
would assure the court here that all par
!es here and elsewhere would share equal
ly in the proposed distribution of the assets.
