eeThere is no good life but love-but
Lowell
What else looks good, is some shade
flung from love;
Love gilds it, gives it worth. Be
warned by me
Never you cheat yourself one instant:
Love,
Give love, ask only love-and leave
the rest"
Many a girl has a lover, whom she
knows would be utterly unsuited to
her as her husband. If he is of
lively turn of mind, fond of athletics,
thinking nothing of a fve-mile walk,
doting on baseball game, and re-
gatta, enjoying rollickng good an
ecdote, he has no business to take for
a wife girl who complains bitterly,
if she has to walk three blocks. If
she does not enjoy sports she has no
sympathy for those who can. Above
all, man and a wife should be COM
panionable. If he starts out for a
walk, it's a pleasure for him to have
his wife along. If she's physically
unable to do the jaunt that's another
story. If she can stand it, it's good
pair of shoes, and to take the tramp
with him. She vii get to know him
very much better than if she allows
him to go his ways alone, picking up
whatever company he can find. Men
are sociable. They like someone
whom they can unbosom their
thoughts to. Wives often wonder how
it is that men whom they do not like
at all, get such hold upon their
husband. The solution of the problem
is easy. Those men are good sports.
They can take their hikes together,
go fishing and cunning, see the races,
take a look in at the boxing bouts
The man whose wife is always ready
to accompany him, without demur-
ring-wherever he decides he'd like
to go, has no need to choose a male
friend, who is as good a sport as
himself. OF course, circumstances
alter cases. After the babies come
to the home, she cannot be expected
to indulge IN the sports he loves. But
she can do quite as well in devising
the ways and means whereby he
shall have company. Little Bobby and
the go-cart solves the problem. The
average man, if requested is only too
pleased to wheel his young son out
for an airing. One crafty little mother
devised a cart which held three. While
the father took them out for an air
ing the mother was relieved from the
care of them. He could not wheel the
kiddies so far, or so swiftly. 1t
wasn't so much of a hardship for her
to accompany the quartette. It's all in
the way in which wife breaks hus-
band in. There are men who become
restless sitting in the house all day.
She is wise who puts on her things
and goes with him, when it's so that
she can. She who loves her ease toe
much, will find it trial to be welded
i to restless man, who is always on
the go. Men and women should make
a study of each others likes and dis
Ilikes-their natures and habits-dur-
ing courtship. The man who &C
quires the habit of going alone by
himself may be gradually weaneo
from home life. Make an effort tc
be a good sport-whether you are
or no-to please him.

Basement Facilities One of the
Most Important Parts of the
Plan Outlined.
HIP ROOF ALSO A FEATURE
Much Attention Given to the Proper
Foundations of Structure That Is
Sure to Give Every Satisfac-
ton to the Occupants of
the House.
BY WILLIAM n. RADFoRD.

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No 1877 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,. and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
An English-style cottage with hip
roof and basement makes very salts
factory small house for certain level
locations where it is impractical to
excavate deep enough for regular
cellar.
There are many towns in prairie Sec
tions of the country where the fall is
not sufficient to put in deep sewers.
Also, in the more southern sections, it
is not necessary to dig sewers deep
down into the ground to avoid frost.
1t is cheaper and more satisfactory to
lay them near the surface
On such building sites basement
houses are quite common, and this
medium-sized cottage, with it's cool,
roomy basement. is well liked. The
basement, being principally above
ground, is supplied with windows al
most as large as ordinary house win
dows.
The idea is to make the basement
into splendid workroom. 1t is nat
urally cool in summer, warm in winter
and comfortable to work in during all
seasons. 1t is the proper place for the
laundry and storeroom, besides pro-
viding conveniences for doing great
many household chores.
Hip roofs are common in some COM
munities. They are we'll liked be-
cause they are neat and attractive
in appearance, and because everybody
is accustomed to seeing hip roof, or
cottage roof, as it is often called, so
that such roofs are local favorites, and
they become fixed as a permanent
fashion.
The pitch of the roofs varies in diff
ferent sections, according to the
amount of rainfall. Also, the material
for covering roofs varies in the differ
ent parts of the country, owing to local
fashions Or customs, and to the fact
that certain roofing materials are
cheaper in some places, and conse-
quently are more in demand
The foundation of house like this
usually is made of concrete or stone.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1915-06-17

The foundation walls may reach up
to the main house floor, or they may
stop at or little above the lot grade
line. 1t may be cheaper to build
superstructure of wood from the
ground level up. This is done by
placing the sill on the foundation wall,
then either build superstructure of
2 by uprights to support the house
sill, or the joists are made long enough
to reach from the foundation wall to
the plates. With this construction a
Pinch strip is gained into the studding
to support the outer ends of the floor
joists. The floor joists also are spiked
into the studding, so that the building
is all tied together at the house floor.
A very pleasing effect is secured by
building the porch partially into the
house proper. and extending it few
feet out beyond the house in the man
ner shown in the perspective.
Because the veranda floor is built
6 or feet above grade the front steps
are necessarily longer, and they are
built wide to reduce the long effect.
For the same reason the ramparts are
built at the sides of the steps in two
divisions, as shown in the perspective.
The main floor is high enough from
the ground to satisfy certain timid peo-
pie who object to living or sleeping
close down to the ground. Low-down
bedroom windows seem SO easy of ac-
cess from the outside. THIS probably
is one reason why houses of this de-
sign are SO popular in certain sec
tions Of the country. A large number
of people have horror of night prowi-
ers. very often unnecessarily so. At
the same time, they have their likes
and dislikes, all OF which affect the

house from the outside. 1t is fash
ion that looks well both inside and
outside.
The basement of this house may be
well furnished and made pleasing in
appearance as well as comfortable. II
the walls are plastered or covered
with wall board and painted, very
neat interior may be made at little ex-
ira expense.
Some of these houses are arranged
for storage in the front part of the
basement. This is naturally the cool
est end of the house. The furnace
and heating apparatus occupy large
portion of the back end, where it is
customary to have an outside en-
trance.
At the rear is double outside STAIR
way with a grade entrance. There
are 9 or 10 steps up to the porch, and
2 or steps down the other way to
the basement. This makes the base
lment easy of access from the garden,
which will be appreciated on wash
days and at other times when moving
articles in or out of the basement
storage room.

through the center of the house. d.
viding the living rooms from the sleep
ing rooms, is the most satisfactory ar
rangement.
The bathroom naturally belongs be-
tween the two bedrooms, as shown on
this plan.
The exposed interior woodwork all
through this little house is plain and
neat, being selected because the de-
sign is smooth and straight, with
square corners. These strips of plain
straight wood have taken the place of
old-fashioned holdings that often were
deeply recessed. People building these
cottage houses like to see considera-
BILE interior woodwork, so that mill
work factories are turning out pat
terms especially suitable for such ar
tistic homes. The one particular pat
ern that may be chosen is carried
through all the rooms on the main
floor, so that they all correspond in
workmanship and interior finish.
All modern houses are well lighted.
1t is the fashion to put in double or
triple windows wherever wall space
will permit. 1t is easy to shut out the
light with dark green shade, but il
the window is not there the house
keeper is helpless on dark days. Also.

"DAN MAC" OF MAINE

When the next session of congress
opens, Daniel McGillicuddy of Maine
will be a member of the important
ways and means committee of the

have a wholesome respect for his abil-

Some years ago Congressman Nc

Auburn, across the river from his
home in Lewiston. The jury was be-

MIRACLE OF MOONLIGHT

From his youth up greed had been
an inherent quality of The Man. The
son of parents in moderate circum-
stances, he made up his mind early in
life that the only thing worth while
was money, and occupied his thoughts
with the time when he should become
man and begin acquiring it.
When he began his adult life the de-
termination to attain great wealth had
become SO strong that it dominated
The Mans life. He was energetic
and honest, and life returned him
just reward, but he was neither salts
fed nor happy
When he had begun his business life
he took certain very rich man for
his standard, and made up his mind
that life should yield him just as
handsome returns, so that the COM
fort which his hard work had earned
for him and for his family seemed OF
such small consequence that it never
occurred to him as being worth a
word of thanks to the God who had
given him health Of body and mind to.
make his own way with comparative
ease in the world
AS the years went on, and he was
still very far from being man of
wealth, he looked upon the rich as liv-
ing in charmed circle, and there
came to accompany the envy and greed
which had always lived in his heart
a feeling also of bitterness.
He declared that everything worth
having could be obtained cnly with
money. and SO completely lid he ig-
more the returns which accrued to him
about that he considered them no re-
turns at all. and greater bitterness
yet took possession Of him.
One day a clear-eyed friend who saw
the way The Man was going pointed
out to him that he was masking fool
Of himself
You are so obsessed with the idea
of wealth that you are blind to your
blessings, man. said the friend.
Seek We first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness" quoted the
friend.
The Man looked at him in disgust.
1.-THE kingdom of God,' he shifted.
~Bah!"
But when he was alone the memory
of the words haunted him. He had
heard them in his childhood days, but
they had been tucked away in some
remote corner of his brain for 10. these
many years. And now one of the few
friends who seemed to understand
him, in these, his money-mad days,
threw them into his teeth.
The next day he wheeled suddenly
around in front of his friend.
Where, when, and how is the king
dom of God?" he demanded to know.
Here, now" answered the clear
eyed friend. AS to the how, every
man must work that out in his own
soul"
1t was evening. The Man was so
restless that he could not stay indoors.
All day he had been evolving schemes
in his mind for making money. Tell
ing his wife that he wanted to think
out some business matters In quiet
and did not want to be disturbed. he
pulled a comfortable chair to the far
end OF the large porch which sur
