The double-door archway is wide enough to throw the two doors togeth- or when required. Furniture to core spond helps to carry out this combinar tion plan.
 The large chimney. built of rough. dark-colored brick. adds to the appear ance of the gable end of the build ing. The projection. which forms a seat in the dining room, also adds to the attractivenes of this end of the house. There is a triple mullion win dow in this extension designed to ad- init plenty of light to the dining room.
 The manner of placing the house on the ground is interesting. The lot slopes away to the back. so that the low ungalow effect is given to the front part of the house, but the base ment wall at the rear is high enough for good-sized windows above the ground. The manner of building shingle siding down to the ground in front also adds to the bungalow ef- feet
 The planting of house properly on the lot has a good deal to do with its artistic appearance. A pretty house should be placed some distance back from the street line, for the same req son that you stand some distance away to survey a picture on the wall; you want to get the right perspec- tive.
 The manner in which a house is sur rounded with trees, shrubbery and flowers also has a great deal to do with its artistic appearance when viewed from the street.
 The best house designed may be improved or spoiled by its immediate surroundings.
 Likewise the neighborhood has a great deal to do with the fitness of the house. A house that would look well in one section of town would be out of place on another street
 Houses to fit wide lots have a crowd ed look when built on a narrow lot.
 There are many things to consider before selecting plans for a house.

Thesaurus, the Beautiful.

Doesn't sound beautiful It is a word man might hesitate to say before a lady. At the same time it has a golden meaning. It means treasure house. A man might get away with it, as re- gards the dictionary. It would sound all right to speak of a thesaurus of dead languages or living ones. but if you told a girl her heart was a the saurus you would make no hit with her. If you said instead, My sweet, your heart is like treasure house of all earth's jewels" you would have a better chance; besides, it would be the truth to you. We hope this impresses you to use very simple words when you are saying something beautiful. It is not knowing big words that counts. but using small ones wsli- Los Angeles Timss.

 Why. even in your New York of fees you don't work. Look at your offices-crowds of young men in pink silk hose, crowds of young women in low-cut and transparent blouses.

The Washington Star relates that Mayer Baker of Cleveland, in defense of political movement that had been attacked, said the other day:
 Its an honest movement and a straightforward movement, and they who attack it are as censorious as the Seabright old maid.
 "A Seabright old maid was talking to a sunburned college boy on the beach. A pretty girl passed and the old maid said:

 A bungalow for a small family. con taining five rooms with a good base ment, is much in demand The per spectiye and floor plan herewith illus trsted show a very artistic bungalow arranged for comfort as well as looks.
 The best architectural practice de- mands that houses shall be neat and pretty in appearance, as well as prac- tical and comfortable. and the ten dency always is for more comfort at less expense. Modern architects are inventors of luxuries. A home like this not only embodies the means of obtaining luxuries, but it combines the artistic with everyday utilitarian economy.
 This bungalow is supported by a solid basement wall, which extends we'll above ground, to give plenty of head-room. Most small houses are heated by warm-air furnaces. Seven and one-half feet of headroom is nee essary to get the proper angle to the pipes which convey the heat from the

Beans-Beans are tender plants.
They can not endure frost and will not

in the open where the plants are to
grow. delaying the work until severe
frosts are past. Plant in rows one foot
apart, placing the seeds about two
inches deep at intervals of six inches.
Keep the soil loose and free from
weeds.
Beets-Beets, while they are hardy
and can be planted at the same time
as radishes and lettuce, require long
er season for maturing, The seeds
should be planted in rows one foot
apart. placed an inch apart in the row
and covered one inch deep. When the
plants are well up (two inches high)
thin to four inches apart in the row.
Keep the soil well titled at all times.
Tomatoes-The tomato is the most
exacting Of all the plants included In

southwark the seeds may be planted in
the open at the same time as beans.
but to the north Of this point the seeds
should be sown in boxes. hotbeds. or

them to four Inch pots or to cans such

firmly in the ground.
