Mr.. Railton. Franks father.

owing to competition and heavy
expenses. he often found II a diff
cult thing TO make both ends meet.
and In consequence their home was
quite q small one and they lived In
a comparatively humble way.
Frank was the only child. but
Gladys Evershsd. his second cousin.
lived with them. and she and Franz
were engaged to be married.
In his struggle to keep his busi-
ness going and increasing Mr.. Rail-
ton did not spare himself. but
worked from early morning until
late at night. and he expected his
con to DO likewise.
But Frank had other Views. and
as soon as possible every night he
would leave the mills and either go
out with Gladys or spend the eve
nins with young men OF his own
age.
He worked hard and he worked
well while he was at the mill. but
he was young and fun OF life and of
the Joy OF living. and he felt that he
could not give up his evenings as
his father often desired.
Mr.. Railton perhaps did not go
the right way TO work Care and
anxiety had rendered him some
what taciturn and stern. and he did
not show the softer side of his
nature to his son.
Had he taken Frank on one side
about the needs OF the firm u Is
highly probable that his son would
have Loyalty supported him. but he
did not do this thing. Instead he
told Frank that he was required 10
stay. and whom Frank objected his
father accused him OF wasting his
life In the pursuit OF vain enjoy
ments.
At last Frank felt he could not
stand ~ any longer. and. as he had
told Gladys. he Intended 20 LOOK for
other work He did not mean 20
leave the paper trade. for he had
been brought up In u. and was
keenly interested In the practical
side.

said anxiously. resting her slim
hand on his shoulder and gazing
into his eyes He thinks a lot OF
you. although he may not show IL.

"A pity he hasn't got a better
way OF showing IT, them retorted
Frank.
Don, decide too hastily"
Gladys Evershed paused. racking
her brains for arguments against
Franks proposed course. Then she
went on suddenly. 1t might come

Such Structures Can

In Many Cases Expense of

Through the splendid efforts Of the
Society Advocating Fire Elimination at
Cleveland a careful study Of costs OF
the average mans home has been made.
THE interesting fact has been devel-
oped that any home varying in cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 can be produced
with masonry exterior and fire-safe
roofing at a cost exceeding in no case
6 per cent above that Of the same house

homes department is the official organ
Of that society. an many cases the
cost is the same as that Of wood, and
with certain types of eXteriors this cost
has been reduced.
"The matter Of how much shall be
done i'm the way of ireproofing the

common sense TO the problem Of home

WILL BUILD ON
OCEAN FRONT
Edward c. Chestresmith,
Architect, to Have Man
haitian Beach House.

Edward G. Chestresmith. the we'll
known architect and specialist in sub
urban homes, is 70 build home for
himself on Coleridge st., between
Oriental Boulevard and the Esplanade.
His building will be watched with un-
usual interest to see what new features
Of architecture will be embodied in his
home. One Of the first Of the many
fine homes built at Manhattan beacn
was the Lachicotte house. IL was de-
signed by Mr.. Chestresmith. Mr.. Ches-
tresmith's first experience at Mammal
tan Beach was on the building OF a
cable hut for the Commercial CaDle
Company, near the Oriental Hotel
which Immediately followed the plan
ming by him of an entire village at
Canso, Nova Scotia, for the same com
pany.
Among the other homes that Mr..
Chestresmith has designed at Manhat-
tan Beach have been the Cassidy home
on Beaumont ST., which until recently
was the largest house on the beach,
the C. L. Whey house at Amherst st.
and Oriental Boulevard, the attractive
home recently built for James w. Nc
Cullough, who is in charge of the
Phelps Stokes interests; the Copeland
house at AZ Amherst St; the home OF
P. Synnesvedt, the prominent patent at
torney of Pittsburgh, Chicago, Phlls-
delphia and New York; the home Of
Mrs. T.. c. Groden at Corbin Place, near
Oriental Boulevard. and the S. W.
Rcece home in Dover St, near Oriental
Boulevard.
at is significant Of the charac' er Of
the property" says Joseph P. Day,
sales agent for Manhattan Beach, that
Mr.. Chestresmith has decided TO erect
his own home here, and that almos'
every one of the builders who have
erected homes here for others have de-
cided to build on the development for
themselves. These facts prove, | think,
the desirability Of Manhattsn Beach as
an all-year-round residence for those
who are in no way restricted in their
choice of where they shall live"

thwarted, controlled, bafFled in his

jealousy Of some. the ignorance OF

Christopher Wren was a builder in
the most comprehensive sense Of the
word. It was in his brain that the
designs had birth; II was he who drew
the plans, who directed the archi-
tectural craftsmen and the engineers.
His was the genius that organized the
forces of craftsmen; his was the all
seeing eye unOeT winch lhe 'oieaW pe-

The circumstances that defeated and
rendered distraught Sir Christopher,
the same circumstances TO which is due

the despair Of owners since the art Of
building was in its infarcy-the work

cross purposes.
