this plan can be arranged SO that the
den can be used, or the double sliding
doors can be left open and the den
really becomes a part of the living
room. This room, the living room and
the dining room should be finished
in somewhat the same style, since the
wide openings between these rooms
make the arrangement seem like one
room, and an effect will be obtained
which is not harmonious II the rooms
are not finished in the same general

Is likely that the amateur will overdo
the trick more often than it will be un-
derdone. Many of the plants will
take winter snooze through the cold
months and will require little soil
moisture. Plants in bloom and in ac.
tive growth, of course, require more.
In many cases thorough drainage must
be provided because water-saturated
soil will prove fatal and you must re-
member that it is quite possible to
drown plant.
Escaping Illuminating gas or coal
gas will poison your plants. They are
very sensitive and must have air to
breathe that is not polluted. A flower
will discover gas poison before the
average person will do SO. Keep your
plants clean. Insects thrive on dirty
plants. They also propagate more
rapidly indoors than out. Light spray.
Ing is almost u necessity.
Diversified farming may be the
watchw0rd Of the time, but It Is not
the principle to follow In the house
garden. To have little Of every.
thing generally means that you will
not have much Of anything. The vari-
cites must be limited. A number Of
plants Of the same habit and color are
much better than a collection.
Begonias will give a touch of color
to the winter garden. A temperature
Of 55 degrees is required for them,
and they can be propagated by tubers,
leaves or cuttings. The gloxinia re-
quires heat In the early stages. The
easiest method Of propagation is from
tubers direct. The amarylis, or hip
peastrum, makes q handsome pot
plant. Its flowers are large and they
vary In tint. They require very little
water to make winter success.
The bantana requires fairly warm
spot for the best results, but 1t makes
fine plant for winter blooming. The
spirea, with its creamy masses and
delicate oior is always a valuable fac.
tor. Good drainage and plenty OF
moisture are required.

consideration. A great many designs
may be greatly benefited by building
the house upon terrace. As rule,
the bungalow does not have a place
In this group Of designs, but there are
particular cases In which this general
rule will not hold. The experienced
architect may easily give the proper
proportions and correct slopes and
curves to a house to fit 1t for any posi-
tion In which 1t might be placed.
The last determining factor which
controls the appearance Of house
from the standpoint Of Its position
is Its distance from the street. Not
only Is there direct effect with re-
spect to this point, but there is also
an indirect effect Of equal weight. The
extent and character of lawn between
the house and the street will deter
mine In what manner sidewalks will
be laid. vines and shrubs planted, and
various lawn decorations placed. A
house near the street does not admit
Of an extensive plan for the lawn. In
fact, II an attempt Is made to carry
out anything elaborate in the way of
lawn decoration the critical neighbors
are moved to express themselves, not
without some truth, in the remark,
'Overdone." On the other hand, a
deep. gracefully sloping lawn which
has been properly endowed with nat
ural beauty may be made to add a
great deal to the appearance of the
house by the addition of curving side
walks, arbors and little rustic bridges
or ether decorations In keeping with
the house design. Bungalow designs
yield especially gratifying results from
this kind Ct lawn treatment. Origl-
mated where nature made easy the
Identification Of Its surroundings, the
bungalow still looks best when estab.
lished in spot which at least ap-
proximates its birthplace.
The bungalow shown here Is a type
that would be delight to any one.
It is an ideal bungalow home. The
exterior arrangement is very attrac.
tive and striking and the interior is a
model of comfort and convenience.
The exterior has many features that
will recommend 1t to the person who
wants u distinctive home. The porch
construction Is particularly striking.
There is nothing more attractive and
inviting than low, broad porch roof,
especially II built In the form of an
arch, as in this case. The porch walls
and pillars are built of stone and brick
distinctive In that rough surface Is
obtained by allowing irregular pieces
to project out from the surface. The
roof is Of artistic design. being of the
gable type, unusually well decorated
and proportioned.

tail has some particular value. A par
ticular feature Of the front rooms Of

THE INDOOR GARDEN
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.
l imagine that most Of my readers
are now having their joys and SORROWS
with the indoor garden-that sole sub
| stitute for the out-of-door theater of
the good months. But as half loaf
Is better than no bread, SO the pleas
ure of having few flowers in the
house during the cold months is worth
all the time and trouble that 1t re-
quires, and the added consolation is
present that one need not be entirely
without color and fragrance even
though the winds are blowing q dlrge
| outside.
There is hardly real lover OF fow-
ers in the world who has not at least
tried to make an indoor winter garden.
some Of us cling with more tenacity
than others to the expedient, but soon
er or later 1t comes to every flower
lover as either hope or a disappoint-
ment. l am convinced that where the
latter state is reached it Is through
either ignorance or lack of patience.
The intimate association that one
has with the few plants which may
be nurtured throughout the winter
makes them all the dearer. One be-
comes better acquainted with them.
They become actually members Of the
family, and they take on the character
Of children as they are given more
and more the sort Of solicitous care
that mother might be expected to be-
stow upon an invalid child.
Light, moisture, warmth, fresh air
and protection from insects are the
prime essentials of the winter garden.
Most Towering plants ought to have
the full sun for at least a part of the
day. A number Of the foliage plants
will do very well without the direct
rays, II there be plenty Of light.
The heat In the room where plants
are to be kept must be under control
so that temperature of from 40 to 90
degrees may be maintained overnight.
Even where it is only possible to main
tain 40 degrees OF heat most of the Or
dinary house plants can be kept, If
they can be protected during especially
cold weather from frost striking
through the windows.
One often finds 1t possible to cut off
bay window, or other like window
space, so that 1t may be sheltered by
screens or curtains running well up to
the ceiling. Thus the particular part
Of the room may be kept warmer at
night and In an atmospheric state bet
ter suited to the plants.
Generally speaking, the question of
proper moisture Is the most neglected
feature of the winter garden problem.
1t is happy sequel that the prob
lem is easily regulated. The greatest
trouble is to know just what the plants
require. Moisture in the air is just
as essential as moisture on the soil.
Steam heat and the improved meth
DDS for supplying winter comfort to
people, takes the vitalizing element
out of the air. 1t can be remedied by
placing vessels of water on radiators,
or near stoves where plants are kept
in the room. The evaporation of the
water attends to this necessary detail
quite well.
In providing moisture for the soil 1t

OF course. the convenience of the room
arrangement must not be sacrificed,
but 1t Is perfectly natural for per-
son to desire home which will attract
the attention of the passerby.
The size and position of the lot up
on which the house is built will have
an effect upon the attractiveness of
the abode. For instance, the average
bungalow, II built upon a narrow lot,
will appear so crowded that attention
will be diverted from the attraetiveness
Of Its design. Some types of construc-
ton will stand crowding without los

the bungalow.

Present System Of | landing Misdemeanor
Prisoners Puts Premium UponVagrancy
BY GOVERNOR cAPPER Of K.n...

To my mind, our present system Of handling city
and county prisoners is entirely too expensive not only
to the public, but to the prisoners themselves The
public is out the money which it costs to maintain such
prisoners in slohfu ideness; the prisoners suffer be-
cause of lack of opportunity for physical moral and
mental development. Criminologists all agree that,
as rule, city and county prisoners are worse when
they leave our prisons than when they enter them
Many of these prisoners are prisoners from other
states who would rather serve time in ai than expend
