Many People DO Not Stop to Think At

" Most of the people who are saving
TO build a house-the sort they have
dreamed of possessing give so much
attention to the actual plans of the
dwelling that they do not stop to think
at all of the vast Importance of the
houses setting. ~... 49,. d..
They are joys and profits in site
hunting that the average home-builder
who is willing to content himself with
the first strip Of land in desir-
able neighborhood with which his real
estate dealer confronts him never
guesses. -r.r ~"-> .":...g..
Obviously the average city lot Is
the 'lat, treeless, so by 100" on
which, of course, there is little DOS
sible latitude in building. The house
must be oblong and stand on one of
its ends about in the center Of the
lot, with, an .inconsequential margin on
either side, and q flower-trimmed
square of green in front and rear.
There are many streets Of this type In
every suburb.
But in every suburb also there are
odd corners that have been passed by
as unsuitable. Like the neglected creed
beds in the farmers fields, they are
generally of odd shapes and wooded,
the hand of the '..improver" having
passed them as hopeless. In rural
districts, where land is rated by it's
cultivatab1e area, these are literally
waste and can often be bought for
very little.
= One of the least appreciated kind Of
sites for a home is the gully or draw.
Everywhere among the hills there are
places where the waters have cut out
bed to the rocks and stream
splashes swiftly downward among the
trees. There are few greater outdoor
Joys for folk who like to plan things
themselves and execute them With
their OWL hands than the development
of one of these spots.
If you have a definite plan for your
house in mind before you have an idea
for the site, you should seek your site
to fit the home. A chateau would be
out Of place where a bungalow cot
tage would be wholly at ease. A barn
might be badly misplaced on the idea!

his years. What they heard the but

Frederick turned on her husband q

She was mistaken about that,
though. For once Frederick had over
estimated her powers, stimulated

her husband say:
"Praise heaven you can wear my
clothes. Run along upstairs and break
yourself gently to Freddy"
She heard him come squudging up
the stairs and along the hall, and
then In her doorway she saw him. His
baggy gray tweed suit was dark with
water and toned down by liberal
stipple of mud spatters. Both his side
pockets had been, apparently, strained
to the utmost TO accommodate what
looked like q bunch of pasteboard-
bound notebooks, now far on the way
to their original pulp, and Topped de-
spondently outward. A melancholy
pool had already begun forming about
his feet. His face, above the dis

What Happened to Frederica's Plan

What Happened to Frederica's Plan.
At twenty-seven minutes after seven
that evening Frederick Whitney was
about ten minutes before the hour at
which she had invited guests to dinner
NOT quite near enough dressed to
prevent q feeling that she had to
hurry. Ordinarily she didn't mind. To
Frederick at thirty, the Job of being
radiantly delightful object of regard
lacked the sporting interest of I'M
certainty-was almost too simple a
matter to bother about.
But tonight she wished she'd started
half an hour earlier. Even her hus-
band discovered It, He brought in n
cigarette, and stood smiling down at
her with the complacent look that
characterizes q married man Of forty
when he finds himself dressed in eve
ming harness ten minutes before his
wife. She shot glance of rueful in
quiry at him, and asked him what time
1t was.
"Seven twenty-five thirty-six," he
told her. She made no comment ex-
cept with her. eyebrows, but he must
have been looking at her, for he want
ed to know. good-humoredly, what all
the excitement was about.
"You could go down as you are
and not a man here tonight would
know the difference. And as for the
women-well, If they have something
on you for once, they'll be all the
better pleased"

conceded, "but somehow the notion Of

quickly, IT don't believe it's quite so
deep on the sidewalk, is it?' With
that she waded away toward the curb.
He followed, then led the way to

speaking, shelter. Then, "Where's the
deception?" he asked.
On any other day. it's probable she'd
have acted differently-would have
paid some heed, though a bit con-
temptously, perhaps, to the precepts of
ladylike behavior, in which she'd been
admirably grounded. Today being to-
day, she consigned ladylike considera-
tons to the inventor of them, and
gave instinct Its head.
She laughed again as she answered
his question: "The deception was that
I pretended to do 1t from principle.
The real reason why shouldn't pay

more nickel. It's only about half
mile to the station, but from there

"But that's dreadful" he cried.

audibly, but without seeing her face
he knew she smiled the quality Of her
voice enriching itself somehow.
"And ate bigger lunch than usual,
and that brought me down to ten
cents"
"You will make a complaint about
that, won't your" he urged. "Even If
it wasn't on principle that you refused
to pay another fare? And let me back
you up in it. I've his number, you

"You deserve that, I suppose" she

He grumbled that this was non
sense-the man had been guilty at least
of excessive zeal-but he didn't urge
her, any further, to complain.
"There's another car coming" he
now announced, peering around the
end of the wall "You will let me
pay your fare on 1t, won't your"
She hesitated. The rain was thin

THE BIG STEP

Most romantic fiction ends
with the hero and heroine about
to marry and "live happy ever
after" The author of this I'M
usual serial begins his story
with marriage and carries the
romance for a period of several
years into the realm of double
harness." Taking a couple from
the well-to-do scale of the
Middle West social scheme, Mr..
Webster uses them to bring out
some of the important problems
confronting great many young
men and women who enter the
bonds of matrimony In these
days Of equal suffrage, Of wom-
en- who'd rather work down
town than stay at home, and of
new complications in the bust
ness Of raising a family. "The
Real Adventure" is thoroughly
alive with action. You will en-
Joy the story not only for its ro-
nance but for the element in 1t
that will make you think-and
ponder the intimate happenings
In your own family and In the
families Of your neighbors.

begged his pardon, aud assured him
she'd try to do better.
Another girl who had been waiting
to speak to the professor, perceiving
that their conversation was at an end,
came and stood beside her at the desk
"a scrawny girl with an eager voice,
and question she wanted to ask about
Robespierre; and for some reason
or other, Rosalind Stanton's valedic-
tory smile seemed to include con-
seriousness of this other girl-a con-
seriousness of contrast. 1t might not
have been any more than that, but
somehow 1t left the professor feeling
that he had given himself away.
There is nothing cloistral about the
University of Chicago except its
architecture. AS she went out Rose
felt that the presence of a fat abbot
or a lady prioress in the corridor
outside the recitation-room would have
fitted in admirably with the look Of
the warm gray walls and the carven
pointed arches of the window and
door easements, the blackened oak Of
the doors themselves.
She wasn't fully conscious Of II on
this March morning, but something
had happened that made difference.
IF she'd been ascending an impercep-
tible gradient for the past months,
today she had come to a recognizable
step up and taken 1t. Oddly enough,
the thing had happened back there in
the classroom as she stood before the
professors desk and caught his eye
wavering between herself and the
scrawny girl who wanted to ask
question about Robespierre. There
had been more than blank, helpless
evaporation in that look of his, and
1t had taught her something. She
couldn't have explained what.
She went swinging along alone, her
shoulders back, confronting the warm
March wind, drawing long breaths into
her good deep chest. She had just
had, psychically speaking, birthday.
She played a wonderful game Of
basketball that afternoon, and it was
after five o'clock when, at the con-
IluSlOn VI tic Sdluc anu a COlu SHONSl,
rub, and a somewhat casual re-
sumption Of her clothes, she emerged
from the gymnasium. High time that
she took the quickest way of getting
home, unless she wanted to be late for
dinner.
But the exhilaration Of the day per-
sisted. She felt like doing something
out of the regular routine. Even
preliminary walk of mile or so before
she should cross over and take the
elevated, would serve to satisfy her
mild hunger for adventure.
So, with her notebooks under her
arm and her sweater-jacket unfasten-
ed, at a good four-mile swing she
started north. In the purlieus of the
university she was frequently hailed
by friends of her own sex or the other.
But though she waved cheerful re-
sponses to their greetings, she made

her stride purposeful enough to dis
courage offers of company. They all
seemed young to her today. All her
student activities seemed young. AS
If, somehow, she had outgrown them.
The feeling was none the less real
after she had laughed at herself for
entertaining 1t.
She noticed presently that 1t was
good deal darker than 1t had any
right to be at this hour, and the sudden
fall of the breeze and a persistent
simmer of lightning supplied her with
the explanation. When she reached
Forty-seventh street, the break Of the
storm was obviously a matter Of
minutes, so she decided to ride across
to the elevated-it was another mile,
perhaps-rather than to walk across
as she had meant to do.
She found quite group Of people
waiting on the corner for a car, and
the car itself, when II came along,
was crowded. So she handed her
nickel to the conductor over some
