The use Of cement mortar is a great

the materials are mixed. 1t some
times is desirable to have the back

upon what use you wish to make of
the cellar.

years. Until recently the idea of hot
and cold water and a bathroom in a
house Of this size was almost unheard
of. In order to enjoy what are ordi
narily called modern c~onveniences it
was necessary to occupy a large house,
but bathrooms, hot water in the
kitchen, gas and electric lighting are
growing more common all the time
and they are being installed in small.
er houses every year. Because it is
necessary or because a person prefers
a small house it is no longer necessary
that they should do without the com

furnace and running hot water are sc
valuable in a house.
These things do not necessarily cost
a great deal more when you are build
ing. There is a little additional ex-
pense, of course, but it is SO small
when weighed against the many bene-
fits to be derived that the extra cost
is not worth considering. When you

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building for the readers of this
paper. On account OF his wide expe-
rience as Editor. Author and Manufac-

authority on all these subjects. Address

A small cottage house 25 feet wide
by 4S feet 6 inches long is given in
this plan. 1t is built without an attic
which saves expense in roof construc-
ton and the low roof design fits the
general style Of the house better than
a high roof could. 1t is a small affair
when measured up against the ordi-
nary house, but it contains more room
and more convenience than the ortho-
dox ive-room fiat in a city and it is
immensely superior when it comes to
comfort.
A person never appreciates the value
OF a good cellar until they leave one
and go to live in q city fiat where you
have no cellar, except an ice box, and
no o to store a pint of cider or a
peck of potatoes. 1t is much better ar
ranged than a fiat because you have
light on all sides and the bedrooms, as
well as all other rooms, are light and
airy, a great advantage in both comfort
and health. BE it ever so humble
there is no place like home" is a senti-
ment that applies in a general way to
all small houses, but not especially to
this one because it is so attractive in
appearance, so thoroughly we'll ar
ranged and SO comfortable that the
humble features arc lost sight If en-
t.rely.
There Is a good deal in the shape of
the cellar. A good many cellars are
almost useless except to keep the
house up away from the ground, to
keep it dry and assist some in keeping
the lower floors warm. Some cellars
are too dark and musty to be desirable
and a great many cellars are too con-
temptibly dirty for any purpose what
ever. A good deal depends on the

His Dilemma.

Henry Miller, the actor, tells an
amusing story to a man with a big
account in a savings bank. He ap-
preached the teller n day and con-
fided to him that he had %Quarreled
with his family and wanted to change
his will. but didn't know to whom to
leave his money.
The bank official, being Of a phil
anthropic bent, suggested that it be
given to an orphans home, waxing
eloquent in charging upon the good
the money would do. The visitor
listened with growing Impotence, and
then broke out with:
THE orphans! Why should / leave
my money to the orphans? What did
the orphans ever do for me?"-Broad-
way Magazine.

Attractive BIouses.

Strikingly attractive are the blouses
made of black net striped all over with
black ribbon velvet and made up over
white silk. They have little balloon
sleeves, and transparent yokes of lace,
which are easily taken out for even
ing wear. Other blouses that are pop
ular are made of striped or lowered
silks, grounded in the tone of the
skirt. which is far prettier than hav-
ing the waist an extreme contrast.

but more depends on the manner in
which 1t is built and the Ear it re-
ceives afterwards. All cellars should
be dry. that is there should be no per.
ceptible dampness. When eatables are
stored in a cellar there should be no
accumulation of mold. At the same
time a cellar should not be dusty dry.
Generally II a cellar is five feet under

This invention was improved upon in
