work fits well into the design and the
stucco carries along the general idea
to the smallest detail. Stone is used
in building the porch walls and the
chimney. The porch columns are built
of wood with stuccO finish. The floor
of the porch and the steps are made
of concrete. The large roof surface
is relieved with small dormers. Raft
ers at gable ends are supported with
wooden brackets.
In the room arrangement, notice the
large living room. This room occupies
the entire forward half of the first
floor. An open stair is built along
one end of the room with a landing
at the bottom which is two steps
above the level of the living room
floor. At the other end of the room
is large fireplace with bookcase on
each side. The small closet directly
opposite the front door will be handy
for wraps.
The dining room layout includes a
three-windOw bay, which makes this
room well-lighted and pleasant. A
buffet Is built under the window in
the rear wall. Notice the handy ar
rangement of the kitchen. The two
cupboards will be found very conven-
lent. The second floor contains two
generous-sized bedrooms.

CHAPTER VI. .

The First Question and Its Answer.
Roses instructive attitude toward
the group of young to middle-aged
married people into which her own
marriage had introduced her was
founded on the assumption that, allow
Ing for occasional exceptions, the hus-
bands and wives felt toward each
other as she and Rodney dld-were
held together by the same irresistible,
unanalyzable attraction.
oh, there were bumps and bruises,
of course! She had seen Rodney drop
off now and again into a scOwling alb
straction, during which it was so evil
dent he didn't want to talk to her, o.
even be reminded that she was about,
that she had gone away flushed and
wondering, and needing an effort to
hold back the tears.
These weren't frequent occurrences,
though, and did not weaken her idea
that, barring tragic and disastrous
types-unfaithful husbands, cold, mer-
cenary wives-which had to be ad-
mitted as existing-marriag was a
state whose happy satisfactoriness
could, more or less. be taken for
granted.
1t was something that Simone Gre
vile said which gave rise to her first
misgiving that marriage was not, per-
haps-even between people who loved
each other - quite as simple as it
seemed. No one has studied our lei
sured and cultivated classes with more
candOr and penetration than this great
Franco-Austrian actress. She had
ample opportunities for observation,
because, while sAe played to houses
that couldn't be essed to look more
than third full, she was enormously
in demand for luncheOns, teas, dinners,
suppers. Christmas bazaars, charity
dances, and so on.
Rose had met her number of times
before the incident referred to hap
pened, but had always surveyed the
liOness from afar.
She hung about, within earshot
when it was possible, and watched,
leaving the active duties of entertain
ment to heavily cultured illuminate
like the Howard Vests, or to clever
creatures like Hermione Woodruff and
Frederica, and Constance Crawford,
whose French was good enough to fill
in the interstices in Madame Greville's
English.
She was standing about like that at
a tea one afternoon, when she heard
the actress make the remark that
American women seemed to her to be
an exception to what she had always
supposed to be the general law of
sex attraction.
1t was taken, by the rather tense
little circle gathered around her, as
a compliment; exactly as, no doubt,

amount should not include any doubt
full resources, and it should not in
clude interest on money which is need
ed in the building operations, unless
it Is possible to borrow a like amount
at lower rate than the income rate.
The next item is the money on hand
or available in sums due the prospec-
tive home builder. This item will de-
termlne largely the kind and size of
house to be considered.
A rough balance may here be estab-
lished. There is certain amount
which may be spent in the construc-
ton Of the house so that the expenses
before the house is built will be equal
to those after the house is built. Ordi-
narlly, when this condition exists the
total cost of construction must be
paid from q sum In the hands of the
owner at the time of building. In
case 1t is necessary to borrow a pOr-
tion Of the money, the expenses over
the five-year period will include the
amount borrowed, plus interest up to
the time Of payment. OF course, II

hold Of both her hands, $50 long as
It's like that, you wonder" he said,
"well, the dinners and the operas and
all that may be plfiie, but l shall be
blind to the fact"
She kissed both his hands and told
him contentedly that he was a darling.
But, after a moments silence, little
frOwn puckered her eyebrows and she
asked him what he was so solemn
about.
Well, he had told her the truth.
But precisely as he said II, he felt that
he was not the same man he had been
six months ago. Not the man who had
tramped impatlently back and forth
across Frederica's drawing-room, ex-
pounding his ideals of space and lei
sure. Not the man who despised the
clutter Of expensive junk. That man
would have derlded the possibility
that he could ever say this thing that
he, still Rodney Aldrlch, had just said
to Rose-and meant. And the terrify-
ing thing was that he hadn't resisted
the change-hadnt wanted to resist
didn't want to now, as he sat there
looking at the slumbrOus glory Of her
eyes.
So, when she asked him what he
was looking so solemn about, he said
with more truth than he pretended
to himself, that 1t was enough to make
anybody solemn to look at her.

"oh, | wlsh." cried Rose, "that 1

There is little satisfaction gained
by the man who goes into the building
Of home bllndly. In most cases such
a man oversteps himself, gets hope
lessly In debt and condemns the home
building idea because of his own folly.
Most people obtain such pleasure out
Of owning their own home that they
are willing to make some sacrifice to
obtain 1t. However, If this sacrifice
takes the proportions of a burden
which must be carried for too long
time, its oppression will over
shadow the pleasure which should be
obtained from the home.
This does not mean that man is
wrong in going into debt to obtain a
home. 1t means that he think we'll
and figure carefully before taking ac-
tion. II he can easily clear up all in
debtedness in three or perhaps five
years, he is justified in going into the

his probable resources over the period
which he is willing TO give to pay
ing for his home. The man who has
formed the habit of recording his
current expenses accurately is very
much better able to handle the prob
lem than the man who has only his
memory to help him. Suppose the
prospective home builder decides that
he is willing to build if he can clear
himself in five years. He should look
over his expense account for the pre-
ceding five years and determine as
closely as possible what his yearly ex-
pense has been for food, clothing,
pleasure, sickness and all other such
items, exclusive of rent.

She refused to hear word more
in those circumstances. I'm coming
straight down." she said, "and we'll go
somewhere for lunch. Don't you real
ize that we can't talk about 1t like
this? OF course you wouldn't, but It's
so."
Over the lunch-table she got as de-
tailed an account of the affair as Rod
ney. In his somnnmbulistic condition,
was able to give her, and she passed
1t on to Martin that evening as they
drove across to the North side for
dinner.
"Well, that all sounds exactly like
Rodney" he commented. II hope
you'll like the girl !"
THAT isn't what hope" said Fred
erica. "At least it isn't what I'm most
concerned about. hope / can make
her like me. ROddy's the only brother
I've got in the world, and I'm not go
ing to lose him If can help it. That's
what will happen if she doesn't ike
me-"
AS it happened, though, she forgot
all about her resolution almost with
her first look at Rose. ROdney's at
tempts at description of her had been
well-meaning; but what he had pre-
pared his sister for, uncOnsciously
of course, in his emphasis on one or
two phases of their first acquaintance,
had been sort of slatternly Amazon.
But the effect of this was, really, very
happy; because when a perfectly pre-
sentably clad, well-bred, admirably
poised young girl came into the room
and greeted her neither shyly nor
eagerly, nor with any affectatiOn of
ease, girl who didn't try to pretend
it wasn't a critical moment for her,
but was game enough to meet it with
out any evidences of panic-when
Frederica realized that this was the
Rose whom Rodney had been telling
her about, she fell in love with her on
the spot.
Amazingly, as she watched the girl
and heard her talk, she found she was
considering, not Roses availability as
u wife for Rodney, but ROdney's as
husband for her. 1t was this, perhaps,
that led her to say, at the end of her
leave-taking: "ROddy has been such
wonderful brother, always, to me,
that 1 suspect you'll find him, some
times, being a brother to you. Don't
ct it hurt you if that happens!"

which has been earning interest. this
interest will cease coming In. The
interest amounts will probably balance
one another, since In one case an
amount ceases 10 come In, which
Is practically equal, for a like prln-

her look flashed out beyond the con-

pair of big, luminous eyes, under

ton. Elaborated in a more prosaic
manner, James Watt, young Scotch
man of Glasgow, and an instrument
maker by trade, once had an idea. 1t
was most revolutionary idea. Men
had been working on steam engines
for many centuries, but they had pro-
duced nothing of any practical value
In the engines of that period steam
was admitted into only one end of the
cylinder, and about the only use such
an engine had was to pump water. And
it wasn't very good at that. AS for
using an engine to turn a wheel-why,
nobody had thought of that. 1t SIM
ply wasn't being done. But James did
1t. He let steam into both ends of the
cylinder instead Of only one, put fly
wheel on the end of shaft and a
crank on the other, and there was the
steam engine, all ready for it's real
business.
Watt was born In Greenock, Scot
land, on January 10, 1875, his father
being a builder, contractor and mer-
chant.

CHAPTER v.
The Princess Cinderella.

When the society editor of "Ame-
.-ica's foremost newspaper" as in its
trademark it proclaims itself to be,
announced that the Rodney Aldriches
had taken the Allison McCraes' house,
furnished, for year, beginning in
October, she spoke of it as an ideal
arrangement. AS everybody knew, it
was an ideal house for young
married couple, and it was equally
evident that the Rodney Aldriches
were an ideal couple for it.
In the sense that it left nothing to
further realization, it was an ideal
house; an old house in the Chicago
sense, built over into something very
much older still = Tudor, perhaps -
Jacobean, anyway. In the supplement
tary matters of furniture, hangings,
rugs and pictures, the establishment
presented the last politely spoken word
In things as they ought to be. If you
happened to like that sort of thing,
it was precisely the sort of thing you'd
like.
The same sort of neat, fully ac-
aulred perfection characterized the
McCrae's domestic arrangements.
Every other year they went off around
she world in one direction or another,
and rented their house, furnished, for
exactly enough to pay all their ex-
penses. On the alternate years they
came back and spent two years in
come living in their house.
Florence McCrae was an old friend
Of Rodney's and it was her notion that
it would be just the thing he'd want.
Rodney knew for himself what the
house was-complete down to the
corkscrews. And six thousand dollars
a yebr was simply dirt cheap.
TO clinch the thing, Florence, went
around and saw Frederica about it.
And Frederica, after listening, nom
committally, dashed off to the last
meeting of the Thursday club (all this
happened in June, just before the
wedding land talked the matter over
with Violet Williamson on the way

he'd either go out and buy plush

wouldn't affect Rodney that way.
