BUILT CARDBOARD MODEL OF HER HOME-By Mary Eand Nd

MODELLING house out OF cardboard IL
a novel idea. 1t was brought lh'o
existence by Miss Laura Hill. of Boston ana
Ncwburyrort, who was dcsirous of building
for herself a house where she could go loE
week ends and spend the summer months
far away from the hustle aud whirf ot' CITY
life.
During the winter her life is busy one
for she is a noted miniature artist and her
days are filled with her work. 80 that a
house appealed TO her far more than hotel.
1t was not to be a large home, bat one de-
signed to fit the old fashioned furniture,
heirlooms that have descended in the family
for many generations and which she wished
to place as conspicuously as possible.
Feeling that no architect could under
stand, she determined to work out her house
in miniature from cardboard, putting in the
windows, adding the roof and veranda, so
that the builder could not make any mis-
take. Each separate piece of furniture was
measured and assigned its place in the home
before it was even started. so it slipped into
its nook or corner as if it had stood there
forever.
This unique house, built from the model,
is of the Colonial type and stands on the
crest of a high hill about a mile and a half
from the seaport town of Newburyport,
Mass, a city where her early ancestors had
lived, which fact led her to come back to
the city of her fathers for the summer
months.
Miss Hill has shown great taste in the
building of this quaint little house with it's
overhanging roof and attractive enhance
porch that stands overlooking the Merrimsc.
1t is painted soft gray, which\ contrasts
very daintily with the white trim, giving the
appearance of age, an effect that the owner
was particularly desirous to bring out.
The veranda, which extends across one
end, is partly screened by a trellis over
which vines Chamber, and seated here on a
warm summer day one oyerlooks the prim
old fashioned garden, with paths box bor-
dered and showing the flowers of her great
grandmother's day. While not an exact rep
hca of the old fashioned posy beds for
which Newburyport is especially noted, yet it
carries out many of the same ideas and the
>plants have been given her by her friends
in her native city. 1t might be called a
memory garden, for sitting there or WORKING

House


THE efforts of the former royal family of
Prussia to prevent the secret of the
Hohenzollern tsint of insanity from leaking
out have not been very successful. It was
at all times known and freely commented
upon by members of the other royal houses
Of Germany.
Some have sought to account for the ten
denJ of the Hohenzollern mind to stray
beyond the frontiers of reason and common
sense by assuming that it was a curse re-
sulting from that family's frequent mstri-
monial alliances with the Hesse Darmstadt
dynasty, which, for centuries, is said to have
numbered more lunatics than sane members.
This may account for much that has been
done by the Hohenzollerns during the last
century and a half; but cannot be urged in
regard to the ancestors of Frederick the
Great, in whose time the unions with the
Hesse- Darmstadt family had not yet been
entered into.
In spite of his nndoubted genius, Frederick
had peculiarities of temperament and charac-
ter which, though not exactly tantamount to

tim embarrassment.
II Is useless TO dwell here on the mental
traits or the recluse of Doom Castle. For
'ne sake of our common humanity, one
"shes one could consider William III as a
,hAdman, and certainly some of his actions
na'e oeen so erratic that they could be at
triouted to insanity; but on the other hand,

he was perhaps the most gifted and GER
talnly the most sympathetic of the Hohep-
zoherns To these circumstances may be
traced the. reason why he could not get
aiohg with the rest of the family. He hated
everything which savored of militarism. spd
II was well known that, though he was a
mere youth when the great war broke out
he was the only one among the sons of the
Kaiser to demonstrate with the latter upon
the subject and to implore him to avert
from Germany the calamities which be fore
saw.
He had always been a very delicate boy.
and when he was baby no one expected
him to live. This was an incentive to doubIy
cndear him to his mothers heart. and il
made her treat him with more affection than
any of her other children. When he grew I'd

were afforded an opportunity to appreciate
him from this point of view. His brother
Prince Alexander, was immensely fond Of
society. especially that of ladies, whom he
used to take into corners of rooms and en-
brace with efuson, matter what their
age might be. l thus remember one after

himself up as a woman in the evening and.
thus attired, wander after dusk in his park
and startle the sentinels; and when he died
his will was found to contain directions that

less to say. was not granted.
The nephew and successor of Frederick
the Great was principally known by his ex-
cessive love for the fair sex. He tried to
clothe with legality his numerous affairs OF
the heart, and during his wife's lifetime
married morganatically with the left hand
as they say in Germany at least three
women in succession, these being the Count
ess Julie Ingenheim, the Countess Donhof
and Frau Won Lichtensu. How he recon-
ciled these nuptials with his conscience is
another matter, but the fact that he spoke
of these three ladies and of the queen as
being all of them lawfully married to. MIN
does not prove a very we'll balanced mind.

Frederick. Certainly this appreciation of
the stern old soldier was justified by later
events. because the curious characteristics of
Frederick the Great are we'll known, and his
historians, though they have tried to pass
them by, or minimize them, have been
snable to deny that they existed.
ON THE other hand, King Frederick VIII
~ liam l himself was not possessed of what
could be called a we'll balanced mind The
kindest thing that could be said about him
was to call him original. His meanness and
svarice were phenomenal, and his brutal
manner of treating his children was well
known.
Some of the stories in this connection as
related in the diary of his daughter. the
clever Margarine of Bayreuth, sound almost
unbelievable and bear the impress of crazi-
ness, if not complete madness. But he was
such a strong character in other respects
that during his lifetime no one dared cues
ton anything he did or said ; and to the time
of the world war it was the custom in Prus-
sia to praise him for his so called Spartan
temperament and frugal habits, to which
was attributed the prosperous condition in
which he left the country at his death.
However, none in his immediate family
considered him as anything but a madman.
His great granddaughter, the Princess Louise
of Prussia, married later to Prince Anthony
Radziwin, when speaking about him in her
memoirs, remarks that everybody knew that
the king ought to have been locked up in a
able ruler that his family and his people
forgave him his eccentricities and tolerated
them in gratitude for his unfailing efforts to
secure the greatness and the prosperity of
his country"
Frederick the Great was an anomaly
among the HohenZoIerns on account of his
artistic leanings, which made him turn
toward other countries, and France in par
ticular, for the enjoyment of his literary pur-
suits and inclinstions. This, however,
brought him into disagreement with the
other members of his house and especially
with his brother, Prince Henry, who like
wise showed unmistskable lesnings toward
originality and whose conduct on many oc-
casions bordered upon insanity. When
not travelling Henry spent most of his
time at his cass+~-of Reinsberg, in the Rie-
