story was done, but the words sounded
like beautiful song.
"The carriage Is below. madame" The
maid spoke at the door, and she was much
surprised indeed.
The woman on the door beside the small
bed glanced up. Her arms were full of

''The carriage" she said, as If she had

Which Boys and

I to cut out the windows. You may simu
late them by FASTING cross strips of papel
for the large divisions Of the panes. The
French villa windows should be long ones
which open on the terrace.
Paper of different colors can be used to
represent the window blinds, veranda:
and chimneys of all your buildings. II
you want to make your house more per
feet in detail you can cut noofs of card
board in the different shapes shown in the
pictures which you are copying and put
them on top of the boxes. The boxes are
used upside down to represent the rooted
house.
The lawn of the country estate may be
simulated by the soft green moss, which
is more velvety than any greensward. Do
not put the lawn down until you have fin
ished your house, SO that it will keep
fresh longer. You can cut away paths
from the moss and fill them in with gravel,
or you can make the gravel paths of strips
of yellow paper laid over the moss. When
you cannot get the moss, green blotting
paper or tissue paper does very well to
represent the lawn.
Summer houses, arbors, &C., can be
made of bark, and If you are very in
genious you can also make little pieces Of
garden furniture of the bark. When you
are building cabin for the woods, instead
of papering or painting the box to repre-
sent the brown sides of the cabin you can
nail strips Of bark on and the effect will
be very good-much better than the paper
Two slabs of bark can be made to form
the roof also. Only few small tacks
are needed to hold the bark in its place on
the sides of the box.
Bright colored flowers can be made of
tissue paper in pink, red and blue, and it
is only necessary to twist little pieces of
the paper together and fasten them to-
wires which are thrust into a piece of
cardboard, so that all the flowers stand
up. The wires can be wound with green
paper. To make the vines that are to
run over the summer house and the villa,
long pieces of tissue paper cut in irregular
scallops are very good. If you want toI
make running rose, fasten a little
twisted piece of pink paper among the
green vines.
Twigs may be used to make an arborI
over which the rose or vines may Chamber.
1t is also possible to make a summer house

there is lots of fun also in max
ing miniature garden, house. grounds
&c, in country place where there is nc
seashore sand to play with.
There are two ways of making you
stage house and grounds: you may make
them entirely of artificial materials,
paper, pasteboard, &c, and color them
with paint, or of bark, twigs, moss and
and fields, The latter is far more inter.
esting for boys and girls who are living
where they can get things of this sort.
OF course it depends on how ambitious
your miniature estate. 1t is good idea
not 30 start out with too big notions of
what you are going to make, or you may
get discouraged before you are finished
A very good way to begin is to get a large
box, such as clothing Is sent home init
may be any shape at all-and use this for
the foundation of the estate. The box
should be shallow and you do not need
the lid. Place the box in a corner of the
veranda, where it will net be interfered
with and where you can work on it when
it rains or you are tired of more exciting
play.
Before starting to make the country
place which Is to fit into the box decide
on what sort of place you want it to be.
Perhaps you would like very elegant
place with fine mansion, highly Guilt
waited grounds and flower beds, gravelled
walks, fountain. arbors and shade trees,
or perhaps you would prefer woodland
cabin, with moss covered grounds, thick
underbrush, little lake, for trout fishing
and nothing but little foot path to mark
the way through the wilderness, or per-
haps, better than all these, you would like
an old fashioned white farmhouse, with
an old fashioned well sweep, an arbor
covered with roses at the back door, red
barn filled with cattle, and chickens play
ing over the front lawn.
You have only to decide which one you
want, for all three take about the same
amount of time and trouble to make.
Whichever you decide on, you can make
the houses and barns and other buildings
of small boxes. If the box is not the
proper color for your house it Is easy to
paint 1t with water color paints or to paste
paper over it. Brick paper comes of

The cabin should be smaller than the

villa is TO select q picture from paper or

London, Dec. 3.-The protocol warn

Prior to this there had been a long
sitting of the Turkish council of min

Apparently the Greek delegate did
not sign the protocol. At present
nothing is definitely known on this
Point nor of the terms of the arms .

The refusal of Greece to sign the
armistice is susceptible of different
interpretations In the first place, as
a tactic armistice has been in exist
ance for more than week, already. il
is not impossible, that the negotia'
tons may have served, to bring about
an agreement on the general prinei-
pies of the peace terms, such aS
would promise the speedy arrange

ference meets as is now expected, in
London. In this case, the fact that
Greece is standing out from the armis-
tice protocol would not be of great
Importance.

tuted his high official position to per-

ARMISTlcE PROVISIONS.

London, Dec 3.-The terms of the
armistice between the Turkish and
Bulgarian armies as accepted by Bull
garia provide that the truce shall con-
tinue during the whole period of peace
negotiations.
Turkey is to have the right of re-
victualling all her besieged fortresses.
and all the detached bodies of Otto
man troops remaining in Macedonia
and elsewhere, as well as the Turkish
populations in the various parts of
the theater of war.
Turkey is to have the right of re-
victualling her fortresses, troops and
population by way of the Adriatic and
Ionian seas in addition to the ordinary
available routes. The allied Balkan
nations are to furnish safe conduct
for the revictualling parties and the
Ottoman conveys are to be permitted
TO pass, if necessary, through the
forces of the allies.
The blockade of the Aegean and
Adriatic coasts of European Turkey
is to be raised.
The terms are generally regarded as
generous. but in View of the great diff
ficulty which Turkey necessarily will
find in revictualling her scattered
forces their practical effect probably
will not be very important.
The face that the negotiations for
the armistice We're regarded as an in
tegral part of the peace negotiations
also helped Turkey to secure more
favorable terms than would have been
granted under other circumstances.
The bitterness of feeling between
Greece and Bulgaria was reflected
today. at the Greek legation in Lon
don. The Grecian minister claimed
that the action of the Greek fleet was
the one decisive factor of the whole
war. Without the presence of our ships
Turkey would have been able to bring
her best troops from Asia Minor and
to land them at Dedeaghatch and flank
the Bulgarian armies, thus rendering
their magnificent victory quite impos-
sible.''
