THE BUNGALOW

It Is in a class by itself and differs from every other sort of house. It is so simple of construction that 1t should go up like Aladdin's palace
 The first consideration In the ar rangement Is that 1t should permit constant out of door life The second is that 1t should look as though 1t grew in the selected spot.
 It is permitted to ramble over as much ground as Is wanted. The roof covers the entire building. piazzas, ell and all and one chimney is used for Kitchen stove and living rooms.
 In building the floor joists should be set up just off the ground SO that they will not rot When the outside finished walls are put on air spaces should be left to preserve them.
 Chestnut or cedar posts are used to set the bungalow upon. as these arc cheaper than brick piers. These posts 1 should be set in four inches below 1 grade, so as to be below the frost line The posts should be set on large flat stones for footings. The piazza fool should be laid with an eighth of ar inch space between the boards. Thi: allows the water to drain.
 Bungalows are often built of slabs. but, though pictorial, these are i'm. practicable from the fact that wood in- sects get in under the bark and de stroy the wood.
 The roof Is of shingles and the over. hang of the caves Is left with exposed rafttrs to save the expense of finish The walls may be clapboarded or shin. gled.
 There should be builders paper be. tween the wallboards and the clap. boards. This is inexpensive and VII keep out heat and cold.
 The floors throughout are generally of pine The living room should bt open to the roof, but the other room: should have sheathed ceiling

A USEFUL GIFT

Every Parisian "grande dame" owns charming square of brocade interlined with lambs wool and trimmed with yards of lace, ribbon and plaited silk or satin. It looks like some airy noth- ing, merely intended 10 give the ap- pearance of complete daintiness to the boudoir. But it is really useful. It serves to cover the feet when the weather Is cold at night; 1t does to keep mlady from catching cold dur ing the afternoon siesta and at all times 1t is an adornment to the room. It is. of course, mostly for winter use, but in summer one sews for winter, so why not make such charming thing if not for ones self, then for a present to some friend? The center, which is about a yard square, is quilt ed, and hand quilting is beautiful and not difficult.

HEMSTITCHING

Of course. hemstitching is always to be desired as trimming for dainty lin- gerie, but just at present 1t is especial ly in favor. many garments being trimmed exclusively with the dainty hand finish without the assistance of a yard of lace or embroidery, A handy little workbag that lives on the porch piece of work to keep in that pretty little workbag that lives on the porch Is long strip of handkerchief linen or fine batiste-just the width of rufIle for drawers or petticoat-with threads drawn and hem turned and pasted. A few moments stitching now and then will result presently In yard or SO oi hemsttched flouncing. which will be most useful when lingerie making Is ir order. Yards of ruffling may be hem. med In this way and the occupation prove pleasant pastlme, which other. wise would be tedious work.

CAKE IS SPOILED

Because inferior ingredients are used, such as rancid butter, inferior sugar, damp flour and doubtful eggs.
 Because either the butt sr is insuffic- iently beaten with the sugar or rub- bed into the flour, or the eggs are not beaten enough
 Because the mixture is beaten after the flour is added, whereas all that should be done before.
 The management of the oven Is not understood and the cakes are either too dark or too pale.
 Because the cakes are not carefully tested to make sure that they are cooked
 The cakes are either left in the tin or put flat on the table to cool; where as they should be placed on a sieve or tilted up against something, so that the steam can easily escape.

SUMMER COLDS

The summer cold is nuisance, ana one which 1t is sometimes ,ard to get rid of in the usual way. Whenever you contract a summer :old, before resorting to drugs try this process: If able, go out in the open hlr, breathe copiously and deeply and slowly for about twenty times, repeating the op- eration every hour until cured. If unable to go out, wrap yourself up In blanket, even on the hots1st kind of a day, and then open all the doors and windows and then do just AS directed above. Some persons, having had q summer cold for six weeks, have got rid of 1t by this process and colds newly contracted have also teen cured in this way. Therefore, everywhere try and cultivate full and frequent lung inflation by breathing clear out, clear in and low down--thlt Is, make all your breathing as when taking q long breath. This will haze tend- ency to throw off the mds.e material at the pores and revitaile the blood thus imparting much wanted energy to the system.

One subscriber says he is mighty
glad October 1st is near by as the
talks with subscribers will soon be
over. He may be glad but we are
"gladder.
We don't claim to be error proof and
if error appears in your account you
will find US ready to correct it. We
find it impossible to make less than
about one error in every 100 accounts,
and any bookkeeper who says he
doesn't make errors, or any persons
who claim they don't, can't get job
in this Office. We doubt the truth of
their tatement and should therefore
doubt their veracity in other things.
We don't mean by this that we do not
take pains and every precaution but
our books contain about 5000 accounts
and among them are 26 Smiths, l6
Grays, 13 Youngs, IL Wilson's, nine

GAINS GREAT FAVOR
Miss Verne in Barton Recital Receives
Great Applause

Few realized what they were miss
ing when they failed to attend the re-
cital Of Miss Verne in Seaver's hall
Friday night Those who did attend
little realized the character of the
artist till they had heard her play, and
without exception all pronounced her
marvellous, wonderful. Comment has
been of the most fattering nature and
those who came miles to hear her
went away feeling fully repaid. 1t is
difficult to find words to express the
wonder of the versatility of the piano
under such hands and the almost un-
bounded enthusiasm of the audience
was the best possible testimony of
appreciation. Miss Verne and her
manager. Mr.. Smith, will soon go to
New York, where the season will be
opened. The people Of Barton are
very grateful both to Mr.. Smith and
to Miss Verne for the recital and We
wish them success during the season.
Mrs. Joseph N. Webster, who has
had exceptional privileges in hearing
the best IN music, writes the editor as
follows: 'The piano is not my favorite
instrument. and piano recital not my
choice Of musical entertainments. And
yet | sat entranced, the whole even
ing, during the playing of Miss Verne
wishing that each number could be
prolonged or repeated. And the rea-
son is this, such nearness of perfec-
tion in any line of art is of absorbing
interest to me. After hearing such
masters of the pianoforte as Anton
Rubenstein, Ignace Pederewski, Ra-
fael Joseffy, Josef Hoffman and many
others, l expected to be drawing COM
parisons unfavorable to the artist of
the evening, but found no room in my
thoughts for criticism, for they were
filled with joy and uplift at the dis
covery of new star of equal magni-
tude. And what a wonderful privi-
lege to hear so skillful an artist in our
own home town. Now shat our enthu-
siasm is kindled for the highest and
best in the way of entertainments,
let US turn out in large numbers this
Wednesday, evening at 7 80 at the
new school building, to arrange with
our lecture committee, for high class
entertainments which shall be of the
same ennobling character as hereto
fOre.'

Changes at tie Peerless.

Several important changes have
been made at the local plant of the
Peerless Co., as we'll as at the other
factories of the company. For some
time the company have contemplated
the change but only last week when ?.
A. johnson Of Newport was here was
the final change made. This change
makes each factory more of special
ty branch and therefore makes the
possible output of each branch more
with less expense. This last change
takes the making of nightrobes from
this factory to Newport, N. H., and
leaves the manufacture Of corset
covers, chemises and drawers almost
exclusively to the Barton factory.
The plant will turn out more value in
goods but not so great a variety. The
change has brought about some
changes in the help employed. c.. E..
Buswell Jr. will go to Newport, N. H.,
to take the foremanship of that fac
tory in place of J. w. Goad who went
there year ago and now closes his
labors with the company. Miss Alice
Newton will also return to Newport
to take her former position there as
forelady of the nightrobe department.

leased from the shipping department. OF

wood says that orders are picking up
every day and that a sharp winter
trade is expected.

Local Horses Win Morgan Prizes at
State Fair

Several local Morgan horses won
money at the state fair last week.
The display of the Mountain View
stock farm of East Burke was con-
sidered the best Of any at the fair and
they took many prizes. c. l. Morse
took first money with General Clifford
in the class for best horse with four
of his get. He also took third money
in the championship class. H. d.
,Beebe with Willoughby Morgan took
first prize in four-year -olds and up
and first in. championship class. F. S.
Whitcher took first prize with Billy
Root in the three-year-old Morgan
class and the second in the old type
Morgan class. A. F. Phillips took
first prize with his Morgan sucker.

gans and it is doubted if so many good
Morgans can be found in any othe r
mart of Vermont
