The combination Of the colonial and
Dutch styles of architecture, which
commonly is called the dutch colo
nial," is a popular type Of dwelling.
The Dutch colonial has the beauty of
the colonial, without its plainness;
the sloping Dutch roof, with the wide
dormers, makes possible an economical
use of the space within the four walls.
And one point about the Dutch CO.
lonial is that 1t may be a small house,
but it appears large and substantial.
Such a house is shown in the ac-
companying illustration. Here is a
Dutch colonial house that is only 80
by % feet In dimensions, exclusive of
the sun parlor, and contains only seven
rooms; still 1t has the exterior ap-
pearance Of large home.
The colonial effect In the exterior
of this house Is secured by placing
the door in the center and preserv-
ing the balance with duplicate sets of
windows on either side. The porch
at the entrance is patterned after the
old homes of New England, having
only a slight roof projection, which is
supported by round columns. The
slope of the roof and the wide dor

let the child decently care for his mother.
There's bathing for instance. Do you
really get all the fun out of your daily dip
you might? Or have you reduced it to
negligible routine?
not how TO eat that does not care what he
not how to eat, that does not car what he
eats. For eating is pleasurable. And no
crumb of pleasure ought TO be wasted. Jesus
even made eating and drinking a sacrament.
And certainly God made food and called IL
good, and should we despise it, like overwisc
Peter?
And sleeping. It's third Of your life.
Do you know how TO do it? Can you make
it daily sacrament, and an exercise in
happiness? Or do you never think of it,
except as a bothersome necessity?
And exercise Golf tennis baseball. run
ming jumping, motorcycling, climbing,
dancing. Children get most of their un-
quenchable spirits from moving their bodies.
And have you never read the saying that is
written, Except we be converted and be-
come as little children, we cannot see the
kingdom?
Comet we are brothers to the dog, the
cat and the COW; let us not go back on our
relations. They have been much maligned.

Work--Play

The true pleasure of play is relaxation from work
Relaxation. rest. il from a contrast of occupations
Play is a contrast from work,
Work is contrast from play
We may much physical and mental effort in play

return rested to work.
One is a relaxation from the other.
All play and no work and play becomes dissipation.
All work and play and we become stale.
Absolute idleness, activity at all, Is degeneration
And it is very easy to understand why there is rest,
relaxation in contrast of actvtieseven with the same
amount of effort
While ut work one set of brain cells and muscles
active while at play another of brain cells and muscles
active
One set is resting while the other is working.
Eight hours of work. eight hours of play and eight
hours of sleep is the commonly accepted rule.
Activity during hours of both work and play is not
harmful providing il is in contrast
The hours sleep the only needed for absolute
inactvity-complete relaxation.
We would be better balanced people if those with
physical occupation to take mental activity and
those of mental occupations to take up physical
activity during the hours commonly allotted to play.
That is to say-et the store, bank and newspaper
workers play baseball and do garden work Let the mill
