WAS LOVING THE SPARE ROOM
Baby Remarks Led Mother to Fix UP
the Rest Of the House for
the Family.

A mother was often puzzled by the
request Of her little daughter to be al
lowed to go up to the spare bedroom
and stay few whiles," as she child
ishly phrased It, The tiny four-year-
old was the youngest In a crowded
household of children and grown peo-
pie, and the press of daily work left
little time for esthetic culture. Only
In one spot had the mother spent time
ment. and that was because the guest
room was SO little used that II seemed
best to bestow the one or two nice
things there to save them from rough
usage 1t was a dainty green and
white room, and, like Bunyans Cham
Der of Peace, 1t looked toward the sun
rising.
One morning, in the midst OF the
rush and scramble to 'straighten out
things" 1t occurred to her to follow
the little one, and see what she might
be doing. She peeped in at the door
and paused in wonder. There on the
floor in square of softened sunshine
lay the missing baby, look of su-
preme content ON her chubby face, all
the irritation and crossness of the
morning gone entirely out of 1t.
What are you doing here?" the
mother had It on her tongue to say.
but stopped and only looked the ques-
tion.
rs just loving this lovely room!"
said the child. smiling her answer. "It
feels nice. muvver."
That mother pondered the matter
for a day or two and then threw open
the guest room for general family
using, whenever guests we're not in It,
Moreover, she began to brighten the
rest of the house with little beauty
touches.-Mother's Magazine.

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 experience

One Of the most frequent demands
made upon architects and builders is
for house of moderate cost, yet one
that will satisfy persons of taste and
refinement and come up to what they
feel home ought to be. With the
advancing scale of prices both for
building materials Of all kinds and for
the skilled labor required to fashion
them into a permanent residence, the
problem of satisfying this demand
seems to become more and more diff
f1cult OF solution.
The writer has given a great deal
Of study to this matter and has come
to the conclusion that the way out lies
not in going without, as so many fam
lilies do-continuing indefinitely the
old, unsatisfactory renting life, moth
ing is to be found in running far into
debt-also as many do-contracting
obligations far beyond their safe abil-
ity and mortgaging the future happi-
ness and safety OF the home.
No, the problem is rather one for
the architect to meet, unwilling as
they usually are to help much along
lines of economy. Architects ordinar-
ily are paid a certain percentage,
ranging from 8 to 12 per cent, on
the total cost OF labor and materials
entering into the construction; SO it
is only natural If they seem a trifle
uninterested and lukewarm about hold
ing down the expense. Nevertheless,
1t is a fact that the skilled architect,

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
NAPoLEoN's FEEBLE SON.

One would suppose that the
son Of q man like Napoleon Bon
aparte would inherit at least
some Of the strong qualities OF
his father, yet such was not the
case with the Duke Of Reloh-
stadt, the only child Of Napoleon
and Marie Louisa. He was born
at Paris March 20, 1911, and
was given the proud title,
"KIng of Rome" That Ma
poIeon expected great things Of
him Is evidenced by his exul-
tsnt exclamation, "Now beens
the proudest epoch of my
relgni" -Four years later the
emperor left rance forever.
Marie Louisa TOOK the boy and
returned to Austria, and the fa-
ther never saw him again. He
grew up Into a feeble manhood
physically, and gave no evil
dence OF possessing the genius
of his lIlustrious parent. He
was made Duke of Reichstadt,
and entered the Austrian army
In early youth. He reached the
rank Of lieutenant colonel, but
this was probably by reason OF
birth rather than of merit. In
1882 he was seized with "qulck
consumption" and died July %
Of that year. Thus the boy in
whose birth such great hopes
were centered failed utterly to
fulfill them. To his credit be II
said, however, that so far as
known he was a youth of good
character, studious and amiable.
IL is said that the deprivation
II the society Of his boy was
the heaviest cross the emperor
had to bear n his exile.

Hazel HoisingtOn, who lives in Adri-

very likely named Jocko, and Jocko
wanted to have a holiday. He didn't
ask anybody, but just watched his
chance and hoped out of the house.
He was gone a week, and Hazel Hoi-
sington had decided that he would neY-
er come back when a deputy sheriff
discovered something in a tree. He
thought it was an owl and was going
to shoot it. but just in time he saw
that it was a monkey. He determined
to capture the monkey, and so he called
all the other deputy sheriffs, and they
gave chase. The monkey made good
time through the treetops, but the
trees gave out at last, and he made
for the chimney of a deserted house.
There he was caught and put under
arrest and taken thus TO his mistress.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Game of Flowers.

There is game similar to London
bridge" called flowers" To play
it two children stand opposite each
other and raise their joined hands.
Those forming the ring pass under.
while all keep saying urNsinging, suit
ing the action to the words:
We're looking round for roses red,
Roses red, roses red;
We're looking round for roses red,
And we've found one here.
At the word here" the raised arms
come down and inclose the head Of a
child who happens at that moment to
be passing underneath their hands.
Then all sing:
We've found one here; we've found one
here,
A red ripe rose, a red ripe rose;
We've found one here; we've found one
here,
And We are happy.
The rose then takes the place of one
of the two who caught her. and she
calls out daisy Daisy then becomes
the word to use instead of rose in the
verses. Every one caught calls out the
name of some flower. which is substi-
tuted in the song. The game goes on
until every child has had a chance to
be caught The rest of the game pro-
ceeds as in London bridge"

Aprons for wear in the kitchen should
be all envelOping. They can be made
of Bingham, percale or white lawn; but,
however made, they should completely
cover the skirt and should have a
large bib. A ruf1le about the bottom
of the apron protects the hem of the
dress, as it catches and wards off any
thing which is spilled or dropped.
Kitchen aprons need not be unattrac-
tive because they are big and service
able. They can be made of white self
figured percale or madras, edged with
blue or pink or any other color. A
folded bias lawn band can be folded
over the edges of the apron like a
binding or scallOping braid, which is
sold in many colOrs and styles and can
