Effcct of Corners Shown.

having a unit value OF 5000 and Of
a street having unit foot value Of
800. Under those conditions 100
square feet at the corner comprised

i worth No. lis worth l47l,
No. 3 is worth $425 and No. is
worth 1886; and so on for each OF
the squares; the values shade away
from No. in every direction and al
ways in proportion to the effect Of
one street value on the other.

are affected in value In some degree
by street intersections.
Not only IL the corner lot more
valuable than an inside lot, but often
the second lot. and even the third
lot is worth more than an inside lot
farther away from the corner. This
ell depends on the value of the inter-
secting street, and how wide the COR
ner lot Is.
These conditions vary at every
corner, and at every corner we there
fore have q problem different from the
problem at any other corner. Sizes
and shapes differ; intersecting streets
differ; even the main street differs
at different points. 1t must be ap-
parent therefore that any given per-
centage for measuring the enhance
ment OF corner lot over an inside
lot must be inadequate. This fact IL
susceptible OF mathematical demon
stration IL such proof were necessary.
but II liz not for the purposes OF this
exposition of the Somers system.
Lots at corners possess what may
be called the blended effect OF the
two streets making the corner. This
blend is not the total Of the value
Of the two streets but u something
less than that
Theoretically the point OF enhance
ment made by two streets coming
together Is at the very corner. Theo-
reticaliy also this enhancement grows
less and less. point by point, in every
direction away from the corner. This
lessened effect must be in curves as
In the case OF the interior lot with
which we dealt In discussing tho re-
lative value of the front and rear
depths OF inside lots
Somcrs Corner Diagram.
Having ascertained the true theory
for all of this. we must arrive at a
practical way of applying these
theories, as we did with the curve
Of value for inside lots. Mr.. Som
ers solves this by taking the average
enhancement for 100 square feet at
the corner as the measure OF the en-
hancement OF every foot In such a
square, and he does the same Tor
each square OF 100 square feet In
every direction from the corner
square In other words. he divides
| the 100 feet square at the corner
| into 100 small squares OF 400 square
feet each. and based upon the curve
OF value he has computed in terms
OF dollars the value for every square
! OF the hundred for every possible
combination Of values of streets form
ing corners. The following diagram

/ 100 feet square. with each small
square bearing an index number. In
| the Somers tables each one of these
squares has a specific value, for each
com binatfon OF street unit values;

SOME GOOD EATING.

Here is the ideal summer dessert.
Peach Sherbet.-Put a pound OF
sugar and a quart of water on TO Don
twenty minutes, let cool, then add one
and a half cupfuls of peach pulp, the
strained juice of an orange, and the
juice of half lemon. Freeze.
A Novel Sponge cake.-The ingredi-
ents for this cake are four eggs, cup
of sugar and cup of flour. Beat the
whites very dry and fold in the sugar,
a quarter of a cup at time. Add
the yolks one at time, cutting and
folding them in, adding so lightly that
the whites will be streaked with yei-
low. Cut the flour into the mixture III
the same way and bake in slow oven
in a buttered pan Do not stir to re-
move the streaks, for it will spoil the
texture of the cake.
drilled Chicken and Mushrooms
Any pieces of cold chicken will serve
for this dish. Sprinkle the pieces with
red pepper and salt, brush with melted
butter and toss in fine bread crumbs
Place in a hot oven, cut the stalks
from half pint of mushrooms, place
them in a saucepan with two table
spoonfuls of butter, a dust Of mace,
pepper, salt, squeeze of lemon juice,
a quarter of cup of stock or water
and tablespoonful Of flour. Cook
gently for five minutes, then pour on
to small pieces of toast. Prepare the
chicken and serve around the toast.
Serve hot
Bacon, Toast and Tomatoes.-Cook
very thin slices of bacon until crisp,
place on narrow strips of toasted
bread. Cook tomatoes in the hot fat
and serve with the toast and bacon.
Cucumbers With Brown Sauce
Peel three or four medium sized GU
cumbers sliced in halves lengthwise
then in halves crosswise. Scrape out
the seeds, season each with salt and
pepper, and roll in flour; saute in hot
drippings until well Drowned, drain
place in saucepan and cover with
brown stock, simmer until tender. AT

over

CrinoIines to Come.

Before the very tight skirt came in
we should have hailed with something
approaching dismay the news from
Paris that the fashions of 1880 are ex-
pected to supersede those of the pres
ent year. But as a relief from tightly
dragged skirts, no petticoats and copi
Gus visions of hosiery the gowns o.
1880 would be welcome change.
1t is the fashion now to deride eveSy-
thing Victorian. but perhaps leniency
will be extended to the year 1890
which was not Victorian. There is
even rumor that crinolines will fol
low upon this revolution in dress. That
would be bad indeed. but scarcely
worse than the plague of ugly and in
decorous dresses from which we are
now suffering.

THE SUMMER COTTAGE.

Formerly it was supposed, if you
spoke OF your summer home, that You
were fruit for an income tax. With
the common use of the word ''shack, E"
a different kind of a mentioning came
in. The summer home need not be
thing Of servants and bath rooms and
costly furniture. Many people arrange
it on basis where it is much cheaper
than boarding at even an inexpensive
resort
Sooner or later most people weary
Of the artificial atmosphere of sum
mer hotel. They have tested the arid
tiles of its conversations They have
danced to all the new dances and heard
the rise and fall Of successive eras Of
ragtime. \ longing for the simple
life begins to come over them where
the children don t have to be dressed
Iup as for church three times q day
The real essentials for comfort are
good beds and good food. With
few hundred dollars these can be as
sured up to the point where the cook
determines the fate of your house
keeping.
Formerly the summer home was
usually thought of as connected with
sumo exclusive colony, having stables
full of horses or motors, shaven lawns,
carefully tended shrubbery. Now
people go out into the nearest wood
land or waterside and build a little
haven of rest from labor, noise. dust
and the steamy air of towns. Its
walls may consist merely of matched
boards nailed over framework, mi
nus inside finish, carpets, rugs or
plumbing.
But the air is just as tonic, the
, woods are just as green, the sun dane
es as merrily on the water, the human
companionship may have just as much
charm, as if they paid thousands for
their outing.
The happiest summer vacations are
the most informal. The fellows who
wash the dishes and picnic with the
girls in some fraiJ and obscure shanty
get much better acquainted than if
they motored along to the GASES OF
stiff fashion at costly hotels College
songs and the woodland ramble arc
better than dress suits and dancing
master steps.
