This arrangement places q frame
around the window somewhat upon
the usual order of framing a mirror
at the back of built-in sideboards. The
is that a novel effect is OBJ
tanned by substituting a window in
stead of a mirror. Also this window
Is large enough to light the dining
room.
The kitchen arrangements are
keeper. The kitchen, pantry, cellar
stair and back porch are all built to-
gether, so that the working depart
ment is all that could be desired in
any sized house, the back porch being
sheltered by the house on two sides.
and it may be easily made into an ad-
ditional workroom for use as the
weather permits.
This little back porch Is intended
to be closed In with lattice work and
fly screens, and Of ours there should
be a climbing vine at the back Of the
house that will help to make this lit.
tie back porch attractive.
One good feature OF modern homes
is the care taken of the back lot.
Often It is Is carefully kept as the
front, and more attractive. because
1t is larger and there are more ad-
vantages In the way of planting
shrubs and flowers. A great many
thrifty house owners employ part Of
the ground In the growing of small
fruits and vegetables. The sentiment
in cities is favoring the economical
use of back yards, and the idea is q
good one. both in regard to economy
and looks.
The value of house property is gov
erned a good deal by the manner in
which the outside of the house is KEEP
and painted and the lot planted and
cultivated.

Varied Program.

The women of a town down the
state recently organized a literary
club, and for a while everything was
lovely.
Louise" asked the husband of one
Of the members upon her return home
from one of the meetings, what was
the topic under discussion by the club
this afternoon?
Louise couldn't Just remember at
first. Finally, however, she exclaimed:
Now recollect, We discussed that
brazen-looking hussy that's just moved
in across the street and Nietzsche."

Always In the Making.

In one of George Macdonald's books
occurs this fragment of conversation:
Il wonder why God made me" said
Mrs. Faber, bitterly. I'm sure don''
know what was the use Of making
me-"
Perhaps not much yet replied
Dorothy; but then he hasn't done
with you yet. He is making you now,
and you don't like IT."
1t would give US more patience with
ourselves if we always remembered
this. We would not get SO discour-
aged with our inflrmities. Imperfect
tons and failures if We always kept
in mind the fact that We are not yet
made, that we are only in process OF
being made, that God is not yet
through making us. . Rev. j. K
Miller, D. d.

dime BANKS Will. AID
jews TO RAISE funds
Novel Plan Will Be Employed te
Swell Collection for Hebrew
War Sufferers.

A novel plan Of enlisting the assistance
of more than 100 900 collectors and Of pro-
ducing $780, 900 for the relief Of Jewish war
sufferers will shortly be put in operation
by the central committee for the relief
Of Jews suffering through the war. This
committee has Just received the first de-
livery of pocket dime savings banks
which will be distributed throughout the
country In order that every one may con-
tribute to the fund being raised to relieve
the distress Of the Jews in Europe.
Albert Lucas. executive secretary, has
devised a very simple but effective sys-
tenn of control, SO that every one who de-
posits dime in one Of the banks will be
assured that the coin will reach the fund
for the aid Of the starving Jews across
the water. The banks bear serial num-
bers by which the exact record Is kept
Of the amounts collected and the names
of the collectors. The keys of the 10o.-
600 banks are kept by the local treasurer
of the committee. One good feature Of
the banks is that they are about the size
of a mans match box and can be car
ried without difficulty in the coat pocket.
Every one desrous of collecting for the
fund by means of one OF the banks should
write to the Central Jewish Relief Com
mittee. s3 Park Row. New York City.
The funds collected will be turned into
the common fund that is to he distributed
by the joint distribution committee, on
which are Rabbi NJ. 8. Margolis. Harry
Fischel. Judge Leon Sanders. Albert Lu-
cas-, F. W. Lewin-Epstein, Morris Engel-
man and Peter Wiernik.

NOLET-UP in
WAVE OF mail
Extra Workers Will Be En-
ployed Until Rush Has
Spent Itself.
NO SUNDAY HOLIDAY
Regular Mailmen Can Have No Cele-
brations Until New Years Day.
Says Supt. Haycock.

Washington's tidal wave of incoming
mail showed no let-up yesterday and
parcels were pouring in at midnight In
undimished quantities, particularly from
New England and the Pacific Coast
As Superintendent of Mails Haycock put
it last night: 1T did not 'iatten out
at noon Christmas Day at ALL as it
usually has done" The go students and
high school boys. who were employed
as extra workers, expected to be re-
lieved last evening. Instead, a change in
program had to be adopted. Mr.. Hay
cock says now that he will use all OF
them today and probably tomorrow, ana
in fact until the rush definitely stops.
1T is the heaviest Christmas Day We
ever went through" he said last night
I'VE had thought il would slow down,
but II did not. Many of the men have
arranged to have their Christmas dinners
on Sunday, but that will be a work day.
TOO. Usually, We have a half crew on
Sunday, but the full crew will have to
work this time. They will get credit for
an extra day to use when they like
later
The superintendent was asked what
kind of a celebration the men will in
dulge In when the biggest Christmas
mail in history Is at last disposed of.
Not until New Years, he said, will there
be any jollifcation; before that every
postman's demonstration will consist of
more sleep.
Friday night and extending into yes
terday, every man, including the 30 reg
ulars, as we'll as the go extras, worked
fourteen hours. Shifts of similar length
have been common since December Is.
The longest permitted was twenty hours
to one day.
1t is estimated that were the pieces Of
mail that came into Washington from
the sd to the 18th distributed equally
every man. woman and child in the city
each would have received not less than
eleven.
