Making the Ear Useful.

The ornamental possibilities of the
ear were probably developed first, per-
haps in the way of hooks for catching
back floral draperies. Then, most like
ly, some one discovered that the ear
was convenient to hang a bunch of
grapes on when interrupted in the
midst of repast. Perhaps the next
cave man began to use his ears for
the purpose of slowing away a few
extra thorns when he was on a fish
ing trip. The development of the ears
for both ornamental and utilitarian
purposes was undoubtedly rapid, and
modern man has merely continued the
customs Of his prehistoric ancestors,
making the ear useful for holding a
pencil, a pen, pair of eyeglasses or
an extra cigarette, while modern wom-
an perpetuates the decorative customs
by having her ears pierced and using
them to suspend various metals and
precious stones

the sills of the building through the
thickness of the wall except for about
four inches at the front, which part
of the wall is later built up with face
brick. A third method is to follow the
wall up above the concrete with face
brick backed with hollow tile
The hip roof of this house is built
with wide cornices having the ends of
the rafters exposed. The slope of the
roof is broken, just above the cornices
into more gentle slope, which gives
the roof an appearance of gracefulness.
The dormer roof is treated in the same
way as the main roof. All of the dou-
BILE hung windows have a plain lower
sash and the upper sash is broken up
into a large number of small square
lights. The effect Is artistic and thor
oughly in keeping with other details of
exterior design. The front entrance
consists of a simple but solidly built
door stained in conformity with the
rough siding, having a narrow window
on each side. This entrance with the
porch-terrace are very effective in EN-.
phasizing the rustic aspect of the
house.
The house has basement under all
parts except the porch. Grade windows
are of sufficient size and in sufficient
number to make this useful part OF
the house. Separate rooms are pro.
vided for the heating plant, the laun.

| built for the fuel.

BIG DESIGNS IN cREToNNEs
Tendency Is Toward Large Figures,
Especially for Window Curtains
and Chair Cushions.

There is, perhaps, no very distinctive
thing about the new cretonnes and
chintzes and printed linens-and, per-
haps, that is just what gives them theil
characteristic charm. For among them
can be found one to suit every sort of
taste.
Perhaps the tendency is toward big
designs-although there are charming
small designs if you want them. But
the big designs are more effective, it Is
safe to say, for window curtains and
cushions in chairs-and nowadays
yards and yards of cretonne are used
for these purposes. Moreover, the bags
that are made now are so huge that
even large designs show well on them.
The bird has come to stay in Gre
| tonne, and he appears in more gor-
geous plumage than ever this year. He
Is most often a parrot, perhaps be-
cause the parrot has such gaudy plum
age by nature that unexaggerated 1t
| makes colorful cretonne. Sometimes
he is some other sort of tropical bird,
Of gayly colored plumage. Occasionally
he is an almost colorless bird of some
sort-and in dull rose and gray-black
| he is quite as effective as the brilliant
parrot.
Then, little figures, chiefly of Chi
nese and Japanese sort, appear on some
| of the new cretonnes. These are very
attractive in some places, and are quite
unattractive in others. In many OF
the smartest new bags they are used tc
distinct advantage. And sometimes
they may be employed in hangings
with very good effect.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Ordinarily, the square type Of house
with its plain hip roof is rather COM
monplace in its appearance, even
though it is hardly ever beaten in the
matter of space economy and convent
ence of room arrangement. Taken as
whole, the square type of house is
very sensible class of building for the
average man, because it represents
very nearly maximum usefulness for
money invested.
The question arises "Can the square
type house be treated in such a manner
as to easily give it a distinctive ap-
pearance without excessive cost?" The
question is most easily answered by
reference to the several methods which
may be followed in finishing the walls
of the building. This subject covers a
wide variety of effects which may be
obtained in adjusting the color, texture
and pattern of the wall surface to
bring out just the character desired.
There is still the possibility of vary
ing slightly from the plain rectangular

First-Floor Plan.

place is one of these. Its use calls for
the utilization of one chimney having
two f1ues to serve two fireplaces and
the basement heater. The fireplace in
the den is built into the corner of the
room while the one in the living room
is centered in the rear wall. French
doors flank this fireplace in the living
room, one set leading into the den and
the other giving entrance to the dining
room.
The front door is located at one end
of the porch, this part of the porch be-
ing built with a roof above, while the
remainder is in the nature of a terrace
Entrance is into a large reception hall.
The open stairway to the second floor
terminates in this hall and an orna-
mental colonnade is built between the
hall and the living room. Directly Op-
posite this colonnade is pleasant win
dow seat. The reception hall also com
municates with the kitchen by way of
a small hall in which door is placed

leading to the grade entry. The base
ment is handy to the kitchen through
this small hall. The dining room is a
pleasant room in which harmonizing
buffet has been built beneath the cen
ter window in the rear wall. The four
bedrooms on the second floor are gen.
erOus in size and are arranged so that
the bedroom furniture will fit in to the
best advantage. Each bedroom has a
closet and there are two small closets
on the hall, which extends from the
stairs across the house and back to the
bathroom.
The exterior of the house is finished
in very novel style. The first floor
is finished with rough boards and bat
tens, the main surface being finished
with a stain and the trim being paint
ed white. Above the second floor win
dow sills, the walls are finished with
stucco, timbered after the English
style. The timbering is worked out to

conform with the outline of the win
dows. The walls Of the dormer are fin
ished after the style of the second
floor Of the building. The foundation
walls are of concrete, which is carried
up to the sills of the house shown in
the illustration. Some might prefer to
build the basement wall above grade
Of brick. Usually the concrete is
stopped at grade and the wall is con-
tinued to the sills with face brick on
the outside and common brick for
backing. A waterproofing membrane
is carefully worked into the wall to
prevent the entrance Of moisture at
the joint between the concrete and the
brick. Occasionally we see the base
ment wall continued up in concrete to

USE MUCH WOOL EMBROIDERY
signs on Almost Every Kind of Ma
teriaI, Even Chiffon.

Since the simple silhouette is an es-
tablished fact, an opportunity has been
given women to spend their time and
energy upon the charming details of
their costumes. In America we have
been so busily engaged changing the
cut &C skirts and the width Of sleeves
that we had no spare moments to spend
upon the little hand touches, the ex-
pert finishings, and the hemstitched
edges. These seemingly Insignificant
niceties are really important, says
a writer in the New York Times. In
Paris they realized that ages ago and
took advantage of the fact, sending US
each season creations to excite envy
because of their infinite attention to
the little things that put their stamp
of perfection upon the finished gown.
Wool embroidery, the Partisan edict
Is, shall be an important factor in the
trimming of winter frocks. They are
drawing woolen threads through it on
silk and satin, on serge and velvet, and
-yes-even on chiffon. And the pat
terms? They are no longer effects Of a
group of roses or a chain ef daisies
stamped laboriously upon the material
and then worked over in tiny, close
lying stitches. The artist takes q
large-eyed needle and a strand Of
bright-colored wool and works out de-
sign directly upon the gown, directly
upon the spot where it will live until
the whole creation has become passe.

the pelicans can fly"
But Mrs. White Duck and Mrs. Tan

happy. They could not fly nearly so
well as the pelicans could, and their
feet were just as bad.
The Pelicans noticed that they had
made the ducks very quiet, and at once
they knew that what they had spoken
about feet was what made the ducks
unhappy.
"We are having a fish dinner" said
Mother Pelican, in a society voice
which she thought very superior and
smart, "and we would be honored if
you would join us. 1t is to be given on
the bank by the pond and we'd enjoy
having fine guests like the ducks"

HATS ARE OF MANY SHAPES
There Never Was a Time When There
Was So Great Variety as Is
Found This Season.

There never was a time when hat
shapes were so diversified as they are
this season; in fact, there are so many
varieties that it would be impossible
for any type of woman to be hated
unbecomingly.
There are many shapes that tend to
the Napoleon styles; novelty tricorns,
models that show the influence of the
Spanish and hats that are adaptations
of the Breton.
The directoire and the marquis
shapes come in for much attention,
and shapes that are seemingly inspired
by the Alpine. Poke mushrooms there
are in plenty with their short backs
and long fronts that coquettishly
shade the eyes.
Then there's the hat with the irreg-
ular brim edge-sides that shoot out
suddenly in points with the opposite
brim much narrower and perhaps just
describing a round edge. Then again
the crowns are irregular-some show

"Quack, quack," said Mrs. White

"Quack, quack, quack," said Mrs

"What is all the fuss about?" asked
Mr. and Mrs. White Pelican.
''We had just noticed your three fine
children quacked the ducks.
"Yes, aren't they handsome?" said
the pelicans.
Of course, the ducks had simply said
they had noticed the pelican children,
they had not said they were handsome.
But the pelicans said so in such way
that the ducks were sure it must be so,
even if they had been little doubtful
about their great beauty in the first
place.
They were just like their mother
and daddy-white with touches of vel
low and black and their feet were like
the ducks feet-web feet.
"And they'll soon be able to fly as
well as we can," said Mother Pelican
proudly.
"We are having lessons every day."

Filipino Embroidery Attractive.

AS it becomes more and more diff
cult to obtain large supplies of French
embroidery there is greater and great
er chance of pushing embroidery from
the Philippines. This embroidery is
really very attractive. 1t is something
like Japanese embroidery, but is su-
perior, in the opinion Of those who
know both types well. More and more
of 1t is found in the good shops and,
therefore, it is an increasingly large
feature in fashionable trousseaus and
layettes. There have been suggestions
that we might gather further inspira-
ton from these Pacific islands in the
way of models for women's blouses.

Apology Accepted.

There is a good story of J. NJ. Bar
rie in Douglas Sladens Twenty
Years Of My Life"
"It appears that the talented author
Of ''The Little Minister" having prom
ised to be present at a dinner of the
Authors club, was late, for which he
apologized.
He had, he explained, been to the
wrong club. He had never been to-
the Authors before, he said, SO he
asked a policeman the way.
From the way he pronounced the
word, the policeman thought he meant
Arthur's club, and to Arthur's accord
!ngly Barrie was directed.
When he got there he found 1t very
grand place. The club porter looked
him up and down, and said:
'"The servants entrance is round the
corner"
It took the moral courage Of q
Scotsman (adds Mr.. Sladen) to tell
that story; but it was inimitably
funny, told in Barrie's broad Doric.-
Exchange.
