VILLAGE In ITSELF
COMPLETENESS OF RICH MANS
COUNTRY HOME.
All the Necessities and Most Of the
Luxuries Of Life Are Afforded
Him Within His Own
Domain.

In buying land for q city house the
millionaire deals with square feet;
but for a country mansion he pur.
chases a tract of so many square
miles. This extensive scale Is car
ried through In all the arrangements.
When the estate is ready for occu.
pancy the owner finds himself lord
Of a beautiful acreage, contributing
TO his ever luxurious want-all from
its wi resources
To plan a country house is almost
like planning to build a village. The
large estate is q very complete af-
fair, indeed, Its center is the house,
which must be large enough to not
only properly accommodate the own.
err and his family, but IL must contain
suites of rooms for the numerous
guests with which II will be filled for
the wook.ends and for longer periods.
The stable and the carriage.house are,
in their way, quite as necessary as
the dwelling. Many n great stable
vies with the residence in size and
elegance of equipment. If the estate
is a large one, covering many acres,
there is n farmhouse for the farmer.
a farmbarn and outbulldings in which
each particular industry of the farm
will have its own headquarters. II
The owner is addicted to polo. there
is a third and complete stable for the
ponies. There is q chicken.house for
tho chickens and other fowls, and,
II this feature is sufficiently devel-
oped, a special residence for the per.
son having this matter In charge.
Dogs, If kept In ample variety, will
have well appointed kennels and a
c~aretaker's house in close proximity.
There is a dairy, with perhaps a
s~pringhouse and cooling room for the
milk, and tiled.lined rooms in which
the butter will be made. The mar
ket garden has its array Of hot.beds,
and the Conservatives in which rare
plants are raised for the decoration
of the house are as extensive as those
in which plants are ~propagated for
the outdoor gardens. Nor should the
automobile house be overlooked, since
this popular vehicle completes with
the horse In meeting the needs OF the
house transportation; and, ms likely
as not a repair shop forms a neces-
sary adjunct to 1t.
Buildings that minister to the phys,

numerous. Every sequestrated es

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The ONE of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure,
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But In at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as We carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom. decaying PUSHES on the floor
of his banquet hall, or soiled Lace In
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
1t was not subject to rapid changes Of
fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the
hang of a skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like a last years rag bag"

The Usea of Worry.

Worry of II sort and another Is
