WHERE BRITISH RULERS MEET
Houses Of Parliament, by the Thames
at London, One of Worlds State
Hest Buildings.

The building occupied for legislative
purposes by the British parliament at
Westminster, London, was begun in
1910 from plans by Barry. The style
Is ornate late perpendicular the area
eight acres. The structure comprises
IL courts, some of large size; LOO
rooms and 100 stairways. The Thames
front is $40 feet long, with low square
towers at the extremities and flank
ing the raised central portion. The
square Victoria tower at the southwest
angle is $40 feet high. The middle
tower and the pointed clock tower at
the north end are slightly less lofty.
The house Of commons is toward the
north end Of the great structure. 1t
measures IS by As feet and Al high,
and is solidly and simply furnished,
and paneled with oak. There are u
windows Of colored glass. The house
Of lords, 90 by 45 feet and 45 feet
high, is very richly decorated. It's
walls are adorned with historical fres-
cos. Among other notable rooms are
the Central hall, between the house
Of lords and the house Of commons,
octagonal in plan and finely orna-
mented, and the queens robing room
and the royal gallery, used by the
sovereign when he or she opens or
prorogues parliament in person. st.

houses is the skill with which details
were adopted from stone in wood.
The modern adaptation Of the colo
NAL style is largely influenced by de-
velopments which took place after the
revolution and If the general outline of
the house and perhaps the window ar
rangement are followed, this is consid-
cred sufficient to characterize the
structure as a colonial style house. The
roof design is one particular which de-
signers use to advantage in varying the
appearance of their colonial houses. 1t
Is true that the old colonial houses
which are still standing today have al
most every possible type of roof rep

RAISE CALF ON WHOLE MILK
Various Supplements Which May Be

CBy r. 8. HULCE and w. B. NEVENS,

tom
Raising the dairy calf on whole milk
alone is too expensive. There are a
number of supplements which may be
combined with whole milk in order to
lower the cost of the ration. The
feeds most commonly used as whole
milk supplements are skim milk, home
mixed meals, commercial calf meals,
and hay and grain.
On farms where skim milk Is avail
able, it may be substituted for whole
milk in the ration Of a healthy calf

If you travel through the country
and notice the houses both in the cities
and in the open country, you will find
houses of the colonial style every
where, strikingly attractive in any en-
vironment, provided they are not
crowded too closely. The colonial
style Of architecture has a strong
American appeal because Of historical
association and also because of the
beauty of simplicity. The early Amer
lean homes, after which the modern
colonial homes are modelled, were all
framed in a manner which brought
their beauty out from their simplicity.
The architectural style adopted by the
colonists was naturally affected by that
of the country from which they came,
and therefore, the homes which they
built after the period Of privation and
discomfort had passed, could easily be
distinguished as following the English
style of architecture. Even farther

Much emphasis has been laid upon

Saving CarOlin

EodNIHS Nuioi"
OFT OF THE HOUSE. BY NJ. f. F. Irwin.
George n. Doran, New York.
NJ f. f. Irwin in her new novel writes
of a set Of characters in a set Of crcum-
stances such as we know nothing of on this
side Of the Atlantic. Her heroine is Caro-
lin, Of the ancient House of Pomfret, n
girl trained in the manners Of the Oldest
school, educated from the books of edu-
Gators Of the sixteenth century and destined
apparently to perpetuate tho House of
Pomfret by marrying into it exactly as all
the men and women OF this circumscribed
old family have done through all the GEN.
turies since its beginning.
Carolin has the delicate beauty, the super
refined exquisite personality, the mechanical
precision Of conduct characteristic Of all
the Pomfret women. Her childhood has
been spent with very old people in the bit
terest stage of decay; her young girlhood
knows nothing of young people. She knows
nothing of life except as measure which
she has learned by rule to tread with suit
able grace of action.
A warm-soued musician seeks out her
dormant human womanliness and with ad-
mirable boldness lures her out of the
strange House of Pomfret into love and
happiness Miss Irwin has created dark,
cobwebby atmosphere in her story that is
keenly felt and her character drawing and
personal description are Of unusual strength.

sents in a modern literary style the tales
