Ii Hung Changes Grandson.

w. G. Anchung Kung, grandson of
the great Chinese statesman, Ii Hung
Chang, who is at present on tour Of
the United States to study problems
relating to agriculture, made an inspec-
ton of the water front here. He was
particularly interested in studying the
work of discharging tropical fruit from
the refrigerating steamers. The young
mans father is foreign secretary of
the Chinese republic. Kung expects to
be appointed commissioner of agricul-
ture in one of the Chinese provinces
on his return. He is a graduate Of
Cambridge university, England. He
has spent much time in the southern
states studying the cotton, rice and SUI
gar plantations. He predicts the COM

equal to all the demands of semi-dress.
Velvet offers advantages for this kind
of suit, and other pile fabrics, in
Guiding that shown in the picture,
are equally rich and more novel.
The suit is made with plain skirt
finished with hem five inches wide. A
material of this kind does not need
decoration, but since needlework is
the order of the day, an embroidered
motif is allowed in two places at each
side Of the skirt at the hem. Very
heavy silk is used for this work The
skirt sets smoothly about the hips and
falls in folds below.
The coat is unusual in many ways.
It's skirt is sloped upward across the
front and right side where it falls with
slight ripple from the waistline. 1t
is much longer and fuller at the back.
The body is plain, with easy adjust
ment to the figure. The sleeves are
large and finished with deep, expan-
sive cuffs, and there is collar of most
generous proportions which swathes
the neck in the becoming fashion most
approved. The front of the coat does
not open straight down the center, but
the left side is curved to extend across
the figure at the waistline and button

Why We Should Be Fat.

A liberal allowance of fat is needful
for perfecting the shape of the body.
Fat gives form and roundness to the
body, Fat is needed to help maintain
and regulate the body heat. Fat peo-
pie, do not feel uncomfortable from
the chilling blasts of winter as do
their less favored lean and lank broth
ers. Fat. acts as reserve substance
which the body, can draw upon for
nutrition in case of emergency, too.
If one is inclined to grumble about his
weight let him think what it would
mean to him to be deprived of his use
full protective covering of fat. De-
terioration in health usually results
when there Is a marked loss of fat
from the body.

granite, sandstone and limestone may
be initiated with such eXactneSS that
there is nothing gained in the use of
the true material. The surface of the
faced block is, as rule, finished in
one of two ways. After the cement
has taken its initial set, the crushed
stone is exposed by the use of water
and a steel wire brush. This surface
is rough and produces much the same
effect which is obtained by the use of
rough natural stone. Those stones
which are capable of taking a polish
in their natural state may be closely
initiated by the use of the crushed ma
terial, which is allowed to set firmly
in the face of the block, and then the
surface is planed down smooth and
polished. In addition to these two
methods of facing it is possible to tool
the surface of the block in any desired
way.
In the structure the block may be
used to carry out the effect which the
home builder is striving for. One man
may be pleased with the massive eff
feet obtained by the use of large blocks
in the entire structure. Another finds
his desires realized in the combination
of concrete blocks with other building
materials. In the latter class of
buildings an effect which has been well
demonstrated by the use of ornamental
brick may be obtained with equal sue
cess by the use of concrete blocks in
the construction of the porch on a
frame house.
The illustrations present bungalow
which has been designed with porch
of distinctive concrete blocks. In this
case the architect has found it possible
to greatly improve the appearance of
the structure by including the chimney
la the porch effect. The facing used
is composed of marble clippings and
white cement. The surface of the
block is left rough, the marble being
exposed by the steel brush. Two sizes
are used in the walls and special-size
blocks are cast for the porch rail.
The work is laid up in alternate wide
and narrow courses and is pointed
with dark-colOred mortar. The heavy
columns of the porch are balanced by
the chimney. which is largely respon-
sible for the manner in which the
porch seems to blend into the house
design.
Because of the rather extensive
white surface of the porch and chin
ney, it is necessary that the trim be
white throughout. The dark stained
surface of the shingle-cOvered walls
stands in pleasing contrast with the
white surface. There are numerous
special features in the exterior design,
The roof is low-gabIe type with flat
roof dormers on the sides. Rafter
ends are exposed, and heavy brackets
support the roof where it extends out
from the walls at the ends. The heavy

outside wall in each of these rooms.
The opening from each of the rooms to
the front part of the house is cased.
The kitchen is centrally located in
the rear of the house with the bath
room on one side and the rear porch
on the other. The rear porch is really
built as an additional room and will
prove to be a valuable addition to the
space provided in the kitchen. The
porch floor is lower than the kitchen
floor. There are two steps in the pas
sage to the kitchen and two steps from
the porch to grade. Space is provided
for the refrigerator on the porch,
where it may be iced without tracking
dirt into the house. The basement is
entered from the rear porch. Closets
are provided in the bedroom, kitchen
and rear porch, and cupboard is set
into the wall in the kitchen.
The utility of this room arrangement
will be easily realized. A large, bright
living room, such as is provided in this

SCIENTIST AS CHEF
Visitors Mistaken in Thinking Metcia-

tory Experiments.

One. day some distinguished visitors
who had arrived in Paris and were be-
ing escorted about by a committee
were taken to call upon the late Pro
fessor Metchnikoff (the famous seien-
tist who believed that the secret of
long life lay in diet) toward the hour
of noon. The laboratory was all but
empty, as most of the workers had
departed for that sacred meal. the
French dejeuner. But Metchnikom
was there himself intent upon ves-
sci he was holding over a gas burner.
''It must be a very interesting ex-
pertinent that keeps you engaged even
at this hour" remarked one of the
committee.
Look for yourself" said Metchni-
kof, and, continuing to stir with a
glass tube, held up the dish SO that
a delicious fragrance rose to the noses
of the visitors.
''That's what I'm working at" he
laughed, t'banana in slices, fried In

The room arrangement of the bunga-

room extends from one side to the

and has a fireplace at one end. Six
windows and the front door admit light
to the room, assuring a pleasant place
for the entertainment of afternoon
guests. In the rear of the living room
the dining room occupies one side of

Since concrete blocks have found
their way into the field of home con-
struction the architect has been fur
nished with a greatly increased range
of finishing effects which may be used
without involving a prohibitive cost to
the owner. AS a first consideration,
the concrete block may be made almost
any shape, and novel masonry is OBJ
tanned without the necessity of a great
deal of chipping and shaping OF the
blocks by the mason. 1t is not neces-
sary to use blocks having a monotony
of size and shape, for all up-to-the-min-
turers are aware of the possibilities
which their product offers, and equip-
ment for the casting of a variety of
sizes and shapes is now installed in
their plants.
A second consideration which has
placed the concrete block in favor
among those who desire a thoroughly
high-grade exterior finish is found in
the beautiful facings which may be
made an integral part of the block
This feature is a development which
is largely responsible for the widening
field which the concrete building
block serves. Closely allied with the
use of various crushed natural stones
in the facings is the development ant
use of white cement, which may be
used either alone or in combination
with a number of pigments, resulting
in the production of any shade of. 6
number of colors.
The use of these materials enable.
the manufacturer to produce very
close limitations of highly expensive
stone at a reasonable cost. Marble

Daddy, were Woods on either side.
They continued for quite distance
until a little Farm House could be

small Girl named Polly.

ing hard in her Garden.
I'm so tired and sleepy she said.
and she thought she would lie
down in lovely Bed of Moss she saw
on one side of the Road, on a bank.
"'Oh, moss makes such lovely Bed =
"And it seemed as though the Moss
were anwering her: Yes. Moss makes
nice Bed, and very comfy Pillow.
''Soon she fell asleep, and the Flow
ers that before had been growing in
the Woods, and along the Roads, and
of which she had planned to pick big
bunch for her Home, seemed to be
coming nearer and nearer to her. And
then they stood all around her. They
seemed to have Faces, too, and Eyes
that blinked and laughed and were
merry.
up from a tall Plant which looked
like Pulpit which Polly had seen
in Church, came funny looking Crea-

There is nothing prettier for the
short boudOir or breakfast coat than
either plain or printed crepe or soft
silk, with the limpest of silk lace
draped over it. Tassels or pendant or
naments made. of silver or gold cloth,
and ribbon, as always, are found in
company with these materials.
Two pretty caps are shown in the
picture given here. At the right an
open-meshed silk lace with crepe de
chine make the cap, and small chif-
fon roses add touches of color to it.
The lace is caught back at each side
of the face by them. Small flower
like pendants on a silver cord are made
of silver tissue, and they furnish and
weight the hanging ends of lace. This
cap is very easy to make, for the
lace and crepe are basted together and
given to the hemstitcher to be set to-
gether by machine stitching.
The cap at the right is made of a
net-top lace, with the plain edge frilled
about the face and the escalloped edge
overlapping the plain edge of second
strip of lace. At the crown of the

1t will be noticed that the skirt ex-
tends below the shoetops, but lacks
much of reaching the instep. This
length is approved by style makers, but
many women cling to the shorter
skirts, and, since feet are so daintily
clad, there is every reason for allowing
them this privilege.
The ingenuity of those who create
new caps and negligees and other dain-
ty belongings for womankind has been
put to it's annual test. Before the
holidays these luxuries that women
love blossom out at their best, and
they must be like and unlike those
that have helped make other holiday
