The Fortune of
An Architect
By ElINOR MARSH

Margaret Midway early developed q
/ taste for art, and at twenty she de
cided that instead Of waiting for a
| husband she would be the architect
OF her own fortune She planned to be
| decorator Indeed, being an orphan
| with nothing TO live on, 1t was neces-
sary for her either TO support herself
or marry some man to support her.
That Margaret was naturally Of an
independent disposition Is evident from
the fact that she rented a cottage, In
which she proposed to live alone and
have her office.
One day young man appeared on
the premises and seemed to be looking
them over. Margaret went out and
asked him II he was thinking of buy
ing the property. The man looked at
her admiringly, for she was pretty
girl, and replied that he was consid-
ering whether It could not be fixed up
and used for residential purposes. He
said that he was an architect
And | am a decorator, said the
girl
Indeed. In that case we might
work together"
"Do you represent the owner7" she
asked
Yes I'll confer with him, and IL
he will employ me to repair and make
additions to the house and give you
the decorating job we may make some
thing out of it
He went away, leaving Margaret to
think OF the matter. She paid a nom
inal rent and if she could make a few
hundred dollars by decorating the
house Ii would pay her to find another
home. But she was thinking more Of
the young man than the job, He had
a very pleasant way with him. and his
smile was quite engaging. The next
day he came back and said that be had
made an arrangement with the owner
for fixing up the property. He was &c
spend $1,000 on it and receive $500
for his services. He would pay Mar
garet half his fee If she would design
and superintend the decorations. Mar
garet was very well pleased to make |
a fee of $3.50 and assented to the prop |
osition.
The young man had brought with |
him drawings of the alterations to be |
made, and the two sat down together |
TO consider the decorations Margaret /
occupied a wing Of the house which /
was 10 be turned into q kitchen and /

Putting Things Away for Summer.

This is the season when wooden gar.
ments, blankets and other household ar.
ticles are packed away for the summer
months. Newspaper is the housewives
best friend at this time, says the Chris
tan Science Monitor. 1t is plentiful and
at hand and il shields from dust what
ever is intrusted to it. After brushing
and cleaning all garments, turning the
pockets wrong side out TO catch the
shreds of dust there, fold them carefully
and lay them in several thicknesses of
newspaper. Tie the bundles carefully
and lay them away in trunk that has
been wiped ont with damp clotk.
After the blankets have been washed,
fold them and inease them in newspaper;
then tie them up in linen cloth and lay
them away. Ii pillows that are not regu-
larry used are we'll aired and put away
in this fashion, they will keep in excel
lent condition.
In putting away brasses, CRATE fixtures,
or either brass ornaments, il is wise to
clean them thoroughly, then lightly
smear each piece with lard. After this,
they should be tolled in several thick
nesses of newspaper and laid away in a
dry closet. When removed from their
wrsppings in the fall, the pieces may be
easily cleaned by immersing them in boil
ing water, then polishing with dry, soft
cloth.
Plush or velvet draperies, after being
well brushed and cleaned, should not be
folded but carefully rolled on wooden
roller and wrapped in several theknesses
of newspaper. The roller should be at
least eight inches in diameter and prefer,
ably hollow. The ends should be tightly
covered after the curtains haze been
rolled.
