Joffre continued. I'VE know for certain
that, although they are lighting as des-
perately as ever, they are drawing on
their last reserves. Their game has
been. up until now, to transfer their
reserves from one point TO another and
from one front TO another, but with the
united action of the allies on all fronts
our enemy finds such course impos-
sible now, and will find II increasingly
so in the future. II is not for me to

feature in home construction which is
becoming more popular all the time.
Many people who live in older houses
feel that the sleeping porch is one Of
the modern fads which win soon disap-
pear, but anyone who has lived In a
house which includes sleeping porch
in its room arrangement will not con-
slider a house which does not include
one In its design. 1t cannot be disput-
ed that an abundance of good fresh
air Is an absolute necessity to rest
full slumber. There are seven large
windows In the sleeping porch at the
rear of this rustic bungalow, and this
assures condition as near the limit
of real out-of-doors as it is necessary
to come.
The interior Is entirely In keeping
with modern ideas In home design.
Convenience and comfort have been
the strong outstanding factors In the
design, and worked In with these is
the effort to make this house as health
full home as it is possible to pro-
vide, from the standpoint of the ar
chitect. At the same time a lucky
combination of details has rendered it
very attractive from IN artistic stand

by Artist.

III. Kemp Prosser, who designed the
two interiors In the French play la
bergette" at the Garrick theater,
thinks persons who wish to retain
their vitality and normality in war
time should avoid certain colors, says
a London correspondent Of the New
York Herald.
Cardinal red" he said. sis the sym.
boil Of murder. hate and cruelty. Sage
green means vileness. and brown de-
cay.
Lemon yellow, on the other hand,
suggests TO persons who are sensitive
to color influence, light and life. That
is why I suggest this color should
dominate color schemes in hospitals
and home for wounded soldiers.
"In my rest room at Chelsea for SOL
diers the symbolical colors used were
lemon yellow, mauve, sapphire, tur-
quoise and blue. A golden piano was
draped with lemon yellow curtain
on which were embroidered a dove
bearing the emblem of peace, an Egyp-
tian symbol expressing the keys of life
and white rose, emblem of power and
silence. Beautiful lamps repeated the
colors blue, mauve and turquoise"

since the Old-fashioned attic seems
TO be dying slow but certain death
In almost any type of house design
the roof may be used to express any
one of number of ideas. The funda-
mental hip and gable types may be
variOusly modified and combined with
one another and with several types of
dormers. A number of roofing mate
rails offer further variation In APP
pearance.
A great variety of building ma
terials are open for selection. The
walls Of the house may be given many
pleasing finishing touches both In color
and character of surface. 1t remains,
then. for the architect to find the prop
er combination of all the possibilities
which exist, In order to match the pic
ture formed as an image in the mind
of the home-builder.
One of the styles which have been
established in bungalow design, and
one which makes strong appeal to
great many people, is the rustic type.
This type embodies the infusion of the
architecture of nature into the archi-
lecture of man. 1t implies the use of
some natural building material applied
In such way that the suggestion of
the big out-of-doors surrounds the
home. The purpose is absolutely de-
