BY WILLIAM A. BRADFORD.

~ WILLIAM ~ mutt nOs
The true enjoyment of life is secure
ly anchored to the existence Of group
of sentiments which are wrapped
around every event in life. One of the
limestone Of the most powerful-of
these groups is that which is para
mount in the establishment of home.
A home which is not built upon the
foundation Of such a group of senti-
ments is no home at all. 1t is unfor-
tunate that very often the establish
ment of home involves the consid-
Grafton of conditions other than those
of comfort In wholesome surroundings.
The man of the house must be near
to his work or the cost OF land is pro-
hibitive where the surroundings are
best. These things must, of course,
be given precedence in some cases.
No matter what enters into the Sc
lection of the place of building, too
much care cannot be exercised In plan
ming the home for comfort. Fine SEN
timents are not ordinarily associated
with uncomfortable surroundings. The
money which is spent purely for the
purpose of increasing the comfort of
the home Is sure to bring returns which
are inestlmable in terms of cash. Let

ment and details of the interior and
exterior Of the house. Encourage her
to go the limit" in saying what she
thinks "would be nice" Put more
features down on the list than you
could possibly crowd into house and
when there is nothing left to be de-
sired, take plenty of time in eliminat-
Ing what is unnecessary and bring the
dream down to the plane of reality
The result will be far better than If
everyone concerned hesitates to men,
ton their pet desire because it would
cost too much"
The structural features of the
house should be worked out on the
basis that 1t Is easy to build too large
but 1t is hard to build too well. The
small house is more easily made COM
Portable than the large house. Money
saved by reducing the size of the
house, when wisely invested in using
little better type of construction
or In providing a few additional fea-
lures OF comfort for the interior, will
give the owner vastly more satisfac-
ton than the pride Of owning a "big
house."
As an illustration of what can be
done to make the house comfortable
the design shown in the accompany
Ing perspective view and the plan has
been selected. The size of this house
is 40 feet by "a feet 8 inches. The
exterior is designed to present home
like appearance, a little of the old
fashioned idea Of "home" being clever
ly worked into the design In the shut
tered windows and the sharply out
lined gables. The main body Of the
house Is rigidly rectangular. with the
long dimension across the front A
central projection provides the living
room extension and the front porch =
built as an extension Of this part Of
the house. The house Is a one-story
structure. but the type Of roof which
has been selected for the design makes
1t possible to obtain a large and well
lighted attic. A modern idea which
IL finding quite rapid acceptance is to
finish such an attic as this with wall
board partitions and ceilings, this
scheme providing additional rooms at
very moderate expense. The lumber
item for such an improvement consists
in a few light framing members to
provide basis on which to apply the
wall board and framework In which
the doors may be hung.
The exterior appearance OF the
house Is rustic. The walls are I'm
isked with stained shingles and all
windows are provided with shutters.
The roof cornice entirely around the
house is given rather wide overhang,
bat the edges Of the roof above the
gables Is held quite closely to the
walls. A large brick chimney projects

will hold you In memory as a gallant

Mr.. Bowser's butcher came running
over, as he stood there, to say:
"Mr. Bowser, are you going to WARP
"Yes."
There is a little bill of fifty cents
against you, but, II you are killed, l
shall not ask Mrs. Bowser for 1t. l
like brave men and you are certainly
mighty brave"
Mr.. Bowser had thoughts as he
leaned against that fence. He thought
of Mrs. Bowser and the cat. He
thought OF the good dinners he was
getting every week. He thought Of
the grave. s'se thought of having his
two short legs carried Off by a cannon
ball. Slowly-very slowly-he as
sumed an erect position. Slowly
very slowly-he walked down to the
corner, from where he could see his
front steps. Mrs. Bowser was not out
there. Slowly-very slowly-he walked
down to his gate and entered. He
heard Mrs. Bowser singing, and the
cook laughing, while the cat was In the
back yard looking for trouble. Mrs.
Bowser heard his step, and called out:
as that you, Mr.. Bowserf"
"Yes."
81 was expecting you back. Take
your things right upstairs and put
them back In your dresser"
And Mr.. Bowser went upstairs with
his suitcase knocking against his leg
at every step and climbed up into the
garrett, and sat down on an old trunk,
and thought and thought and thought.
It was eight o'clock at night and the
whIppoorwill was telling Its lonesome
tale when the warrior came softly
downstairs and lighted his cigar and
took the seat he had always occupied
in peaceful days. and Mrs. Bowser--
good woman that she was, never spoke

the main part of the house. A seat Il
built in against the wall of this ex
tension on either side of the front
door. Because of the proportions OF
this room, these seats are close enough
to the fireplace TO make this a very
cozy arrangement
There is a cased opening into the
dining room. In the same wall, near
the rear end of the room, a double
door leads back to the kitchen. Ad.
joining the kitchen is an exceptionally
complete pantry, which is another of
the special features of this house de.
sign. One side of the pantry is occu-
pied by an outside-lced refrigerator
and wide cupboard with two seats
of double doors. The central part OF
the opposite wall is the back of a
china case which opens into the din.
ing room. On either side of this case
is narrow cupboard opening into the
pantry.
The bedrooms open from the hall al
the rear end of which is the bath. The
hall, turning to the bath, terminates
in a door opening into the kitchen.
The attic stair is also reached from
this hall. The basement stair is
reached from the kitchen. There
Is a rear porch IL feet 9 inches
by 6 feet built into the corner Of the
house at the rear Of the pantry.
Dividing the house into three parts,
the first including the living room, the
second including the kitchen, dining
room and pantry and the third includ-
ing the two bedrooms and the bath,
the following characteristics are easily
observed: The first part has been de-
signed with the predominating effort
TO provide every possible feature which
might add to the comfort of the room.
The second part has been designed
to provide the housewife with every
convenience which might assist her in
reducing housework to a minimum.
The third part has been designed to
follow the best practice in lighting
and ventilation for bedrooms, with the
independence Of these rooms with re-
spect to one another and the bath az
necessary assumed quantity.

II Mr.. Bowser expected Mrs. Bow
ser to faint away, or burst into sobs
and tears, he was disappointed. She
took the news very calmly. Indeed
she rather smiled than grleyed as she
said:
Il have been wondering for some
time why you didn't go to war. You
are an able-bodied man aud 1t is really
your duty. When the honor Of your
country is at stake. you should be one
of the first to uphold 1t. will gladly

Eyes, / am going to war and shall

Mr.. Bowser, in less enthusiastic
tones. "It's one chance in thousand
that ever return, for shall ask to be
sent right into the first battle which
takes place."
"0f course you WILL" replied Mrs
Bowser. "There will be no such thing
as keeping you out of battle. As for
your being killed, you must run the
risk Of that. Won't 1t surp lse the

that he will kill a terrible number OF

"Yes, I've got to pack" said MFR.
Bowser, but he was rather slow about
it. Indeed, he did not get up from the
table for about five minutes, and then
he did not rush upstairs.
"About my writing youi" said Mr.,
Bowser, as he scratched his head. "0f
course, / want to write you as often
as lean. but you mustn't expect let

"Neyer mind. It viii probably come

Mr.. Bowser was half an hour late
In coming up to dinner and Mrs. Bow
ser had begun to worry for fear Of
accident, when he arrived. He came
along In a brisk, excited sort Of way,
and he had not yet entered the door
when he called out:

In an awful way and, Of course, you
want handkerchlefs."
Mr.. Bowser sat down on the steps
and, when she had brought the hand
kerchiefs, he seemed In no hurry
about going. The cat came up to him
and he stroked her back in an affec.
tionate way and said:
"0f course / must uphold the honor
Of my country, but / do love you and
the cat. She seems to realize that l
am going away to be fodder for gun
powder"
Eyes, you may be killed." replied
Mrs. Bowser, ''but other men will be
killed, too. 1t isn't so very dreadful
to be war widow"
Mr.. Bowser stood up. He looked all
around. He looked up and down. He
hated to go, but his country called
him. He shook hands with Mrs. Bow
ser, gave her another kiss and was Off.

then came to halt and leaned against
the fence. half dozen men who
knew him came along and stopped and
asked him II he was going on a jour

was:

the most important part OF the plan
is the living room. This room should
be made the most attractive in the
house. With the features which are
built in as basis to work on, 1t would
not be hard task to make this room
an ideal family center. The fireplace
is located directly in front of the en-
trance from the porch. A built-in book
case fills the space between the fire.
place and the wall between the living
room and the dining room. There is
door leading into the hall on the
opposite side of the fireplace. An In
teresting detail of comfort Is found in
the arrangement Of the part of the
living room which extends out from
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1918-01-25

through the roof near the peak Of
the interseeting gables. This roof is
very effective, its appeal probably rest
Ing in the slight suggestion of the
colonial style of architecture which
has become so popular during recent
years. This suggestion is carried
through the entire design and is one
of its strongest recommendations. The
perspective view shows awnings In
stalled on the porch and front win
dows. These awnings are very desir-
able in summer since they serve to
make a little summer parlor of the
porch, shaded from the direct sunlight
yet bright, cheerful ard coy. There
are a large number of windows In
the walls Of this house, placed in such
a manner that their effect upon the
appearance is pleasantly noticeable.

When 1t became necessary to con-
Ter with Secretary of War Baker, Maj.
Benedict Crowell was obliged to put on
his Oyercoat and cap and step across
the street in Washington to the state,

has taken his typewriter from the

President Wilson has appointed
Major CrOwell to help the secretary Of
war as assistant secretary with some
of the difficulties and intricate prob

engineer by profession and first showed
his merit by his expert advice to the
general munitions board, especially
concerning steel production immediate

WON FAME AS STATESMAN

One of the most picturesque fig
ures in the senate is that Of Senator
knute Nelson, whose decision to retire
from the senate has met with insistent
protest on the part of his friends. But
inasmuch as he has the reputation Of
being "the hardest-headed individual
IN the senate" 1t is not thought likely
that even President Wilson's letter
urging him to return will induce any
change of mind. He has been Min
nes0ta's senator for four successive
terms, since 1895.
Born in Voss Norway, in 1S4S, de-
scended, as he says himself, from
long line of Norwegian pirates, Knute
Nelson came to the United States with
his mother when six years old, and
they made their first American home In
Chicago. Knute helped his mother by
selling papers In the streets. Later
they moved to Wisconsin, and for three
years he attended the academy at
Albion. In the Civil war he entered

the sugar and coal shortage made
startling accusations against the gov
