Someone whose occupation, or bust
ness. is the thinking up Of pretty
things must have turned her attention
recently to artificial flowers. For these
cunning copies of natures beauty-won-
ders are compelling attention every
where because they are used in new
and unusual ways. We are used to
seeing them in corsage bouquets and
replacing natural flowers in the limou-
sine. We are familiar with them in
girdles about the waist and In
wreaths about the hair, but these are
only mere beginnings of their useful
ness as it has been lately developed.
Everywhere little blossoms nestle
in bows and rosettes of malines or
lace, ornamenting collars and cuffs.
They bangle, in place of ribbons, in
hanging sprays from the giEdle. They
are perched in bright sprays ON the
party or the shopping bag, and they
adorn the pincushion, the perfume

SUPPLYING THE, FIRING LINE
How Cartridges Are Conveyed to Sol.
dfers Actually at the Front and
Possibly Advancing.

Probably many have at times won
dered how rife and other ammunition
is conveyed to those actually in the
firing line, especially when the troops
are being rapidly pushed forward as an
advance takes place. Motor traction
is used for the most part in the British
lines, and many Of the London motor
'omnibuses convey the spall ammuni-
tfon for rifles and machine guns. They
are sent forward as close to the firing
line as is thought safe. Every driver
in charge Of these vahicles IL given
careful instructions az to the units
whose pouches and bandoliers he has
to replenish, how many rounds are to
be issued per man, and where the regi-
ment is located. Thus the indiscrimi-
mate distribution of cartridges is re-
duced to minimum. Otherwise one
regiment might have more than it we'll

The beauty of home depends on
the method Of handling the many lit
tie details that go into the making of
a house. There are thousand ways
of making these little things different
from the average run of houses and
thus giving a distinctive touch to your
home. OF course it requires little
ingenuity and time to think Of these
things.
Many people. when they start to
build home, will get their mind set
on a certain room that they need
the plan, the rest of the house is built
around it, and all the other details
that are just as important are neglect
ed. In order to build house that is
to be satisfactory all the time, it is
necessary to get good broad view of
the general arrangement Of the house,
with the pet room as the controlling
idea Everyone has seen houses that
are planned with just one idea in mind,
and none of them are ever satisfactory
when thew are completed.
A beautiful living room will never
make home If the kitchen is arranged
so that everything is as inconvenient
as possible. The working part of the
house is just as important as any other
and should receive its share of atten-
ton. Get all the various parts in mind
and then build your house around
them.
There are also various other items
besides the arrangement of the rooms
that should be considered Take the

to be useful as well as ornamental. A

Advancement in Siberia.

A number of new commercial enter
prises have recently been undertaken
in northeast Siberia. Many iodine
works have been established in the
neighborhood of Vladivostok, on the
shore of the Japanese sea, the iodine
being made from seaweed found there
in abundance. An interesting distil-
lery for ether has been opened, the
bulk Of the ingredients being violets
and iris blossoms from the Ussuri
countryside. A good deal of amber
is being collected from the beach
many new salt workings have been
opened in the government of Irkutsk
and in the Lena hinterland in the vi
cinity of Viluisk.

placing of the porch in the little bunga-
low shown here, for instance. Instead
of being handled in the usual way it
is built at the corner of the house.
The entrance is also at the corner,
which has been cut off to accommodate
the door. This arrangement illustrates
the possibilities OF just one part of
the house.
The front door design is also out Of
the ordinary. Instead of plain panel
door with a plain door knob, this door
has several ideas incorporated In it
arrangement. The hinges are of heavy
brass and extend almost across the
door. The knob and plate are also Of
the same heavy material to harmonic
with the hinges. Instead of one broad
window across the top of the door. a
paneled effect Is obtained by placing
narrow strips of glass across the door
horizontally. There are four of these
strips.
The door fixtures illustrate the DOS
sibilities of builders hardware. 1t has
often been said that door can either
make plain house beautiful or beau
tiful house plain A door as hand
some as this will certainly have a
marked effect on anyone and will put
them in mood to appreciate the beau
ties Of the interior decorations.
The corner entrance in this room
presents an excellent opportunity to
develop an artistic floor plan. A dag
onal wall is built from the stairway in
the central part Of the house to little
closet that is placed in front Of the
entrance. The closet Is of triangular
shape Two rooms OF the house can
be reached from the reception hall.
On the right is the living room and
on the left is a door leading to the
dining room
Across the living room from the re-
ception hall is coy corner den that
is one of the pleasantest features of
the floor plan. A big fireplace is built
in this room and a double easement
window provides the light on one side
of the room. A few easy chairs and
a table that will harmonic with the
interior decorations will make this lit
tie den an unusually attractive spot
A large unobstructed floor space is
available in this plan, as the diagonal

readily accessible. The two bedrooms
in the opposite back corner of the
house from the kitchen can be reached
through this hall. The basement is
made with plenty Of headroom so that
a heating plant can be installed. The
house is built well off the ground,
to make this possible.
If storage room for fruits and vege-
tables is desired it is well to place
the furnace in one end of the basement
rather than in the center The storage
room can thus be kept cool, which
will keep all the perishable things in
