Christmas in Little Eyes
Christmas is speaking in little eyes
Under this spell of the autumn skies,
Secrets are glowing in hearts that
know
All that it means when our secrets
grow.
Hearts are beating in tune to the
chime
OF the splendor and spirit of Christ
mas time
And so in the lane and so in the street
Christmas is speaking in child eyes
sweet.
All of its mystery comes as of old,
All of it's tinsel of silver and gold.
All of its magic and marvel of light,
All of its waiting the long coming
night,
When over the housetops with jingle
of cheer
Old Santa will come with his sleigh
and his deer,
His jolly cheeks glowing, his merry
eyes set
In that laughter of love we can never
forget.
Christmas is speaking on cheeks that
Windows bloomed yesterday bright
with a sled.
A tool box, lantern, train and
book
Christmas is speaking in each child
ish look,
Telling its story all over again
For the cheer and the glory and COM
fort of men.
For the sweetening and lifting and
helping of life
Down through the dust of its strug
gle and strife.

signed with a little more than the typical attention to detail and with n determination to. furnish sufficient room for the comfort and convenience of a fairly large-sized family.
 By the use of q dense mix of con crete in the substructure of the house. or perhaps the use of some of the many wsterproofing materials on the market, the basement of this house may be made very free from damp ness, and with the generous grade windows and a suitable division int, sections basement may he formed which will prove its usefulness in n great variety of ways. Furnace room, cold-storage room. laundry and a work shop may all he provided with ample proportions and plenty of light for each.
 The first floor contains five rooms and hall with attractive staircase leading 10 the upper floor. A large case'l opening on one side of the hall leads into the living room with its two large windows. A similar opening on

ihe outside by double door with full length panels.
 The kitchen occupies the center of the rear portion of the first floor, with rear entrance from the porch. Con veniently near the swinging-,ioor eH- trance to the dining room is the cup board, sink and range. This arrange ment could hardly he improved to produce greater facilities for serving, feature which should strongly com mend itself to housewives. A very generous closet is also provided for the storage of kitchen utensils and other articles needed in this part of the house.
 Perhaps the most Interesting fea- ture of the entire design is the sun parlOr leading from the kitchen and front parlor. This room. with its seven windows, will no doubt be the most used room in the house in all kinds of weather. By replacing the sash with screens during the summer months a room is provided which will furnish all the advantages of being out of doors, without the annoyance of in- sects. Since there is an entrance to the kitchen. this room provides a very pleasant breakfast porch, a feature which will be appreciated by all who have had the opportunity to take their morning meal in the open air.
 The second floor contains three large bedrooms, a sewing room and bath room. The hall makes all of these rooms independent of one another. and the cased opening oil of 1t into the sewing room specializes this little room as the most attractive on this floor. A feature of special convenience is the large closet space allowed to each of the bedrooms.
 Considered in its entirety this house design is one which offers great many features not ordinarily found i'm corporated in one house. and to the family needing a house of this size, es. peciaIly if they have located in one of our smaller cities. It suggests the pos. sibilify of home of rare attraction. An item of considerable importance in the selection of house is the pos sibility of its fitting into the general scheme of the surrounding landscape. It is possible material. to spoil the appearance of an otherwise beautiful home by an improper selection of it's surroundings. The house described here should be placed, preferably. on rather wide lot with a moderate ter race in front. It will look well if set of against a background of trees and shrubs carefully placed at the rear and sides of the premises. The front porch will be set off to advantage by . bed of flowers set along the front and side. Thus surrounded by trees. shrubs, flowers and well-kept grass this home should he very attractive

Of this gain about $l9,0co,oO is ac- counted for by the valuation Of the Inspiration, which is placed al over s2O, ,OOO 900 against less than 5000. 600 at which it was assessed for 1915. Another new mine added to the roll this year is the United Verde EXten- sion. assessed at s5,360. .2S0.73.
 The valuation of all the great cop. per mines have been increased, the Copper Queen and the United Verde, the former by about 5000. 900; and the latter by about s9.IO0.O00 Ray Consolidated by about s5.001.00O. the Arizona Copper Company by about si,0O0.000. The Calumet & Arizona is assessed at more than s25.000,0 ,000 against about sl6.OO0,OO last year; the increase includes the New Cor nelia and other properties since ac quired and developed by this com company.

 Aside from the several advantages which the house with two floors offers in the arrangement of the various rooms It is possible to obtain very at- tractive exterior by a suitable seiec- tion of building material and color de sign. In the entirely wooden struc- ture there Is the possibility of especial ly attractive woodwork, distinctive architectural design, and novel paint ing effects. Modern masonry offers some pleasing effects, carried out in the use of great variety of fancy stone. brick, terra cotta and other nat urai and manufactured building mate rials. By the use of coloring mate rial the stuccO house may be made 10 assume an extremely desirable appear ance. Finally. by combination of several of these. a still more extensive range of exteriors may be produced. IL would be a radical taste which could not find satisfaction in one of the pos abilities of house-exteriOr design.

The typical construction for houses In our smaller cities throughout the country has been. for some time. a
 twoStoricd structure with sleeping rooms on the upper floor. This prac- tice is not without it's advantages, since a great many people object very seriously to the inherent lack of privacy which is associated with homes of only one floor. There is also a feel ing of safety from intrusion when n means is provided whereby the valu- ahles of the household may be placed somewhere other than on the ground floor IL is usually possible to obtain q better arrangement of the bedrooms and bath by including these rooms In n group which will occury an entire floor. and this allows the use of the entire floor for the living rooms. dining ro"m and kitchen. This feature is of special importance during the winter
