No one can tell when the bride Of
today will introduce the mode of to-
day in some detail of her wedding
gown, be 1t ever so conventional in
style. For since her choice of fabrics
may lie anywhere from tulle to bro
cade, falling upon the lightest or the
heaviest or any of the gradations be-
tween, she has as wide a choice in
design. This follows because she must
adapt style to the fabric, and there
fore we have wedding gowns and
wedding gowns, no two alike and all
interesting.
But brides are apparently Of one
mind as to the treatment of the bodice.
Nearly all Of them choose the conven-
uonal long sleeve and the unconven-
tional V-shaped neck. more or less
low.
AS to skirts, they may be short and
wide, in thin materials. and unframed
A girlish French model OF lace and

mode thus far. the designer appears
to have repented. The very long

that are absolutely necessary to do 0
satisfactory job of house painting.
Hip roofs or cottage roofs. as they
are commonly called in many sections
of the country, look better when the
pitch is low. Old houses built in this
way are still attractive when they
stand plumb and are we'll painted.
Hip roofs are cheaper to build than
any other form of roof when the saw.
ing in gables is figured in. It is all
plain straight work except framing
the rafters, and that job is no great
puzzle. The roof may be made OF
light material, because it is easily
braced and supported from the house
partitions. Sometimes the studdings
are extended to meet the rafters.
When this is done a very solid house
frame is the result.
There is a big cellar under this lit,
tie cottage that may be made useful
for storage by running partitions
across to separate the heating plant
from the other rooms. The laundry
in the basement of a cottage house or
bungalow should amount to more than
the laundry in a two-story house, be.
cause the extra space should be made
to count for as much as possible.
The laundry under this house should
be fitted with the usual stationary
tubs, but 1t also needs laundry stove
and large work table, mangle and
good ironing boards. There should be
a good thick rug on the concrete floor
to stand on while doing the ironing.
Such a laundry room needs good
deep windows that may be easily
opened for ventilation when necessary.
1t then makes a shop where tools and
labor-saving conveniences may be per-
manently installed for use week aftes
week the year round. Too little at
tention is paid to laborsaving conven.
fences to help out in house work.
The floor plan of this cottage house
is laid out for comfort. The two bed.
rooms and bathroom occupy one side Of
the house, preferably the side to the
north or east. The bedrooms are
used less than the living rooms and
it is not necessary to have much heat
in bedroom.
The living room and dining room
could be easily made into one large
living room with a fireplace in the
far end. The only change necessary
would be to connect the dining room
and pantry with a doorway, which
would be an improvement over the
plan of placing the doorway between
the dining room and kitchen. The
chimney would be larger and placed
in the center of the dining room wall.
This one big chimney would answer
for the furnace in the basement, the
kitchen range and the large fireplace
in the living room without adding very
much to the expense of the house.
A fireplace at the end OF this long
sitting room-parlor with a built-in
bookcase and buffet to match makes
a very pleasant finish and helps to fur
nish the room. Freplaces when well

First impressions go long way to-
ward shaping ones liking for a house.
When approaching a bungalow like
this, the visitors first impression
takes the form Of thorough appreci-
alton of its clean, bright appearance.
In addition it possesses an atmosphere
of hospitality, as though real human
beings live there and that they enter,
tain their friends in friendly, honey
manner. Real genuine hospitality
turks about such home and radiates
in every direction.
In summer time there is a warm
weather invitation to enjoy the loung-
ing furniture on the front porch, that
seems to be offered almost as soon
as you step from the street to the
private cement walk that leads to the
front door.
This front porch veranda is II by s
feet in size, planned so that the main
front entrance door comes almost OPP
posite the front steps, thereby leaving
the wing Of the porch free for the
outdoor sitting room furniture.
A woman likes to transform such a
veranda wing into coy summer par
Tor, furnished with wicker-work
chairs, and probably a small reading
or sewing table, made of the same
material, in such a way as to make
a very comfortable outdoor reception
room. She selects a rug for the floor
that is In keeping with the other fur
nishings, and there are numerous pill
lows in suitable colors to carry out
the general decorative scheme.

SUPERSTITION OF Mr.. MORTON

Levi P. Morton, yice-president un-
der the second President Harrison,
who has just celebrated his ninety
first birthday, has successfully wealth
cred a superstition, over which he is
congratulating himself as much as over
the fact that he is well on the way to
a full century of life. When eighty
nine years old he wanted to live In
a new house In Washington, which he
had determined upon as his winter
residence, giving up New York city,
where he had lived. He also wished
to have the house on the site of the
one he had occupied while vice-presi-
dent and which he owned. He was
aware, however, Of the superstition
that when a man pulls down an old
home OF his and displaces 1t with a
new house he is likely to die in 1t in
the course of the first year OF his oc-
cupation Of It. Nevertheless he was
determined to have the new house,

An interesting story is being told

taking walks downtown in the busi-

any automobile or carriage, as rule,
when he wishes to go from one place

Of all the prominent persons who have

between the Riggs National bank and

HEIR TO GREEK THRONE

Should death be the result of the
illness OF King Constantine of Greece,
It will bring to the throne one of the
most soldierly young princes of Eu-
ropes young royalty. Crown Prince
George, the oldest son of King Con-
stantine and Queen Sophia, saw serv-
Ice in the two Balkan wars and gained
q reputation for bravery and valorous
performance. He was wounded in
action at Janina. Until the present
war he enjoyed the distinction Of be-
ing the only heir to a European throne
who bore the scars Of battle. He is
twenty-five years old.
Reports conflict as to the stand
Prince George takes concerning the
great European war now going on. One
has 1t that the heir apparent has been
identified with the war party and Is
an intimate friend of ex-Premier
Eleutherios Venizelos, who resigned
recently as head of the Greek cabinet
