 At the Fair.
 Despite the unusually cold weather of last evening there was good at
 tendance at the-T-A. B. fair in For esters E@>UCtside of the active work of the young women canvassers and the brisk spinning of the wheels in the various booths the principal form of amusement was dancing and the floor was crowded with the merrymakers. There is no entertain
 ment on the program for this evening.
 The first part will be taken for
 dancing and the latter for the draw ing of prizes. The members expect
 with the final rush of business this evening that the fair will be, a com
 plete success from a social and finan- cial standpoint.
 Trains Behind Time. The cold wave of the past few days has been instrum ental in causing the delay of many of the trains on the main line between Boston and New York. This morning trains that were due a bout o'clock went through the station neear ' o'clock and then had 1 to proceed with a great deal of eau tion as the frost during the night had thrown some of the rails out of posi- tion, making it impossible to pass.

New York, Feb. 13.-There is a strong proba bility that Ichiya ku- magae of Tokyo, who was a sensa- tion of, last years tennis season, will again invade the United States during the coming summer. Some time ago in letter from Hachishro Mikami, his partner in the trip here the word was sent forth that Kumagae had en- tered business and would not return to this country during 1917. Appar- ently the little oriental has reconsid- cred. Japanese friends of his in Los Angeles have received word that ku- magae comtemplates the trip.
 According to the announcement from them, he. will come to the Unit ed States in the early summer and complete in tournaments throughout the season and probably in the na- tional championships. Whether Mi kami will come with Kumagae is un- certain. It is possible that another Japanese will be his partner, for there are several of notable skill in the land of Nippon.
 Kumagae was ranked as the fifth best player in the tournaments of 1916

" RHEUMATISM.
Physician Believes Genuine Rem edy for the Disease Has
 Been Found

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Clark &; Brainerd Co. and all druggists gives quicker and more lasting relief than other reme dies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma passes the deadly poison ous secretions into the bowels and kidneys. from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what a reputa ble physician says about Rheuma: 1T have made a, most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recom- mend it as a remedy for all forms of rheumatism. I find Rheuma far in ad- vance of the methods generally em ployed in the treatment of rheuma tism, and altogether different in conn., position from the remedies usually prescribe ed. ."-Dr. Lyons.
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.

Mems Lyceum Holds Open Meet ]. ing in Honor Of Day
(. A. R. IN ATTENDANCE
Cedar Hill Farm Sold to Cedar Hill Dairy Company-Funeral of Mrs. Mary Malley Held This Morning Other Items.

The Kensington Mems Lyceum ob- served Lincolns birthday in very interesting meeting at the Methodist church The members and invited guests including several members of Stanley Post, G. A. R., though some who had intended to come exercised wise caution in not venturing out into the country on such a severe night, enjoyed an excellent supper that had been provided by the committee.
 The principal address was delivered by Rev Morris E.. filling, pastor of the Congregational church in Rocky Hill. The key to his message was expressed in the words of God charg- Ing Abraham not to sacrifice his son on the altar, as he was preparing to do. The principle drawn from it, that the fathers ought not to sacrifice their sons through their follies and sins, as the world continues to do, even if not on an altar of wood by fire, was impressively applied to many different phases of life. A strong ar raignment was made against war. at the same time with the recognition that war might be inevitable. Some of the dark aspects of our national outlook were pictured, but over against them there was expressed an optimistic confidence in the true spirit of Americanism.
 Interesting short addresses were made by Veterans including Post Commander s. IT. Wood, Comrades Latham and Howell and by Pastor Iounsbury Patriotic hymns were sung at the opening and conclusion.
 Cedar Hill Farm Sold.

BY WILLIAM A.

There are few people who do not
appreciate neat appearance as one of
the characteristics Of a house design.
There are few types of house designs
which can supply this characteristic
to a greater extent than can the Dutch
Colonial type. Associated with this
characteristic, the Dutch Colonial type
of house design, when properly ham
died, may be followed to produce
dwellings which, even in the smaller
sizes, possess q decidedly distinguish
ed appearance. 1t is noticeable that
a well designed Dutch Colonial house
placed on a lot of proper size and hav-
ing the proper treatment of exterior
walls and surrounding lawn, catches
and holds the average persons eye to
the exclusion of notice in a block OF
houses equally high grade construc-
ton but of another equally common
type of design.
There are two rough c~lassifcations
into which houses of this type can be
thrown. These are the plain gable
roof house and the tmulti-gable roof
house. The former is, generally speak
ing, the cheaper of the two houses,
based OH the floor space provided. The

to excessive wall surface and height.
Furthermore, a proportionally large
quantity OF material is saved by drop

line and narrowing the second floor
rooms to obtain full room height. OF
course, the sleeper the roof slope can
be made, without excessive use OF ma
terials and unsatisfactory appearance,
the less the rooms must be reduced ic
size In order that they may have full
height. The matter of lighting and
ventilating second floor rooms offers
the only structural difficulty and there
are numerous ways of solving this
problem. Windows In the main walls
can only be obtained In gable ends. If
1t Is necessary to have windows In
two walls of a second floor room over
which one gable section of the roof
extends, there must be either q dormer
built out from the roof surface or q
section of the roof surface must be
taken out in the design and the inte-
rior wall continued across this section
down to a balcony across the front of
which a railing is built in line with
the main wall Of the building. In the

To attempt to plan your life for a

as foolish as it would be to commence
to add up a column of figures without

Justice, to the innocent sometimes
demands that we expose the faults Of

BILE. Simplicity is made the keynote
of the design and the clean-cut lines
and balanced effects brought out in
the windows, which are usually equip
ped with shutters and have their sash
broken up into q large number of small
panes, Is pleasing to a great many
people who have tired of elaborate
decorative effects.
The multi-gabled house, however,
carries a somewhat more elaborate
treatment, at'the same time preserving
the strong characteristics of this type
OF architecture. The window treat
ment is usually similar to that Of the
simple gable roof house, as far as the
sash are concerned. but the balancing
of second floor windows against those
of the lower floor and the prevalence
of symmetry in the design cannot be
carried out. There Is q difference in

~breakage, several of the smaller panes
are cheaper and easier to replace than
n large one.
The dormers, decorations over doors
and windows, wide shingles, entry way
and white face brick chimney are all
in keeping with the Dutch Colonial
style of architecture used in this
house. 1t is a very well balanced de-
sign arranged with great care as to
harmonious details.
The entry way of brick opens into a
vestibule with a closet for wraps. On
each side of the vestibule is a cased
opening-one into the dining room and
one into the living room. The stairs
TO the second floor go up from the yes
thule.
The living room is very attractiyely
arranged. In the front are four case
ment windows and on the side there
are four more of these windows. The
windows on the side are placed In pairs
on each side of the brick fireplace.
With so many windows, this room is
more like a sun parlor than anything
else. The dining room has two case
ment windows in the front and two on
the side. Because the windows are a
scheme used in the exterior design, it
is a characteristic OF this type Of
house that the rooms are very well
lighted.
In the back part Of the house there
are two bedrooms, q bath and the
Kitchen. A hall connects these rooms.
The secoEd floor plan calls for three
bedrooms and a bath, all cntered from
the hall. Two of the bedrooms are
generous In size and have a large
number Of windows distributed In two
walls of the rooms. The third bed
room, while not so large and not 30
well lighted as the others, is still a
very pleasant bedroom and is well
planned to the furniture which VIII be
