The house is not big enough to af
ford a dining room Dining rooms
are a nuisance anyway. Our grand,
mothers used to cook in the kitchen
and lift the hot. steaming appetizers
directly from the stove to the table,
Modern fashionable inventions for
serving meals intervene so many
roundabout processes that the best
of eatables are spoiled in the circum.
locution.
Here is kitchen lighted with four
windows, and darkened by thick
heavy shades that may be pulled
down to keep out part or all of the
sunlight. 1t has a white floor of hard
wood. white Dashboard and white
window and door trim, with white
walls and ceilings, making a model
room that is bright enough and clean
enough to satisfy the most particular
people at meal time or any other time
A cooking range kept in good condi-
ton is an interesting article of furni-
ture. Probably one Of the greatest
charms of bungalow life is the oppor-
tunity II affords to 60 back to original
simplicity.
Modern house plumbing is repre-
sented in the bathroom and at the
kitchen sink, where hot and cold wa
ter are supplied for domestic DUR
poses in the most approved manner.

No bungalow is complete without
chimney and fireplace. II the chin
ney IS built by using rough stones, as
the illustration shows, il is all the
more artistic. Generally such stone
can be picked up in the neighborhood,
and there always is a clever mason
somewhere within reach who can
work such stone into a solid sub
stantial chimney that is both useful
and ornamental for ever afterwards.
The fireplace to be satisfactory,
is lined with fire brick in the usual
way, and the flue is large and
drafty. A good draft and
good fire are necessarily closely con-
nected A draft is useless without
a fire except for ventilation purposes,
and fire is worse than useless with.

The front entrance of this little

two reasons. 1t permits a straight
passage from the street to the front |

and swinging seats. The front door

There is no room upstairs in a

which the architect has succeeded in
weaving combination of ideas that
result In a beautiful picture.
The front veranda is too wide for
the roof SO that an awning supported
on curved iron brackets is substituted
This arrangement permits of rolling
the awning up and back under the
caves when not required as a protec-
tion against rain or sun. These
brackets are blacksmith-made and are
rounded outward with hooks at the
bottom to catch the curtain pole. The
width OF the awning and the length
OF the curtain brackets are measured
to correspond so the curtain pole is
supported in such a way as TO per-
NIT the drip to run freely off onto the
shrubbery. There also is a way To
form an cave gutter in the canvas
that will lead the rain water off To
one corner Of the building. II is an

to have special Jewish representa-
tives at the peace negotiations to
look after the specific Jewish inter-
ests. Whatever influence should be
brought to bear at the proper time
should orr ginate with the American
Jewish Committee, which is the
most suitable unifying Jewish agent
in America today.
For the present, however, I repeat
what we need is to raise relief funds
to a much larger extent than we
have done so far. There has been
too much apathy among the Ameri-
can Jews. They have done much
less than at the time of the Kishineff
rlassacres, when almost a million
and half was raised. Now, with
Conditions infinitely worse, we have
thus far not been able to raise half
as much as was readily given them.
Unfortunately we have become used
to horrors and they do not touch us
any more as deeply as they should.
Moreover, we have weighty and
costly problems of Our own at home.
We have to expend such enormous
sums for home problems that Amer
lean Jewry seems unable to bear
much more. But Notwithstanding
this more must be forthcoming. We
Jews must give until it hurts, until
1t really becomes self-sacrifce; we
must stir up our people to the ter
rlble condition of our brethren
abroad. And each of us should do
his share in making known the
tragic conditions and arousing the
Jews OF America from their apathy.

"When Peace Negotiations Begin,
We Should Take United Action"

What part America and the Am
erican Jews should play in the ef-
forts to bring about permanent bet
torment of Jewish conditions else
where, it is hard to say. America
has already gone pretty far by
breaking off commercial treaty rela-
tons will. Russia. Whether the
United States could or should go
further is difficult to judge at this
time. 1t is certainly clear that the
solution of the Jewish problem in
Russia along the lines already sug-
gested would solve the passport
problem and would pave the way for
the resumption of regular treaty and
commercial relations between the
two countries.
do not think there is anything to
do now for the Jews and for Jewish
bodies in America except to work
tremendously together in the rails
ing of relief funds. Of course, we
must always be on the alert and
ready to take a definite position
whenever the proper time arrives.
But not now. When peace negotia-
tons begin to be talked about,
think it will be we'll for such bodies
as the American Jewish Committee,
possibly the B'nai Birth and other
organizations, to take united action.
What action they should take it is
hard to say. 1t is very difficult
question to decide at this moment
whether or not it would be advisable

II Am Afraid England Has Been
Contaminated By Her Alliance
With Russia"
But I am afraid that England too
has been contaminated by her ALI
ance with Russia, because England
doesn't want to do anything that is
displeasing to her ally, more
through fear to offend her than
through respect for her. So far, at
least, it has not come true, as it was
hoped in certain quarters, that Eng
land might apply pressure upon
Russia to obtain an improvement in
the conditions of the Jews. And un-
fortunately the conditions in Eng
land itself affecting the Jews are
certainly not as good now as they
have been formerly. England has
always been our great friend. In
England there existed no such thing
as anti-Semitism. But now there
are, fear, signs of a change.
In Germany the Jews do not suf-
fer. They have a high standing and
occupy many high positions. There
has, it is true, always been GER
tain anti-Semitic tendency in Ger
many. But think this war will
crush out most of that, in fact all
class differences. I am quite con-
WINGED that anti-Semitism in Ger
many is thing of the past.
