AN ARTISTIC HOME F(

Harmony of colors
 The rooms on the ground floor, which open out of one another, should have the trim stained all in one color; like wise the walls should be tinted in one color. This uniformity in scheme is never monotonous and gives refined and 1ivable effect
 In the house illustrated, the two front bedrooms may be converted into one bedroom by emitting the partition indi- cated by the dotted lines. Bedrooms should always have light and air on two sides of the room where possible. Cross ventilation of this sort will make the rooms very much cooler in the summer time.
 Easement Windows
 Easement windows may be used freely throughout the house except in the kitchen. It is not advisable to use them in the kitchen, as there Is some difficulty where the flies gather in large numbers on the screens. Basement windows should invariably be built in groups, so that they may be more easily washed. They should, of course, always be hinged at the side to open out%
 This house has been planned for the housekeeper, that her work may be as easy as possible. She needs her time for herself and her children. The Boy and His Mother
 Deep, absorbing and tender in its boy. Her all-enfolding, self sacrificing,

ity toward those to whom 1t is definitely due; respect for authority; courage to bear disappointments consideration for others; the sense of how each must do his duty for the good of all The most beautiful characteristics of manly na- ture are strength and tenderness, and these are cultivated in the home associa- tions and through mothers influence : A boy should contribute toward the comfort and pleasure ofcveryone in tllc home by being cheerful, reasonable, cour- teous, punctua1 His mother teaches him that personal neatness and orderliness are essentials in home life She sees that his own room is an encouragement to neatness. His tennis racquet, bat, school books, hat, clothing, or other belongings are not to be scattered about, but put each in its place.
 Character Building
 Character building is helped by having
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-17

home occupations, reading aloud, games, talks and music.
 She will make home a hospitable place, where hey boys friends-boys and girls-wi1l feel it a privilege and delight to be invited to- share inno-' cent amusements. The sacrifice of lit- tie space will go far toward making in not letting boy think he is being kept at home because he is not capable of resisting outside temptationl With wholesome evening occupations for his thoughts and hands the moments glide away and bedtime comes.
 Mother and Son
 A manly boy thinks it privilege and comfort to go to his mother with anything that has worried him. As he confdes in her sympathy and counsel he has sure sense of relief. A manly boy has chivalrous sense of protection for his mother His loyalty and love would not grieve or disappoint her. He would shield her from trouble, or share with her in her sorrows.
 In her boy mother hopes to find com fort as life goes on, pleasure in his ca- reer, pride in his success. She teaches him that thequietest, humb1est life nobly lived. has its influence, its happiness in content- ment and in the knowledge of duty per. formed, clear conscience, an unims peachable integrity. She teaches him that the best preparation for manhood itS in making each day worth while, in doing earnestly and faithfully the little things. in work or study; in innocent, joyous sport, and in kind or helpful acts, and in always choosing the right.
 A mothers task is not easy-a task worth doing is never easy. She needs concentration in thought and prayer. Often she may be discouraged in her labor of love and duty, but true mother would not exchange her experiences oi toll and weariness, joy and sorrow, for life of effortless ease

The Ground Plan
 The floor arrangement of a dwelling house Is not determined merely by the fancies and notions of either the owner or the architect In approaching the problem 1t IS always necessary to be- come thoroughly familiar with the char acteristics of the building site; it's 1oca- ton as to the points of the compass, its contour and grade, the placing of the trees and it's relation to adjoining prop erty.
 The living-room must, of course, be as large as possible, with light on three sides, if 1t can be obtained.
 The Entrance,
 The entrance need not be on the front of the building, contrary to ideas which sometimes prevail. With side entrance and especially the side porch, much bet ter view is obtained from the front windows in the iving-room than If the entrance and veranda were on the front of the building.
 In arranging your floor plan be care- ful to so place the dining-room that it may open up good vista from the liv- ihg-room. The. plan should not be a. segregation of individual rooms, but rather an arrangement suggesting one large room, treated sectionally for the different apartments. Omit all the doors possible between living rooms.
 This is more economical and secures more livable results. Do not under any circumstances have kitchen larger than 1t need be. After you have decided on the size of your kitchen, you may safely reduce 1t ten per cent. more.

to help. A boy who is kept busy seldom gets into mischief.
 A boys heart is full and overfowing. He needs someone who will listen to his condolences. If he is repelled and finds himself alone, he becomes fretful, indo- lent, or worse. His affairs are not mon sense." A good mother never says, Run away. I am busy" She listens, en- courages. Important discoveries may be made in these outpourings.
 She gives sympathy, enters into his feelings, sees things from his point of view. If he, tells of something which proves that he is at fault, she does not reprinand at the time, because this will check further condolences She gives her attention quietly, tells him she is glad he has confded in her, and that she will talk of it again with him.
 Companions and Reading
 If mother has insight she can solve many problems. She is interested in her boys sports, collections, his school and companions. The choice of his com panions should not be left to chance. It is well if they are from families known to his parents-boys and girls who have
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-17

thusiasm for noble lives; books of adven- ture, travel and exploration will teach endurance and perseverance. If good literature is loved in the home, if there is supply of interesting books and good collections of verse, boy will acquire wholesome taste in reading.
 If he has a natural taste for books he has joy of his own. If he has not the taste, at least he can be kept away from undesirable reading. He can be given the chance to be interested in good things and to form his ideals by them. The Guiding, Not the Driving, Hand
 When a boy is very young he should not be allowed to go out in the evening When he grows older 1t is not wise to use coercion. A mothers heart can only follow her boy in hope and prayer when she sees his life detaching itself little from home. Nothing is gained by lec- lures or queries, nothing by nagging or scolding. The surest dependence is to make home attractive.
 If possible, there should be a room where he can have his boy friends and be amused with photography, candy-pulling, popping corn; or the, living room of the home must not be considered too good for this. A mother must not be too much interested in her sewing in the evening, or father with his newspaper. The evening may be a pleasant and profitable part of the day. A mothers tact will provide
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-17

patient devotion is the greatest blessing he can have, provided there is united to it the honest desire to fulfill her obli- gations. True affection does not mean weak or foolish indulgence, but the intelligent love by which a mother seeks to develop in her boy the strong and hardy qualities of manliness.
 The impressions made in boyhood may be enduring inspira rations through life If boyhood is happy, there will be happi- ness years afterwards in the memory of it. The key of many of the great moral problems IS. in mothers hands. A mother once wrote in her journal, Moth ing keeps the heart so fresh and young, saves 1t from bitterness through the cares and disappointments of life, as the daily enjoyment of happy home. May 1 always keep this in remembrance and do everything that lies in my power to make home the happiest spot on earth for my children"
 Love the Leading Force
 Characteristics of the warm-hearted days of boyhood are a boys love for his mother, love for truth and justice, love of God and beautiful things. The rec ognition of these facts may help parents to guide boy.
 A mother is her boys earliest ideal of womanhood Through her he learns to respect womanhood Her ideals and standards will be his through all time. If her standards of life are high and pure and noble they will be reflected in the words she speaks, the deeds she does, Ill the ordering of her household and in her conscientious life.
