of unnecessary labor entailed when
multiplied by every day in the year

gate. Every one likes to see a house
look well from the front, but really
the most important thing is the Gull.
nary department and the accessories
thereto.
In this plan these important fea.
lures have received a great deal Of
consideration. They are homely sub
jects but we have formed national
habit of eating about three times a
day, and that foots up to more than
thousand meals during the year.
Women usually are not adopts at fig.

Roman Emperor Warred on Flies.
The original swat the fly" man has
been discovered. He was Domitian,
Roman emperor from 81 to So A. d.
History records little good OF Domi-
tian, but 1t does say that he antici.
pated the anti-hy movement by more
than 1900 years. Maltreating the
buzzing pests was his favorite amuse-
ment. 1t is recorded, but he was not
animated by a desire to save babies
lives or avert epidemics.
One biographer says OF the old Ro-
man that zone of his favorite pastimes
was hunting and killing flies" and
Suetonius, the famous historian, wrote
thus of Domitian: an the beginning
OF his reign he used to spend daily
an hour by himself In private, during
which time he did nothing else but
catch flies and stick them through the
body with sharp pin"

ton that will not eat into the cubic
space unnecessarily.
This stairway is the product of the
Inventive genius of several genera
lions of architects and 1t deserves
very careful consideration on the part
of the owner when he starts to build.
There are many house plans in which
the stairway is made to occupy a
great deal more room than 1t should,
while interfering with some of the
more important rooms, but this stair
IL fitted into recess In such a way
as to take very little room from the

Of the house and the run is SO easy
that it will not tire woman to death

In building a house the plan is one
Of the first considerations and 1t is
not one to be lightly considered nor
quickly chosen. I often recommend
intending builders to get book of
house plans and study 1t thoroughly

King George In France.

During the visit of King George and
Queen Mary to Paris his majesty will
be present at the annual spring review
of the Paris garrison on April %. The
review will be held, as in previous
years, in Vincennes. The review is
generally held in March, but out of

Gives Benefit Of Doubt.

Miss Janet Scudder says that, given
the same amount Of talent and educa
ton. men could produce as fine statues
as women. She is herself sculptor,
and this remark quoted is her little
sarcastic answer to Brander Matthews,
who said that women should have a
hall Of fame Of their own, as he did
not believe they could do the same
kind of work as men, and consequently
could not be classed in hall OF fame
with them.

A house SO by 40 feet Is just about
the right size when you want four
bedrooms with good sized living rooms
down stairs. 1t makes a great diff
Terence In the cost of building wheth-
er you have large rooms or small
rooms.
Many times architects are asked to
design an eight-room house with no
sizes stipulated. but 1t is intimated
that large rooms are wanted. When
the plan is finished and the cost com
tputed there is an objection at once
ION the score of expense and the archi-
hect is asked to reduce the size to
Come within the owners means.
This is a difficult task. In the first
place the owner has got his ideas
up to a rather pretentious house and
NE has decided that he wants four
bedrooms. which, with bathroom, hall
and stairway means that he must
either have house about the size
OF this one or he must cut down the
size Of the rooms considerably. The
decision usually Is to make the rooms
smaller, but this often alters the APP
pearance of the house until the gen.
eral effect is disappointing.
II person can stand the expense
this eightToom house plan is a good
one; the proportions are right and
the floor space is utilized to the very
best advantage for convenience, sani
tation and general utility, when con-
sidered as home for good sized
family.
A great deal of time has been de-
voted to the stairway to make it one
of the most complete house stairways
ever built. 1t is easy to look at
stair when finished and admire it, but
only architects realize how difficult It
is to start with naked plan and build
stair that will connect all parts of
the house. including the cellar and the
