sturdy, of good materials and well
worth turning into modern homes.
The smaller illustration shows the
average building of this type and
its room arrangement. 1t will be
seen that the lines are straight and
thus severe and lacking in attrac-
tiveness. What can be done with
the expenditure of some 5000 or
$500 is shown in the larger illus
tration.
The entrance porch has been en-
larged and beautifed by the adj
dition of colonnade pillars and rail.
A porch the length of the house
has been added at one side, and a
double dormer set into the roof.
Two of the side windows have been
retained and the third window tur-

rHE roof is adding its quota of
brightness and gay charm to
the landscape, in this age which
is so colorful, both literally and
metaphorically speaking. No mat
ter how denaure a color-scheme is
chosen for the house, itself, the roof
may blossom forth like rose or
a bluebell on quiet Quaker bon
net.
For the new house the painted or
stained shingles are best. These
are colored before being put on,
and may be had in variety of
tones. Some of the very newest
roofs have shingles var;egated in
color. That is, shades of green and
blue, soft browns and dull purple
will overlap and seem to blend in
to each other, with charming effect.
Such an arrangement is especially
good on a house that is painted
cream or white, The grey house
needs "a brighter touch of color on
the roof, to relieve its drabness. A
certain shade Of light red is par
ticularly effective on the house that
is painted in a neutral shade So,
also, is a rather bright green roof.

pergola style,
The rooms on the first floor have
been left practically as they were.
On the second floor, however,
bathroom has been added in the
dormer projection, and the bed
rooms made larger.
When the house has been painted
in some attractive color-scheme,
such as white with green trim
rnings, cream with brown or green,
or green with white, it will be hard
to recognize the transformed home
secured at a moderate outlay of
money-as the original, plain cot
tage. With the interior, likewise,
renovated and beautifed with paint,
the house will possess an unde-
riable charm and lure to the home
lover.

TH HE homes of our fathers-the
dear old homes hallowed by the
loves and hopes, the joys and
sorrows of several generations of
our own blood-have for us an at
tachment comparable to nothing
else in our lives.
Yet it is not for sentimental rea-
sons, alone, that we are inclined
TO hold on to these venerable treas
ures. There is a practical side, also,
to our delight in their possession.
From the standpoint of construc-
ton, these old homes are usually
better than most of the houses built
In recent years, and for that reason

New York, Sept. 2A - One can face the cold winter. or the thoughts of the cold winter, with much more poise and calmness of spirit if one has. or has the immediate prospect of having, a fur coat.
 It has heon proved again and again that cloth coats h" lined and interlined to the point of providing greater resistance, against the cold than fur.
 It has been pointed out again and again that 1t takes lot ot email fur bearing animals to keep the fur in dustry going, and that the methods of trapping are none too humane or pleasant to think about.
 But the fur coat remians the piec" de resistance of the winter wardrobe. Like the diamond bracelet or the eX- tremely becoming hat, il is moral

Paris. Sept. ?9 Pl-The highest prices ever paid for grapes from the famous Kings Vine' at Fontaln- bleau were realized at the annual sale, when q sum nearly double that of 1924 was taken in.
 The 1925 production. which vas of good average quality brought L. 100 francs for SG lots of cj pounds each, as against 90o francs in 1924.
 The grapes come from the cele- brated vine planted by King Henry " in the 18th century. With the care given it by l,ouis XIV and de- spite Napoleon's indifference, it is now considered the finest specimen of it's kind in Europe.
 It has a. counterpart in Hampton Court, England. which produced this year 600 punches of grapes.
