ing the perspective view and the floor
plans Of this design. The general
outline Of the house shows compact,
sensible plan, but there are many
decorative features that make this
house very distinctive and original.
For instance, the method of con-
structing the bay windows at the two
front corners Of the house on the sec
ond floor, with their attractive
brackets, is a most pleasing and deco
rative method of finishing these cor
ners. Small hip roofs are placed over
each of these bays and also over the
dormer facing the front Of the house.
The combination of these with the
larger hip roof covering the house
proper makes a pleasant roof design.
This house is set we'll above grade

The smoke so-called, that has
been reported rising from the crater
of Mount Hood, the extinct volcano OF
Oregon, is not smoke at all, according
to F. D. Young of the United States
weather bureau. Sometimes it is
merely snow, blown from the cliffs in
side the crater by a strong wind;
sometimes it is clouds, drifting into
the crater and transformed into an
almost perpendicular column of va

Mr.. Goodwin, who has been the hero
OF many romance, made light OF his plight
with the love game. His one regret. ne
said. was that he didn't have his various
wedding ceremonies filmed for posterity.
