The porch runs into a terrace
through what would be termed colon
made in interior design. The terrace
in front of the living room serves all
the purposes of the much-desired porch
in front of the living room. In this
way, however, there is no porch roof
to obstruct the light coming through
the windows into the living room.
Entering the reception room from
the porch, one window in front, two in

PROPAGATING BY CUTTING
By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Where thousands of plants are
grown for positions in the open air
during the summer, this is an impor-
tant operation from March onward.
Considerable forethought and know
ledge of the work are necessary to OBJ
tain the plants in suitable condition
and in sufficient numbers when the
time for planting out arrives.
Although decried by some, the scar
let geranium still has hosts of admir-
ers, especially since the Introduction
of so many beautiful varieties.
Cuttings of the varieties of which
the numbers are short can be inserted
now. These may be obtained from the
old plants lifted from the beds in the
autumn, or few tops may be taken
off the strongest of the young plants.
Inserted in light, sandy soil, they will
soon root on a shelf in a warm house.
Cuttings of ageratum, coleus, hello
trope iresine, fuchsia, fibrous-rooted
begonia, etc, when required in guam
ity, should be inserted in bed of sand
made up in propagating frame with
bottom heat.
Three inches of sand will be suffi-
cient, and if this is made firm, we'll
supplied with water and bottom heat
of 70 to so degrees maintained, many
of the cuttings will be rooted in a week
and ready for potting up singly in
small pots.

pearance of the room.
In the living room there are three
large windows in group in front and
two on the side, while in the dining
room there are three large windows on
the side. This makes both rooms nice

Gave Field Glasses to Country.

One of the British steps in mobiliza-
ton Of national resources for war was
to call on all citizens of the empire to
contribute their field glasses and tele-
scopes for use at the front. Almost
10000 glasses were found acceptable
among those offered. They included
all sorts, from the highest-grade binoc-
ulars suitable for artillery range find
ing to old-fashioned telescopes that are
used to distinguish hostile from friend
ly airplanes. The glasses were con-
tributed chiefly by hunters and follow
ers of horse racing. They came from
the remotest parts of the empire, even
from Malaysia.

A home to some extent shows how
progressive and ambitious its owner
is. If it is well designed and attrac-

cludes that the owner is a particular

rather quickly be said that the owner

On none Of the battle fronts Of Eu-
rope has the fighting activity Of the past
q hours been marked. In Flanders. how
ever, the great artillery battle continues
most violently. seemingly preparing the
way for further heavy infantry activity
One Infantry Engagement
The only infantry engagement in Elan
ders has taken place on the line between
Ypres and Dixmude, with the French
troops the aggressors in both instances.
Northwest of Bixschoote the French have
enlarged further the gains made on
Wednesday. Southwest of Bixschoote in
the region south Of Langemarck, the
French have made some progress into the
German line.
Terrain conditions in Flanders, made
more difficult by the rains of the past 10
days, are such that without the destruc-
ton of enemy defenses by artillery fire
it is nearly useless to throw forward in
fantry attacks. There are indications
that the Anglo-French guns of all CAL
tbres are eneat nd in levelling the German
defense positions. The German general
staff reports the artillery fire in Elan
ders as very great and says it has been
especially heavy on the Belgian coast and
from Bixschoote to Hollebeke. The lat
ter sector takes in most Of the importan.
Ypres salient.
Except for several local raids by the
French, there has been no infantry ac-
, tivity on the long line from st. Quentin
to the Swiss border. The French and
German guns. however. are hammering
the opposing lines along the Aisne front
In Champagne and on both banks of the
Mouse in the Terdun region.
Russians Check Teutons
Apparently the Russians have checked
greatly the Austro- German advance in
Gallcia and Bulowina. as no notable adj
vances have been made by these Teutons
since the Russian line stiffened. To the
south in Moldavia the Russians and Ru-
manians are attempting to reoccupy the
positions north Of Fokshani lost to Field
Marshal Won Mackenzen's men. They
have attacked the Austro-Germans with
strong forces, but Berlin says the effort
failed. The number Of prisoners taken
by the Teutons in this region is reported
to have reached 1900.
