not consist merely Of house. The

shade trees but you don't want too
much shade You want flowers, shrub
berry and climbing vines, and of course
you must have place for them In
their right places. You cannot buy

Seven rooms are economically tuck
ed away within the four walls and roof
| OF this house. 1t is built on the story
and half plan, is twenty-five feet six
inches wide and thirty-six feet long
on the ground without measuring the
porches.
This is an economical way to build
a medium sized house, because you
get the roof space for the upper
rooms, space that is very often just
thrown away on an attic. The upper
bedrooms fit into the gables and the
clothes closets fit in between the
bedrooms and the lower part of the
roof, so there is no waste space at
all and you get square ceilings, too,
or nearly SO.
1t depends good deal on climate
whether you want house built like
this, or whether you want to elevate
the roof clear above the upper rooms.
In some hot valleys where the sun
seems to beat down a little hotter
each day during the summer higher
roof might be an advantage, but on
the northern hills where few really
hot days are known and where the
nights are usually cool, this style of
house is just about as comfortable
as any in the summer time and it is
a great deal warmer and more coy
in winter. The northern climate seems
to have good deal more winter than
summer, in fact good many Of the
northern states get six or seven
months winter and the balance of the
year is divided up between cloudy
days and cool weather.
1t is to settle such questions that
house plans are for. If person has
plain straightforward plan Of
house with the size plainly given and
the shape and size Of the rooms prop
erly designated he can study it over
and decide at leisure about the differ
ent points. An economy in building
may not be an economy in after years.

King Chulalongkorn of Siam is
going home, but Europe will long re.
member the wide swath he cut there
and the cash he sowed broadcast. The
climax was reached in his birthday
celebration in Germany, when he "cut
loose for three days and cornered the
wine and beer market in search of an
adequate supply of those beverages,
which were furnished free to all COM
ers. He also spent several millions in
paying hotel bills and buying jewelry,
and there is not the slightest doubt
that the departure of his majesty will
be sincerely mourned by all who
shared in the royal largess. The kings
return is in keeping with his triumph
al progress through Europe. He has
chartered the entire first cabin of the
steamer on which he and his suite are
to take passage for the east. ...

In short, he was completely bewilder-
ed until Dorothy, her sweet face all
flushed and quivering, half laughing,
half sobbing, rushed into his arms, ex-
claiming:
ooh, papa, dear, don't you under
stand? I am Mr.. Henry Page Es-
mond!"
When her father had got her home
at last, and they had managed to ex-
plain matters to the assembled COM
pany, the commotion which arose was
wonderful to experience. Dolly was
laughed over, cried over and passed
around to be kissed until she was
quite breathless, while the parIor fair
ly bristled with EXPLANATIONS. Clar-
ence whirled her around and around
in wild dance, and her mother could
not stop asking questions Lucia look
ed at her rather reproachfully as she
slyly tucked her book out of sight;
but Judge Whitman made her a most
courtly and ceremonious bow, say
ing: Il congratulate you, my dear"
At last the heroine of this ovation
escaped to her room to adjust her hair
and gown, which had become sadly
rumpled with embraces, leaving her
friends to chatter and exclaim, and
talk at the top Of their voices all
together. 1t was the proudest moment
Of her life. Maturer years brought
other triumphs, but never one so glo,
rious as this.
And thus it happened that Dorothy,
while she by no means ceased to be
domestic, did become an artist, and
carved out for herself career which
had its beginning in the queer cows"
