the room appear wider and larger, they

Twenty years ago people ran to abb
surd extremes of height in building
new houses, the first story ranging from
IL to is, Is or even 20 feet in height
in large and costly houses This is now
recognized as u mistake, as it only
makes the stairs harder to climb and the
rooms look less homelike. At present
there is almost no exception to the rule
that rooms should be so treated III deco
ration as to look as large as possible,
even if this treatment makes them seem
lower. l have seen an old fashioned
country place whose first ceiling was
only trifle over 8 feet high papered
with dado and broad, emphatic
frieze, leaving hut narrow strip of
wall space. The result was coy in the
extreme, and rooms of but moderate
size were made to look of generous pro-
portions.
The old fashioned narrow hall, with
stairs starting straight up from the
front door, is bugbear in rearranging
an interior. Such stairs are tempta-
ton to sneak thieves, a foe to privacy
and nuisance all round. In nearly all
of the house the stairs can be turned
about and ascend from the back of the
hall toward the front, using the same
stair opening There should be step,
or perhaps two, at the side. then broad
landing, then turn, and the stairs can
come up straight toward the front, the
fight being partially concealed from

arrangement leaves space of from to

Fiction Stranger Than Truth.

There IL now living ut Plymouth an old
man, named William Lawson, who has
had remarkable career. Mention is made
of tho fact that he is the father of the Cap
tain Lawson who wrote very successful
book, some years ago published by Chap
man & Hall, entitled "Wanderings In New
Guinea" This book had remarkable
history.
1t was really skit on Stanley's TRAY
els In Africa" tho secondary idea of the
author being that it would serve Us an in
teresting book of adventure for boys
There was hardly spot in the civilized
world from which Captain Lawson did not
receive congratulations upon his work
People took it quite seriously. Among 9th
ers Professor Goldsmith of Berlin wrote
for extracts. DR.. Ferrara who accompanied
the Prince of Wales in India, asked to be
allowed To use an extract from 1t, contain
ing an account of a tiger fight, for publ
cation in one of his own books. Sir John
Lubbock, who was mt the head of the Royal
society at the time, wrote to him and ask
ed him to 90 to London and give u lecture
on his travels. Mono of these eminent peo-
pie was aware that what Captain Lawson
had written was in fact, n very fine work
of fiction, and that he knew no moro from
personal experience about New Guinea
than they did themselves. Western Week

Tomato Cups.

Cut or 4 of the round, smooth
skinned tomatoes in halves, lay them in
baking tin with little butter and
bake till tender, but without allowing
them to lose their shape. Remove them
from the oven and scoop out a good por-
ton of the center from each. Break a
couple of eggs into a small saucepan,
add lump of butter, wineglassful of
milk, couple of mushrooms minced
very fine (these should have been pre-
viously cooked in little butter) and
salt and pepper. Whisk these ingredi-
ents over the fire till thick and creamy,
fill the tomato cups with it, decorate
each with little sprig of parsley and
serve very hot. A dessertspoonful Of
grated cheese may be added if liked.

little bit neater.
Some ideas die hard, among them the
superstition that brick looks less bricky
when plastered or painted and lined off
with staring white lines.
Another mantel experiment was equal
ly successful. The problem was to put
chimney into side of house only
two feet from the fence line without
disturbing floor or frame. This was ac-
complished by cutting an arch 8 feet
wide through the walls above and be-
low, setting the chimney back to the
line and building very shallow square
bay to inclose it, On either side of the
chimney breast there was just room
enough for a small, coy seat, with book.
shelves on the back wall above. This
was rather an expensive operation, but
it was fully worth while, even in the
financial way, as the sale of the house

The other day she tripped into the par

and several other little things in her hands,
including the last paper back novel and u
few patterns of velyeteen.
Several people were crowded around thu
cashiers window, but as they were all
men, and she was pretty, they allowed her
to get to the window first.
"How muchg" asked the cashier brisl,ly
Indeed rather too briskly for strict po-
likeness.
Three dollars" she answered, trying
not to blush, as she saw that u redheaded
man was taking warm personal interest
in her affairs.
Three dollarsp All right" said the
cashier. He gathered in the three bills
and the handbook in its envelope with n
flourish, sloshing around as ostentatiously
as butcher selling chuck steak
AS no pulled the book from the envelope
there was "A heartless grin on his hitherto
blank face, and he rasped out to the
shrinking blond:

The cashier was holding up, for the gaze
of the redheaded man and others, the por-
trait of the man to whom the blond had
given her heart. She had slipped the
portrait into the big envelope to keep it
from tho profane gaze Of tho world and
had handed 1t to that cashier by mistake.
