A PRETTY FRocK OF CREPE AND PLAIN LINE.
The Pattern for This Design Be-
sides Allowing for All Seams,
gives the True Basting Line and
shows Diagrams for Cutting and
Making.

Crepe linen and plain linen are COM
bined in this frock, also the crepe is
blue and the plain is white. The
frock is one of the snartest as we'll as
one of the simplest for the younger
girl. The straight plated skirt is at
tached to the under waist or lining and
the blouse is quite separate. Here, the
fullness is held by fancy stitching ar
ranged over the gathers. That treat
mcnt is we'll liked and is always pretty
while it does not mean any great
mount Of labor, but plain shirrings can
be used or shocking. The pockets
are novel, and, altogether, the costume
is an exceptional one. IS Mothers who
are thinking about the Coming season
will find it good for school wear.
Linen is always desirable but there are
various cotton materials that are quite
appropriate and one material through
out is as correct as two. Bingham
would make up very prettfly in this
way and either plain Bingham or cham
bray or a plaid gingham. Challis
would be pretty or little blue and
white shepherds check or perhaps, the
skirt and trimming Of plain serge with
the blouse of shepherds check. These
combinations will be much worn
throughout the Autumn, and the
suggestions will perhaps serve for
remaking as we'll as for new dresses.
If there is blouse that has grown too

material and trimmed with the old

lust such trimming of fur as this i
used on childrcn's coats, and since
August means great many cool even
inqs when coats are in demand, ii is
suitable. The model, toe, is good
one for the future. 1t Is very pretty
made OF silk or OF poplin, of chiffon
broadcloti or of similar material. The
coat itself is cut all in one-piecc and IS
shirred over lining to form the girdle.
1t is very simple coat to make and
very attractive one. If the fur trim
ming is not liked, stitched edges can
be used or Inc coat can be made plain
with the collar and cuffs scallopcd.
Broadcloth in blue or in rose color
would be pretty treated in that way.
The tafcta coat would be pretty either
with scallops or with a little soutache
braid arranged in rows on the edges.
The lining extends to the waist only
and is designed solely to hold the
fullness. If the effect of the fur is
liked, but the fur seems over warm tor
the season, marabout could be sub
stituted, or for the very tiny child,
white silk could be trimmed with
swansdown and again, edges of ostrich
are used which are very pretty. These
consist of straight bands that are at
tached under the edges of the garment
and are very pretty, attractive and
seasonable. The collar and cuffs are
sufficient, it is by no means necessary
to trim the lower edge.

them as soldiers" he pointed out. "But

The German "noncom" looked about IN

only two of his mates, Otto and Hans

The chimney is carried well up above
the top of the roof, both for the in
creased draft which is obtained in this
way and for the effect in appearance
which it produces. All doUble-hung
windows have the upper sash divided
to take small panes of glass, and the
fixed-sash windows are built with the
entire sash divided in this way. When
the dark finish is used the effect pro-
duced by this construction is marked.

window on either side. The fireplace
is usually constructed of ornamental
face brick of rough texture.
The dining room is entered through
the living room. This room is one of
the pleasant features of the house. A
bay is built into the wall on the side
of the house and three large windows
are placed In it. In the back wall
two small windows are set, one on
either side Of the buffet. The room is
very well lighted and represents an
excellent method of handling dining

arranged, with sink and cupboards
along the inside wall. A grade door
entry near the kitchen is built large
enough to furnish space for a refrige-
rator.
On the second floor there are three
bedrooms, a sleeping porch, and the
bath. The sleeping porch is room
having two sides filled in with win
dows. This porch may be heated dur
ing the winter months if it is desired.

Everyone is aware of the possibility
OF greatly improving houses by the
addition of a neat brick porch. There
Is, perhaps, no better method of alter
Ing a house TO improve its appearance
than that of adding brick porch. AS
n rule a brick porch may be built on
any house without involving a great
deal of expense other than that of
building the porch itself. 1t is not
necessary TO reconstruct a part of
the house in order TO make the new
porch look right. The increased value
given the property by the greatly inn
proved appearance of the house is usu-
ally sufficient TO warrant the expense
incurred in the construction of the
brick porch.
Many people favor the brick-porch
Idea to the extent that when the de-
sign for their new house is drawn up
a brick porch is included as one of
the most important features of exte-
rior finish. There are a great many
possibilities in face brick, from a dec
orative standpoint. The advancement
which has been made during recent
years in the brick industry is interest
ing. The use of brick as a building
material dates back beyond the oldest
pyramld. The manufacture of brick
may be traced down through the ages
with only one serious break-immedi-
ately after the fall of the Roman en-
pire-when the brick which had al
ready been made were reused for a
