Chance for Progression.

It has always been said of our busi-
ness and of our banking that it was
too provincial. 1t now has a chance
to break the shelf Of provircialism.
Our bankers can prove their intelli-
gent ability to become real merchants
in credit instead of mere conductors
of a brokerage traffic in accommoda-
tion. Our business men can demon
strate their capacity to take world
view of trade by relying no longer
on having business brought to them.

NOVEL, USEFUL WORK CASE
EsbeciaIIy Handy When 1t Is Found
Necessary to Do Needlework
Away From Home.

It often happens that small guam

away from home, and a work case
that can be easily carried is a very
useful possession.
The case we show here is carried
out in dark brown silk, lined with pale

and the sides are stiffened with pieces

pass on to the junk man. AS d rule,
this lack of storage space is caused by
the fact that the usual bungalow is
built with very fat gable roof set as
low as possible to produce the effect
of broadness and to destroy the ap-
pearance of height. This effort is
made necessary in order that the fun
damental idea of the bungalow may be
expressed in the design. Bungalows
are not supposed to be high. They are,
in'the pure type, single-story buildings.
and since this feature is their inher-
ent mark Of distinction the CONTRAST is
carried still farther by placing Il roof
on them which will emphasize their
fiatnesS.
In fact, the roof is of prime impor-
tanee in a bungalow, for it is in the
roof that the greatest effect may be
obtained in adjusting the appearance
of the structure to meet the demand
for somerning distinctive or something
new. AS rule, when the appearance
of the house is the governing factor,
the roof will be given such form that
very little storage space is possible
but, if necessary, there is no reason
why the designer cannot produce Il
structure of the distinct bungalow type
and still shape the roof in such a man,
ner that a generous attic space is pro
vided.

space above the first floor without de

The arrangement of rooms and the

The tables were turned. I laughed
outright as I realized 1t. There, back
in the timber, at lonely spot which
few would visit or pass, had left
stalwart Mexican soldier tied hand
and foot. Certainly 1 was safe from
his pursuit until morning.
The way it had come about was
this: For several days had been To-
Gated at Mayena with the United
States troops. I was taking photo
.dcles and had become quite well ac-
Quainted with Lieutenant Harney Ros-
sitter. Before coming to Mayena I had
been for week at PulZa. There had
met Miss Wentworth and her family.
The impression made upon me by Miss
Wentworth was a lasting one. When
Lieutenant Rossiter stated that he
knew the Wentworths there was a
friendly bond established between us
at once. It suffered a severe strain
my last hour in camp, however. Ros-
sitter came to me looking anxious and
distrustful.
'You told me you were going back
to Pulza?' he said, and inquiringly.
'T've got to-" I told him. 81 left

meeting with the charming Miss
Wentworth.

NAedIess Work.

It is necessary, if one would avoid
needless stains and soil, to train
children to keep their hands off walls
within and without their own homes
and those of other people. The in
evitable result of much play is soiled
hands, and it were a needless cruelty
to expect children to be always inn
maculate. These fingers, fresh from
balls and tools and stone, and all man
ner of dust and muck, go thoughtlessly
against your front door, your light
colored weather boarding, your portico
pillars or railings. They respect not
the wallpaper on the stairway or else
where; out go the hands as their own
ers pass up and down, and in and out,
and everywhere there are deface-
ments. 1t is q simple matter to tutor
your own children to refrain from
this habit, but you suffer from othel
boys and girls as we'll. Mothers in
general should warn their children to
keep hands off at home and in the
homes of others. 1t is not pleasant to
the tidy housekeeper to note, after
a housecleaning, fresh finger marks
waiting to greet the first caller. ..tsrs.s

by large white pearl buttons. The
waistline is slightly raised, dispensing
with belt of any kind.
The skirt shown is cut to instep
length, but this greatly added length is
an innovation that is in the expert
mental stage. 1t detracts from the skirt
both in comfort and smartness. The
chances are that skirts will make some
concession to the new mode as to
length, but good sense will not extend
them below the ankles. The shorter
skirt is cleaner and better looking.
Two pretty rebels in the realm of
fashion have successfully defied the

almost without trimming. They are

decorations, in both cases, are made

ers that grow apparently are used for
the small, exquisitely made trimmings
that milliners are applying to hats of

Got Lid at a Bargain.

Mistress McHaudem is a very keen
hand at a bargain and few have ever
been able to boast that they have "got
the best O. her" in deal. The other
day she entered the village shop, where
everything and anything, from a pair
of spectacles down to an ounce of tea,
can be purchased, and said "Wad ye
sell me a sugar basin without the
cover?"
"Oh, aye" said the merchant, who
would sell the shoes off his feet at a
profit.
Hoo muckle is this, then?" inquired
the customer.
That's a shullin' complete"
San whit for the basin withoot the

"Weel, the lids no worth mair nor
penny"
"Eh,s that's guild news" calculated
the lady, with sigh of relief. 'It's jist
the lid O. mine I've broken" And so
saying she laid down penny and
walked off with the coveted lid before
the astonished shopkeeper had time to
utter a word.

room.
The door from the porch opens into
an entry which has a small closet for
wraps. On the other side of the entry
is cased opening leading to the Iiv-
ing room. The view from this entry,
of the fireplace, the broad seat and
colonnade and the wide opening be-
tween the two rooms is very striking.
An attractive feature of the dining
room is the four-window-bay with the
seat built entirely across it. The
kitchen is entered through a swinging
door and is handily arranged to facili-
tate the preparation and serving of
meals. Near the door to the dining
room is cupboard built above a
shelf into which the sink is set. An
other cupboard fills a nook in the cen
trail wall of the building and is also
very handy to the dining-room door
The stove is intended TO be placed

connect it with the chimney. The
rear porch is built right into the house
and furnishes a handy kitchen annex.
The refrigerator may be placed on this
porch, where it is iced without caus-
ing the iceman to take many steps into
the house.
Along the other side OF the mouse
are the two bedrooms with the
bath between. The bedroom closets
are unusually large. A small hall

"which troubles me good deal.
You know the critical condition of af-
fairs at Pulza. I have received pri-
vate word that the native commandant
there is about to be superseded by his
former predecessor, Maceo. That
means trouble, danger for Mr.. Went
worth and his family"
"Why?" I asked, at once interested.
Because Maceo is rejected suitor
Of Miss Wentworth, and it was
through Mr.. Wentworth that he was
relieved of his official duties. Under
the old regime that would mean little.
With the present factional lines mar
rowing, it gives to the treacherous and
revengeful Maceo the power of a ty-
rant, and he will exert it.
"And your message to Mr.. Went
worth would be?"

Use of Masks In Printing.

Nearly all black-and-white photo
graphs that are not to be mounted on
white cards are most pleasing when
finished with white margins. White
margins are ,obtained by printing the
negative through the opening of opaque
paper. This mask is placed over the
negative in the printing frame and the
negative so adjusted that the part we
wish to print from will show through
the opening in the mask. AS the open
ing in the mask can be made of any
size and shape desired. up to the full
size of the negative, we can print from
the whole or any part of a negative
and as those parts of the negative
that are covered by the mask cannot
print, they will be white after the
print has been developed. By this
method we can make prints having
white margins OF any width we prefer.

stroying the appearance of broadness
consists in using either a straight hip
roof construction or a combination Of
the hip and gable types, with the hip
type predominating. Occasionally fiat
roof dormers, are used in connection
with the hip roof to produce the same
result. The effect is altogether pleas
ing to the eye, and the several advan-
tages of the more generous storage
space which is provided in the attic
cases. Aside from this fact, If the
space is not used for storage it still
serves a very good purpose in provid-
Ing an insulating layer of air which
will keep the lower floor cool in the
hottest weather.
An attractive little bungalow of SIM
pie construction is shown here as an
example of the possibility of utilizing
the hip-rOof construction. The roof of
this pleasant little home is almost
purely of this type, the only addition
being the small projecting dormer.
This dormer adds space to the attic
and also provides the means of admit
ting light to the upper floor An ar
tistic touch is given the main roof by
breaking the slope just above the
caves and carrying the last few feet
down at a new slope Several inter
esting details are included in the de-
sign of this little cottage.
