The sand was wet and reelected the
light Of the moon. Beyond were the
lights. slowly growing more distinct as
he advanced. Usually there was at
night desultOry firing, not so far from
the shore but that it could be heard.
Tonight there was absolute silence Of
war. There was the moaning Of the
waves on the bar, with their nearer rus

At any rate, he looked at 1t, concen-

A short distance from the camp he
came to a place where reeds grew out
Of marshy spot just above the foam

Scenting danger wherever there was n

the black spot was directly in line with
the reeds. 1t seemed TO him as he
walked that the spot advanced. keep

Suddenly he felt his legs giving way
under him. He fell headlong on the
sand, gaspcd and died.
A figure with rifle rose up from
among the reeds and advanced toward

room, where considerable ingenuity
merges the chimney into a fireplace
where it blends with and supports q
wooden mantel, designed especially tc
form a prominent unit of the inside
house finish which extends through
the living room, reception hall and en-
circles the dining room.
One kind of woodwork is selected and
millworked to one particular design
The design is worked out, molding
fashion, in sections, which may be
built up to considerable proportions
For instance, the Dashboard is fin
ished at the top with plain, simple
o. G. cap that curves gracefully ovel
to meet the plaster, without leaving
level ledge. The same graceful o. q
curve marks the outside finish of al
holdings in the three rooms. The
crown molding at the joining of the
side walls with the ceiling is finished
in the same manner at both the upper
and lower edges.
The plate rail in the dining-room is
made to correspond. Openwork in the
stairway and all other work In the
reception hall is turned out in the
same way. The buffet at the end oil
the dining room is connected with the
other woodwork by bands of moldine
at the bottom and top that extend
clear around the room, so that the
blending of the interior woodwork in
the front part Of the house is just as
pleasing as the general architectural
effect produced outside.
Kitchen woodwork is by no means
neglected, but the designs are more
simple and the finish is all in white.

We see house we like. Not having
studied the principles upon which
modern architecture is founded we do
not attempt to analyze the cause or
the reason why the house has pleas

that architects have spent many years
in learning how to produce such effects.
A symmetrical house Of pleasing ap-
pearance is made up OF many little
things. In certain kinds OF brick
houses the white plaster seams show
prominently. Other house walls show
no plaster in the seams. The plaster
ing is done differently to produce diff
ferent effects. When the plastering is
cut out to a depth of, say, three-eighths
of an inch, there is a shadow between
each two bricks, both at the ends and
sides. Thousands of these little shad-
ow marks, varying in shade, cover the
building with a blending of color that
defies description.
In this particular design a pleasing
effect is secured by the treatment OF
the gables. The projection Is just

much floor area in the upper story as

utilized for the large front bedroom.
It will be noticed that there is an

with the cement walk that leads to
the front porch. Also that the front

A solid story-and-ahalf house OF
very neat design is shown in the ac-
companying perspective and floor plan.
The house is placed sideways to the
street. a manner of building that is
liked from the fact that it presents
a broader outlook in the most inter
esting direction.
A house 38 feet in width really re-
quires a 60-foot lot. The appearance
of a house depends a good deal upon
the manner in which 1t fits the lot.
House builders have a habit of en-
croaching upon each other on streets
that are particularly desirable, so that
the placing of house on lot means
a good deal because of possible future
contingencies.
For this very reason experienced
property owners advocate wide houses,
because the front view can never be
seriously DISTRACTED.
Sometimes on certain streets in fine
residence sections there are building
restrictions that are written into deeds
conveying the lots. Purchasers of
such lots usually agree to place the
house a certain number OF feet back
from the street line, and a certain
number of feet from the north or east
line of the lot. Also the minimum
