BOY INSISTED ON PIANO

son, a good, steady boy, earning SO a
week. His wages, with the boarder's,
would have supported the family, but
he had fixed passion to become a
musician, and was boarding with an.
other family because they had a pi.
ano and would let him practice on IL.
He was perfectly tractable on all
other points, but give up his music he
would not. What! resign his ambi.
tion and ruin his life? No. The com.
mittee cast about and secured from
an interested person the use of a
piano. The boy was told that he
could have this in his home free of
charge. provided he would turn his
wages into the family exchequer. He
consented.
"And now" says DR.. Oppenheimer.
there Is nothing the matter with the
family except that they don't get
enough sleep, as the boy practices at
the most unseemly hours"

II Is generally admitted that a
southern exposure is the best for all
houses and should be obtained when
ever possible. It Is immaterial wheth-
er the entrance is placed on this side
or not, SO long as the rooms most in
use open onto the house.
In dwellings of average size the en-
trance front will also be the front on
which any important room opens,
but In large country houses, the old
distinction of front and back to a
house has disappeared and instead we
have the entrance front and the gar
den front; the service and servants
quarters, so long regarded as charac-
teristic of the back" Of a house, may
be relegated to side end or placed
in wing that abuts directly on the
entrance front. In such cases 1t must
be well screened, and it's purpose

Some funny stories get mixed up
with the pathetic ones in the annals
of the charity workers Of the city of
New York. DR.. II. 8. Oppenheimer,
chairman of the Gramercy district
committee Of the charity organization,
tells one of family which applied for
relief In his district. 1t was an Ar
menian family, with father 60
years old. broken In health, unable to
find work, or to do much II he got 1t.
The mother was also incapable OF
earning much. Two boys under work
ing age had been practically support
ing the family, but the truant officer
had sent them back to school. An
Armenian boarder was giving up his
entire wages to keep the family from
starvation when they applied for re.
lief.
