A very substantial house, and one
that looks wen, may be built from this
plan. It is good-sized house, 32 feet
wide by SO feet deep, designed to
please those old-fashioned people
and there are good many Of them
who like a large, roomy house and are
willing to invest money enough to
build 1t and to furnish it afterward. A
great many people, after having built
house, feel dissatisfied with the size
Of the rooms. This IS because they
are not accustomed to reading plans
drawn to a scale. It is dificult for a
person without experience in reading
drawings to get a correct idea Of
either the size or shape Of room,
even when the figures are given

but when It was done she felt so dis

other. This time she selected the lot,
had the long grass cut from it and
hauled away She then had a load OF
bricks brought and employed a
builder to lay out the two floor plans,
full size, on the ground, the first floor
and the second floor, making the par

doors and setting up the window

Properly to Mix ingredients Is the
Whole Secret Of Success.

garlic. Also rub 9TH the garlic the
cusry end Of a piece Of French bread.

three-fourths Of a tablespoonful OF
salt, black pepper and Hungarian
paprica sifted together Pour in two
fun tablespoonfuls of the best olive
oil. Mix thoroughly with silver fork
or spoon and add one tablespoonful
Of lemon juice. When the oil and
lemon juice are thoroughly blended
add scant tablespoonful Of vinegar
and stir until the mixture is thor

for FIVE minutes. Drain the dressing
from the pepper and pour it over the
crisp salad, serve in five minutes Of
longer. This recipe provides enough
for two individual portions Of salad.

Not that she was different from other
women in this respect. but she had so
much Of it that it surprised many
young men.
One day young Robinson went to
call on her. Young Robinson was also
very sensible, He and Miss Elizabeth
we're well matched. They could talk
together on any number Of subjects,
and they knew just where and when
to stop. just what to say and what not
to say
There had been a story about a per-
son known as Jack the Kisser. who
bothered many young women and girls
In the streets by catching them and
kissing them. Miss Elizabeth said
that she did not think that a girl could
be kissed by any man unless she
wanted him to kiss her. Robinson
said that a man could kiss any wom-
an by force Miss Elizabeth said that
that was all nonsense.
"In tell you what we'll do" said
Robinson. You are certain that a
man cannot kiss a woman unless she
is party to the kissing am certain
that q man can We, you and I, will
try it"
Miss Elizabeth said that she didn't
see any harm in that. 50 Robinson be-

minutes struggle. she. seeing that II
was useless to combat him further,
gave in. and let him kiss her all he
wanted to- When it was all over Miss

Prizes have been conferred by the
Royal Academy for the Graphic Arts
of Leipsic for artistic visiting cards.
A correspondent in that city writes
to a Berlin paper: This opens a
new field for artists, and its develop
ment will be followed with interest.
Visiting cards. except for style Of type
and size, are always the same. In
every country certain peculiarities
may be observed, but a card is card.
Now, under the protection of Crown
Princess Cecilie and Princess Johann
George of Sachsen, there may be a
change. The artistic visiting card may
become the companion Of the book
plate, and the exhibition which will
result from the Leipsic offer may fur
nish as much interesting material as
an ex-libls display. An illustrated
visiting card 1t will IN some instances

some especial features to recommend

best stairways ever built. It is a

Special to the Demorcat:-Wash-
ingtt =, ID G., Feb 15:-In q re-
cen Hearing before tho commit
tee on agriculture %concering the
Appalachian Forest Reserve there
were q number Of eloquent adj
dresses made by delegates from
several states, appealing to the
committee for a favorable report,
and urging the need Of such lcgis-
lation for the country. This bill
will provide for an appropriation
to secure this reservation in order
that the timber of the country
may be saved from devastation.
In connection with this movement
tho valuable service contributed
by Senator Latimcr of South Car.
Dina is Of noteworthy mention.
From the record it is asccrtaincd
chat Senator Latimcr in co-opcra-
with Senator Simmons of North
Carolina began as pioneers, to
Stir favorable sentiment for this
work. 1t may be well said that
the prcsc, t agitation of this sub
jcct is due largely to the activity
Of Senator Latimcr in pointing
out the necessity Of such lcgisla-
ton. 1t has taken much though,
unusual tact, and very considcra-
bic time to bring into the serious
consideration OF the leading states
man Of the nation. We arc privi-
legged to assert That the attitude of
the pending measure permits us to
venture that at present it is in a
most promising light for passage
at this session. AS preliminary
part Of this work there has been
under way since last session a sur
vcy Of the proposed tracts Of land
to be incorporated in this Rcscr-
vation. 1t was Senators Simmons
and Latimcr, who by their quiet
forccful method of work a the
last session Of congress secured a
sufficient appropriation to have
this done. which in itself is quito a
victory. Hence we arc Of the
opinion that if Senator Latimcr
should not succeed at this session
in bringing about the desired end,
such legislation will at any rate,
ultimately be enacted into law.
