The windows are full length of the
easement type. All the windows in
the dining room and living room are
of this kind and are very attractive.
The windows are divided into small
panes which, aside from the fact that
it presents a more distinguished ap-
pearance than solid plain window, is
more economical because, in case of
breakage, several of the smaller panes
are cheaper and easier to replace than
one large one.

PYGMY HIPPOPoTAMUS.
&Y MARY GRAHAM ROIN'INkK

Jimmie Pygmy Hippopotamus,"
said Daddy, ''was very fine animal"
what is the difference between a
pygmy hippopotamus and a full-sized
one?" asked Nick.
1.-THE pygmy hippopotamus," an
swered Daddy, "is about one-four-
teenth the size of a full grown hippo
potamus. They are a different kind
and do not ever grow so large as their
big cousins.
1.-THE cousins live in rivers while the
pygmy family simply like to visit riv-
ers and go there now and again. But
they do not care to spend all their time
in the water.
"They like swampy forests and live
in the banks by the sides of rivers oP
streams, making their homes under
the roots of big, heavy, Overhanging
trees.
''Now Jimmie was very good and
gentle, but sometimes he could be
made quite angry and he was made
that way one day by one of his cou-
sins telling. him he was too small to
be of any use. But he did not quar-
rel long with his cousin, for he thought
it was extremely mean to fight with
any of his own family. And, too, he
wanted to show his cousin how much
better was his disposition. The large
hippopotami family are dull and quiet
and gentle unless they are really
reused. Then they become furiously
angry and will do anything when they
are in a temper.
Jimmie was very happy and he was
feeling his best. Along came his little
brother, Jamie.
"'Hello, jamie he said.
"'Hello, Jimmie said the little
brother. will you tell your little hip
/ popotamus brother a nice story?
Eyes, said Jimmie, wrinkling his
forehead while he thought of story

"'Soon I shall have one thought up,
he said, and Jamie settled down in a
shallow part of the stream and blinked
his funny eyes as though to say:
"'You had better hurry, brother
Hippo, or I'll be asleep, and then you'd
only be telling your story to the rocks
and trees and the stream
''But Jimmie knew how sleepy Jamie
was and he started right aw9y with his
story:

cause he had built his dirt walls toe

who were trying to get him.

where they visit animals and look a
them as if they were strange indeed.

voice.

Wartime Economy.

War seems TO have affected every
item of daily life-and dress is not the
least conspicuous of these. 1t is curl
Gus how much the latest styles have
resulted from the insistent economies
of war; it is noticeable in line, in
materials, in color, in trimmings. To
quote from an article in Good House
keeping: although there has been
no decided change in the silhouette,
the winter clothes can be distinguished
by their narrower skirts. And for the
woman who makes her own clothes,
there is nothing quite so satisfying as
to find models that are simple enough
in line to be easily made, and yet
smart enough to give the appearance
of coming from the best New York
shops. The long-waisted line, the
gathered tunic with the deep band Of
fur, and the tighter underskirt, are
the newest notes Of the season. The
top coat worn with the one-piece dress
is replacing; to great extent, the
tailored suit"

NEW FINISHES FOR SCARFS
Those of Last Years Model May Be
Treated In Many Ways to I'M
prove Their Appearance,

The scarf in itself is by no means an
innovation, but it may be treated in
endless ways to distinguish it at first
glance from last years variety, which
was In the majority of cases a rather
tame affair, due, perhaps to an utter
lack of garniture of any sort.
One very effective way of giving
"cachet" to an otherwise plain-knitted
scarf is to border it's ends with g row
of crocheted balls either in a mH+ch-
ing color or in contrasting shades. An
other clever finish is secured by gath
ering the scarf ends and attaching
thereto three pompons from a single
strand of chenille or wool. Instead of
the conventional crocheted ball trim
ming the metal or wood balls might
be used with the assurance that they
are decidedly to the fore.
Though the knitted scarf and the
one of plain wool jersey are still good,
there is new fabric that is even bet
ter; it is called jersaline, and 1t is a
wool jersey with a velour finish.

How to Save Butter.

"Carelessness about butter is a COM
mon American sin against thrift. In
nearly every family some member has
the habit Of taking huge helpings Of
butter which he or she does not use.
The remedy is simple. Cut slices Of
the oblong pound of butter a quarter
of an inch thick, and cut each slice
into four pieces. When the butter is
served, each member Of the family
take one small piece at a time. 1t
sounds like a small economy, but it is
one which careful city housewives
have practiced for years.-Farm and

Known by Size of JeWeIrX.

Immense earrings are perhaps the
most curious of all ornaments of the
Marco Lagoon tribes. Each tribesman
tries to wear a bigger ring than his
ueighbor, for the larger the ring the
greater is it looked upon as the high
est-prized mark Of the greatest beauty
and distinction. In fact, so great is
the rivalry among the warriors of
these tribes that many of the luckless
natives have been known actually to
tear the loDes of their ears clear
through in their frenzied efforts to
break all records for wearing the
largest earrings.

fed and happy. The average Ameri-
can breakfast is a simple one, which
is sensible, as few people are hungry
in the morning and hearty breakfast
is unwise. 1t is better far to par
take of a meal that has not overtaxed
the cook to prepare or the individual
to digest. mo dinner however beau
tifully cooked and served, no fine raj
ment however costly and becoming,
can ever atone, in the memory of man,
for the wild and untamed morning
which so often prevails in the Amer
lean household" says Olive Green.
The right kind of breakfast begins the
day before as all good meals do.
Corn meal mush fried in little fat
is going to be very popular among our
patriotic families, it is most nourish-
ing, and will take the place of bread
in large measure. BY adding chop
ped meat to the mush before
molding 1t to cut In slices, it becomes
still more valuable as food
There is no reason that the morn
ing meal should not be varied in its
menu, as there are countless ways of
serving the common things in uncom-
mon ways. A hot bread will take the
place of the toast. wafiies and griddle
cakes are dlgested by the active child
as well as the older person, but are
not wholesome for those who take lit
tie exercise. When one feels slug
glsh and stupid an hour or two after
eating breakfast it is advisable to
eliminate the offending food. There
are those who insist upon meat and
potntoes for breakfast, and IL the fam.
lily are active enough to digest such
food well, there should be no reason tC
change the habit, although we al
know that meat once a day is plenty
for health, and we will be richer In

Cause of SeasIckness.

The nausea Of seasicknes is due to
the fact that the nerves from the laby-
rinth run through the lower brain into
the spinal cord just where the motor
nerves that govern the stomach have
their rise. There is q direct nervous
route from the semicircular canals to
the stomach. 1t is true that impress
sions received through other senses
play a part in seasicl1ness, nasty
smells and sights, for instance. But
these "are as a rule the last straw in
breaking down the cerebral attempt to
keep from vomiting, by increasing the
nausea

The coats of the tailored suits are
