the house and utiliZes the space above
the garage for a sun parlOr. The
| house is built upon terrace and the
| driveway, leading to the garage, is
brought straight in at the sidewalk
level, allowing only enough slope to
provide good drainage.
The entire house and garage are fin
ished in stucco with dark wood trim.
Low arch type construction is used in
the porch and all roofs are built as
fiat as is consistent with good con-
struction. A pergola roof above the
sun parlOr adds a note of distinction.
The entire exterior is impressive and
elegant.
The details of interior finish are
fully in keeping with the general ex-
cellence of the design, and the room ar
rangement is all that the particular
home-builder could ask for in conve-
nience and elegance. The reception hall
is fitted with seat and has a wide
closet handily located. The opening be-
tween this hall and the living room Is
cased. The entire side wall of the
house in the living room is occupied
by the fireplace and two bookcases.
A wide cased opening at the rear of
the living room leads to the dining
room. The Buffet in the latter room
is built below four windows, in a
square bay. There are FIVE other win
dows in the room.
The sun parlor is five steps above
the living room and the seat built into
the nook just inside the cased opening
from the living room Is very pleas
ant detail. The garage is entered from
a passage between the living room and
the kitchen. Between the kitchen and
the dining room Is the buffers pantry.
The opening on the kitchen side is
cased and on the dining room side
there Is q double-acting door.
The stair from the sun parlor leads
to a stair hall on the second floor. All
rooms on this floor open from the hall.
There are four bedrooms, all provided
with generous closet space, and bath.
All rooms on this floor are well lighted
and full height. The house is Intended
for rather large family or It may be
used to very good advantage by peo-
pie who are in the habit Of inviting
guests for extended visits. There Is an
abundance Of room on each floor and
the many special features which have
been Incorporated into the design are
sure to leave a good impression with
anyone who might have the opportu-
nifty to examine the house carefully.
The design is an excellent example of
one method by which the garage may
be made a part of an attractive house
without taking anything from Its at.
tractiveness.

AFTER THE PRUNING Is DONE
Carefully Gather Up and Burn All
Branches and Twigs - Cover
Wounds to Prevent Decay.

1t is best, after the pruning opera
lions are over, to:
l. Gather up and remove from the
orchard all branches and twigs that
have been cut off. Burn them. They
afford homes. for the diseases and the
insects that will attack your trees If
the rubbish is left on the ground.
2. Cover the wounds with a coat Of
good lead paint. This helps to keep
out the water and prevent disease and
decay.
3. Spray the trees with solution Of
one gallon commercial lime-sulphur to
nine gallons of water. Spraying just
after pruning reduces the cost of ap-
plying the material, as there is less
brush to cover than at other times.
Moreover, 1t is just the right season
for the lime-sulphur spray.

FOR PART OF DINNER MENU
Dish That Experts Have Recommend
ed as a Welcome Addition to
the Table.

Little Chicken Aspics.-Line some
plain individual molds with cool aspic
jelly, decorate this with cooked peas
and put them into cool place until
they are required. Put quarter of a
pint Of thick mayonnaise sauce into
a basin and mix it with a quarter Of
pint of whipped cream. Then add
by degrees quarter Of pint of cool
aspic jelly (Which is still liquid).
Have in readiness some of the white
meat of cooked fowl cut into small
dice-shaped pieces, mask them quickly
with the mayonnaise cream and fill
the individual molds. Turn out the
little individual aspics as soon as the
mixture is quite firm, arrange them
close together around small platter
which has been covered with chopped
aspic and fill the middle Of the dish
with a salad composed of young peas
(cooked) and lettuce.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS OF VALUE
Small Things In Themselves, but They
Will Be Found Well Worthy
of Consideration.

To make house ferns grow rapidly
place four or five pieces of charcoal
on top of the soil. Keep the flower pot
In jardiniere, with plenty of water,
and its rapid movement will be aston
fishing.
Try rubbing your stove we'll with
vinegar before applying the backing
and you will be surprised at how much
brighter your polish will be and how
much longer 1t will last than If the
backing were applied to the unclaimed
iron.
To clean the white kid shoes now so
much in vogue make a paste of corn
starch and gasoline, keeping the mix
ture away from the fire, preferably
out of doors. Rub the shoes thorough
ly and leave in the sun to dry, when
all superfluous powder may be rubbed
off with dry cloth. This prepara-
ton is also excellent for cleaning white
felt.
The raveled threads from old linen
will be found best for darning table
cloths or napkins.
Save all tea leaves for about week
and place them In pail, over which
may be poured boiling water. Allow
them to stand for one hour then strain
and bottle the liquid. This, when ap-
piled with flannel to mirrors, win
dows and picture glasses, makes them
shine like crystal.

Bran and Graham Biscuit.

One cupful sterilized bran, two cup

one egg, two teaspoonfuls sugar, one
teaspoonful salt, two teaspoonfuls
butter, four teaspoonfuls baking pow

Mix the dry ingredients together,

ingredients the same as for cream bis

biscuit cutter and bake in hot oven-
Lastly, here is very nourishing nut

but it is well to chop the raisns so
as to make them more easily digested.

PEAR NEEDS GOOD DRAINAGE
Surplus or Stagnant Water Detri-
mental to Health of Tree-Under-'
ground bitches Favored.

1t Is essential to the health Of the
pear that no surplus or stagnant wa
ter be allowed to remain on the sur
face or In the soil.
II the natural formation Of the land
does not afford good drainage 1t should
be provided artificially either by I'M
derground drains or by surface bitches.
The subdrainage method is preferable,
because II Is more thorough, and IL ac-
complisl.rd by well-laid tile, is far more
satisfactory. Z
Breaking up stiff clay land by
double-plow subsoiling will In meas
ure afford temporary subdrainage, but
In time the soil will again become com
pacted and the subsoiling Will need

a luxury, the question of providing a
garage is receiving more attention
than 1t was given during the early
days of the 'horseless carriage" The
man who has spent considerable

does not feel satisfied with placing it
in an old barn or shed. If the lot on

HARM BY BLACKBERRY BORER
Spraying Is Of No Avail-Cutting and
Burning at Time Of Regular
Pruning la Favored.

The blackberry cane borer has been
seriously troublesome in many parts of
the country recently, killing the canes
and thus running the chances of the
crop. No spraying is of any use, but
l find cutting and burning does the
trick, says writer in an exchange.
There are two ways of doing this
work. One is to look for, cut off and
burn all the swelled parts of the black
berry canes at the time of the regu-
lar winter or early spring pruning.
There Is no installing these swellings,
because they are fully double the di-
ameter of the cane itself. 1t Is not
necessary to bother with the whole
cane-just the swelled part with an
inch or two above or below the swell
ing. The cut pieces may be easily
carried in a basket.
Where a very serious attack has
occurred, and where other blackberries
are growing in the neighborhOod,
have found 1t a good plan to cut of
all the young shoots produced before
the end of June, SO as to destroy the
young grubs in them. BY that time
all the adult beetles will have died,
so the canes produced during July will
be free from the borers. There is no
use saving "galled" cane, for it can't
produce a decent stand of berries. The
sooner it is burned the better. 1t is
not necessary to burn the green shoots,
because the bOrers, being footless, can
not crawl to new canes, and are also
unable to live on dead wood.

1t is usually rather difficult prob
lem to design house with garage
attached which will have a satisfac-
tory appearance. Since the garage
does not require great deal of head
room and yet 1t must be placed at least
down to the grade line, 1t is necessary
to build some part of the house above
1T. The question becomes conferred In
what part Of the house may be built
above the garage without causing a
disturbance in the room arrangement.
A separate room Is usually the best
solution since the floor level does not
coincide with either the first or Sec
ond floor of the main structure, as q
