Under such circumstances the small
front bedroom would be used as a

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

sufficient headroom to give an attic

unreasonable; and what will it all
lead to?
The adolescent years are those N
which the child feels that he can do
anything that older hsman beings can
do; and, in truth, no one has yet found
the limits Of what he can do. The
rapid growth in physical and mental
strength gives rise to the feeling of
unlimited growth; and past perform
ances quickly lose their interest with
the advent of new powers. All the
possibilities of the child come to the
front, and it is only as these are tried
out that the most profitable lines Of
development can be discovered.
The danger for most children dur
ing this period Of growth end impress
sion Is not in the dissipation through
contact with too many lines Of inter-
est, but in the lack of opportunity to
try out enough to give a broad SYM
patty in sentiment, q wide outlook in
intellect and a wise choice of perma-
nent interest.

while the younger people danced on
the wide veranda 10 the music of a
monograph.
A father was saying that so far as
he could observe the chief reason for
the high cost of living was to be found
in the fact that the young people are
so tickle in their tastes. He did not
remember just how many dollars-but
they were many-his son Percy had
invested in cameras and ruby lights
and dishes and chemicals less than a
year ago, and now he did not care a
bit for photography-was going In for
geology, and had decided to go TO col
lege just to have a chance to study
that.
Father thought that he might have
stuck to photography and finally
worked into the business-it is a
pretty good business-or he might
have made up his mind about geology
last year and have saved all that
money.
Mrs. Darling felt the same sort Of
grievance, for her Genevieve had
made such q muss about the house
with her photographs and things, and
now she hardly ever takes her camera
out. Indeed, Genevieve has had four
hobbies since she took up with the
camera-there was raising pansles,
and h9nd-painted china, and the for
eign missions, and now it's dancing.
The Darlings never mention the cost
Of anything; but such shifting and rest
lessness Is very distracting.
Another mother observed that after
all we have to expect to do q great
deal for our children, but she did
fear that her son was frittering away
altogether too much time in ways that
would prove to be improbable. He
gave up collecting stamps when his
album was far from full, and there II
was. after oil that work, doing nobody
any good. And 1t was the same way
with his wireless telegraph. They
had had so much trouble getting q per-
NIT for the masts, and he had worked
so hard studying the codes until he
was able to pick up all sorts Of curl
GUS and interesting messages (the
mother could not conceal her pride be-
hind her complaints), and now oil was
abandoned since he met that North
boy, who interested him In ants What
all this would lead to goodness only
knew, and she was patient enough,
goodness also knew.
And Mr.. Burrowes, who dreaded the
water, felt the same way about II |:
for had not his son dabbled about In
q dozen-yes, a score-of useless hob
bies, only to turn around suddenly
with his mind made up to enter the
Naval academy next year, when he
would be old enough? AS If there
were not q hundred excellent things
to do on the solid earth! And he pro-
ceeded to enumerate some of them,
though he stopped long before he
reached ten.

party worried together more than
they had right to. Or at least, If
