arrangement of Roof Gives Most Interesting Effect to the
 Structure.
SHlNGlE SIDING A FEATURE
ioea Has Been to Arrange Designs to Carry Out the General Arehitec- sursi Effeet-tishts Are Made on the Multiple Win
 dow Plan.

A cobblestone trim with shingle sid ing gives this five room cottage house distinguished appearance.
 An interesting effect is produced by giving different angles and pitches to The roof, which effect is extended out over the front steps by the level top Of the pergola It is not often that a roof is designed commencing with q level. then stepping up to square pitch.
 The rubble stone wall piers and chimney all help to produce an un- usual front. The manner of shingling the sides of the house is different from Inc ordinary. but it helps to carry out the architectural effect. as intended.
 This manner of siding houses uses up just about as many shingles as it does to space them evenly, but it gets away from the ordinary way of laying shingles and it makes a distinction between the sides of the house and the roof. The joints are broken the same and the covering is just as thick and valuable, the only difference is in the appearance.
 The windows are built or the null tiple window plan, but they are so ar ranged as to produce the easement window appearance. Because Of the double sash. any window may be opened at the top or bottom in the usual way. They may be screened, ourtained and shaded according to the best custom, so that the women have no objections to offer. This probably accounts for the use of so many win dows built in this way.

factories make box frames any size and to contain as many windows as the plan calls for. There are weight boxes between each two windows, so the sashes are hung by sash weights in the usual way. The idea is new in house lighting.
 Twenty or thirty years ago the fad was to make windows narrow. Some of them were mere slits in the wall. Sometimes the wall was beveied away outside to admit slanting rays Of light into the darkened rooms. But people soon tired of such dungeons, and the fashion pendulum seems to have swung clear over in the other direc- tion and the style now demands as much light and sunshine as possible.
 Years ago windows were fitted with outside blinds. It was customary for the women to go around each morn ing and close the blinds to keep the

MuddIed lepisiation.

The dyeing industry, now so much under discussion, was once the subject of a curious piece of muddled legisla- ton. In the reign of George III bill was introduced into parliament for regulating the use Of madder in dye ing. In it's passage through the house it gathered some sixty sections Of re- strictions and enactments. but some how in the chopping and changing the word 'madder" became entirely de leted. and accordingly the measure was imperative from the first Pal Msn Gazette.

room and to merge with the built-in cabinet work in such way as to ere ate envy among the neighbors.
 The two bedrooms and the bath room are connected by short hall way with doors opening both into the dining room and kitchen. The kitch- en, pantry, cellarway and back porch of this little cottage house are very compact and conveniently arranged for doing the housework. In a cottage more attention usually is paid to the cellar than in houses. which is one reason for designing a good stairway to go down to the basement. The basement in a cottage house often is used for different kinds Of storag and there are good many trips made down and up in the couIse Of a work day.
