on the other side of the fireplace The
dining room is entered through a
cased opening flanked with bookcases
A three-window bay Is built into the
wall of the dining room and buffet is
set against the inside wall. The room
for a dining room, since there is plenty
of space on all sides of the table
when it is placed in the center of the
room. The kitchen Is In the rear of
the dining room and may be entered
through a swinging door.
The ability Of the architect is ably
illustrated In the arrangement of the
kitchen. Every convenience of light
and airy kitchen, a carefully planned
pantry and breakfast porch are
here combined In one room. A table
In which the sink Is set runs along
the side wall, with window above It.
One cupboard Is located conveniently
across the dividing wall between the
kitchen and the dining room, and an
other is built into the outside corner
above the space occupied by the re-
frigerator. Across the room is little
breakfast-nook table with a seat built
on each side. This little table will
save many steps In serving breakfast
and will commend itself in many other
ways. There is ample room for u
stove against the inside wall.
Another feature which will find ia
vor with most people is the bedroom
and toilet on the first floor. These
rooms are entered from a hall leading
toward the rear of the house, past the
stair, from the living room. This hall
is also connected with side entry by
a flight of four steps. The basement
is reached from this entry.
There are two large bedrooms and
u sleeping porch. which is really an
other bedroom having practically one
entire side built of windows, on the
second floor. A hall connects them
all and also leads to the bathroom.
The front dormer bedroom is an espe-
cinlly pleasant room, having five case
ment windows under two of which
seats are built.

Designers of neckwear are casting
about for new things to be introduced
along with the presentation of gowns
and other wear for fall. So far there
is not much change in collars except
that the cape collar has grown less at
the front and considerably longer at
the back. The shawl collar runs to
extremes and becomes a cape, and the
fichu has a few devotees. Neckwear
is In the experimental stage and it's
makers must take their cue after the
last word In frocks and blouses for fall
has been spoken.
Meantime pretty organdie collars
like those shown in the picture enjoy
an undisturbed popularity. They are
made in all white and in white with
colored borders and embroidery. Three
good examples Of them are. shown In
the group.
One Is a small triple cape collar
of organdie which Is delightfully."- crisp

three little vertical panels Of plate

the handy rear porch.
The living room is large enough to
entertain several guests. II extends
across the entire width of the house
and is lighted through six windows. A
fancy balustrade with two square
posts is built along the side of the
staircase leading to the upper floor.
The staircase Is directly in front of
the door opening from the front porch.
A brick fireplace is set into the wall
at the end of the room to the left of
this entrance. In the corner of the
house next to the fireplace is handy

dreams of the home builder had pic
tured it.
In the illustration shown here a
house is pictured which has every ap-
pearance of little bungalow. with all
Of the coziness and homelike atmos-
phere usually associated with such Il
house, and with more than the usual
attention paid to details of finish.
Yet a glance at the floor plans will
show that seven large rooms have been
tucked away within. and no sugges-
ton of crowding is evident. The de-
sign is an exceptional one from every
standpoint.
The sides of the house are finished
with alternate wide and narrow rows
Of beveled siding, having fancy panel
work set up under the gables. The
porch rail Is built up from the ground
line with rough brick. capped with an
overhanging ledge of brick turned up
on edge. The two heavy porch col
umns are plastered from the top Of the
rail up to the roof, and these are
capped, in balance with the rail. by a
single course of brick on edge. The
outside-builf chimney, in carrying out
the idea established in the porch de-
sign, is built Of brick cap at the top.
The roof has a graceful slope, which
is swung out over the porch In a
broad curve. The wide expanse of
roof is broken by the formers, which
are very artistically designed. The
ends of all rafters are exposed and n
unique touch is added In the use of
heavy exposed purlins, built up of

A clever petticoat Of taffeta, made to
wear with full frocks of sheer mate
rails, substitutes wide frill about the
hips for the hoop which is usually in
serted In casing in the gown. 1t
has several points of advantage over
the hoop. The fare In the frill results
from the stiffness of the taffeta and is
supported by parallel corded tucks.
The tucks are run In at two-inch inter-
walls and cord is run in the narrow
hem which extends about the bottom
and sides of the frill.
The petticoat is finished with shall
low scallops about the bottom, outlined
with narrow frills which are extended
into rosettes. 1t Is shirred in at the
waistline to bodice and fastens in
the back. The frlll may be separate
and fastened on at the waistline with
snap fasteners, so that the petticoat
will serve for wear with other gowns
as well as those with a wide flare
about the hips. With frocks of this
character the frill is more graceful
than the hoop and easier to manage. 1t
Is acceptable to women who will not
go to the extreme of the hoop and is
especially effective with dancing
frocks.
Taffeta Is not the only silk used for
petticoats but is the best choice for
one of this particular kind. The Japa-
nese wash silks and crepe de chine
have steadily advanced in favor for
making under-garments. Aside from
the softness and luxury of silk it is
the easiest of fabrics to launder. Like
many fine, sheer cottons the soft, thin
silks are far more durable than they
look. They are to be washed In luke
warm water with white soap and
ironed when about halfway dry, and
they emerge from the right kind Of
washing and ironing with their orig

Lingerie Seams.

Instead Of Joining the seams of lin
gerie with fine beading or having them
hemstitched, you may try this method.
Put about eight thicknesses Of wrap
ping paper between the two edges to
be scanned. Then with a loose ten
sion on the sewing machine and
medium sized stitch, stitch as you
would any seam. Pull the paper away
and roll or hem down the raw edges
Of the seam. When the stitching is
pulled apart it looks very much like
hemstitching.

their appearance by encasing them in

elements, will be better fitted to en-
dure the weather without overhead
ing the system.
Eggs, cheese, fish. In combination
with various vegetables served In the
place of meat are most attractive and
satisfying salads.
Some vegetables are richer in the
proteid element than others; peas,
beans and lentils are the nearest to
meat of any vegetable.
Roquefort Salad.-Prepare crisp
head lettuce and arrange on individ-
ual plates. Prepare salad dressing
of tablespoonful of vinegar to three
of Oil, half teaspoonful of salt, a
few dashes of red pepper; doubling
this portion as needed. Cream a
tablespoonful of roquefort cheese and
add to the dressing, beaten well to
blend, with an egg beaten.
Cheese Jelly SaIad.-Mix half cup
full of good favored cheese with a cup
full of whipped cream; add salt and
pepper to season and teaspoonful
Of gelatin dissolved In three-fourths
of cupful of water. Mold in one
large or in individual molds. Cover
each mold with grated cheese when 1t
begins to harden. Serve with French
dressing to which grated cheese has
been added, as well as a tablespoon
full of catchup.
Nearly all fruits have acids and
salts in solution which are cooling.
and that have tonic properties. A
fruit salad is most gratifying one
to serve on hot day; 1t serves as a
salad and as a dessert. With the ad-
dition of a few nuts 1t will also be
sufficiently nourishing.
Slice tomatoes, small ones, in
halves. sprinkle with chopped, green
peppers and onion and serve with
French dressing.

Minor Feature.

This trick Of using facings that give
dashing color note to the costume
Is becoming one of the most impor-
tant minor features of modern clothes.
1t made its first appearance on the
skirt, In the wide cascades of fabric
that rippled down the right side from
hip to hem; and after it was estab-
lished In this part Of the gown 1t
appeared here and there over the en-

the most attractive ways to make a
hat becoming to a face.
