An attractive design for six
roomed house OF one and a half sto-
ries. comprising many desirable feat
ures, is shown in the accompanying
perspective and plans. 1t is not very
large; but fortunately, small low-cost
houses often have advantages Iover
larger ones Three Of these advan-
tages are light, sunshine, and air. In
a small house, opposite windows are
necessarily near together; and the
light from one often crosses that OF
another, although they may be in diff,
ferent rooms. Sunshine, OF course,
carries light, and it carries life-giying
properties besides. Light, airy houses
are almost always healthful and cheer
full. In crowded cities, houses offer
ing such advantages are always occu-
pied. while dark, dismal houses often

there are three rooms downstairs and
three rooms upstairs, and they are
arranged to provide great deal OF
comfort and convenience.
When a man starts to build house,
he usually has some particular ideas
in mind that he wishes to have
worked into the plan. Very often
these are not practical. They have
been extracted, as a general thing,
from some other plan, and cannot well
be grated into the new design with.

not have everything in one house. no
matter what its size or the amount OF
money 1t costs. There are natural ad-
yantages that 60 with the environ
ment, which cannot be successfully
transplanted. This is one Of the prin.
cipal reasons why architects are nee
essary. One Of the most difficult prob
lens an architect runs up against is
to prevent owners from injecting into
house plans IDEAS that are not fitting
or practical under existing conditions.

Besides leading both upstairs and
down. 1t gives a grade entrance to
the cellar, side entrance to the
kitchen, and it takes up very little
room.
Downstairs the main feature Is the
dining room. which is large enough to
make comfortable sitting room; and
1t is especially attractive on account
Of the three windows and the crate.
Where a chimney can be SO placed
as to accommodate the furnace in the
cellar, the range in the kitchen and
the crate In the dining room, you get
a large amount OF comfort and satis-
faction with comparatively little ex.
pense. Other advantages In a chin
ney like this are that 1t usually draws
better; 1t climbs out into the upper air
through the peak OF the roof, where 1t
Is better supported by the house and
where 1t is easier to fix the roof
around 1t SO that 1t will not leak. Still
another advantage Is the additional
height, which insures a better draft.
Chimneys like this draw better for
another reason-they are surrounded
by warm rooms, and the fues are
easily heated. Hot air naturally goes
up: SO the ordinary cold draft OF the
chimney is Increased by this natural
phenomenon. All you have to do to
have things right. is to follow natural
laws and take advantage OF them to
promote the end desired.

Let Women Woo the Men

Surely the most foolish of all the
many conventions, says the London
Chronicle, that ruin human joy is the
decree that women must wait pas
sively to be wooed Now. why
should they? Why can't they be nat
ural and honest and show their feel
ings? Why must they be compelled
to act an Indifference quite foreign
to them? Perhaps some of you hold
with Shaw and Shakespeare that they
don't wait to be wooed. Some of
them certainly don't. Generally
speaking, however, few women even
nowadays have the pluck to go dead
against convention OF this sort,
which has such a tremendously strong
hold on the masculine sense of fit
ness.
If woman's charm is to depend on
this idiotic convention that men have
created around her-namely, that she
is perfectly cold, passive negative
creature who waits in a state of sus-
pended animation. as it were. until
man condescends to make her come
alive-the sooner the modern femin.
lists invent some more reasonable ira.

AMETHYST VELVET.

Today's drawing shows rather
pretentious little frock of amethyst
velvet combined with self-tone chif-
fon, the right side of the bodice is
draped to the left and caught with
a gilt knot and tassel. a corner of
this drapery falls below the waist
line and is finished with a similar
tassel. On the right side of the blouse
the velvet forms a short sleeve be-
low which is an undersleeve of paler
chiffon, but on the left side the velvet
has been cut away at the arm-hole
exposing the entire sleeve of chiffon.
The neck outline on the left is follow
ed by a band of gilt passementerie
finished with a pleating of the chif-
fon. The skirt Is untrimmed.

DEVICE TO BRING
HORIZON TO SHIPS

Washingten.-Thro the deve!-
opment of an instrument that practi-
cally will bring the horizon on ship
board, the experts of the naval OBJ
servatory in washington expect to
make it possible for navigators to de-
termine their position at sea any hour
of the day or night.
The impossibility of discovering his
whereabouts when the horizon is OBJ
scure is one of the most serious prob
lens a ship captain or navigating Of
ficer has to face.
UsinO a small gyroscope, with a
tiny mirror maintained at precisely
the same horizontal plane regardless
of the rolling or plunging of the ship
the navigator is supplied with an ar
tificial horizon. After adjusting the
mirror, the observer is enabled by the
use OF the sextant to make accurate
observations regardless of weather
conditions.

A very beautiful coat of blue vel
veteen which combines smartness of
line with practical simplicity is the
subject of today's drawing. There is
a luxurious sweep to this really plain
garment resulting no doubt, from
the broad lines of the collar and
sleeve. The collar which is extreme
ly wide in itself receives additional
breadth from the fold of self-tone
silk Joined to it's edge in a scant ruff
file. The bottom of the coat has a
wider ruffle of the same and the
sleeve is finished by deep putting of
the silk, gathered on its lower edge
close to the arm.

New Screens.

Many of the new screens are ex-
ceedingly beautiful Those of en-
bossed leather are much in demand.
Except in the distinctly Oriental
screens there is a reaction against any
thing sumptuous in decoration. When
covered with the new brocades that
show gold and silver threads inter-
woven in the lovely patterns of old
entime the screens are much to be
desired. There is a slight tendency
to have the material employed for
the screens match the curtains OF

Dresser Cover.

A good way to cover dresser top
is to take a piece of cretonne the
same size as the top and lay over this
a pane of glass the same size. Dust
may be easily and quickly wiped off,
thus dispensing with the linen cover
which must be so often laundered.
Wall paper with a pattern of roses
or violets might be used in place of
the cretonne.

ate an illusion around them is done.
They are encouraged to meet often
but the conditions under which they
meet are as different as can be from
the condition of their future married
life. Does that man ever see that
girl in any kind of negligee, or does
she see him unshaved say? Does he
have any experience of how she will
run house or manage affairs? Does
she have any chance of finding out
that he's faddy about food or mean
about money?
These are material things, it is
true, and, therefore not of the first
importance; but, on the other hand,
what chance do they have either to
discover cath others spiritual state?
Don't they, as a rule, act and sham
all through, and dress up for each
other, and spend their time under the
most artificial conditions, pleasure
seeking? Are they ever encouraged
to have earnest conversations with
each other to discuss the more serious
aspects of their future life together?
No, the entire business is conducted
in the most absurdly irresponsible,

but for the fact that the results are
often so deeply tragical.
