"One's first impression OF a small

a formal three bay treatment with an
entrance in the centre. This generally
n from a glance at the ex-
terror that there is a hall with a room
on each side as the interior treat
ment. To avoid this usual suspicion
] discarded that idea from my mind
and did the only other thing-to place
the entrance door to one side OF the
house. This. OF ourse suggested an
unsymmetrical plan with an entrance
feature of to one corner: and to make
the corner I added a kitchen wing
which L could do from a practical
standpoint because Of its proximity
TO the main road. and service entrance
from garage road, and which served
as a background for the entrance fea-
ture.
The doorway itself Is predominant
by reason Of tho high ceiling Of the
stair hall allowing for the arch and
for a flood Of light on the upper por-
ton Of the stairway. Using the entire
front OF the house as the living room
space makes that room the prominent
feature, accessible through generous
sized easements to a terrace on all
three sides and to the stair hall and
dining room on the other side.
considering that the house faces
south, its east facade Is on an axis
with the main flower garden, the
southern exposure fronts on the open

The Miss -s Remnant.

A c, rtaln Lancashire town boasts q
full brass band, including big drum.
The drummer, according to the Tat
Ter, is about five feet high and rather
deaf, but he thinks nobly of his i'm
portance to the band. When the band
parades, it always takes the same
course through the main streets; but
the other day the leader, for some
purpose known only to himself, turned
down bystreet. The little drummer
did not see what was happening in
front of him, for to compensate for his
lack OF heigha he holds his drum nigh
before him So with his gaze con-
centrated on his music he banged
away, and marched straight ahead, as
usual. About five minutes afterward
he finished his part, and, hearing no
other instruments, he stopped. Part
OF the crowd had accompanied him,
and they gave him cheer. But he
was i'll at ease. 4e showed his drum
to one side and gazed ahead; then on
the other, and did likewise. But ne saw
no band. Then, in uneasy astonish-
ment, he turned to the smiling by
ISLANDERS and inquired: "Heigh! Has
ony O. you seen the remnant O. band

Noon Hour Firmly Established.

The noon hour surely is firmly es-
tablished institution in downtown New
York. It was not established merely
for luncheon, but for numerous other
recreations equally as important.
Food is not everything. In Battery
place the young men who work in
the big buildings in that vicinity have
organized baseball club. And it is
real baseball game, too. There is
this difference, a tennis ball is sub
stituted for the regular horsehide. And
no wonder. For the bat used is not a
stout hickory club-it is the human
fist. Nevertheless, the game is base
ball, with pitcher, catcher, basemen
and fielders. Every day, except in
rain, it has been the custom to assem-
BILE at this spot shortly after the noon
hour and start a game. Large crowds
turn out to watch and applaud their
favorite players-sometimes larger
and usually far more enthusiastic
crowds than THOSE who pay admission
to see the Giants perform.

SuInhuric Acid Antidote.

Burns from sulphuric acid are easily
cured. Just remember that plain wa
ter-lots of it--must be poured on the
victim of sulphuric acid accident at
once, even to throwing the party into
the water, if possible. This acid on
the skin feels like fire. With water
quickly applied in great quantities this
acid is rendered harmless. Men have
been burned with it repeatedly with
out harm through knowledge Of this
proper antidote. If not treated prompt
ly the most horrible Disagreement re-
suits. The police department of Paris
exhibits wax figures of faces of VIC
tins of the foreign practice Of throw
ing this acid in ones face. A prompt
treatment of water would have rem
dered the acid harmless.

It is well known that Illuminating
gas is explosive, though it is difficult
to say just how great would be the
explosive effect. 1t is impossible to

DOLLAR DAY BROUGHT
 IN MANY SHOPPERS.
Early Morning Crowds Were Waiting
 For Store Doors to Open.

Dollar Day brought such a crowd of bargain hunters to Norwich We'd nesday morning that it brought back memories of the older merchants of those Saturdays before the trolleys when people drove in from the coun- try and left their teams in long lines through the streets-no traffic regu- latiOns in those times-apd passed the day in shopping of a substantial sort. At eight o'clock in the morn ing The dry goods stores had crowds waiting outside the doors and the rush at S.15 when doors were opened would have scared the clerks if they hadn't been expecting it.
 Brisk buying was maintained throughout the day, although the aft ernoOn's heat was more or less dis couraginG to shoppers and at six o'clock Along Main street the mer- chant and stOrekeepers were all in Q satisfactory state of mind. Some of them said it had been a phenomenal day for his house and all of them were able to report the success of Dollar Day.
 The badgains were numerous and much stock was moved to the mutual benGHt of store and buyer. Dresses of i've dollars or more were quickly dis posed of for the one dollar price and there were many who took advan- tage o fthe silk stocking sale at an other store. Tn one of the jewelry stores 9 customer didn't think long before he changed his dollar bill for a charming little mirror. Mems $1.5O shirts were down to the dollar mark and there was a dollar off on every suoit in one of the mems stores. A shoe store had all it's bargains dis posed of by II o'clock and in all of the stores there were really good values for the money and Dollar Day successfully established Norwich as the trading center of Eastern COnnec- ticut.
