OPEN FIREPLACE IS FRAUD
Almost Invariably It Won't Draw and
u Il Does Draw the Chances
Are That II Won't Heat,

There is nothing that looks better
In a picture than an open fireplace.
The old Dutch masters discovered that,
and willy craftsmen ever since have
used the knowledge. Witness the flour
ishing modern school Of commercial
art. It's poor photograph that can't
be seen peeping out of the half light
thrown from fireplace. with its lucky
pOssessOr lolling near by in an atti-
tude Of ecstatic alteration. It's poor
brand of socks that can't be worn be-
fore the andirons. or Of chocolates that
can't be munchcd by pretty girls in the
same effective setting. An open fire.
place has come to be one of the stock
properties for producing an effect Of
cheeriness. and. indeed. the matinee
IDOLS heart-rending dilemma is never
so heart-rending as when he tells his
bosom friend about it before stage

Pickering realistically and the violins
sObbing soft accompaniment.
But enough of that old hoax. says
the New Sun. The open fireplace is
fraud. Almost invariably it won't
drawback London. who. whatever
grabbed stylists might say of his writ.
ing. at least knew life out of doors,
made it the summit of achievement for
one who had gone back to the soil to
make fireplace that wouldn't smoke.
And when it does draw it won't heat.
And if it does both. the chances are a
hundred to one there isn't enough cord
wood in the whole neighborhood to
keep it going half day. One Of the
many comic sights to be seen in SUI
burban bungalow is pyre Of bits Of
packing-caSe, small branches of trees,
scraps of timber left by the builder
and such cOmbustible whatnOt touched
off solemnly to show a helpless week
ender what a real open fireplace is
like.
Those who must burn wood to keep
warm don't do it so foolishly. A box
stove of the old kind. that will hold
chunks two feet long. that has no
CRATE. but holds the embers glowing
redly about the fuel still burning, that
roars in a CHEEKY crescendo as the
winds mount outside. is the proper
| caper.
Throw open the swinging door. Was

, embers. pulsing with the breath Of the
fire? A steak would and does broil
there in jiffy. Bread is but passed
before it. and comes out toast. Pota.
toes bake nesting in its bedded ashes,
tea water hollis as If by magic. A
thing of comfort that old box stove.
On the wall behind it is nice, white
blank space that may suitably accom-.
modate one of those nice pictures of q
fireplace.

Dimensions in LANGUAGE.

Perhaps there are states of mind per-
fectly expressible in language; but any
reader with a love for something be-
yond cleverness will value a passage
not so much for content small enough
to be exactly adjusted to its form as
for content which is felt to have ex-
banded the fern, to overflow it, to cir
Gle beyond it, writes George Soule in
the New Republic. This is, for instance,
the charm Of Henry James style; he
did not take language as it was given
him and busy himself with the game of
finding meanings which neatly and
gracefully would fit into it; he kept
stretching it and using it for new pur-
poses until he made of this one-dimen-
sional medium an imitation of three
dimensions, something in which recur.
ring variations of suggestion lead cut
ward and back again until it CONVEYS
not a simplified procession of ideas,
but rich mind as it exists to itself.

II am speaking from my heart,
Elva. Can you give me any hope?"
Youth and love were enshrfned in
the mellow golden sunlight which ir-
radiated Elva Parsons and Maurice
Houghton, seated on messy bank ut
the riverside.
It was the critical, ecstatic or
despairing moment in the fate of Mau.

pated for many months. He was a
small farmer in the district, laboring
nightly from dawn to dark to wrest
a living from the little twenty-acre

and cooperation and happiness.
So he had come to the little home,
had decoyed her into stroll which
she regarded as merely casual, and
now Elva sat blushing divinely, her
eyes averted, but her heart throbbing
with responsive love for her sutton of
year, whose brave, loyal spirit had
long since appealed to her.
Alas the words Of reply that would
make Maurice Houghton happy man
were flattering on her honey sweet
lips, when, suddenly
Crash!
The startling sound aroused both
from their dream Of bliss. They arose
to their feet.

"Oh, Maurice, man in the waterl
He will drown. No! no! do not i'm

But Maurice was gone. In a flash

the chimney at the other. Large slabs
Of stone are laid over this mud floor
with its parallel fiues. The joints are
made alright with clay, and layer
Of clay is added on the top. Finally
the whole is covered with thick oiled
paper. The fireplace is outside of the
wall at one side and the smoke passes
through those fiues in the floor on its
way to the chimney at the other end
Of the house. In this way the whole
room is effectively warmed. Neither
stove nor hibachi is needed in such
roora, even during an exceedingly cold
day, and 1t is q real comfort to sleep
In 1t, feeling, as one does, the soft
warmth enveloping the whole body

Death of Mrs. Charles Byrd.

Sunday afternoon as the shadows
were lengthening a good woman Of
the Berea-Gilgal section departed
this life and entered upon her long
last sleep.
Mrs. Byrd had been i'll for about
two months and during that time
received the most devoted atten-
tions of loved ones, but nothing
could stay the fatal malady. Be-
fore her Marriage, Mrs. Byrd was
Miss Matte Reynolds. She was
born and reared in the commu nifty
in which she died, having united
early in girlhood with Gilgal
church. She will be greatly missed
in the community life but in the
home, to which she was so tenderly
devoted, she will be missed most.
The funeral was held at Gilgal
church Monday afternoon, Rev.

ciating.
Besides her devoted husband
Mrs. Byrd is survived by one daugh'
ter, Mrs. James Stom and two sons

Death of MIR. w. P. Winn.

During the past six weeks the Re
hobeth community and adjoining COM
munities have had four of their Oldest
citizens, all prominent men, removed
by death. The last of the four was
Mr.. w. P. Winn, who departed this
life at his home yesterday at about II
o'clock. For several years Mr.. Winn
has been declining physically, but par
TALLY regaining his strength at times,
his friends did not expect this sever
ance of earthly ties so soon.
Mr.. Winn.was born, reared and spent
his life of three score and seven years
in the house in which he breathed his
last. His beloved wife preceded him
to the spirit land by nearly two years.
His body will be tenderly laid to rest
today in Rehoboth cemetery beside her.
Mr.. Winn was descended from family
that has been actively identified with
the west-side of our county for several
generations. and his activities in the
community life will be greatly missed.
He and his good wife reared large
family of children, two daughters and
eight sons, who were ever thoughtful
and attentive throughout the long
period of failing health. They spared
nothing that would add to his comfort
and happiness.
The children who survive Mr.. Wlnn
are: Mrs. G.. A. Tolbert, w: K. E. f,
