are four inches square, reinforced
with twisted steel rods. On top of
this concrete and terra-cotta floor, a
one-inch coat of cinder concrete is
laid on these strips, being nailed down
securely. For the ceiling finish, the
wall plaster is applied directly to the
underside of the concrete beams and
the tiles. This makes a floor that is
thoroughly fireproof, very warm, and
not excessively heavy.
The roof of this house may be con-
structed in a number of ways; yet it
should be made fireproof, since the
roof is really the most vulnerable part
of the house. Green slate would be
very appropriate, and would make
beautiful contrast with the cement
walls. The roof in this design is
rather prominent, and, all things con-
sidered, slate would probably be the
most satisfactory.
One of the newer forms of roof con-
struction that might be used, consists
of corrugated steel sheets resting on
a light rteel framework. The CORFU
cations are deep enough to prevent
any bending of the sheets between
supports. Waterproofed cement plas-
ter is spread over the sheets in a
coat about one inch thick, completely

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
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A Radford, No. 17S West

The accompanying illustrations
show house design especially adapt
ed to the needs of suburban or coun-
try building The requirements for
a dwelling house for such location
are different in good many respects
from those in a city. More attention
should be paid to the matter of max
ing the house as nearly fireproof as
possible; for in the country, as well
as in our smaller towns and suburbs,
there is little or no fire protection.
Accordingly, If a building once takes
fire, nothing, as a usual thing, can
be done except to watch it burn. OF
course, the fire risk from adjoining
buildings is much greater in thickly
settled communities; but the fire
fighting apparatus which is quickly
available more than makes up for this
extra hazard
The only wise and logical thing for
a man to do when he plans to invest
a large amount of money in subur-
ban or country home, is to build it
fireproof. With the modern building
materials now available, it is very
easy to do this; and the cost, although
considerably more than for frame, is
certainly not excessive when the fire
protection, the enduring character OF
the house, etc., are taken into consid.

die with narrow ribbon and finish
with pretty bow.
The girl away at college would sure
ly be overjoyed with a shoe bag,
which she can hang inside her closet
door. The shoe bag should be half
the length of the door with compart-
ments for shoes, slippers and rubbers
and a long compartment on one side
for an umbrella, and on the other for
books not in use. The materials used
should be heavy denim with the COM
partments bound in tape.
A pleasing notion would be to make
any articles for the girls away at col
lege in their college colors. A piece
of gay colored cretonne bound all
around with a pretty braid would also
be acceptable as a trunk cover.
Dear to every girls heart are pretty
dress accessories. The new Robes
pierre collars with jabots of frilly lace
certainly will be welcome addition to
your friends wardrobes. The collars
are usually made of black satin with
the ruf1es Of lace about two inches
wide.
Chic boudoir caps are made of cir
cles of shadow lace 18 inches wide
with soft .ruffies of narrowliace around
the crown. The ruff1es should be made
in the back wider than in the front
to give the effect of Dutch bonnet
The cap il decorated with little pink
rosebuds and band of pink ribbon.
Exquisite La France roses are made
out of folded satin ribbon in three-inch
lengths. Turn the ends back at the cor
nefs to form the petals. Group the
petals together and join to a wire
stem which has been twisted with mar
row green satin.
A natural looking bunch of violets
is formed of tiny bows of twisted vfo-
let ribbon tied with green silk wire.
Hat pins, collar pins and buckles
are wonderfully effective when COW
cred with ribbon roses made Of mar
row folded ribbon grouped closely to-
gether If you prefer you can use
satin cherries made Of tiny circles of
satin filled with cotton, with petals
of green ribbon.
The girl who dances will find much
pleasure in receiving a pretty pair of
beaded satin slipper bows to match
her party slippers.
For the traveller small cretonne
pillow with pockets on one side for
magazines and newspapers would be
a convenience.
A set of envelopes of white linen to
hold the necessary articles, would al
so be useful gift. If you have time
you could buttonhole the flap in seal
lops. One envelope for handkerchiefs,
one for the night dress, one lined In
rubber for the toilet articles, and one
large one for the extra waist. The
pieces you have left of the linen you
can utilize for napkin rings. scalloped
and finished with monogram, or for
boudoir lamp shades, which are much
admired when inserted with medal
ions of fine lace.
For the invalid thoughtful little
gift would be cover for the drinking
glass. A glass circle the size of the
top of the ordinary glass is required;
crochet a cover over the glass In a
simple stitch in two colors of mercer
lied cotton. In the center sew a cro-
cheted ring for a handle.
A tray with a narrow wooden bor-
der and brass handles could have a
pretty piece Of embroidered linen un-
der the glass.

Journalistic Erenehmen.

M. Jean Richepin demands that the
French academy shall admit journal
lists to its ranks as well as mere
writer's of books" The journalist, says
NJ. Richepin, writes history while it is
happening, and this, if anything, is a
higher art than writing history after it
has happened But this contemporary
history must be written with absolute
regard for the TRUTH and here we
seem to have stipulation that would
considerably narrow.the field of choice
The French newspaper gives very lit
lie news at all, but it has never been
accused of inaccuracy in what it does
give, Newspapers elsewhere give
great deal of news, but only very lit
tie of it is true. By all means let the
truthful reporter be honored by Of
fetal recognition. 1t is the only honor
he is ever likely to get. But it viii be
necessary to catch him first.

What indian Summer Ia.

Indian summer is name used to
describe short season Of pleasant
weather in the Central and Atlantic
coast states. 1t usually comes either
in October or November. There is no
definite time for Indian summer, but
as a rule it comes after the first severe
frost or series of frosts and storms.
1t is the season that is welcome be-
cause it comes after everyone has set
tied down to expect real winter, and
Indian summer always holds winter off
for few more weeks. The season is
characterized by almost cloudless
skies, calm or light airs, hazy at
mosphere and mild temperature in the
daytime, but rather cool at night.
