"a boy named Gerald" said Daddy,
"was finding it very hard to do his les
sons. School had commenced and yet
the days were so lovely it was hard
to study.
''There had been such a long and
glorious summer too when studying
had not been thought of, and now play
ing was so much easier to think about.
"It was afternoon and Gerald was
sitting on the back porch of his home
studying. He liked the front porch
better as there was so much more to
be seen there. People passed by on
their way to the post office and boys
who were playing baseball or who were
going for a walk in the woods.
"But he had known if he had sat
there he would not have been able to
say No. if he had been asked to join
walking party.
$50 very sensibly he was sitting on
the back porch. In front of him was
a table and upon the table were his
books and his box of pencils.
"He could not draw a map and he
was supposed TO nave Ou0 uEdWH 4OI
the next day. He found it so hard to
remember just how the places looked
on the map and he was supposed to do
it from memory.
'tHe gave up trying the map after a
few moments. Then he sat and chewed
the end of his pencil. Perhaps in q
moment or two he would think of all
the places he was suppose to mark.
''He decided he would do his arith.
metic but he could not manage the
sums. They were all so extremely
hard. Much worse than they had been
in the spring, though in reality they
were little easier. The teacher had
known the children had had a long
summer and it would take them a lit
tie time to get back into their work.
"He tried to do the sums but
couldn't. What a pity the book had nc
answers in the back! And he began te
chew the end of his pencil again while
he tried to think.

First-Floor Plan.

second floor joists. The rail used is of
an especially pleasing design. The
second floor overhangs the porch at
this end of the building, three solid
square columns being used to carry the
weight down to the foundation. The
porch ceiling is very carefully insu-
lated and sealed tightly so that the
sleeping porch above will be protect
ed.
Even more interesting than the exte-
rior design is the interior arrange
ment. The entrance into the house
is by way of a vestibule which opens
into the living room. Three rooms are
here grouped together in a most pleas
ing manner. Centrally located in the
group is the large living room with its
three-window bay. Toward the front
Of the house through a large cased
opening is the coziest little den which
anyone might ask for. Bookcases are
placed on either side Of the room just

from the rear porch. Across the wall
opposite the entrance there is a shelf
from the chimney to the side wall
This shelf is high enough so that the
refrigerator sets under it. The most
interesting detail of this arrangement
is the location Of the serving pantry
This pantry connects the kitchen with
the dining room. There is a cased
opening from it into the kitchen and
a swinging door into the dining room.
A cupboard occupies the wall toward
the rear of the building. A slide is
provided which extends out under the
window in the hall between the pam
try and the breakfast porch.
The first floor bedrooms are ar
ranged according to the best modern
practice, which places them side by
side with a connecting hall. Each
bedroom closet is fitted with shelf
and a rail all around for clothes hooks.
Most contractors and builders will sug-
gest that an iron pipe or wood rod be
placed horizontally across the closet
just under the shelf, so that clothes
placed on hangers may be hung there,
greatly increasing the capacity of the
closet and keeping the clothes in
much better condition than if they
were hung against the wall.
The second floor is reached from the
living room, the stair door being di-
rectly in front of the vestibule. The
stairs lead to the sewing room on the
second floor which connects with an
open hall leading to the bedrooms and
| toilet. There is linen closet in this
| hall handy to the two bedrooms. These
bedrooms are provided with closets
and in the larger one there is also 8
| shelf just behind the door as it swings
open. The statement has been made
! that there is practically no outside
/ exposure on the walls of the second
floor rooms. This is clearly indicated
on the plan, which shows that there il
plenty of storage space provided un
der the roof along both sides of the
building These spaces are reached
from the sewing room and from the
sleeping porch.

Knitted Hats for Fall.

Knitted sport hats are to be the fad
for September and October wear. And
after all, if one can knit a war helmet
one ought to be able to manage a new
golf hat. Whole hats of knitted wor-
sted are NInted over buckram frames
in sailor -. mushroom shape, and
some young women, fancying the spe-
cial shapes of their summer sport
hats, are knitting hard to get them
covered by fall. The sides of the
crown can be covered with a straight
strip of knitting, like a broad ribbon
band, but it is harder to manage the
circular strip for the brlm covering
and facing, and the circle that covers
the top of the crown. Those who find
the problem Of knitting a hat cover
too difficult can abandon 1t and make
a crocheted hat, which is a great deal
easier.

SPANISH SAILOR HERE AGAIN
Lifted Brim May Be Edged With Beads
or There May Be Flat Fringe
of Ostrich.

We see once more the Spanish sailor,
which provides an excellent canvas for
beautiful ornamental ideas, says an
exchange. The lifted brim may be
edged with beads, or there may be laid
along the under surface fiat fringe of
ostrich. The Breton shape, while not
new, is good enough to continue little
longer. Lanvin features the Breton,
and one of her best models is exc
cuted on these lines, the material be-
ing hatter's plush in beige color. The
brim carries a small fiuting of beige
colored faille,,' and high at the front is
placed a wheel composed of alternat-
ing stripes of faille and plush. All
fabric hats appear to be more popu-
lar than felts. Velours sailors are ex-
cellent style, and their one bad quail
lty, which is that of keeping the head
too warm, is overcome now by the use
of ventilating holes, such as are used
in mems hats.
In the matter of color, we find that
teal and peacock blue are among the
best shades, with munition gray 6

MORE LINEN WILL BE USED
Cotton Promises to Become More Ex-
pensive as Result of Its Use for
War Purposes.

Every woman should go over her
linen and take stock at least once a
year. She should have some marks
upon the sheets and tablecloths where
by she can tell the date of their pur-
chase, in the opinion Of an experienced
housekeeper.
In this way she can tell whether q
certain make is wearing well, whether
1t does or does not pay to get the best
quality, and also tell exactly how much
more is needed to replace that which
must be discarded.
Nice linen is expensive, but it has
been found to outwear the cheaper
grades. Furthermore, nice linen be-
speaks refinement in every way.
Incidentally the war has brought
about so many uses for cotton that by
next year linen promises to be less ex
pensive than cotton.
For this reason we can all revel ii
the luxury Of sleeping in linen sheets
using linen towels and having only tht
purest of linen for our table.

First Said of Goldsmith

"He touched no subject that he did
not adorn'' was first said in a Latin
epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith. mi
tetigit quod non ornavit." The Eng
lish version of it was used in an epi-
taph on Matthew Hale Carpenter of
Wisconsin by jeremiah S. Black Of
Pennsylvania. Carpenter died in 1881
and Black, who was attorney general
of the United States from 1857 to 1861,
died in 1883. His epitaph on Carpen-
ter began as follows: ''The most ac-
complished orator of his day and gen.
GRAFTON, he addressed no audience that
he did not charm, and touched no sub
ject that he did not adorn." The Latin
epitaph on Goldsmith was written by
DIR. Samuel Johnson.

Sublime Orders.

Colonel Cork was, as colonels go,
not a bad old stick to have about
regiment, says London Ideas. Recent
ly he had three men Of his company
in to help him remove the grand piano,
and, as this gift of Aunt EIiza's was
of hefty build, he signed blank order
that the men might obtain beer from
the capteen; leaving the amount there
of for the warriors to fill in them
selves.
Here was dispute.
''Put down six pints," suggested Pri-
vate Dumps.
''More like barrelr" growled one
of the others.
But at last the sergeant came along
with the right idea. He filed the pa
per up thusly:

CLEAN IRONS SAVE CLOTHES
They Should Be Secured With Finely
Sifted Coal E,shes and Occasion
ally Washed In Soapsuds.

To remove rust from flatirons, rub
the spots with emery paper, and If
not successful thin cover the spots
with sweet oil ard powdered quick
lime, allowing this to remain on for
several days.
Sometimes clothes that have been
painstakingly laundered in the early
stages are marred, if not quite ruined,
because the f1atirons are in an unclean
condition.
A good way to clean irons is to
scour them with finely sifted coal
ashes, and occasionally to wash them
in strong soapsuds. When thoroughly
cleaned rub with sweet oil and stand
aside in a dry place for several days.

When Amethysts Turn White.

A man recently brought back to a
jewelry store three rings set with
amethysts which had faded to pale
yellow within a few months after he
had bought them. He then discovered
that instead of amethysts the gems
were topazes. The latter vary in color
from pale yellow to deep violet and
purple. Under high temperatures
amethysts change color, becoming first
yellow, then green and finally entirely
colorless. Under ordinary tempera-
ture, however, genuine amethysts do
not change color.
