BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRp.

There are maIiy good reasons for
building a home and making 1t entire
ly modern. both In It's outside appear
Inc and In its interior arrangement.
There is pride Of ownership which
benefits the entire family, making them
more self-respecting and more to be
taken account of In the affairs of the
community. There Is the matter of
sound construction, which keeps down
the coal bills and makes the house
more livable In all kinds of weather.
an advantage that is not always a pos
sible attainment In the rented house.
And then there is the advantage Of
convenience to the family, and espe-
cially the housewife in doing her
work.
We are coming more and more to
give first Importance to this PROPOSE
ton of convenience in the home. Run
ming water, both hot and cold, base
ment heating plant, modern lighting,
either by electricity or acetylene, and
built-in furniture, are all essential fea-
lures of q really up-to-date residence,
and no one would think of building to-
day without providing for them. They

William wilkie Collins.

Wilkie Collins, the English novelist,
visited the United States in 1874, and
gave public readings Of two Of his short
stories. His fame as a novelist Gull
minated with the publication Of "The
Woman In White" In 1860, and great
crowds went to see and hear him read.
The two stories he read in this country
were 'The Frozen Deep" and 'The
Dream Woman" which had not yet
been published. His full name was
William Wilkie Collins. He never
made public or literary use Of the VIII.
liam, although 1t was bis fathers name.
The father was a celebrated painter
of Royal academy fame. and. as a Lon.
don critic said, 'the son describes q

she deserves. She is not equipped
with the proper working tools, as q
general thing, and conyeniences and
comforts are not provided for her as
they should be. Many a well-meaning
farmer who believes that he does his
duty toward his wife will spend a hun

used I'm the fields, and then complain
ut spending 10 cents for q cooking
utensil that would save his wife a lot
Of labor. He will 60 to great pains
to provide water for the stock, as he
should, but he overlooks providing for

are large, roomy closets in each room
and q special feature Of the front room
is the dressing room with a triple mir
ror. All Of the closet doors have bevel
plate mirror panels.
The kitchen is fitted with a built-in
cooler, bins. wood lift, ironing board
and sundry cupboards. There are no
cut-up moulds or useless trim to catch
dust and make a burden for the house
wife to carry.
The exterior finish Is spruce siding,
rough side out, stained brown. The
interior Is Douglas fir, stained golden
oak to preserve the figure Of the wood.
The dimensions, exclusive of the porch
es, are "a feet by 43 feet.
This Is q thoroughly modern design,
which is equally good for the farm, vii
Iage, or suburban town. It Is the
story-and-a-half bungalow type that
makes full use Of the space up under
the roof. Some very graceful ideas
are worked into this dwelling, both for
outside ornamental effects and dlsposi-
ton Of the space inside. 1t Is q design
that can be studied with profit by any
prospective home builder.

cent years. This is a residence style
that builds the attractiveness of the
bungalow design into a two-Story resi-
dence. This plan shows some new and
pleasing features. Some of the at
tractive details are the drive with two
side entrances; the wide porch, COM
manding a sweeping view; the fold
ing doors just off the dining room, Civ
ing an outdoor eating place; the at
tractive den; the novel openings be-
tween the hall, living room and dining
room; the economy of space used in
building the main and service stairs
the arrangement Of the kitchen, which
tends to give maximum efficiency in
the preparation and service of meals.
On the second floor the arrangement
Of the bedrooms and the sleeping porch

Where Canes Are Popular.

There is probably no country IN the
world where the use of walking sticks
Is so general as in the United King
dom. Practically every nan carries u
cane, nOt only IN the towns and cities,
but also in the country and, In addi-
ton, there is n large demand for walk
ing sticks for women. these being used
extensively In the country and ut sea-
side resorts. but not to n great extent
In the cities.
The winter months are always rainy
and v during the summer the wealth
er is often very unsettled, SO that the
use of umbrellas Is also unusually
great. These conditions have made
the manufacture Of umbrellas and
walking sticks an important Industry
in the British Isles.

cost a little, but not much as compared
with the benefits to be derived.
Strangely enough, the farm homes
have not kept pace with city homes
with respect to THESE conveniences, and
this in spite Of the fact that the av-
erage farmer can buy and sell the
city dweller several times over. Farm
ers hare been just u little slow in
taking up with these improvements,
probably because of imagined difficult
ties connected with their installation (;
or because they imagined the expense
would be far more than it really is.
There has been a great deal of talk
about farm labor-and the shortage
Of Ii. The farmers have been urged
by everybody who can write an article
for the papers, to produce as great a
crop as possible. But there has been
little said about the farmers wife
and what all Of this increased produc-
ton means to her.
When the farmer himself Is hard
pressed. as at harvest time, he can
generally secure additional help to
take care of the crops. He may have
to pay a little more than In normal
tines, but he secures the additional
