villages and on farms In the country, re-
quire homes. having ten or more rooms
with all modern conveniences and they
must be obtained at small cost which
necessitates economy In size, height of
studding. height of stories. number and
size OF windows, ETC., and rigid economy
In the material used and manner OF in-
ishing the interior.

Is well adapted TO the wants OF such a
family, being arranged with bedroom on
the first floor and bathroom convenient,

Such houses are especially adapted for
rural homes. Surrounded with trees set

The side walls would look well shingled
and the shingles stained brown, with
red roof and the sash painted white. II
outside blinds are used they should be
painted a darker shade OF brown TO har-
monize with the shingles. This house
would also look well cemented on the
outside with rough cast finish. IN which
case the trimmings, castings. corniccs.

roof and dark green window blinds. Ths
high pitched gable roof Is quite a change
from the more common method OF build

the same as those seen during the sum-
mer. These blouses are smartest when
made very plainly, with long sleeves, cut
In moderate size, closely plated along the
lower arm into straight band cuff.
Some of the silk and also the wash
blouses have the center plalt edged with
a frill Of the same material buttonholed
In black or some contrasting color, the
cuffs being finished in the same way.
These blouses are usually made for wear
with a separate turnover collar or stock
although few of the flannel blouses, In
tended for house or country wear. have
attached low rundown collars of the ma
terial. with which a silk Windsor tie Is
worn.
The separate waist for more formal
wear is also cot on shirtwaist lines, and
trimmed moderately or efaborately, ac-
cording TO its purpose. Its sleeve Is ell
bow or three quarter length, as preferred.
and the waist closes In the back, leaving
the front unbroken for decorative treat
ment. The collar Is almost invariably or
some transparent material, such as thin
lace, null, batiste or tucked tulle, and
there Is generally a littG yoke of the
same.

The decline In favor OF the separate

and still each season IL reappears in new
and attractive forms, and continues to
hold its own In popular favor. 1t is really
indispensable for wear with the tailored

new blouses are especially designed for

REBURNIsHING FOR WINTER.

In the better class OF houses, hardwood
floors are the rule. and small rugs take
the place Of the old time carpetings.
Fine muslin curtains are hung In the win
dows Of the bedrooms and nat lace or
madras curtains In the family rooms. The
other draperies, both upstairs and down.
are cotton or jute prints or such simple
and inexpensive weaves. The upholster.
ings are likewise OF the simplest type.
and the majority OF the furniture Is gen.
orally In willow, wicker or white enamel.
This Is all very tasteful and charming
for warm, summery weather. but when
the chill days OF late fall arrive. these
light furnishings begin TO lose their cheer
fuiness. and are apt TO look a little bare.
Refurnishing for the cold weather can
be very easily done. without n great ex.
penditure. by using as far as possible the
framework already there. Just as cotton
and linen slip covers will make heavy
upholstered furniture look cool and com
Portable during the hot weather. so will
