Old at Nioht.

With a scarcity of flags since the
declaration of war, there has been
found an original method of showing
ones patriotism. For a large porch
light, have a large globe, on which
may be painted the American flag. On
account of bad walks in front of the
house, leave the light burning all
night, so when the large flag is taken
down at sunset Old Glory is still In
evidence.

some cases long-haired silk beaver is
adopted, but silk beaver hats are ex-

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD,

The true virtue of the low, gable
rooted bungalow, as far as appear
ance is concerned, obtains when there
is no restriction placed upon the de-
signer as to the space on the ground
which may be used. 1t is fundamental
that this type of bungalow should
have an appearance of freedom. The
design, in its most radical form, may
even be carried almost to the point
where the building might be called
rambling" without seeming to vio-
late the possible characteristics of this
style.
Naturally, the type of house which
occupies large ground area with re-
spect to the total floor area provided
is not the most economical type of
houses to build, either with respect to
materials or land. The man who
builds such a house must be willing to
spend an appreciable proportion of his
Investment in obtaining just the ap-
pearance which is desired. In the low,
expanded, gable-roof bungalow, the in
crease in ground area represents an
increase in cost of the cOf which is
considerably more than the cost of
adding a second floor to a smaller
building to obtain the same added
floor space. There is a certain amount
of the roof cost which must be spent
more or less solely for decoration and

CLING TO CHARM OF YOUTH
Good Complexion Cannot Be Retained
if Covered With Layers of Rouge
and SWathes of Powder.

Every young girl, no matter who she
may be, has the charm of youth and
should hold it. 1t is as elusive as a
dream and cannot last for many years,
so while it is hers she should cherish
it. 1t is the look of youth.
But no girl can hold it, no matter
how clever, who covers it up with lay
ers of rouge and swathes Of powder,
declares a beauty specialist. A touch
of rouge when one is tired and the
face is cOlOrless, especially in the
evening, is not objectionable, but the
girl who has a good complexion, the
gift of nature, should never resort to
rouge or powder, except for the light
rice powder that keeps the face from
the shiny look, which is such a de-
tractor Of beauty.
1t seems almost unbelievable that
! any girl with a. really good complex
ion would resort to paint or powder
and yet it is true that many do. II
may be that these girls have an idea
| that these aids to complexion give
to them the appearance of sophistica.
ton.
And they are right, in a measure
| For rouge invariably does give the
lines of the face an older look, a hard,
ening of the countenance, if too-rash
| ly used.

Women's Inconsistency.

I am prone to believe that woman
with accruing years grows none the
wiser. This fact has proven itself
over and over. Now again do I read
in the newspapers of female
screaming real loud for help when
she discovered a man beneath her
bed. One would suppose, after all
the jokes she has fallen heir to on
this subject, that she would exhibit
reasonable calm in such an emer-
gency by making the best of the sit
uation, but no she goes right on
yelling 'Police!' and losing her head,
thus spelling everything, and the
poor devil who, out of his kindness of
heart took a chance at secreting him
self below the Stats. now languishes
in jail. The time will come when men
will cease bestowing these extremely
dangerous attentions upon the fairer
sex. Then the joke will take on q
different aspect and women wish they
had kept quiet.-Zim in Cartoons

tiles in the walls of the building
These facts are not intended to dis
courage the use of the extended bunga-
low style, for it is indeed a most novel
and very pleasing type Of house for
the person who is attracted by it's
unique characteristics. The point is
that quite often there is an impress
sion that the term bungalow refers
to a low-cost building and when the
prospective home builder comes to the
matter of cost, he is discouraged be-
c2sise what he has picked out as a
low-cOst building is, in reality, not
truly in that class. For small dwell
ings, the bungalow style represents at
tractive appearance at moderate cost,
assuming proper design. For large
dwellings, the bungalow style repre-
sents striking appearance capable of
wide variation, at rather high cost.
A bungalow is shown in the ac-
companying perspective view, the plan
of which calls for a building % feet

she knew the farmer would look after
him?'

Mr. Rooster.
"'Why not? asked Billy.

"T haven't got it-sorry,' said Billy
| Goat, and he started to walk off.
"'You are very heartless,' said Mr.
Rooster.
s'But he saw it was useless to talk
to Billy, SO he wandered back to tell
the hens all about his talk.
Mrs. White Hen had just returned
from a chat she had had with Mrs.
Billy Goat, who had come back to the
barnyard and who hadn't been able to
recognize her own child.
"What do you suppose she said to
me? asked Mrs. White Hen.
''The hens, roosters and chickens
standing around clucked and crowed.
"'We haven't the slightest idea.
What did she say to you?
"'She said,' continued Mrs. White
Hen in an excited tone, that she didn't
care whether she had left Junior or
not. Someone would look after him
most likely the farmer
"'Just what Billy Goat told me- said
Mr.. Rooster.
"But I asked her if she was not
afraid that such thing would not
happen. Just imagine, l tried to eX-
plain to her, if the farmer should de-
eide to wander off when you did
"'She didn't seem to think much of
such an idea. She was too calm for
words. She just thought that every
thing would turn out all right, some
how. and she wouldn't worry about
anything
Dreadful, dreadful clucked the
hens.

dren in such a way gobbled Mr.. and
Mrs. Turkey.
"'Well, sometimes I might be will
ing to eat mine up said Mrs. Pig.

Mr.. Rooster. We'll, the only thing
that can be said is that Mrs. Pig is too
selfish to care about her little ones

young kid like Billy Goat Junior

NEW SHAPES ODD

gave the frames two coats until 1t
shone just like the lovely Oriental
lacquer work. Then from a Japanese
tray she copied a few suggestive
sketches of Fujiyama, the famous
snow-capped mount, a pagoda or two
on the framework right over the black
enamel with some gray paint. To the
slate she hung a slate pencil on a
bright red cord with a tiny sponge
at one end. This she hangs right near
her bed, and when something she must
remember strikes her just as she jumps
into bed before sleep comes, down it
goes on the pretty slate and is safe
till the morrow.
The same idea could be used for a
girl who boards for laundry lists, or
for messages which come by phone
while she is out.

DoQ DAYS.

Dog days is the name applied to
the hottest season of the year at the
time of the heliacal rising of Sirius,
the dog star; that is, the time when
it rose just before the sun. They usu,
ally lasted for about 40 days We
still retain the expression of dog days
rs applied to the hottest season of the
year, but owing to the procession of
the eQuinOXes it is no longer the time
of the heliacal rising of the dog star
The time of dog days dates from the
time when Sirius rises at the same
time as the sun. Because of the pro-
cession of the equinoxes, this time
comes earlier every year by 20 min
uteS, 20 seconds. The almanac max
ers of today in this, as in many other
cases, cater to the OId-time supersti-
tions of the ignorant, and mark the
dog days. Some Of them reckon the
dog days from July "a to August a
the time of greatest heat in summer
in the United States; others date them
from July to August II.

STYLES FOR WINTER COATS
Fashion Provides for Straight Lines
With Generous Fullness, but
There Must Be No Flare.

Straight lines characterize the best
coats designed for the season. This
must not be taken to mean that the
garments are narrow. Quite the con-
trary is true. Generous fullness is let
In, but they are without flare. In
street and utility coats sleeves are usu-
ally set in, while flowing sleeves cut
In one with the garment are the rule
on evening wraps.
An indicated waistline is almost the
Lnvariable rule with the new coats.
Sometimes a belt that is wide and Cir
dle-shaped is used; again a strap belt
tied loosely and with hanging ends
may be favored.
The coat with empire back and
slightly circular front section is occa-
siOnally seen.
Dressy afternoon coats of satin, or vel
vet, and nearly always elabOrately fur
trimmed, are being given a great deal

white concrete copings. Cili1nneys are
built of the same type of brick.
A feature of the interior Of this de-
sign is the large unObstructed floor
space across the front of the house.
The reception hall is extremely roOmy
and opens through cased openings into
the living room on one side and the
dining room on the other. These OPEN
ings are as wide as the depth of the
reception hall and give the impression
that the front of the house is all one
big room. This feature will be appre-
cfated by the lady of the house who
can readily realize its advantage in
connection with the entertainment of
guests.
The living room presents a remark
ably coZy appearance. On the Op-
posite side from the opening into the
reception hall is a big brick fireplace,
which has bookcase on each side of
it. The nook with the seat around it
deserves special mention. The pergola
is not built all the way across the
front of the house, but a little corner
is left projecting out at the end of the
porch. The nook is built into this
corner and seems to be detached from
| the rest of the room. A nook like this
makes a very interesting and striking
| change from the ordinary.
The window seat in the curved six
window bay in the dining room is a
! great convenience. 1t adds consider
ably to the use of the dining room in
connection with the living room when
! they are used together for entertain
| ing. There is pair Of double doors,
full glazed, going onto the front porch,
which make the porch and pergola ac-
cessible from this room. The porch
can be reached from any room in the
front of the house through similar
doors. There are two sets of double
doors from the living room and there
is one set from the reception hall in
addition to the solid door at the main
entrance. All these double doors are
glazed, which helps to light these
beautiful front rooms.
The closets in this bungalow are
plentiful and generous in size. The
reception hall opens into an interior
hall at the rear. On one side of the
connecting cased opening is a closet
for wraps and on the other is a teIe
phone booth, which provides for priv
acy in telephoning. The closets in the
two bedrooms are exceptionally large
The interior hall is a special feature
in this design. It opens into every
room in the back of the house. The
kitchen, the three bedrooms, and the
bathroom are all easily reached
through this hall. The stairs to the
storage room in the attic are also il
this hall. The bathroom in addition
to all the usual fixtures, is large

the proportion between this cost for
decoration and the total roof cost is
ordinarily increased as the area to be
covered is increased. There are also
other considerations which tend to
make the extended bungalow high in
cost. After a certain size of rooms is
reached, there is no advantage in in
creasing the size of the building in
both directions. In fact, it is impos-
sible to do so both for artistic and
structural reasons. This requires the
expanding of the bungalow across it's
facade, ordinarily, since the depth of
the lot is limited, rather than the width.
In order to prevent monotony, this
heightened building must be given
plan something different from the rec
tangular. The necessary irregularity
in walls implies increased cost in franz
ing them and finishing them and also
brings in an extra expense in framing
the roof to conform to the Irregular

chases. When the goods are delivered
she may be present to check up the
parcels and weigh those that are
bought by weight. Today an ounce
of meat short of what you have paid
for means a loss, and a quarter of a
pound short amounts to five or ten
cents, depending on the price of the
meat bought. This shortage may not
mean anything but carelessness on the
part of the butcher, but when he
knows that his goods will come back
if not just as ordered, 1t will make q
difference in the care taken in filling
the order. The woman who SAYS

will amount to a dollar in less than
a month and over $12 in the course of

be taught to be less wasteful, to be
more careful in preparing food in
right amounts so there will be none
or very little left over to make a prob
lem of disposal.

the gas and electricity, may all be
