lately, because I've overheard so very
many of these cruel speeches about
me. 1 do consider it's cruel to make
children hate me when 1 love them So"
ut does seem hard" said the Fairy
Queen. "We'l just have to work hard
to make them get over such ideas.
And I'll help you too, Peter"
''Thank you," said Peter Goblin, as
he hoped and jumped away, for he
felt far more cheerful now.
He went to call on his friends, the
children. He had a very hard time
with one little girl. "Good evening"
said Peter, as he perched himself on
the edge of the right bedpost of her
bed.
She drew the clothes over her head.
"Oh, don't do that" screamed Peter.
"1t will make you have bad dreams
and maybe you'll smother"
"Oh, DEAR" thought Peter, "she will
dream I'm horrid indeed if she does
that" But after a moment she poked
her head out again and looked at Peter.
She couldn't help laughing at him,
for he looked so funny and yet so sad.
But still she was frightened, until
after she had looked again (for be-
tween looks she hid her face), she saw
two big tears rolling down Peter Cob
Inns funny little face.
whats the matter, little sir?" she
asked. She wanted to be polite when
he felt so badly and yet he seemed so
small and tiny to be called just sir.
I'm blue and sad" said Peter,
"'cause children think I'm Dad. They
think I hide in the dark to catch them,
And I love them, and want to tell
them stories. Not a single goblin has
ever hurt a child-no, no, no! Why,
we would disown a bad goblin, we
would"
And at last the child saw that Peter
certainly IA nice, and he went to the
coasting party happy that he had
proved to n little girl the truth about

and kitchen storage on the first floor.
A good sized screened porch is like
wise required. Dining space is to be
provided for at least 10 or u persons.
Picturing all this, one naturally con-
trasts it with former Gays of wood
stove-heated. farmhouses, wherein
chilly drafts played havoc with ones
good temper; of the unheated bed
rooms, wherein the water froze in the
pitcher of the smoky kerosene lamps
that required so much attention; of
the absence of ice in summer; of the
absence of screens against the flies
and mosquitoes; of the thousand and
one hardships entailed because of the
f1imsy construction Of the old farm
houses and their poor arrangement !;
Of the inconvenience and i'll health
suffered because of lack of decent san
itary arrangements. And one pic
lures by contrast a sort Of paradise.
Yet no ready reason appears why
the farmer and his family and his en-
ployees are not entitled to reasonably
comfortable places in which to live.
The great advantage of the room
arrangement shown in the bungalow
farmhouse illustrated lies in the fact
hat the living quarters and living
rooms of the family are separated
from the rooms that are used by the

Peter Goblin grinned when he said

Bv WILLIAM a. RADFORD.

The planning of the ordinary Amer
lean farm dwellings has been given
little attention by most architects. AS
a result, these dwellings are lacking
in attractiveness and in many cOnyen-
fences that are economically possible
and necessary if country life for those
who make it possible for most people
to exist is to be made comfortable and
pleasant.
The ideal farmhouse specifications
should include a hot air furnace or
other heating equipment, a modern
plumbing system and wiring for cleo
trio lights.
The following are regarded as mini
mum accommodations:
Three bedrooms and one bathroom
for the family and one bedroom, with
separate toilet conveniences to &C.
$ cOmmodate one or two hired hands !;
Il living room, dining room, screened
living and dining porch, farm office,
kitchen, laundry and Mushroom, and
sufficient basement space for heating
apparatus, fuel and storage of fruit
and vegetables.
1t is permitted to plan dining room
and kitchen in combination, screening
the one from the other by folding

bedroom that leads to the back hall.
The family occupy the other three
rooms on this floor and reach them by
the front stairs, while the back rooms
are reached by the back stairs.
On the first floor, one of the back
corners of the house is fitted up as a
farm office-the farmers private room
for the transaction of the farm bust
ness. In these days of scientific farm
ing, the guessing system is as useless
as it would be in any other kind Of
business. There must be filing and
records that are Kept on costs and all
the various other details of a business.
The farm office is located so that the
owner or manager can see all the
buildings from his room through the
windows on the three sides.

Blue for LINGERIE,

Pale blue lingerie is coming into
vogue since women seem to have tired
of so much pink. Pale blue is not a
very satisfactory tint for underwear
after the first washington the color
turns a dingy drab.
White lingerie, with pale blue rib
bon, is really much prettier and inf
nitely more satisfactory in the long
run. White negligees are most beauti-
full when made of rich materials. Moth
ing, for instance, could be lovelier
than a peignoir Of embroidered white
crepe de chine or a warm room gown
of white velvet touched with fur. A
golden yellow costume worn in a popu-
lar play this season and draped in
simple folds has offered inspiration for
many an enchanting tea gown.

FROCKS FOR THE AFTERNOON
Charming Dresses Which May Also Be
Worn on Simple Dinner Occasions,
Restaurant or at Home.

Nothing is more delightful to design
or choose or more satisfactory to own
than the dainty frocks suitable for af-
ternoon wear or which may be worn
as a simple dinner dress in the restau-
rant or at home. Fortunately, OBJ
serves a fashion writer in the New
York Herald, one a buy these frocks
on occasions at comparatively small
cost, and if one is clever at having
them made according to individual
taste, a bit of silk, chiffon or crepe de
chine may be picked up at odd times
and a piece of lace to go with it and
later put together with charming re-
suits. The laudable tendency to Hoov-
erie ones clothes fits in happily with
some of the most approved styles of the
day.
A gown of pink chiffon narrows in
effect toward the bottom as so many of
the mOdish gowns do. The use Of a
broad band of flet lace across the bot
tom OF taG skirt is very effective. There

NEW COAT OF MAIL
Entire TUNES of furnished Silver,
Dropped From Neck to Knees.
Warrior-Like corsage Is Embroidered
With Pearls, BriIiiants and Flashes
of SteeI-JeWel Headdress.

Not only Cheruit, but many other
French dressmakers, have lent their
a to making a pronounced fashion
out of silver tissue. Two years ago,
observes a prominent writer, we grew
excessively weary of evening gowns
made of s~uperimposed pieces of tulle
Oh a metallic foundation, and when the
thought of silver and gold tissue pre-
sents itself as a fashion, we turn away
from it in a petulent manner.
But waitl This revival of a coat of
mail for women, the warriors uniform
of ancient days which no modern fight
er would touch, is another and q more
pleasing thing than the evening gown
of metallic cloth.
Entire %tunics, in the twelfth CEN
fury fashion, are made Of furnished
silver dropped from neck to knees, or
longer, Over skirts'of blood red or mid
night blue satin or velvet. Except for
the cOstliness of the material, the tu-
mics have all the simplicity of print
tive dressing. Their Introduction into
the early spring fashions has brought
about a quantity of silver used in ev-
cry way.
Nine. Simone of the Theater An
tome in Paris, is wearing, 1 hear, a
wonderful gown which is being copied
for this country. 1t is of silver cloth
faced with red, hanging in panels on
the ground over a slim, tight skitt that
clings to the figure as she walks. The
w~arrior-like corsagc is embroidered
with pearls, brilliants and flashes of
cut steel. To it she adds a warriors
headdress made of the same jewels as
in the corsage and mounted on silver
cloth.
Wherever silver can be flicked in
and out of a frOck to enliven it, the
designer loses no chance of trying Out
her ingenuity through this channel
When she abondOns the Russian blouse
of gold and bronze metallic cloth
which drops over a skirt of bronze
satin, she takes the same material anC
uses it in bands, cuffs and high, wrink'
led collars that enclose the chin like
a fence.
1t is a strange idea, this bringing
out of a new coat of mail for wOmeI
as the spring approaches. Is it a rec
ignition of their first victory t0@art
suffrage and the fact that they may
be counted as warriors today in civic
national and war work?

Rhubarb Custard Pie.-Add to two

cornstarch mixed with a cupful of
milk, a half cuplul of sugar and a
cupful of cooked sweetened rhubarb.
Pour this mixture into a pastry-lined
plate and bake. Cover with a meringue
If so desired, or serve with whipped
cream well sweetened.
Rhubarb Whip.-When eggs are
more plentiful. try this: Beat the
whites Of three eggs to a stiff froth,
add three tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar and a teaspoonful of lemon
juice, then a pint of stewed rhubarD.
Sprinkle the top with nuts when serv-
ing.
Rhubarb and Raisin Pie.-Add equal
amounts of raisins and chopped rhu-
barb to the crust, as usual. For chill
dren, this may be cooked as sauce,

sago In a quart of water, add a tea
spoonful Of salt. Thin with hot water
until like heavy cream, then pour over

hired heip. This arrangement applies
both to the first and second floors.
This idea was recently brought into
prominence by the Minnesota state
contest for prize farmhouse designs.
Each design had to incorporate this
arrangement in some way.
From the back porch the entrance
leads to q Mushroom, where the men
coming in from their work can clean
up, without going into the kitchen at
all, as they can go directly to the
dining room from the Mushroom. A
case is provided in which the men can
hang their outside work clothes.
Two bedrooms are provided for the
help on the second floor. These can
be shut off from the rest of the up
stairs by closing one door in the large

The kitchen and dining room are
connected by double folding doors,
which can be opened so that the table
can be stretched away out long and
placed between these rooms at thresh-
ing time, silo filling, or for the big
Thanksgiving dinner, when all the
folks are home.
A feature Of the basement arrange
ment is the large space that is pro-
vided in one corner for the storage of
fruits and vegetables. This is placed
away from the furnace and the laun-
dry stove, and is shut off with a solid
masonry wall.
In exterior design this farmhouse
follows the popular bungalow style
