we can get and still be on earth.
The bungalow we show here has a
charm about it. The simple fact about
it is that it is honey and gives the i'm
preston of simplicity and comfort.
An abundance of light is offered from
bay windows and the arrangement of
other windows about the structure.
This bungalow is 81 feet wide and 40
feet long. All the rooms are on one
floor and there are no stairs to climb.
This fact will appeal to the house
keeper who has to take many steps up
and down stairs during the day. Yet
there is no crowding and the rooms
are arranged with the special idea OF
convenience. AS matter Of fact,
any house should be planned first with
the view of ease in taking care Of the
house work The house should be
planned from the inside and not from
the outside There is a good-sized
parlor opening off the vestibule and
back of this is the dining and living
room. The kitchen is back of the din
ing room and here cupboard can be
provided in lieu of pantry. There
are two chambers and the bathroom is
conveniently located between them.

HERE'S A NEW FAD
MAKING OF HANDKERCHIEFS Is
FASCINATING WORK.
Sir, Who Is Adept With Her Needle
May Easily Provide Herself win
a Supply of Handsome
Ones.

Handkerchief making is fascinating
work, and any girl who sews neatly
may easily provide herself with sup
ply which will be a matter OF prloe
to herself and of envy to her less In
dustrious associates.
French or Irish linen of the finest
quality should be used for any nano-
kerchiefs destined to carry elaborate
embroideries, and the greatest care
should be exercised in the cutting OF
the squares. To draw a thread In the
four directions is the only safe way,
as otherwise the delicate material ID
apt to twist and become unmanage-
able.
When Armenian or any other very
fine lace edging is used the handker"
chief need not be hemstitched, al
though infinite care must be devoted
to the hand hemming, as irregularly
set stitches spoil the entire effect OF
the work.
Exceedingly narrow hemstitched
borders are more than ever popular,
and nearly always handkerchiefs so
treated have corners embroidered deli
cately with wreaths, clusters or semi
detached butterfly and flower designs.
Sometimes only one corner is decorat-
ed with a rather large and elaborate
spray pattern, or a medallion will in
close a small initial. Only when there
Is no other decoration should a mono
gram be employed.
Fancy lace stitches are blended with
the embroidery patterns, as in the case
Of the lily pads, which show petals Of
fine netting, and the butterflies, with
transparent wings. Sometimes a girl
who embroiders indifferently but sews
with extraordinary neatness appliques
lace motifs upon the corner of hand
kerchief and then cuts away the ma
terial from the under side, but this is
difficult to accomplish, and a slip of
the scissors means ruin to the entire
piece of work.
Scallop borders are exceedingly
dainty, but that sort of work takes
an immense amount of time and is so
heavy in proportion to the fabric that
1t Is easily torn. The better way is to

Some sea creatures and few land

for them to die. It is stated, for in

a whales mouth, which are said to
increase regularly each year, are an
indication of the creatures age, as is
believed, then 400 years is not an un-
usual lifetime for a whale. Even the
common ring trout lives from 80 to SO
years.
The natives of India believe that
elephants live to be 300 years old.
One was kept in captivity $50 years,
and the age of the animal at the time
of his capture was not known. Camels

In diaphanous scarfs those Of black
lace and two colors of chiffon are d.

shawls in black and white are to be
found just now much reduced. One
to be made at home is of fine black
net the full width. This can be en-
broidered over the whole surface with
jet disks and spangles or the jet can
be arranged as deep border across
each end and a narrow one along the
lengths.
The scarf of black and white fou

are going to do a 100-yard dash in

fore-and-aft race Is that the chap who
faces the front invariably tries to
carry the boy facing the rear off his

forgets that it is impossible for his

fast as he runs forward, so the
chances are there will be a good
many trip-ups and the race will be
