ORDER HAD HIM "IN THE AIR"
soatswain's Mate Considerably Mud died by Command That Was
 Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is strong. As Chief Bostswain McCar- thy. [. s. N, has shown in an article in The Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute" the adherence to GUS tom extends to the manner in which the boatswain's calls are varied for different occasions. and even. in the old navy, at least. 1t extended to the way in which the officers gave their orders.
 The language used in passing words was the verEacniar Of the sailor rather than academic English. and the officer who did not know that usually got poor results from the boatswain's mate, who lad his c~n ideas about passing the word. and got muddled in interpreting my unusual order
 On one occasion, the officer of the morning watch gave this order: "Boatswain's mate, scrub down with fapidity." This was s new one. and .fter causing the officer to repeat the order three times, the boatswain's s mate become desperate. He grabbed ! deck bucket. and forced it into the land of the nearest apprentice, whom ne started on his way with push that ;ent the youDgster reeling. and fol- lowed him with this shout:
 "Go to the captain Of the hold and ask him for a bucketful of il, l never heard of anything to scrub deck with out sand and lime, and l don't know anything about ttese new 'soogy- noodgies.' Youths Con- panion.

 No bungalow is complete without a chimney and fireplace. If .he chim- uey IS built by using rough stones. as the illustration shows. 1t is al! the more artistic. Generally such stone can be picked lp in the neighborhood. and there always is a clever mason somewhere within reach who can work such stone into . solid sub stantial chimney that is both 4seful and ornamental for ever afterwards.
 The fireplace to DC satisfactory. is lined with fire brick in the usual way. and the nue is large and drafty A good draft and . good fire are necessarily clLsely con nected. A draft is useless withom a fire except for ventilation purposes and . fire is worse than useless with out . draft Some masons forget to build the draft into the chim. ney. and they are the fellows who are remembered by house owners for years to come.
 The living room is 1s feet $ inches by l2 feet. size sufficient to dress up nicely with the right kind of furniture and rugs. Always a large living room may be made attractive by the artistic use of rugs and furni- ture made to it into the general dec oratiye scheme. Large living rooms require well-made large pieces of fur niture selected to ft the room. Of course. the woodwork. which always consists of hardwood floor. plain baseboard with window and door trim to match. has a great deal 10 do with the final finish of the room.
 The front entrance of this little bungalow is built into the corner for two reasons. IL permits straight passage from the street to the front door. leaving the main part of the front porch or terrace. ss such porches are sometimes called. free for chairs and swinging seats. The front door opens into a vestibule which contains a clothes cupboard that reaches to the ceiling The cupboard is fitted with large drawers in the bottom to hold articles Of clothing that may be stored away m such places. so tha; the main living room IS left free from disturbances.
