hushed up. Anyone contemplating
building this house could not do a
wiser thing than plan this little tower
room for one of the children. It Is not
very large, but it Is big enough. Give
It to the boy, let it be his own exclus-
lively until he outgrows it. Do not pile

Th1rty-one by sixty feet, exclusive of
the porch, gives ground room enough
for very roomy cottage, especially
when the roof space in the gables is
transformed into pretty, interesting
bedrooms. This plan provides a tower
an ideal place for boys room. The
imagination of any youngster is stinu-
lated by the prospect of decorating his
own room with pictures, tennis rackets,
canoe paddles, Indian clubs, lacrosse
sticks. snow shoes, curling stones, ball
CLUBS, Indian snakes, skis, skates and
as many other evidences of boyish
sports as he can lay his hands on. The
encouragement given by father and
mother go long way toward helping
out IN the artistic arrangement of such
boyish decorations. Every boy has
some 'esthetic ideas along these lines
that may be developed to his lasting
benefit,
A boy with such a room, if encour-
aged by his parents and treated right
IN other ways, never has an inclina-
ton to leave home. Modern American
life has too strong tendency to lead
boys into outside channels. Men are
absorbed in business, come home at
night tired out and want the young
sters sent off to bed with little court
esy. AS the boys grow older they re-
sent such treatment and look for
street companions, and too often find
amusement in questionable places.
Nine times out of ten, parents are di-
rectly to blame for evil association
tendencies that are developed in grow
ing boys. Healthy boys are full of life
and demand amusement as their right
full prerogative. If they are denied
these things at home it is the most
natural thing to look for it elsewhere
Their experience and youthful enthusi-
asm leads them easily into mischief
that good strong home influence
would counteract. Industrious Ameri-
cans in middle life usually have the
means necessary to provide comfort
