AIMING ABOUT LONG ENOUGH
Old Gentleman Evidently Thought

Be Getting Ready to Fire.

John Bovine was the most bashful
lad In a Wessex village. For three
years he had been keeping company
with Lottie Reid. but he could not
bring his courage up to the popping
point. On Sunday night. as he was
leaving the garden gate Of his IMAM

who had begun to chafe under the
difidence of his daughters sweet
heart.
"Look-'ee here. John" exclaimed

years now, and l want to know what

INSPIRATION AT ODD TIMES
How LongfeIIow Wrote "Wreck of the
Hesperus"-Rossini Composed
Music in Bed.

Longfellow's "Wreck of the Hespe-
rus came to him as he was sitting by
his fireside, the night after a violent
storm. He went to bed, but could not
sleep; the Hesperus would not be de-
MED and as he lay the verses flowed
on without let or hindrance until the
poem was completed.
One at least Of Rossini's splendid
pieces of music was composed in bed.
1t was when he was young, poor and
unknown, and lived In wretched quar-
ters. After writing a duet the com
poser allowed his manuscripts to slip
off the sheets and fall under the bed,
and moreover be believed ii would be
unlucky to pick the sheets up; so he
went to work to rewrite the duet. To
his disgust he could not remember it.
It was therefore necessary to write a
new one. This he had finished when
a friend entered.
"Try that" said the composer, land
tell me what you think Of It." The
verdict was favorable.
Now" said Rossini, 'look under the
bed. You'll find another duet there.
Try that, too"
The friend did so, and declared the
original composition was much the
better. 1t Is included in his works to-
day.

The cost of the little bungalow that
is here shown and described Is not
great. 1t is of frame construction, set
on a concrete foundation. The prices
Of both materials and labor vary In
different localities, and are controlled
by the freight rates on lumber, and
other considerations. BY consulting
the local architect, contract and ma
terial man the cost Of this bungalow

Unfortunate Arras.

Arras, on the River Scarpe, was the
capital Of the Gallo tribe of Atrebates
In the time of Caesar. Later the CAPT
tai of Artois, Arras is now the chief
city Of the department of Pas-de-
Calais. Since the fourth century Arras
has been famed for its wooden cloth,
and particularly for fine tapestry hang
ings.
Arras was invaded In 1914, when her
grand palace and petit palace were de
stroyed by bombs. The great cathedral
was absolutely shattered, as well as
the railway station. Not n house
was left intact. Just one of the former
inhabitants. an old woman. was left
there. Although 1t teemed with mill,
tary life, beautiful Arras became o

BY WIN. A. RADFoRD.

Home builders more and more are
selecting bungalow designs for their
new dwellings. There are so many fine
things about a bungalow that they ap-
peal to the family, especially the
women members, that intends to build.
There is combined exterior beauty with
convenience, the rooms being all on
n floor, making the work of caring
for the home less arduous, as there
nre no stairs to climb. And modern
efficiency demands that only rooms
that are to be used daily be put into a
home.
Here is shown a bungalow Of rare
beauty. 1t has not the squat" effect
that so many bungalows have, and the
gable roof gives space for an ample
garnet, which is not only useful as a
storage room, but provides for a good
circulation Of air, an advantage both
In winter and summer, as 1t makes the
house both warmer and cooler.
Because of the balance Of this de-
sign, 1t might be called a "Colonial'
