size and the use required of it. On some farms considerable use is made of dairy by-products, while other farms require only sufficient machin- cry to separate the milk and keep the cream at the proper temperature until it is disposed of.
 For inside convenience there is a splendid easy cellar stair leading up to hallway which connects the front porch with the kitchen and living room
 The plan of the main floor as we'll as upstairs is especially interesting to farmers who want considerable house room because of the extra help that is necessary at certain seasons of the year.
 Farmers are obliged to bring a good deal of business into the house, which requires an office. Accommodation for extra help is needed at times in addition to the private living rooms for the family.
 In this plan there Is a side porch built especially for an entrance to the office and mems quarters. Entering from the porch is a washroom with a good-sized wardrobe for the especial

use of the men. From this room there is stairway leading to the two bed rooms upstairs, which are set aside for the use of the men kept by the month or year.
 There Is an extra bedroom down. stairs that is intended for occasional use when it is necessary to keep an extra man for a few days.
 The dining room, kitchen and iiv- ing room are arranged especially for convenience in combining the working features with home comfort and ac- commodation for help at meal time. The Washroom at one side of the din- ing room, with the pantry and kitchen on the other side, is intended to keep the men out of the kitchen at meal time, a feature that will be appre- ciated by every farm housekeeper.
 The dining room is 12 by IT feet. which is supposed to be large enough for all ordinary occasions. At thresh- ing time it may be necessary to open the double doors into the living room

Large farmhouses for business farms are built differently from any other kind of residence.
 The business of farming is carried on to make money; therefore. part of the house becomes an office and a workshop. At the same time the main object in building a house is to pro the family.
 The house design herewith illustrat- ed shows a successful combination comprising many advantages. It is A by 29 feet $ inches in size on the ground, exclusive of the front and side porches.
 This splendid farmhouse was built on ground sloping slightly from the front to the back, so that more of the basement wall is exposed at the back, or what might be termed the business side of the house.
 There is a concrete wall s feet in height, including the footings. This wall is the full size of the house and encloses a splendid basement. The concrete basement floor is built up a little above the footings. so that space between the surface of the floor and the bottom of the floor joists of the main living room measures feet inches in the clear.
 There is a cross wall which divides the cellar into two main divisions, one of which contains the vegetable eel
The Monticellonian., 1915-08-05

lar, cold storage and refrigerator. The other part is divided into creamery, laundry, and general workroom and fuel bin. The cold-storage part of the cellar or basement comes under the front living rooms. which is an ad- vantage in several ways
 The wall is buried a few inches deeper into the excavations along the front part of the house; also there is less noise in the storage part to disturb the quiet of the living rooms. The work in the basement is done un- der the kitchen, dining room and of fee, where a little noise is not objec- tionable.
 The windows in the front or stor- age part of the cellar are of the usual cellar-window type. but the windows lighting the workrooms may be made deeper to furnish plenty of light
 There is a septic tank provided to take care of the sewage from the house, and the yitrified tile drain ex- tends from the bottom of the laundry room to empty into this tank 100 or 200 feet away. This vitrified sewer is trapped and ventilated in the usual way.

 Bulgarian girls are bright dressers. The village holiday brings out won derful array of gaudy costumes. straight and awkward in line, but bril- liant in color and decoration, the writer tells The women's big waists are usually emphasized by huge silver buckles. When, however girl is young and pretty, her abundant, curly hair into which are braided bright threads or ribbons, with often a flower in her ear, her bright color heightened by the gay embroideries, and her slen- der figure. which the straightness of her dress cannot spoil, make her an | attractive vision.
 The pleasures of the girls Miss Jen- kins describes:
 "A girl in Bulgarian village is not without her amusements As in the Bible times. all the water for village must be draXn n from one or two wells or springs, and these watering places or fountains are the scene of much sociability. Hither come all the youths and maidens of the village to loter There is coquetting and eourting about the fountain and home gather ings in the evenings. Marriages spring from mutual attraction and choice. rather than the arrangement of fami- lies, as do the Armenian and Turkish alliances.
 There are husking bees and quilt ing bees where the young people meet, but the most popular form of social entertainment is the sedanka. Here assemble the young men and women Of the village and adjoining farms. grouped about an open fire, singing solos and choruses. The Bull garian folk dances are danced in a row or circle. the leader generally waving a bright handkerchief and turning and twisting about his fine of followers. like mild game of snap the whip

Flower of the Evenino.

It is when the sun goes to bed that the evening primrose's morning dawns. It is one of the denizens of the Great White way of the Flower city, waking while the world sleeps and sleeping while the world wakes. At the approach of evening it decks itself in yellow and white. perfumes itself with the most seductive of sweet-smelling odors, and prepares to welcome the sphinx moths that come to tarry and to sip it's sweetness through the long silent night. One night of revelry is enough for a flower of "milady primrose" for when morn- ing dawns the corolla wits. hangs awhile and then drops away. She pays dearly for her night of dissipation.

LAND MARINES AT
 PORT All PRINCE
WASHINGTON GIVES FRANCE PERMISSION TO GUARD LEGA-
 TON IN THAT CITY.
FORCE WILL BE INCREASED
It Is Estimated By Admiral caperton There Are About t2,0oo Men
 Capable of Bearing Arms.

Washington.-Fra has been given permission by the United States to land marines at Port Au Prince, Haiti, for the protection of the French lega- tion in that city. where Admiral Ca perton is in control.
 The Navy Department gave out the following statement:
 Last night Secretary of the Navy Daniels received a dispatch from Ad- miral Caperton stating that the French minister at Port Au Prince had re. quested permission to land small de- tachment from the French cruiser Descartes to guard the French lega- ton, as he considered it fitting that the legation should be guarded by French troops.
 Secretary Daniels, after confer ence with Secretary of State Lansing, cabled Admiral Caperton to afford all facilities to the French minister for the landing of crews"
 This attitude of France shows that she at least regards the United States as in unprecedented control of the af- fairs in Haiti In the opinion of off ciais, it shows also that, after the landing of marines by Admiral Caper- ton, the United States must be re- garded by foreign nations as fully re- sponsible for eventualities. The United States will thus take care of not only English and French, but German and Austrian and other interests.
 It was stated that the danger in the city is regarded as increasing It is expected by navy officials that as Admiral Caperton has cabled that department will at a moments notice send a thousand marines as re-enforce- ments from Philadelphia, either by the Hancock or by the North Dakota OF by both
 Navy officers say that the situation may be made critical for the 400 ma rines in Port au Prince at any moment. They estimate the population at about 60,000. There are, therefore, about 12.000 men capable of bearing arms Tn the city and suburbs. Admiral Caper- ton, officials say. foresaw the danger of attack from the citizen snipers and persuaded the local authorities that it was in the interest of all concerned that firearms should be taken away from every citizen.
 It is said that about 5000 guns have already been stacked up in the nation al palace, which is being guarded by Admiral Caperton with a strong guard

vides easy access into the basement. The number of steps will, of course. depend on the depth of the wall below ground at the back.
 A creamery Il by IA feet inches is partitioned off in one corner, where the work of separating the cream and making butter may be carried on. if so desired.
 The large workroom Is intended to hold the warm-air furnace. a wash ing machine to launder by power. a laundry stove. mangle and any other laundry machinery required. Wash ing on farms is done by power and regular washing machines to greater extent than is generally realized
 The size of the vegetable and cold storage rooms may be varied to meet the requirements of different farms.
 The chimney starting from cold storage room is no detriment, because there is no heat in the bottom of the chimney The heat all goes up.
