Hogs usually are neither Intelligent
nor companionable. but like other AMI
mails they do not always run true to
type. In moving from one farm to
another, perhaps ten miles away, Mr..
Turner, q farmer of the Kentucky
hills, decided, writes contributor to
the Youths Companion, to leave his
herd of forty swine In an open field at
his old home until the following morn
ing when he would return for them.
Next morning he was up early In his
new house, making preparations for
the arduous task of driving before him
over rough mountain roads two score
hogs, any or all of which might prove
refractory. But when he emerged from
the house into the front yard imagine
his establishment at seeing his hogs,
all forty of them. standing before him
at the gatel
Were the hogs 30 much attached to
their owner that they followed him to
his new homer Or did they follow the
trail of the farmers cattle? The own
er and all the neighbors. too. were
completely mystffied.

Bloch and Arakelian were invited

Average Skirt Is Now
About Fourteen Inches

There Is general agreement among
the Paris designers, writes fashion
authority in the New York Herald
Tribune, that the skirt length shall be
shorter and the average skirt is now
! abbreviated at about fourteen inches
above the ground. The slender outline
continues and has an imposing list of
sponsors, but the ffared hemline and
the wide skirt have also been launched.
Patou, Charlotte, Lanvin, Worth and
Chanel are among the authorities pro-
mitigating this slightly different sill
houette, and their names augur well
for It's future.
The waistline Is still subject to
varied interpretations, but the most
distinctive autumn touch is the di-
rectoire, or high waist, and it is fea-
tured prominently in the collections of
Premet, BechOff, Poiret, Anna, Cheruit,
Martial ct Armand and Charlotte.
The sleeve is Of primary Importance
to the new mode. The long, tight
sleeve is the dominating type, but it is
subject to some artistic and interest
ing manipulations. Patou and Agnes
show the tightness through the entire
length of the sleeve. Callot makes 1t
tight below the elbow and full above
1t, while Lanvin exactly reverses this
order.
Numerous types Of tunics are fea-
tured. Some are fiared and some are
slashed, some are bias and some are
straight, but practically every design
er has included the tunic frock in his
or her collection. Among some, notably
Agnes and Poiret, the tunic is the out
standing characteristic.
The ensemble remains for another
season. This idea gathered rapid mo-
mentum during the later weeks of the
summer, and in these days of the sim
pie silhouette it is appreciated by the
woman who insists upon some exclu-
sive touch to her costume which cam
not be easily copied. Practically every
important designer sponsors the en-
semble In some form.

1t is somewhat strange coincidence
that no Goldfish swim nearer the Medi-
terranean sea than the banks Of New
foundland or Iceland. The dwellers
in that part Of the world, however, eat
cod, sailed, and cooked in many and
varied forms. New England for many
years got its salt from Italy and paid
for it with Goldfish, sometimes with
Old Medford rum. Those days are
past. The French explorers who fol-
lowed close upon the heels of Column
bus discovered the virtues of New
foundland cod. Lately curing plants
have been established on the Mediter-
ranean shores of F,rance-to save one
handling since the Mediterranean
peoples eat so much of it, also because
the salt is conveniently dried out from
the very salty water of the Medi-
terranean.

A House Designed \
For Narrow Lot
The Sunroom and Garage
Add to Its Apparent Size.

This little house is another designed
to fit a 50-foot lot and include
garage. conveniently located under
the same roof.
BY introducing the garage under
the same roof as the house. the whole
structure looks more imposing and the
finer sweep of roof can he had. The
chief objection TO d narrow house
usually is that it Is too tall for its
bre adth. BY building out a sunroom
ana pushing out garage. this house
presents three fronts to the street,
greatly increasing it's apparent size.
Through this house has been design
ed to include the garage. because 1t is
such popular form Of construction
for suburban lots, still the garage
could he omitted. if desired. and the
house still be attractive However,
even II the owner does not now
possess car. garage should be
seriously considered in ones original
building plans for it is usually easy
to rent. and In case the owner should
ever desire to sell, a garage these
days makes house more quickly
salable.
The garage is separated from the
main body of the house by two doors,
one leading into an entry and the
other separating the hall and the
small entry. Thus, there is a double
check on odors of gasoline, which
might come into the house If door
opened directly between the two.
There is work bench directly
beneath the window and though the
expense is slightly more, it Is d great
convenience to include a water faucet
and floor drain for washing the car
indoors
BY planting some such vine as wis
tcria. trumpet creeper or elm bling
rose over the entrance of the garage,
the whole appearance OF the front of
the house would be improved.
From the small porch one steps
directly into the hall. at the left of
which is a large living room. Just
off the living room Is sun room,
which could be filed with plants or
hung with bright draperies and would
prove to be one OF the most attractive
rooms in the house. The living room
is lighted by a fine group of windows,
50 that an abundance of light is as
sured even in cloudy weather. At one
end of the room. opposite the sun
room, is a fireplace, with space on
either side for book shelves. If one
chose a door might be cut through
from the living room to the porch
where the window now is suggested
and in this way one could enter
directly from the porch.
The dining room is at the end Of
the hall and is separated from the
kitchen by a large pantry amply sup
piled with shelves. There is a special
dresser also for the dishes used in the
dining room. This arrangement saves
the building of dish closet in the
dining room. The kitchen Is we'll
lighted and supplied with dressers for
kitchen utensils. The range is placed
near the window, so full light can be
| had for the cooking. There are two
closets for coats in the small passage
way between the hall and the kitchen.
The icebox is kept in the pantry
beneath the shelves. There is sery-
