ing the phase Of the classic revival In
England which took place during the
reign Of Queen Anne. The principal
difference between this colonial style
and that from which it was adopted
was in the use of wood rather than
stone as q building material. The resi-
dences In the various colonies each had
characteristics peculiar to the tastes
of the people in these colonies, but the
basic features Of all were traceable to
an origin in Old World ideas. The rich
English subjects, especially in Mary
land and Virginia, alone, built of brick

extensive grounds bordered with high

Of these southern colonial manor
houses were elaborately decorated.
Large fireplaces were used, similar to
those found during the reign of Eliza
beth in England.
Even the finest of the New England
houses were built of wood. Because they
were less extensive in their arrange
ment, they did not possess the dignified
appearance Of the houses built in the
southern colonies, but they were, new
ertheless, picturesque. The type, which
Is familiar to all, was that of the large,
rectangular house having many-paned
windows placed symmetrically and one
above the other, fitted with shutters,
with the entrance directly in the CEN

dOws with their shutters are still ad-
hered to in this style, although the fit
tings used are very different from those
found on the early houses. The out
side chimney, carried up wide at the
bottom to provide for a fireplace anG
narrowed down near the second floor,
is q favorable feature. These houses
are practically always finished in white
with dark green shutters, when built
of wood. The contrast of the shutters
and the chimney with the white walls
of the house is always pleasing.
In this design, the front entrance
leads into a reception hall from which
the stairway leads to the second floor
Cased openings lead into the living
room and library, near the front of the
house, and into the dining room farther
back. A door ut the end of the hall
opens into the passage through the
pantry.
The living room contains the fire.
place, and the ceiling Is furnished with
exposed timbers. The library or den
is very attractive room with its
buiIt-in book cases. The dining room
ceiling is paneled and buffet sets into
the wall between this room and the
den. The rear entrance into the house
is through an entry in which the re-
frigerator is placed. A small lavatory
is provided off of the entry. The
kitchen is handily arranged and we'll
lighted. The serving pantry is an i'm
portant feature of convenience. Two
large bedrooms and two inclOsed sleep
ing porches, sewing room and bath
are provided on the second floor.
The arrangement of this house is
typical Of the smaller modern colonial
style houses, the scheme being to ar
range all of the rooms on both floors
around central hall. Maximum con-
venience, independence of rooms and
the best lighting facilities are OBJ
tained in this way.

terestlng thing which may be observed
IN the work OF those who designed and
built these enrly American colonial
houses is the skill with which details
were adopted from stone In wood.

nlal style is largely Influenced by de-
velopInents which took place after the

approached. The Britishers could see
the iron crosses on their wings and the
three men in each machine. Then out
of the empty air, as 1t seemed, British
and French airplanes began TO gather
around the patrol, diving from above,
climbing from below. They waited the
attack.
A Brave Attempt.
AS the Germans came on their lead

the others behind them, and in a little
while firing began, short bursts from
ours and long, slow firing from the en-

themselves from the main body and
tried to make their way behind the
Huns to cut them off. Their maneuver
was seen and the Huns turned upon
them. They were heavily outnum-
bered. A few bursts of firing, then all
three fell to earth in flames, but two
of the enemy fell with them.
Elated by this first success the Huns
came on. They had grown a little
careless and had lost their formation

their chance and dived suddenly down
into the thick of them. The leader

mass of splintered wreckage.
"That's what comes of getting eXcit-
ed and crOwding," he said as he fired
point blank at an enemy. All round
him was firing. Several machines Of
friend and foe fell to earth past him.
One dropped unpleasantly close to his
tail. Then as suddenly as it began the
battle was over. The Germans had
had enough. They dived toward home,
and French and British followed in hot
pursuit.
But the leader looked at his watch.

than that a great many early colonial
houses were actually partially built in
England, the parts being sent over the
ocean bodily to be framed into the
house on this side.
1t was nearly q century after the
successful colonization of America had
begun that attention became directed
to architectural development. The be-
ginnings of American architecture date
back to the early part Of the eighteenth
century. The early English cOlOnists
held closely to frame construction, but
some brick houses were built in the
southern and Dutch colonies.
In the period of 80 years immedi-
ntely preceding the revolution, the So
called colonial style of architecture
was developed. 1t was based largely
upon ideas prevalent in England dur

When Children Are Cross, Be Kind.
Don't be cross with children when
they are cross. If they are irritable
and pouty leave them alone to their

to walk. Take them for a ride. The

hurts the children and makes them
moody and later respondent.
