MAKING LIVABLE PoRCHES.
Privacy q DssirabiIity When Construct

Privacy q DssirabiIity When Construct
ing Piazzas, Balconies or Lossias.
Unfortunately up to the present time
few Americans realize the meaning
and desirability Of privacy. Even In
the country many houses are built near
the road, without any attempt to
screen private residences from the pub
Lie gaze, and IN the city, where porches
are so rare a luxury, they are generally
built around the main entrance OF a
house, where there Is q constant COM
ing and going and where q coy re-
treat, hidden from every passerby, Is
almost an impOssibility.
However, many houses have posi-
bflities. For instance, roofs over pam
tries and additions or projecting extern
sions that are created as a result OF
architectural design could be made
into charming little balconies without
much trouble or expense.
A roof can be converted into a very
satisfactory porch floor by covering
and leveling 1t with wooden stats that
allow natural drainage, and there need
be no permanent wooden roofs for
such a retreat when awnings and can
vas curtains can be made to answer
the purpose Of protection quite as ef-
fectively. Is there anything more rest
full or more delightful than to be thus
sheltered from the dust and hustle OF
streetsl Is there anything more de-
sirable than the security of such a re
treat2
Indeed, balcony, loggia or veranda
need not be limited to the homes Of the
wealthy, for It can easily he brought
within the scope Of limited incomes
and talents. The barest and bleakest
Of porches can be made an interesting
spot-one that is essentially livable-
with the help OF awnings and screens,
a few comfortable chairs, a swinging
couch or hammock and. above all, a
few flowers and vines. Flowers and
green things are to a porch what an
open fireplace is to a room They form
a nucleus, a charming center, around
which the other things naturally group
themselves.

ABOUT HYPOCRISY.
Be Sincere About What You Say, Do
and Think.

Be Sincere About What You Say, %
and Think.
Be sincere Of what you say Of 9TH
ers. II you cannot think nice things
about them do not say anything at all.
You should never run down others In
your speech, so II you cannot praise
be silent II you are forced to utter
an opinion about a person yon dislike
pick out the one point you find 20 sd-
mire In that person and mention that.
Unfortunately it is all too seldom
that the real hypocrite recognizes her
self In her true nature. She usually
garbs herself in a cloak Of self right
eousness, covering her inward self
with a mask OF discrimination. Her
Il am better than thou" attitude sue
ceeds In deceiving most Of the world,
including herself This pharisaism Is
one OF the commonest characteristics
Of the hypOcrite.
1t Is better to be blunt and outspo-
ken than to be hypocritical- The hypo-
critic may make more friends. but the
frank person knows her friends are
true. You want your friends to like
you for what you aTe-nOt for what
you are not. but pretend to be.
The hypOcrite parades her pretend
ed virtues before the world. Self adj
vertisement is a model OF kindness and
nobility is her pet labor. Her plausi-
hflffv fc bor hoof Ofooty q, tro1o VI,
have only to talk to her FIVE minutes
to know that she has two Bible class
es and IS the most charitable member
Of her church. According to her. she
is constantly doing good. She VIII tell
you in one breath that she has only
love in her heart for the whole world
and in the next that Mrs. Brown is no
doubt respectable woman. but that
she shouldn't be so indiscreet.
The awful part about the hypocrite
is that she can do more harm to a
girls character in one minute than a
frank person can do in a year. The
outspoken girl viii talk to you against
person and you win know right
away that she Is talking Of some one
she greatly dislikes You can tell, con-
sequently, that her opinion Of the per
son In question IS prejudiced by her
dislike and is to be valued accord
ingly.
But the hypocrite speaks very highly
Of the person she wants to Islander.
Then she inserts a but and a slight In
nuendo. Every insinuation Is preced-
ed BY a fiattering comment The i'm
preston you receive at once Is that
this criticism must be quite unpreju-
diced. as the talker said so many nice
things too. Every harmful innuendo
Is doubled in importance because you
think that II woman who IL such q
friend can say such things they must |
be true.

exacting social duties which were 50
ably performed by her mother back In
the Harrison administration when John
W. Foster, her father, was secretary

Mrs. Lansing, then Eleanor Foster,

having been graduated from Smith

The wife Of the secretary OF state is

Mrs. Lansing make notable place for

good cOnversationalist, quick at re-
partee and somewhat Of a wit Fur
thermore, Mrs. Lansing is the young
est woman upon whom the duty OF
leading the cabinets social affairs has
fallen in many years
Mrs. Lansing was married to Mr..
Lansing in 1890 in the home Of her IA
Their on street, where the Fosters
lived for many years. The Lansing
wedding was attended by a notable
gathering, including President Harri-
sand and family, Vice President Nor

Mr.. Lansing took his bride to a new
home In WATERFOWL, n. z, where they
have always lived except for the time
spent In Washington They spent
many winters with General and Mrs.

pointed counselor Of the state depart
ment, and since then they have con-
tinued to make their home with the

luxurious home on Eighteenth street,
just opposite the Austro- Hungarian
