The Alhondiga de Grandaditas {pris-
on) in Guanajuato is one of the most
historic buildings in the Mexican re-
public. 1t is the place where the first
blow was struck for the liberation of
Mexico from Spanish rule. Quadrangle
lar in shape, with a central patio, a
row of small Moorish windows near
the top, the lower floor Tuscan, the
upper Doric, the building has no archi-
tectural beauty. AT each corner is a
large hook, from which, in the days of
the struggle for independence were
hung four iron cages containing the
heads of the great Hberators-the pa
triot priest, Hidalgo, his military chief,
Allende, and his comrades ALBANIA and
Jiminez. Here they hung for years un-
til removed by worshiping nation to
the altar of kings in the cathedral of
the City Of Mexico. After the first
ringing of the bell of Mexican inde-
pendence, Hidalgo and his followers
moved on to Guanajuato, stormed the
improvised fort of Alhondiga and killed
all the Spanish troops that had taken
refuge there. This was the beginning
| of the IL years war of independence.

detached building. If an electric We
hicle is used and the garage contains
battery recharging equipment, it is
much easier to keep the batteries in
good condition at all times, If it is
not necessary to go out of the house
to attend to it. The added equipment
Is also property which should be given
protection from theft. 1t might be i'm
agined that garage built as part of
the house would greatly increase the
fire risk. There is undoubtedly a pos
sibility of fire around highly combus-
tible material such as is used as fuel
for the gasoline or steam car and the
electric wiring required for the elec-
tric vehicle sometimes is responsible
for fires. Most fires caused from these
sources may be traced directly to
carelessness and there are numerous
ways of safeguarding the building.

tank cannot cause a fire, and this

cased. The entire side wall of the
house in the living room is occupied
by the fireplace and two bookcases.
A wide cased opening at the rear of
the living room leads to the dining
room. The Buffet in the latter room
is built below four windows, in a
square bay. There are five other win
dows in the room.
The sun parlor is five steps above
the living room and the seat built into
the nook just inside the cased opening
from the living room is very pleas
ant detail. The garage is entered from
passage between the living room and
the kitchen. Between the kitchen and
the dining room is the buffers pantry.
The opening on the kitchen side is
cased and on the dining room side
there is a double-acting door.
The stair from the sun parlor leads

rooms on this floor open from the hall.
There are four bedrooms, all provided
with generous closet space, and bath.
All rooms on this floor are well lighted
and full height. The house is intended
for a rather large family or it may be
used to very good advantage by peo-

guests for extended visits. There is an
abundance of room on each floor and

been incorporated into the design ale

be made part of an attractive house
without taking anything from its at
tractiveness.

Now that the automobile is becoming
more and more necessity rather than
a luxury, the question of providing a
garage is receiving more attention
than it was given during the early
days Of the ''horseless carriage" The
man who has spent a considerable
amount of money on an automobile
does not feel satisfied with placing it
in an old barn or shed. If the lot on
which his house is built will allow
enough space it is easy to build gar
age which will harmonize with the de-
sign of the house. The man who uses
the automobile usually has his archi-
tect include a garage design in the
plans for his new home.
| Although the detached garage has
many advantages, there are also sew
eral reasons why a garage which is
built as a part of the house may have
special advantages in some cases. Since
such garage may be entered from the
house it is very handy place to have
the automobile located. This feature

CHESTNUT TREAT.

Nick and Nancy had been talking
about Chestnut hunting. For when it
came time for Chestnuts, both of them
were ready with their big white Bags
to gather lots and lots of them.
"We1l have Roasted Chestnuts,"
said Dick.
"And like them plain pretty we'll
too,'. said Nancy, .o-.

said Daddy, though Roasting them is
such fun, besides making them taste sc

"Billie Brownie had been full OF
mystery for some time. He had gone
about whispering Secrets to- Peter
Gnome, and he had also been very
friendly with old Mr.. Giant and had
paid him many calls in his Cave. In
addition to this he had been chatting
with the Squirrels a good deal.
"All the Brownies and Gnomes won

certainly has some big Secret they
said.
Shortly after this Billie Brownie
and Peter Gnome said they would not

they were going to pay visit to Mr.
Giant, and when they came home
there would be. surprise! -.

After reviewing coats made for the
small girl it seems that they range
through as great a variety Of mate
rials, and almost as great a variety
Of styles, as coats for grown-ups. All
the soft, woolly goods, several fur
fabrics and plushes. velvet in various
colors, and all-fur coats promise a
season Of rich and comfortable out
door wear for the little miss.
1t is a fad of the season to have a
hat or bonnet and a tiny muff made
Of the same material as the coat.
From top to toe almost everything
small ladies wear is of one kind Of
cloth. For trimming, narrow bandings
Of the shorthaired and least costly
furs are used. Shocking and shirring
play important roles in making coats
of wool velours, Bolivia and similar
cloths, and they are at their best on
velvet. But coats of fur-fabrics or
plush, like that shown in the picture
must be made on the plainest lines.

caps and muffs to match make the

rent and insulated physically and cleo
trically from the building cannot cause
fire. The garage may, in addition, be
made fire-resisting by carrying up the
walls in concrete and covering all
woodwork with cement plaster. The
garage, properly built, is really no
more to be dreaded than the kitchen.
1t is usually a rather difficult prob
lem to design a house with garage
attached which will have a satisfac-
tory appearance. Since the garage
does not require a great deal of head
room and vet it must be placed at least
down to the grade line, it is necessary
to build some part of the house above
it. The question becomes centered in
what part of the house may be built
above the garage without causing a
disturbance in the room Arrangement.
A separate room is usually the best
solution since the floor level does not
coincide with either the first or sec

driveway, leading to the garage, is
brought straight in at the sidewalk
level, allowing only enough slope to
provide good drainage.
The entire house and garage are fin
ished in stucco with dark wood trim.
Low arch type construction is used in
the porch and all roofs are built as
fiat as is consistent with good con-
struction. A pergola roof above the
sun parlor adds a note of distinction.
The entire exterior is impressive and
elegant.
The details of interior finish are
fully in keeping with the general ex-
cellence of the design, and the room ar
rangement is all that the particular
home-builder could ask for in conve-
nience and elegance. The reception hall
is fitted with a seat and has a wide
closet handily located. The opening be-

They have added coiffures with loops
of hair to other high and stately Styles
and are showing others with small
puffs and several short curls pinned
at the crown of the head in the back
for those who like lower hairdress. :
Among high coiffures there is one
design in which band of waved hair
is wound about the head like a wide
band of ribbon, near the forehead. It
allows q few orderly waves and ring
lets to escape about the face, and the
back hair is arranged in puffs at the
top of the crown. This is an unusual
and very finished-looking hairdress.
A similar coiffure is shown in the
picture. In this design all the hair
| is waved and the front hair is combed
! back over a foundation which raises it
at the top of the head. At the back
cluster of curls is pinned below the
! crown and a band of waved hair Is
brought across above the nape of the
neck. 1t will be seen that ornamental
pins are an essential part of this coif-
fure-they finish and support it.
The cOiffure at the left is much SIM

and combed toward the top of the
crown. 1t is finished in a small coil
