front hall. which. in this case. is do
signed for a reception hall and may
be used for lounging room. The op-
en- CRATE suggests much comfort in
this little reception hall.
There is another advantage in build
ing house of this shape. and that is
the ease with which IL may be venti-
lated By leaving the door open in
the upper stairway to the attic, there
is sure to be a current of air passing
up, which will keep the atmosphere In
the house in good condition. Pure air
in a house induces personal comfort
at the time and permanent health af-
forwards. The atmosphere in many
dwelling houses is so loaded with i'm
purities that persons confined to the
house for many hours at time are
sure to contract that tired feeling"
For some unaccountable reason, the
air that they are breathing is the last
cause thought of. Persons so afflict-
ed think that they have been working
too hard or have eaten something that
did not exactly agree with them; anc

the wolfe also. The underpetticoat of
fine mousseline or organdie is finished
at the bottom with wide border Of
embroidered net. This same net
makes the neckpiece, which consists
Of fichu and flaring collar in one.
Any pattern in a lace of bold design
may be substituted for the embroid-
cred net with equally good effect
Handmade laces of linen braid are
especially appropriate If the costume
is intended for summer wear only.
This gown, made up as pictured here,
might easily be serviceable at other
seasons of the year, as wolfe and en-
broidered net are fabrics used all the
year round.
1t is worth noticing that the tunic
is quite full, but the fullness is not
increased by the addition Of ruffie at
the bottom. This ruffle is of exactly
the same width as the body of the
tunic above it. 1t is finished with a
narrow plating Of fine lace at the
bottom and similar plating joins it
to the tunic skirt
The parasol, Of embroidered taffeta,
Is edged with rufile Of chiffon and
completes an exquisite and refined in
depreciation of this summers modes.
There is no trace Of any of the
freakish elements in the punching and
draping of materials about the figure.
All the lines are uninterrupted and
therefore graceful.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1914-08-28

The shaping is managed by basting al
ternating rows of narrow and wide
insertion to a light paper pattern. The
lace. is brought to "V" shape in the
back. The shoulders are fitted with
narrow seams. The insertings are
whipped together.
The lower edge of the yoke Is
stitched to beading embroidery about
an inch in width, to which the body
of the gown is set on. The sleeve por-
ton and bottom of the gown are fin
ished with a wide edging, and the
neck with a narrow one of CORE
spending pattern. Ribbon run through
the beading adjusts this pretty en-
pire pattern to the figure.
In nightgowns and in other lingerie
of the best designs the makers steer
clear of much elaboration. Ribbons
form a highly important decorative
feature, and special designs in bows
and rosettes are made to be adjusted
when required.

MT IGHT DRESSES designed for sum-
sheerest Of batiste or nainsook or
cross-barred muslins, linen and cotton
lawns, and also of wash silks and
crepe de chine. The latter and linen
lawns seem to be in highest favor at
this season.
For decoration, well-made French
or German val laces, cluny and shadow
laces hold sway, with hand embroid-
cry always the most elegant of ALL
If fine hand embroidery is to be used
linen lawn, crepe de chine, or very fine
batiste will make the work worth
while. Hand embroidery in simple de-
sign and neatly done is the most de-
sirable of all decorations for lingerie.
Durable laces in narrow insertions and
dainty edges are quite often used with
it. But the majority of hand-embroid-
cred garments have no further deco
ration than flower sprays of embroid-
cry and all edges finished with but
tonholed scallops.
A gown of batiste Is shown in the
picture cut in the simplest manner
possible. A plain kimono pattern does
away with armholes or separate
sleeves. The round neck and short
sleeves are finished with buttonholed
scallops, and these are placed, in
stead of a hem, about the bottom. A
flower spray appears on each sleeve
and in the front of the garment.
Made with much less work and very
pretty is the gown shown in the Sec
ond picture. The yoke and sleeves, in
enc piece, are made of German val
lace insertion finished with edging.

may creep in; but where windows are
plentiful, there is an inducement to
open one, even in cold weather, and
this Is greater blessing than some
persons realize. In building house.
the subject Of ventilation should be
very carefully considered.
Another point that is often over
looked Is In selecting plan which ad-
mits Of placing the living rooms and
bedrooms that are used the most, on
the south side of the house. The hall,
stairway, and some other rooms that
are not used so much may just as we'll
face the north. Sunlight Is a great
purifier. The direct rays of the sun
will kill disease germs, and they are
the best disinfectant known. Besides
fulness, and a cheerful disposition IS
a godsend in any house.
In this dining room, connection Is
made with the pantry-an arrange
ment that some housekeepers prefer to
having a sideboard in the dining room.
1t provides more room, with an oppor-
tunity to get behind the dishes to
arrange them on the shelves. This
arrangement is for utility, while too
many sideboards are designed more
for looks than convenience. This ar
rangement, moreover, looks all right;
and it has the additional advantage Of
not occupying any space in the room.
Twelve by seventeen feet is good
size and a good shape for a dining
room; it admits of good long dining
table without wasting much room at
the sides. A square dining room is not
SO easily arranged to advantage.

IS CITY OF SIEGES
Belgrade Has Changed Owners
Many, Many Times.
Ancient Stronghold on the Danube
Was Subject to Attack Time and
Again by Different Nations
Familiar With War.

London.-Where the blue Danube
and the sluggish Sava meet, less than
three score miles from the Hungarian
frontier, sits Belgrade, city of sieges.
War is nothing novel to Belgrade-the
city was the very bone of contention
In days gone by, when the now degen-
crate Turk pounded at the doors Of
Christendom and threatened to sweep
Europe, even as Attila, the Hun, did
centuries before. Time and again.
Belgrade felt the attack of the Mos
lem; time and again, Servian, Monte
negrin and Hungarian heroes hurled
back the invader. Zriny, a veritable
host, accomplished seeming miracles
in defense Of Europe-Hunyadi saved
middle Europe from Turkish ravages,
and-always, Belgrade bore the brunt
Of the battling.
In those days the town was divided
into two sections, the old Russian, or
Sava-Makhala district, and the Tur-
kish, Dorcol, or Cross-Road section. So
far back as the third century, B. c.,
Belgrade was fortified by the Celts,
who named the place Singidunum, by
which appellation it was known until
the seventh century, A. D. From the

THE last word in thin summer tot
Il lettes, designed for the hot days of
August, comes in the form Of this
combination of transparent materials
and embroidered net or heavy linen
with lace. Every detail Of this cos
tune may be carefully considered,
from the transparent wide-brimmed
hat of shirred maline, through the
elaborate neckpiece of embroidered
net, the wide velvet girdle, the very
tull tunic and the close-hanging under
skirt, bordered with embroidered net,
not emitting the pumps of dull kid
with their snowy buckles. These fea-
lures embody the last evolution of the
summers modes, and indicate what
we may expect for the coming fall.
The costume shows a fine eye for
selection rather than a desire to be
original. There are several new
touches in the minor details, such as
the new form of side comb in the
hair, the very broad girdle of velvet
ribbon, and it's adjustments about the

sleeves Of wolfe indicate the liking for
long sleeves in thin fabrics which are
to be seen repeatedly in gowns of
heavier materials.
This gown is made of sheer, fine
voile embroidered in disks on the
lower half of the sleeves and about the
bottom of the tunic. The bodice,
which is bloused only a little, is of

pings, sugar and salt, will make
good vegetable to serve with pork
chops.
Sour cream for the white sauce with
Goldfish gravy is a great favorite in
the West, and is truly fine, if one has
she courage to try it.
Apple Fritters.-Make a batter with
two well-beaten eggs, a dash of salt,
and two tablespoonfuls of sugar; one
cupful Of milk, a cupful of flour sifted
with a teaspoonful of baking powder.
Add the beaten whites last; stir in two
cupfuls of chopped apple and cook in
deep fat Sour apple is best.
Clubhouse Potatoes,-Cook potatoes
in their Jackets; peel and cut in cubes
Put one tablespoonful Of butter to
each cupful of potatoes in hot sauce
pan; sprinkle with salt and paprika,
then add thin cream to just cover the
potatoes. Cook slowly forty-fve min
utes.
Spced Bananas.-Take two tea
spoonfuls of allspice and cinnamon,
one-half cupful of water, one cupful Of
sugar and boil until thick; then add a
half cupful of orange juice, fourth
of cupful of lemon juice and add six
bananas; cook until thoroughly heat
ed. Serve with the sauce poured over
them.
Canning Young Beets.-Cut off the
leaves, leaving a good STEM wash
without breaking the skin; cook until
tender; take off the skin and fill jars
with the beets; add two tablespoonfuls
Of sugar to each quart; teaspoonful
of salt, and fill with luke warm water,
set in kettle half filled with water
and cook for and hour, adjust rubbeRs
and seal cans.

beginning Of the fourth to the end of
the sixth centuries, Belgrade changed
Its masters repeatedly. Huns, Sarma-
tians, Goths and Gepids held it by turn
until Emperor JustiEian brought It
under Roman rule. Toward the end of
the eighth century 1t was captured
by the Franks Of Charlemagne A
hundred years later, the Bulgarians
took possession, to be ousted two CEN
turtles later by the Byzantine Emperor,
der King Stephen took it from the
Greeks, from which time 1t changed
hands repeatedly Greeks, Bulgarians
and Hungarians fighting for its pos
session. The city, considered the key
to Hungary, was called Darol-i-Jehad,
"the home of wars TO. faith" by the
Turks and they used every endeavor
to capture and keep 1t.
In 1927 1t was ceded to the Hungar-
ians by the Servians. In 1855 the
Turks sought its capture and were
completely routed by Hungarians un-
der John Hunyadi and John Capis-
tran, the fighting monk. In 1921, Sui
tan Suleiman captured the strong
hold, to hold 1t until 1888, when the
Austrians took it, only to lose it two
years later. In 1717, Prince Eugene
of Savoy captured Belgrade for the
Austrians, who kept 1t until 1889,
when the Turks again obtained foot
hold. They kept the Servian town I'M
til 1889, when the Austrians carried
it by assault, losing it once more, three
years later. In 1907, the Servians over
whelmed the Turkish garrison, keep
ing possession for six years, when the
Turks again turned the tables.
Until 1862 the Turks kept a garri-
son in Belgrade, and 1T was not until
Prince Michael Of Servia threatened
war and the Powers brought pressure
to bear on Turkey that the latter soun-
try withdrew its troops. Since then
Servia has been In possession.

appeal on behalf of the Boy Scouts
Endowment Fund in February an aver
age of about $4,000 a day has BEEN
sent. Men are the greatest givers.
Sir Robert says he believes the rea-

to take the time one would enjoy at
lake or stream to prepare fruit, even
In the best equipped and ventilated
kitchen, in hot weather. Peaches,
which are such delicious fruit, may
be delight long after they are out
of season If carefully prepared.
Peach Marmalade.-Boil II pounds
Of peaches until reduced to a pulp,
with small amount of water, then
put them through a sieve and add a
half pound Of sugar for each pound
Of fruit. Boil together, stirring con-
stantly, until reduced to a thick
marmalade. Put away in bottles or
jars for winter use.
A delicious filling for cake or for q
sauce for ice cream may be made of
very ripe peaches, peeled and put
through a colander, then mixed with
equal parts Of sugar and put in sealed
Jars in the ice chest. Weeks after
peaches are out of the market this
sauce will still be good If kept in cold
storage in the ice chest. This makes
excellent fruit for shortcake, too
Plum Catsup.-Take half a peck
Of blue plums, one pint of vinegar,
half the weight of the plums in sugar
Or less If liked less sweet. Add
tablespoonful each of cloves, CHINA
mon and allspice, tied in muslin
cloth Boil all together, strain through
a colander and boil again until of the
right consistency.
Spiced Peaches.-Take three pounds
Of sugar, pint and half of good
vinegar, one ounce Of cloves, two
sticks Of cinnamon, boil all together,
then add seven pounds of peeled
peaches. Let them heat through
slowly, then when tender and rich in
color dip them from the strip and
put into jars. Boil the strip down
I'LL quite thick and pour over them.
Seal and serve with meats in winter.
These are the same as the old-time
picked peaches which were never
peeled.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRp.

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. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, Ill, and only enclose

Houses today, in general, are not so
large as they used to be, when meas.
ured by size alone. The increasing
cost of lumber, labor, and other build
ing items of expense have induced
many economies; but inventive archi-
tects have made better use of the
smaller space, so that an eight-room
modern house contains great deal
more convenience than an eight-room
house built twenty years ago, although
the outside dimensions of the older
house may be very much the larger.
Twenty years study in this direction
has resulted in many Improvements,
both in design and by the way of add
ing a multitude of small conveniences.
Formerly little attention was paid
to the spacing of doors and windows
in order to admit of placing the furni-
ture conveniently or artistically. Only
of late has the possibility of a small
house for comfort and convenience
been recognized. 1t requires a space
at least IL by feet to accommo-
date a good-sized, comfortable bed;
and this space should not be inter
fered with by placing windows or
doors in the way. The advancing price

Vivid Shades for Girls.

Bright colors in linen, crepe and cot
tons are much worn by children be-
yond the baby age of white. These
are usually worn with black belts or
girdles, and are relieved by collars
or guimpes of fine white embroidery.
The linens are too heavy for gath
ers, but in sheer fabrics shirrings,
plaitings and gathered ruffies are
usual.
Such colors as terra Gotta, grass
green and vivid yellows are worn by
young girls of all ages.
