The best of present day architectu-

The residence upon a certain estate
IN Nassau County, N. Y, is OF brick

England and France during the four

FITS only during the past few years
that the architects and owners OF
country homes have become
ware of the decorative possibilities
{ farm and service buildings OF every
i;ird.
Structures devoted to the many util-
tartan purposes upon farms and coun-
Try estates have long been regarded as
evils which must be tolerated because
they are necessary. This theory has
led to their being hidden as far as
possible when it has not been prac-
ticable to Danish them wholly to some
distant part of the estate where their
ugliness could not interfere with the
smart appearance which it was desired
that the estate should assume. The
mistake has consisted in not realizing
or approaching the opportunities
which the buildings themselves have
held out.
Normandy's PICTURESQUE Farm Build
mas.
ANY one who has motored through
Normandy or through many OF the
rural sections OF northern France will
no doubt remember the picturesque
ness of the old farmhouses and their
surrounding buildings, which are much
larger than the houses themselves.
The highways in many places are
bordered with rows Of tall poplars
and the old stone farmhouses are sur
rounded by barns, low rambling
structures, also of stone, with pict-
uresque sweeping roofs. The stone OF
their walls and the coverings OF the
roofs have weathered to gray which
is thrown into relief against the green
cry Of surrounding fields or pastures.
Each group seems to express GER
tain sense of the fitness of things, or
it may be that the habit OF giving ar
tistic expression to the most prosaic
of utilities, which is inherent in the
French character, has produced what
seems TO Americans the most pict-

affords an opportunity for a treatment
which is very successful.
Service yards around garages or the
paddocks about stables in the great
majority of instances dishgur: their
surroundings instead of being the pict-
uresque features they might easily be-
come. A stable, for example, may be
built about three sides of a square,
the fourth side being fence or wall
through which the service yard is
entered.
Back Yards" Are Discarded.
American country homes are no
longer being built with back yards
and rear premises" They have been
discarded along with the wax flowers
and crocheted tides which were once
considered ornaments to the home
The country house now presents ar
entrance front" to the road or the
driveway, and garden front" face:
an opposite direction, with the service
entrance and drying yard suitably
screened. In like manner the othel
details of residence and farm buildings
which were once undigniied and otter
unsightly are clothed with a certain
grace and dignity of their own, so tina
now there is no part Of the estat,
which may not be considered a
habitualiy arrayed in correct attire.

New York, where the tank supplies
water, not only for the inn, but for
a surrounding village. The inn itself
is a large and somewhat rambling
building of half timber, highly pict-
uresque, and placed upon the summit
of lofty hill, where it is surrounded
by rarely beautiful grounds.
Far above the beautiful buildings.
however, there towers huge and
extraordinarily ugly water tank, visible
for miles around and dishguring the
entire district. This, too, is detail
upon which architectural ingenuity
and cleverness might well be en-
ployed, for the great height Of such
structure creates opportunities for
a most picturesque effect. which, if it
be properly handled, may become an
architectural asset.
An example of successful solution
of the water tank problem exists at
Northwood, the estate of Mortimer l..
Schiff, near Oyster Bay, Long Island.
Here the lack of any adequate water
supply makes necessary the pumping
of water from an artesian well into a
great tank that the pressure of the
water when released may force it to
any part of rather extensive farm.
Tank Has Architectural Value.
But in this instance architectural
skill has masked or screened the

Teaches EWgenics &c
Over a Thousand
Women Yearly.

The course in eugenics and the
practical care of children, which was
established at the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural College a short time ago, is
a success, according to Mrs. May
Pierce Van Zile, dean of the division
of home economics, professor of do
nestle science and dean of women at
the institution.
There are about 100 young women
at the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege at Manhattan, representing nearly
half of the total enrolment. Mrs. Van
Zile has received letters from many
graduates, now married and settled
on farms, asking why course in the
care and training of children was not
established long before. Some moth
ers have even returned to the college
to take postgraduate courses.

She Campaigns for
Office Illus band
Hopes TO Fill.

The distinction of being the only
woman campaign manager in Okla
homa during the present year at
least belongs to Mrs. Blanche Lucas,
newspaper women, oil operator and
expert on the states laws, who has
taken charge of the campaign OF her
husband. Frank B. Lucas, for the
Democratic nomination for State Au-
ditor.
The Lucases are Oklahoma Eighty
miners, pioneers who came to old Ok
lahoma Territory when it was opened
to settlement. They have been part
ners in work undertaken by either one.
If one has an ambition, immediate
ly it has been backed by the other,
and it is this same spirit that now
prevails when the wife steps to the
front to manage her husbands po-
litical campaign.
A compilation of the insurance laws
of Oklahoma was completed by Mrs.
Lucas in 1911, and this has been re-
vised by her following each session
of the Legislature.

uresque of settings, for very different
are the gaunt and bare buildings,
which generally serve the same pur-
poses upon farms in America.
Quaint Are the Barns Built by Penn.
sylvania Dutch.
Or, to take an example nearer home,
there are old barns in certain dis"
tricts settled by those sturdy colo
nists, the early Pennsylvania Dutch"
barns built of stone and possessed
of rugged quaintness which is par
ticularly interesting. These and many
similar object lessons have led recent
ly to the adoption of wholly changed
attitude upon the part of Americans
toward such buildings as stables, COW
barns, garages or buildings called by
any other name which may be neces-
sary upon farm or country estate.
The very size and bulk of these
buildings often make possible treat
ment which. is bold and striking, for
they may be built after architectural
types which depend for their effect
not so much upon minute and ex-
quisitely designed detail as upon the
effective use OF great wall surfaces,
frequently without windows and
topped by broad and sweeping roofs
unbroken by dormers.
Lack Of Unity in Scattered Buildings.
The skilful placing of these has
much to do with the effect which they
produce. The scattering of buildings
about an estate could never result in
anything but an appearance Of dis
order, confusion and lack of unity, al
ways TO be avoided if beauty is to
be regarded.
The building of garage upon one
spot, a stable in another, building
for servants somewhere else, all en-
tirely apart from the residence, can
only result in a weakening of the very
effect which it is the aim of good
architecture to produce. But the
grouping of buildings, the placing
closely together of stable, garage and
possibly homes for coachman and
chauffeur will constitute a mass of
buildings so large and important that
it may be dealt with as an architectu-
raj unit and made to assume an appear
ance sufficiently decorative to become
a feature of the greatest value in Gre
ating an atmosphere of dignity.
No one detail and no building upon
an estate constitutes, as rule, more
fragrant offence against the laws which
govern the fitness of things than the
water tank. There are countless in
stances where the water required for
a farm or an estate must be forced
I by pressure into a tank placed in
position so elevated that it may be
distributed by its own weight to vari-
Gus buildings, often widely separated.
Such tanks are usually merely huge
wooden cisterns elevated upon lofty
skeletons or frames of metal and gen.
orally so conspicuous that their ugl-
ness ruins the appearance of the en-
tire surroundings.
