the hostesses, one presided at each
table. Everything in the way OF china
and floral decorations were simply per

with the name of the person who was
to occupy the chair but besides the
name, there was q conundrum. Each
guest had the privilege OF guessing
her own first and II she failed 1t was

The one who que. ed the largest
number OF conundrums received the

American Children,

There are two classes of rich Amer
lean children. One is never heard of
To this belong those children who are
being brought up on sensible, healthy,
simple life plan, being trained by Eng
fish governesseS and tutors, who come
from country where the training of
children is a very fine art These
youngsters will grow into strong
wholesome men and women with
healthy bodies and alert minds, eager
to enjoy those pleasures and interests
which will be theirs when they grow
old enough to appreciate them The
children of the other class are always
in evidence. They sit through long
performances of ode Goetterdaem-
merung' and 'Elektra," read grown
up hooks, and mimic the world of
their elders to the detriment of their
minds, manners. and bodies What
will the world have to offer these
young people when they grow up?
Every luxury which their elders have
enjoyed they are tasting of in greater
or less degree, and most of the excite
ment as well. They have got so far
away from the simple tastes of child
hood that they can no longer under
stand it's pleasures, while all the edge
has been taken off the amusements to
which their elders look forward.

Mr.. William A. Radford Will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building for the readers Of
this paper. On account Of his wide expe-

To any one alive to the develop
ments in the building world there IS
nothing more striking than the steady
growth Of the quality idea during the
past ten or fifteen years. Where for
merly home builders were satisfied
with makeshift construction and with
the cheap though gaudy effects in
building there has come to be a gen.
eral demand for the best grades OF
material and the most thorough work

permanent structures.

The increased cost of labor and ma
terlals has had something to do with
this, 1t is true, but not so much as is
sometimes thought. No. it is the add

OF quality all the way through that

plumbing and fixtures, modern heat
