be shut of from the rest by merely
shutting one door.
A small back porch is provided in
this design, as II is not needed for
storage space with all the room in the
pantry and back hall. The pantry is
conveniently placed between the
kitchen and the dining room, where it
will be the most useful and conven-
lent.
On the second floor there are three
bedrooms, sewing room and toilet.
Plenty of closet space is provided in
this part of the house for all kinds of
storage purposes. These closets are
built under the caves. Light is pro-
vided for the two side bedrooms by
windows in the gables, and the two
other rooms are lighted by dormer
windows. A hall through the center
of this floor makes all the rooms very
accessible.
The entire plan shows q well-ar'
ranged house that is well suited to the
needs of a fairly large family.

the appearance of the room. The
easement window is mighty conven-

other types OF windows for a given
space, because no room is wasted for
sash weights, etc.

The side of the porch near the front
door is covered with a small gable
that is built out from the house. The
other side has no roof over 1t ard is
covered with a pergola. This Is a
pleasing and unusual way Of finish
ing the porch. The three porch pillars
sre finished in stucco and have triple
posts on them to support the roof.
A small dormer window is built to

caves are supported by brackets the

A very attractive living room is
connected with the reception hall by q

Mr.. william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building for the readers OF this
paper. On account Of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer. he
Is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1897 Prairie
avenue Chicago, Ill, and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
The accompanying floor plans and
perspective show an attractive bunga-
low that contains plenty of room. On
the ground floor there are FIVE rooms,
including two bedrooms, and there are
also three other bedrooms on the Sec
ond floor. This arrangement makes
this good house for quite family.
The exterior of the house Is fin
ished in true bungalow style. All the
structural members are allowed to
show and are not covered as they are
in the ordinary type OF house. The
wide, overhanging caves are supported
by brackets which, instead OF being
concealed, are painted white so that
they stand out against the finish of
the building. II is absolutely neces,
sary with an overhang as wide as this
to have brackets supporting it, to
prevent sagging.
All the exterior wood trim Is In
white, and the stucco on the walls is
finished in gray. The combination of
the white trim, stucco. and the brick
chimney makes an attractive appear
ance.
The front porch is handled in O
very different way from ordinarily
The porch is built across the entire
front Of the house and is divided into

also largely taken up with four. These
windows insure the bright and cheer
full appearance of these rooms, either
separately or when used together.
One Of the best features of a bunga-
low is the arrangement that Is pos.
sible with the rooms. BY means of
halls such as cannot be obtained in
the fats in a city all the rooms are
easily reached and yet privacy is In
sured. The back hall In this design
makes all the rooms accessible and
yet the living part of the house can

The Unwary Girl.

And the young woman who wants to
leave the old home town or the farm
for the city? 1t is much harder for
her to get along than for the young
man. Wages for women In the indus.
tries are very low and Jobs are
scarce. Decent living conditions are
beyond her reach unless she gets good
pay. Pitfalls for the unwary or unfor-
tunate young woman are everywhere.
Even II the girl must work as do

Plans Were Antagonlstie.
When the military committees OF
the house and senate first met to con-
slider preparedness measures there
was feeling that 1t might be impos-
sible for any kind Of compromise to
be reached which would be satisfac-
tory to the members of both houses.
There were two Numerically opposite
plans proposed for the accomplish
ment of preparation through the land
forces of the United States. Seem
ingly the senate committee was de-
voted beyond divorce to plan for a
continental army and seemingly the
house committee was just as devoted
to the cause of antagonism to contt-
mental army. AS for the members or

Of them were divided among them
selves as to the merits of the two
plans, while others believed there
should be no preparedness at all. This
was the situation when the subject
came up for first consideration in the
two branches of congress.
q AS soon as Secretary Garrison re-
signed it seemed that there was a re-
newed feeling Of confidence among the
Democrats In the house that their plan
to strengthen the National Guard and
to ignore the proposal for continen-
tai army was the more certain to sue
coed. 1t is we'll known. of course, that
President Wilson and his former Sec
rotary of war, Mr.. Garrison, were in
favor of the continental army plan. In
one of the presidents letters to Mr..
Garrison at the time of the secretary's
resignation he said he had confidence
in the patriotism and the judgment of
the members of the committees OF
congress.
