Two hundred million people of

No matter what we have--be It
clothes, automobile or what Motive
Ike 1t to be original; to bear the mark
of individuality. That's especially
true Of house. We want our homes
to be different from those of our
neighbors, but at the same time we
want houses that are attractive in ex-
teri0r appearance and comfortable
and convenient within.
A few years ago builders were
prone to erect number Of houses on
the same street of the same design.
Then it was difficult for stranger to
ind certain house a second time.
Lately, however, architects have been
putting Individuality into their home
building designs. No two houses, al
though tiny may be nearly alike In
size, look the same from the outside;
while floor plans are designed to suit
the ideas of the owner and the size of
the family that is to live In the COM
pleted home.
A striking example Of exterior and
interior treatment Of slx-room house
Is the home shown In the accompany

story OF their heroes.
1T is the tenth year since Troy has
fallen. Though the niad did not
go beyond the death of Hector at
Achilles hands, other stories carried
on the tale through the death Of
Achilles. the capture Of Troy by the
Greeks by means of the strategem Of
the wooden horse. the sacking and
burning Of the city. the death Of
Priam and his queen. the slavery Of
Andromache which Hector had fore
seen, the slaughter Of the little son
he loved so dearly, the escape of
Aeneas with his aged father.
After the booty had been divided,
the Greek chiefs took leisurely courses
to their homes. The great King Aga

To Make a Good Custard.

It is a peculiar fact that many a
woman who can do the most difficult
kind Of fancy cookery. cannot bake
a simple cup custard successfully.
This. no doubt, is because in many
homes custards are not popular.
Every housekeeper should know
how to mako this simple dish, how
ever, In case Of family illness. when
such foods are required. And of
course the mother Of small children
should bake the dish frequently.

minutes).\ Butter four small custard
