I'll put down what little there is.
/ can't see as Father has changed
much if. any these last two weeks, He
still doesn't pay much of any attention
to me, though do find him looking at
me sometimes just as if he was trying
to make up his mind about something
He doesn't say hardly anything to me,
only once or twice when he got to
asking questions again about Boston
and Mother.
4 Well, l guess there's nothing more
to write. Things at school are just
the same, only more So The girls are
getting so they act almost as bad as
those down to Boston in the school
where I went before / changed. OF
course, maybe it's the divorce here,
same as it was there But I don't see
how it can be that here. Why, they've
known 1t from the very firstl
Oh, dear SUI me! How / do wish
] could see Mother tonight and have
her take me in her arms and kiss me.

Floor Plan.

ing rapidity, that very soon the bunga-
low was built stronger and came to
resemble more the home and less the
within. Bungalows are now built of
brick and frame, equipped with heat
ing plants for the cold climates. and
always open fireplaces. In the warm
climates gas heater is often added
to take off the chill Of cool evenings.
But without doubt the attraction Of
the bungalow lies in it's adaptability
to variety In design. Each one is
different and whole street of bun
galows can be free from any faint Of
monotony. The design offers the own
er individuality which is the goal which
most Of us seek. And it is coy. in
definably and undeniably so.
Coziness springs from compactness
and arrangement. glance at the
photograph shown here will serve to
give that impression. This building
is small with an artistically treated
exterior of frame on concrete founda-
tion-the walls do not have to be
solid. footings being used in many Sec
lions. A wide chimney provides the
draft for an equally wide fireplace in
the living room. This chimney is COW
cred with stucco.
In place of the usual porch, this
dwelling has terrace extending across
he front paved with brick on end.

reception halls. The living room, we
find, is a large comfy" room, 10 feet
6 inches by Is feet provided with an
emergency wall bed In case the capac-
ity of the two other sleeping roorEs is
taxed to the limit. Two small wall
bookcases have been built in on each
side of the fireplace,
An informal casing connects living
room with dining room, which is
bright room, 10 by Is feet. 1t has
built-in sideboard or buffet and gets
light from double window on the
side. A door from the dining room
opens into small hall which leads
to the two bedrooms, II by 10 feet
each. Both of these bedrooms are
beautifully situated with regard to
light and ventilation, each of them
has windows on two sides permitting
cross drafts during the night. A bath
room also OPENS off this hall. Each
bedroom has ample clothes closet
space
A door in the rear Of the dining room
opens into a delightful small kitchen
less than 10 feet square, equipped
with range, sink and built-in cupboards
and shelves. Off to one side is small
pantry with built-in work table. shelv-
ing and outdoor icing refrigerator. The
outer door Of this icebox opens out on
to the rear porch where the ice man
can deliver the ice without entering
the house. This is an important con-
venience for every household providing
both protection and cleanliness Stairs
to the cellar originate in the rear entry.
A house of this size does not re-
quire a complicated heating plant, in
many cases the fireplace being sufh-
cient. In cold climate, however,
pipeless furnace will be found quite
economical and satisfactory. If
heating plant is not needed only part
Of the cellar is excavated.
The house is 35 feet wide and AZ
feet long.

ecuted in brick. stucco over frame or

me. She settled everything herself.
But this-and the very thing didn't
want her to ask him, too. But of
course l couldn't help myself That's
the trouble. Youth is so helpless in
the clutches Of old age.
Well. went to my room. Aunt
Jane told me to mediate on my sins.
But / didn't. / meditated on other
peoples sins. / didn't have any to
mediate on. Was it sin, pray, for
me to stand up for my mother and re-
fuse to associate with people who
wouldn't associate with me on account
Of her? I guess not
But even with all this to mediate
on, 1t was an awfully long time COM
ing noon; and they didn't call me
down to dinner even then. Aunt Jane
sent up two pieces of bread without
any butter and a glass of water. How
like Aunt Jane-making even my din
ner a sin to mediate on Only she
would call 1t my sin, and / would call
it hers.
Well, after dinner Father sent for
me to come down to the library. So
knew then, Of course, that Aunt Jane
had told him. I didn't know but she
would wait until night. Father usu-
ally spends his hour after dinner
reading in the library and mustn't be
disturbed. But evidently today Aunt
Jane thought l was more consequence
than his reading. Anyhow, she told
him. and he sent for me.
| My but hated to go! Fathers and
Aunt James are two different propo-
sitions. Fathers have more rights
and privileges, of course, Everybody
knows that.
Well. / went into the library. Fa-

turbed. Anybody could see that. He

Mary, your aunt tells me you have
been disobedient and disrespectful to
her. Have you anything to say?"
shook my head and said, mo, SIR
What could / say? Old folks ask
such senseless questions, sometimes.
Naturally / wasn't going to say I had

MARY AT SCHOOL

SYNOPSIS.-In preface Mary
Marie explains her apparent "dou-
BILE personality and just why is
"cross-current and a contradic-
ton; she also tells her reasons
for writing the diary-later to be
a novel The diary is commenced
at Andersonville. Mary begins with
Nurse Sarah's account of her
(Mary's) birth, which seemingly in
terested her father, who is a ia
nous astronomer, less than a new
star which was discovered the same
night. Her name is compromises
her mother wanted to call her Viola
and her father insisted on Abigail
Jane. The child quickly learned
that her home was in some way
different from those of her small
friends. and was puzzled thereat
Nurse Sarah tells her of her moth
er's arrival at Andersonville as a
bride and how astonished they all
were at the sight of the dainty
eighteen-year-old girl whom the
Sedate professor had chosen for a
wife. Nurse Sarah makes it plain
why the household seemed strange
one to the child and how her father
and mother drifted apart through
misunderstanding, each too proud
to in any way attempt to smooth
over the situation. Mary tells c
the time spent "out West" where
the perfectly all right and genteel
and respectable divorce was being
arranged for, and her mothers Ito
herr unaccountable behavior. BY
the courts order the child is to
spend six months of the year with
her mother and six months with
her father. Boston is Mothers
home. Mary describes her life as
Marie with her mother in Boston
and about her mothers prospective
suitors." Then Mary goes to her
other home, to visit her father He
is the same queer stick. Mary
goes to school.

If Back Hurts
Begin on Salts
Flush your Kidneys occasionally
IL you eat too much
meat.

No man or woman who eats lots of
meat regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
q well-known authority. Too much meat
may form uric acid, which clogs the
kidney pores SO that they sluggishly
filter or strain only part of the waste
and poisons from the blood; then you
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizz-
mess, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feet a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of sealding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take table
spoonful in glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys
may then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
activity, also to help neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus often ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink, which everyone can
take now and then to help keep the
kidneys clean and the blood pure, there
by often preventing serious kidney COM
plications.
