ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most Important Events
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF Interest to the seandinavlans
In America.

Eindr Hilsen, Norwegian author,
who is visiting his countrymen In
America, is protesting an exceedingly
robust belief in close cooperation be-
tween Sweden and Norway II one Of
the two Is attacked by foreign enc
my. He says: Norway will never
take up arms against country of
comparative equality, as there are but
two - Sweden and Denmark - and
against these 1t is idle to speak OF
war. Both are our brother peoples.
We settled our affairs with the Danes
a hundred years ago or, If you VIII,
more than five hundred years ago
Since 1914 the Danes have been our
friends whose friendship we desire
and whose development we follow
with lively interest. With the Swedes
we bore the last battle In 1914, or In
18OS-09, or II you will, even much
longer ago After 1905 there can be
no talk OF warfare between the Swedes
and Norwegians, for they must stand
shoulder to shoulder against an event
ual enemy. This is plain to every
Norwegian, and have reason to be-
lieve that this is the view taken by
the great majority of the Swedish peo-
pie. 1t is life duty for Norwegians
and Swedes that they steadfastly keep
together to face a possible aggressor
as one people. / have never doubted
but that they win do SO. War be-
tween them would be madness and
mad. happily, neither of them Is. BY
nature the two kingdoms are obliged
to hold together and now that they
stand on equal political footing they
are in better position than at any
time. Should a power attack Sweden,
Norway would hasten to her support
without hesitation. II is the law Of
self-preservation. I am positive that
Norway since 1905 much more cheer
fully would battle by the side of
Sweden than before. II is an undis-
puted political truth that a power
which attacks either of the two peo-
pies on the Scandinavian peninsula
will at the same time have to fight
both. No Norwegian statesman, no
Swedish statesman, could defend any
other political position"

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. 1897 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, Ill. and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
Small houses for small families are
required In greater numbers than any
other style Of building. 1t is said that
the average family contains five mem
bers. This means that great many
families have only from two to four
members.
The remark has often been made
that no roof is big enough to cover
two families; certainly the happiest
way to live is in home of ones own.
Judging from the misery In some
large houses, there has been no
change IN human nature In this re-
spect. You may call II selflshness or
what you like. but the fact remains
that there can only be one mistress
in one house. Things must go to her
liking, or someone suffers.
The design here illustrated shows
house that costs very little more
to build than one-story cottage.
There are only two bedrooms and a
bathroom upstairs, besides big store
room; while the downstairs Is per-
fectly arranged for comfort and con-
venience.
The caves are but little higher than
on a cottage house. The room up
stairs is secured by means OF a roof
having four gables, which IL an easy
roof to build, and one that is under
stood by every house carpenter. II
is right in every respect. even to the
placing of the chimney.
There is a great advantage in hav-
ing the chimney in the center Of the
house. You never have trouble with
roof leaking around a chimney that
Is build through the peak, but the
amount of expressive profanity
wasted on chimneys near the caves is
tremendous. When the water races
down the roof, It seems to prefer an
outlet around the chimney. 1t runs
down towards the ground easier than

ering. Sometimes the seat Is made
to lift up. There are as many styles
in window seats as In any other ar
ticles of furniture; but they are diff.
ferent, from the fact that each one
is made to fit certain niche where
II is expected to remain.
A window seat is never complete
without plenty OF pillows. The square
down pillows with fancy covers that
are seen in every home. are not only
comfortable, but highly decorative.
Some of these pillows are made too
nice to use, which is great mis-.
take. 1t 10 much better to have
washable covers that may be easily
removed. OF course every woman
likes to have something of this kind
as neat and elaborate as possible:
but, as a general thing, pillows should
be made to use as well as to look at.
A seat big enough to At this win
dow should have seven or eight pill
lows piled up at the ends, and scat
tered along the side on top Of the
tufted back. Some seats are made
with wide rail on top OF the back.
especially to hold pillows. In such
cases the tufting should be made in
different parts. with division at each
corner and cord run along to mark
the upper corner borders.

1t is more dificult to at the tufted

The front of the window seat is
covered with material the same az

finish is best because 1t does not col

form looks better.
Sometimes drawers for magazines

AS general thing 1t is better to
have the whole thing movable. A
cheap frame is made to fit the win
dow, and this frame is seated with
loose cushions. The ends and back
are covered with tufted material to
match the cushions. This tutting
should reach up the back and turn
over on the window side and extend
down as far as the window stool.

be higher than the sides. but not
