There are two distinct kinds of
halls. each with numerous variations.
that should be considered when one
is planning a home. These are the
formal hall with rooms opening off,
and the reception hall, which is a
room in itself Certain types of
architecture call for one or the other
kind of hall, and in between these
there are many houses which may
have either hall. according to the
fancy of the one who is to occupy
the place.
The points we shall consider are
those of the homemaker rather than
the architect, but they are well worth
pondering over and definitely decid-
ing upon before the architect draw s
the plans. Or, if the house is to be
built from plans already made, and
which can be had from some paper
or book devoted to housebuilding, do
not forget to give the entrance hall
or room its due share of attention.
Formal Halls.
Each type of hall has it's distinct
individuality, its advantages and its
disadvantages. If a house is spacious,
the formal hall is necessary, though
il may be so large and so attractively
furnished that it is somewhat akin to
n reception room. The difere1<ee is
that 1t has the elements that als, dis
tinguishing features of what we are
terIning formal halls-that is, the hall
is glorified passageway from the
front door TO the rear of the house,
and from ii are doorways leading into
rooms. The staircase is a decidedly
decorative element. If this type of
hall is in a small home, the charac-
teristics are Identical though the
proportions are not. Before going to
the second type of halls, let Us see
what are the desirable and undesir-
able points about the formal hall.
The possibility of privacy in the
home is increased when the house has
= formal hall. No one may enter into
the domain of the family unless

the ordinary breakfast nook table
has only one end that can be used.
In the kitchen where this sketch
was made the walls and woodwork
were enameled in buff, the floor had a
black and white linoleum covering,
the kitchen equipment was pure
white, and the breakfast table, bench
and seat were painted dull sage
green with decorations of flower
motifs in rose and blue.
Curtains of fine, rose-colored cham
bray at the windows were banded

HOW 1T STARTED
Sinister" 4"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Our understanding of the word
sinister is something wrong, dis
honest, corrupt, something in which
turks harm or evil, as a sinister omen
or a sinister face.
The literal meaning of the word,
however. is simply left its original
Significance merely something that
appeared or was done on the left.
We have it from the Latin sinister"
which is the opposite to dexter or
right" And just as the word dexter
Gus, meaning skillful, was original
applied simply to something done
with the right hand, so sinister" de-
riveS its unpleasant significance from
the circumstance that from ancient
times the left side has been regarded
as unlucky.
So in modern words we constantly
find concealed ancient beliefs and su-
perstitions and bits of history-en-
folded in a syllable or a name.

Gasoline Tax Nets
S196,OOO for July

The tax on gasoline sold in Maine
during the month of July netted
l96,23S.35, according to figures
compiled at the office of State Audi
tor Hayford. The. August figures are
not. as yet, available. This is the
July tax from all sources. 1t will
be recalled that from July 1 to 10
the tax was one cent a gallon on
gasoline. From the 18th on, the
tax, according to a new law, was
raised to two cents. The amount was
collected from Al distributors. And
there has been returned. just recent
~, to people who purchased for mo-
tor boats, an exemption. the sum of
$1,000.
The rebates will doubtless run
into $4,000 a month. The tax will
not amount to SO much in the win
ter and the drop is noticed begin
nlng the first Of October. During
January and February the tax on
gasoline Is small, sometimes not
more than $1,000 or $4,000 monthly.
The expansion is noted in April and
sometimes as early as in March. ac
cording to the season.

there are times when they reveal
this neutrality-suspicious. Of charac-

more Independent, more sturdy. Then
comes an illness or some development
and the more timid, gentle twin

There is not community in North

Evelyn and Ethel Wickman, twins,
of Chicago, were once identical IN
appearance. but look at them now!
The picture of the babies is this
remarkable pair of twins at three
months. Then they appear at 26
years. As children their parents
could not tell them apart but when
they reached II years Ethel con-
tinued to grow normally and Evelyn
just stood still. Now, with Ethel a
woman normal in height and weight,
Evelyn is but four feet four inches
tall and weighs 6s pounds. Physicians
are at a loss to account for the Diff
ference.
While this pair of twins is an un-
usual example, the development of
twins physically and mentally is
one of the strangest and most un-
accountable things in the world.
Famous physicians and psychologists
the world over have tried to account
for the curious factors that enter
the lives of children born together.
Some twins look exactly alike at
birth and the resemblance is main
tanned throughout life. Some twins
look alike in childhood and, because
of different environments, change in
after life. Some twins are as un-
like as any two unrelated children
and are different in almost every
physical and mental characteristic.
But the experts who have made
life study Of twins say that there is
no pair of children born together
who have not some traits in common
usually physical, that undeniably
identify them as twins. In the case
of Ethel and Evelyn Wickman, if you
will examining them closely, it will be
seen that they have the same mouth,
the same nose, the same broad fore
head. The faces must be studied,
but the likeness is unmistakable once
the observer looks closely.

not as like as two peas in pod,

"The system, while necessary
