would prove an irresistible attraction.
Under such circumstances the small
front bedroom would be used as
dressing room.
Stucco houses of this general type
are unusually attractive and have long
been in vogue. The architectural de-
sign and interior arrangement should
merit the approval Of the most exact
ing. A home built to correspond to
these plans should prove satisfactory
in every way and would contain every
element of value that make for peace
of mind, comfort and security for the
money invested.
The perspective view does not dis
close the height of the roof over the
one-story section. Possibly there Is
sufficient headroom to give an attic
for storage purposes, entrance to be
secured through the front bedroom on
that side. The cost of door would
be inconsiderable and storage room
usually is at premium in all houses.

Diplomacy as Is.

The family was going away for a
week and a friendly neighbOr was ap-
pealed to for service as caretaker Of
the goldfish. 1t was little Helen who
carried the goldfish jar next door.
"NOw, Mrs. c." Helen began the
instructions you must change the wa
ter every day and keep the jar in a
cool place. Here is the food. Please
feed them regularly and be very kind
to them"
OF course one Of the fish had to do
the unpopular thing. 1t died. Mrs.
c. dreaded Helen's return and pom
dered long on how she would break
the news to her. The fatal day came.
In bounded Helen.
''Helen," the caretaker said humbly,
'Tm sorry to tell you that one Of your
goldfish died. 1 did everything just
as you instructed me, but it died"
Helens eyes filed and she bit her
lips to fight back approaching grief.
Then her fine childish, diplomacy took
hold. Walking up to the caretaker she
put her hand in hers, then said with
real assurance:
"That's all right, Mrs. c., that's
all right. l said to mamma just a few
days before we went away that
thought one of those fish was looking
poorly"

A part Of the argument in each case Is
unadulterated rhetoric.
Now for a type of modern home,
one that has beauty, convenience and
real value to recommend it for CON

In the perspective views here given
of an eight-roOm house, with sun porch

excellent lines give the house an at
tractive appearance. The wide ex-

porch is private and little parties held
thereon will not be disturbed by
strangers or other guests who call at
lnopportune times. Entrance to the
living room is through a small vesti-
bule at the right Of the house, which Is
protected by the Overhanging roof.

old mare that would come by herself

81 always had to pick up her shoes
and look at them," said the smith. "If
l happened to be busy, she would hang
around for an hour and wait for me to
examine her feet. If any work was
needed 1 did it, and charged it up to
the doctor. If her shoes were all
right, 1 would give them a few taps
with the hammer, and then the old
girl was satisfied" The smith thinks
that mares are prouder than geldings
of a new pair Of shoes. He attributes
this to natural feminine good sense,
rather than vanity. We don't vouch
for the truth of his anecdotes, but we
will say that it is hard to find more
interesting man than this blacksmith
or any blacksmith. He is always
good story-teller, and we imagine that
the rhythmic ring of hammer on iron
develops his imagination.-Farm Life.

In all modern homes are combined
much earnest thought, improved meth
ods of construction, the proper kinds
Of materials and suitable equipment
and fittings.
A home that is archltecturally and
physically right is one of life's great
est achievements.
If possible do not make the mis-
take Of building the first home for
practice. Home building is an eX-
pensive pastime and the home builder
assumes a moral responsibility, for the
mere transfer Of title to house does
not rectify any of its defects in APP
pearance or Arrangement. They are
perpetually in evidence, tangible
monument to the builders lack of un-
derstandlng Of problem he made a
half-hearted effort to solve.
Homes should be concrete express
sions of individual taste, tempered,
harmonized and justified by a cOmpe-
tent architect. The architect knows
how one of your ideas will appear as
part of your home, whereas you think
of it as it appeared when a part of
something else.
Cost-Gauge the cost of the home
by the depth Of the pocketbOOk. Keep
the contract price as far as possible
below the maximum amount you have
to spend. You will have many OppOr-
tunitles, while the building is in proc
eSs of construction or after it has
been completed to use whatever sur
plus there may be and if it is not used
in building it may be used for other
purposes.
Building q home, adding something
of use to the tangible assets of the ma
tiOn, doing your part to create real
value, are some of the reasons why
glow of satisfaction pervades the per-
son or the group that work out such
an enterprise.
It is an undertaking that is so won
derfully worthwhile, so fraught with
good results to so many people that

not such uncommon objects as all that.
Oh, but they are, she tells you, in
France, for the blind So uncommon,
in fact, that only at the Phare you
are visiting can blind men, after eXer-
cising, have the stimulating tonic Of
shOwering water, which helps so much
to tone up the system shattered by
the nervous shock of wounds. This is
one of the Americanisms of the Phare
Look at 1t respectfully.
At the door of the court your guide
hesitates between possibilities and
then decides to show you the printing
press in the big room above the gym
nasium. This is an American ma
chine, the only electric press which
prints books for the blind in France.
BY the time this article appears the
first issue of n monthly magazine for
the blind will have been issued from
this press.
Blind Editor Busy.
The magazine is under the direction
Of a blind editor who with corps Of
seeing assistants (volunteers), will
also, during the winter, arrange for
the publication by this press of a Sc
ries Of manuals in raised type, which
will help the blind in their re-educa-
ton.
You descend the stairs, glance in at
the gymnasium, where a couple of
blind men are now fencing, under the
careful direction of a teacher, and
your guide tells you that the teacher
is perhaps the best-known master of
arms In France. In spite of being
mobilized he manages to come three
times a week to give himself to his
blind comrades.
You cross the court to the room of
the handicrafts. Here you see. sights
which, If you are inexperienced in
what may be done for the blind, seem
miraculous to you. You see a one
armed blind man who In five weeks
has learned to manage a knitting ma
chine so that he can earn a good liv-
ing by knitting sweaters and bands.
You see another blind soldier with
only one arm who is weaving success
fully by means Of device of his own
invention, which enables him to make
one foot do the work Of his missing
hand. You see blind men weaving col
Ored rugs with but slightly more SUI
pervision than is usually given to
sighted weavers, and others who are
making flet work.
Then your guide steers you away
and astOnishes you by saying that you
have not yet even set foot inside the

to the Vatican. The entrance hall is

rs they step out of the dining room
| adjoining, pause for a moment to light
their cigarettes and pull down their
well-fitting uniforms, before they take
| their brisk way along the ingeniOusly
placed paths Of coca mating.
Now you are to see the stenographic
department. Everyone who uses a
| typewriter knows that the best work
is done without looking at the keys
and this means that in typewriting the
blind are perhaps more nearly on a
footing of equality with the seeing
than in any other gainful occupation.
Your guide (remember that she Is
the granddaughter of our General
Grant, stops to chat for a moment
to one of the teachers in the steno-
graphic department, a tall, steady
eyed, extremely attractive American
girl who is another gift of the Ameri-
can White House to the French blind.
This is Miss Esther Cleveland, who is
giving all her time to the work Of
the Phare.
Miss Cleveland is no amateur teach
er of stenography. She has mastered
the entire Braille system of instruc-
ton at the Pennsylvania Institute for
the Blind and has been working for
months In England.
There are the dormltories (fOr this
American institution is housing and
feeding it's men as well as re-educat'
ing them), here are the bathrooms
(strange innovation in this eighteenth
century abOde), there is the clinic
room, where minor medical attention
is given, where wounds are cared for,
antiseptic treatments carried on; as
well as the other rooms already re-
ferred to.
Keeping Men Cheerful.
It is difficult to realize the effort
required to create and maintain the
cheerful atmosphere Of the house,
which means as much for the future
health of the men as does their care
full technical re-education. Outside
the classes, the institution is like
well-run club. The president Of the
French republic has several times
given his box to the blind men at the
Phare, and they often go out to the
theater and the Opera Comique. Own
ers of automobiles send their cars to
take the blind out for long, exhilarat-
ing drives.
The blind men have club of their
own where they discuss all manner of
topics and enjoy music and recitations.
Some of them go for horseback rides
in the Bois, and others, on their vaca-
tions, have found themselves so bene-
flied by the tonic, healthgiving at
mosphere Of the Phare that they have
been able joyfully to take up again
old delights Of swimming and fish
ing.
And all this comes from America.
Here is an American woman who has
left a big American philanthropic en-
terprise and given a solid year OF her
life to alleviating the misery caused
by the war in which her country has
officially no part. Here is a cOmpara-
lively small committee Of American
men and women who, without dipping
into any of the funds raised by the
great war-relief organizations, has
been able to raise money enough to
start and carry on the work you have
seen.

Sleeplessness often follows Overfa-

Those who retire at about nine are
less often affected with it. Emotions
