There are many possible ways of lay
ing brick in the walls Of a building
and the subject Is now a matter Of i'm
portance with both the architect and
builder.
This greater flexibility of architectu-
raj expression which is possible in
brick construction, as has been said,
seems to be a logical explanation Of
the increased popularity Of brick
porches. There is the fact, also, that
the addition of a brick porch to a
house which needs touch Of modern
ism, gives a tangible increase Of value
to the property which is very accept
able in case Of sale.
The brick porch Is not, however, to
be considered as merely a means by
which old houses may be modernized.
The new house design may call for a
brick porch which will be one Of the
most attractive features Of the exte-
rior. It is usually the case, when this
type porch is used on the new house,
that the foundation walls above grade
are built up of brick also. This in
sures good substantial construction

The popularity of brick porches on
frame houses has been growing for a
number of years. The brick porch has
been used to add the finishing touch to
frame construction over a period Of
years reaching back beyond the In
fancy of the face brick. Its rapid
adoption is no doubt largely explained
by the development which has taken
place in the brick industry during re-
cent years.
The term "brick" has lost some of
the definite meaning which it, at one
time, possessed. Even a generation
ago, when this word was spoken it
called up the image of an uninterest-
ing, dull colored block Of baked clay.
The man who said, 81 am building a
brick porch" had given a complete
meaning to his words and his audience
would at once understand just what
material would go into that porch. Let
man today make such a statement
and If he has an audience which is at

Had Remembered,

Gerald was invited with his parents
to spend the day with family Of four
adults. No children had been members
Of this home for many years, and Ger
AIDS mamma admonished him to be
perfectly behaved, as she wished him
to leave good impression. The father
also had some side talk with Gerald
that mamma did not hear. Arrived at
the home Of the friends, Gerald was a
model of decorum. The women no
ticed him and praised him profusely.
They remarked upon his courtly man
ners, upon which he puffed out his
chest, drew a long breath, and said ::
"Well, If can just stick it out now
till gang ct home guess I'll get that
nickel dad promised me, all right"

ground, the rotting effect of moisture is
eliminated. In case an outside Chin
ney is used, the effect is pleasing in
that all of the brickwork is connected
by the foundation walls.
The house shown in the accompany
ing illustrations is of frame construc-
ton, having the sides finished with
beveled siding and the hip roof broken
UP with small dormers. The porch,
foundation walls above grade and
chimney are built of brick trimmed
with white stone. In carrying out the
decorative scheme for the exterior, ac-
count should be taken of this fact SO
that the wooden part Of the house will
harmonize with the brickwork. This
will probably require that the house
be trimmed in white, but the body color
will depend somewhat upon the kind Of
brick selected.
A novel decorative feature is OBJ
tanned in the rail Of the porch by lay
ing up the brick in checker-board fash
ion, the surface being divided into
squares formed by placing brick with
their faces together in groups of three,
adjacent squares having the brick
placed at right angles. Panels are
formed by bordering a double horizon
tai row of these squares with single
course of straight-Iaid brick. The stone
coping is placed above the upper bor-
der and stone sill below the lower
border.
There are two entrances to the house
from the street. One is from the
front porch and the other is by a
side stoop leading to the kitchen. The
front door is placed near the end OF
the porch. It opens into little vestibule
off Of which large closet fitted with
a shelf and providing generous space
for wraps is built. French doors lead
to the living room. At the far enc
Of this room is a bay in which three
windows are placed. These windows
together with one front window and
the glazed doors, provide an abun
dance Of light in the living room. L
is certain that if this is to be made
the pleasant part Of the house which i;
should be, there must be plenty o1
windows to make the room naturally
bright and cheerful.
French doors are placed between
the living room and the dining room

Embroidery in heavy silk floss, re-

color contrasts in blouses, which often
does not stop at twO-color combina-

things for afternoon wear. Where time

nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Put into
the oven and cook until the liquid is
absorbed. More sugar is liked by
those who originated this dish, often
using a cupful to the above amount,
but to the uninitiated half that guam
tity is a great plenty.
Head Cheese.-Boil three hooks I'M

son as desired, drain and cool. Chop

add the chestnuts and raisins and
heap on head lettuce, serving with a
tablespoonful of mayonnaise or any
boiled dressing.
Meat Loaf With Hard Cooked Eggs.
Chop and mix one pound each of
raw beef and veal with a fourth of

spoonful each of thyme and marjoram,
or q teaspoonful Of poultry seasoning
and a half teaspoonful of onion juice,
tablespoonful of chopped parsley
and salt and pepper to taste. Mix
with half a cupful Of bread crumbs
and two we'll beaten eggs. Butter a
mold and fill it half full with the
meat mixture. On this place length

then fill the mold and cover with but

hours in a slow oven. When served,
If carefully sliced there will be ring

to wool fabrics than shirrings are. In
the beautiful frock pictured above they
are seen at their best, for the skirt is
made up of a series Of panels having
inverted plaits at the side of each
panel. They are strapped down few
inches below the waistline by narrow
folds of the material fastened at each
end with small cloth-covered buttons.
The bodice appears to fasten in the
back and is cut with a square opening
at the front of the neck. The over
bodice of crepe georgette covered with
an all-over pattern, in soutache braid,
probably fastens with snap fasteners,
under the left arm. The. sleeves are
full and plain, finished with deep
cuff Of braided georgette matching the

milk, one tablespoonful of lard, and

with enough flour to make a soft bat

depends the success of the crumpets.
Cover the bowl containing this mix
ture and let rise in q warm place an
hour, or until its bulk is double. Heat
a griddle; when warm, grease it with
butter or pork fat. Grease the muffin

Fill about one-third full with the very
soft sponge. Cover the rings and let
the crumpets bake slowly until double
their height, then increase the heat to
make the griddle very hot, and con-

brown on the bottom. When done they
are white, soft, full of holes on top.
Lay away in pairs, the top sides to-

them with butter and serve piping hot

a teacup, put a spoonful of jelly or
jam, or a thick boiled custard, in the
middle; pinch the edges together as

a round ball and drop into hot fat.
When done roll in powdered sugar.
Serve with coffee or chocolate or tea.
In Holland they are served with the
morning coffee.

Things to Remember.

1t does not matter so much how long
it takes to accomplish a task, as how
worthy Of accomplishment the task
may be. In building character, one can
safely forget the years involved and
concentrate on the details. The mas

about its foundations. The builders Of
the cathedral may have seen the houses

they knew that they themselves would
