ENGLISH HOME OF 1872

In a fold of the Kentish hills, surrounded by
apple orchards and hop gardens, there stands a
humble building whose walls are eloquent OF the
past, a writer in the London Globe says. 1t Is
almost the only one of its kind left standing-so
far as the exterior is concerned-in its entirety
The adjoining land was granted to one of his
knights by Edward l. in 1872, and the most reli-
able antiquarian opinion is in favor of the house
having been built shortly after. Our knight, in
the matter of building, did not despise the record
of the past, for he adopted the Norman method,
then dying out, of placing his living rooms on the
second floor. This made for safety and the ground
floor apartments were simply windowless dun
geons and storerooms.
In those days they built for strength, and the
walls of Kentish rag are of great thickness. cal

that of the transition from early English to dec
Grated. Oblong in form, it has gables north and
south, and at either end of the long east wall is
a square projection.
Ascending the stairs we find ourselves in a
room of truly noble proportions, occupying the
length and breadth of the building, 2S feet by
1917, and lighted by windows east, west, north
and south. 1t is open to the roof, which contains
nearly. if not quite, its original form, and has a
fireplace and an "ambrey" or cupboard in which
cooking and table requisites and aims for the
poor we're kept. In this "aire" or attire" the fam
lily lived and worked, and here visitors and better
class retainers slept. Here, perhaps, from the
beams supporting the roof hung the store OF dried
provisions for winter use, and the herbs collected
by the squire's dame.

SEAT LITTLE GOOD TO HIM
Smart Youth Had It But He Did Not
Proceed Far Toward His Des-
tination.

An important-looking and haughtily
acting young man was wandering up
and down on the platform of the rail-
road station of a small western city.
He was intent on finding an empty
seat in the express, which was almost
due to start. Vainly did he search
each car. Suddenly he assumed an
official air and, walking up to the
last car, he cried out:
"All change here. This car will be
left here"
The occupants Of the crowded car
uttered EXPLANATIONS which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
coaches. The face of the young man
assumed a bland and childlike express
sion as he settled himself YER com
fortably in an empty seat.
Shortly after, the station agent put
his head in at the door and said:

From the hall a doorway gives admittance to
one of those square chambers already noticed as
built on the ends of the east wall. 1t is the
lords chamber" the sleeping room of the WON
en- and children. The walls are thick and lancet
Sits, high above reach, let in a dim light by day,
while the shutter hooks. still tightly wedged in
the wall, show how jealousy the retreat was
guarded by night. It was the inner sanctum. the
most protected part of the house. where those
dearest to the knight found refuge in troublous
days and children obtained privacy from the
more public life of the hall.
The other projecting room throws further light
on the dispositions of our knight. A soldier. q
domestic man, a man of taste, he was also a man
of religion. For this room, a little larger than
the lords chamber, is the chapel. 1t has a long
narrow, early English window, and two smaller
ones, and retains on window arch and piscina
tracery of much architectural beauty.

he is breakfasting, the sun rushes out from De-

there is no more snow. That same afternoon
roads and meadows will be dry and flowers once
more firm and upright. Soon it becomes too not

season.
For those who have become weary of the noise
and hurry and dirt of town life, what greater
change could be imagined? 1t may be that there
will come a moment to the chalet dweller when
he will feel, mingled with reluctance at leaving
the calm life of the mountains, a certain antici
