AWNINGS
COLOR N0TET0
SUMMER HOME
April Ladies' Home Journal
Describes House of
Harrington.

Looking over toward the other
side OF the drawing room and toward
the window grouping. the rich tones
OF the awnings pervade the whole
room with peacock blue and amber
light, as the sun filters through the
awning stripes OF these colors."
So a writer in the April Ladies
Home Journal describes a charming
view in "Kennebunkport," home of
Booth Harrington. and offers a sug-
gestion to many home-owners who
wish to add a touch of beauty to
their summer residence, whether 1t
be on the seacoast or here N In
dianapolis.
For whatever the size and color
ing of the house, awnings will give
to it an added charm. They are.
ornamentally speaking. as necessary
to the beauty of the windows in the
home as eyelashes are to the win
dows in the face. AS the writer who
describes Tarkington's home says
they "pervade the whole room with
peacock blue and amber light, as the
sun filters through the awning
stripes of these colors."
This blue and gold combination,
according to George w. Griffin. OF
the Advance Tent & Awning Com
pany, 3l5 Adelaide ST.. Is one OF the
most popular awnings sold by the
company and may be seen on many
Indianapolis homes. Blue and
orange, and green and orange also
furnish brilliant touch Of color
to any building. but particularly to
those with white and cream-tinted
walls or walls OF buff-toned brick.
Aside from the beauty added to
both the interior and the exterior
Of the house. awnings are a real
economy in the protection they af-
ford to delicately colored rugs and
draperies. They soften and mellow
the light without shutting out the
welcome summer breezes. and
home-owners who appreciate this are
placing orders with the Advance
Tent & Awning Company now in
order to insure delivery before the
hot days of summer.

An attractive and interestingly

verted into a duplex dwelling, is
nearing completion at 326 Buck

but its design might serve equally
well for any family where separate
apartments are desired for two
families sharing the same roof.

BRIDGES-GRAVES.
Danish WASTE
SPACE In HOME
Company Has Eight Houses
Under Construction Near
Pleasant Run.

Efficiency experts have been work
ing for years to eliminate waste
space and waste motion in indus
trial plants, but 1t is only recently
that builders have learned to do
away with the little-used parts OF
house. as Bridges & Graves, build
ers. 237 n. Delaware St., have done
in the attractive bungalows they
are completing at Troy Ave. and
Pleasant Run Blvd.
There are eight of these home-like
dwelling in various stages OF con
struction, some OF them almost
ready to move into, others awaiting
the buyers choice Of paint, paper
and lighting fixtures.
The new houses, which fill practi-
cally the entire block that termi'
mates in the tree-bordered boulevard
along Pleasant Run Creek. are with
in less than two blocks Of both the
school and the car line. and only two
miles south Of Washington st. Each
house has roomy garage for the
family car and Madison Ave. and
the boulevard lead directly to the
Bridges & Graves bungalows.
But the desirable location is only
one of the features to recommend
these houses. Their best point Is
the elimination Of that little used
room, the dining room. and the sub
stitution OF an attractive breakfast
nook opening from the kitchen. TO
some this might seem a radical
change. but when one considers how
seldom the dining room is used In
homes where the size Of the family
permits the use Of an attractive
breakfast suite. II will be realized
that such an arrangement means not
only a saving Of labor, but an
economy Of space.
The space thus saved in these
bungalows built by Bridges and
Graves is used for an extra bedroom,
so that each house has two bed
rooms OF more than ordinary size
with a connecting bath between. The
bedrooms are placed at the corners
OF the house. giving each the ad'
vantage OF windows on two sides.

Fuzzy Wuzzies broke the British

less of death, charged an angle OF the
square in the face of what seemed
an annihilating fire. They threw them
selves on the bayonets, and used their
spears in the death agony before the
bayonets could be withdrawn. They
came over the bodies of their own
dead, and crawling on hands and

gade gave way in confusion. and its
guns were captured. The other bril-
gades closed in, the guns were re-
taken, and the FuZZies were chased
far past the scene of this momentary
triumph, but they had 'crumpled up
the square," and the exploit caught
the British imagination and put Fuzzy
Wuzzy into English literature. The
Fuzzies themselves belonged to the
Hadendowa tribe and were command

of the sky as when he had gone to
sleep.
For few moments the memory of
that grotesque struggle seemed like
something that he had read in book.
Then, bit by bit. 1t began to become
a part of memory's records.
But it was not until, looking up,
he saw the entrance to the tunnel
plainly visible in the cliff overhead,
that he realized the whole episode
had not been a disordered dream. born
of his frantic. futile struggles.
And even then Lee could not con-
vince himself until he had gone back
to Pelly's skeleton and ascertained
that it was really there, and looked
at the initials on the butt Of the re-
volver. and stood beside the little
grave.
Then, very painfully, for his hands
were skinned and raw, Lee clambered
up the cliff and made his way through
the tunnel. He. did not think he would
ever want to visit Pelly's gold mine
again.
He had suspected all the while that
the mine was a myth, and even now
he was not convinced that there was
gold in it.
But Joy was in his heart, Joy over
flowing, for all his troubles were at
an end. He was going to Joyce, to
make her his wife, to take her away.
And his heart thumped at the antic-
ipation of that incredible dream, and
he trod the trail toward the log house
like a boy. He broke his long fast
with a moderate meal and started
for the mission. AS he went up the
ascent a mob of half-breed and In
dian children came pouring out of the
schoolhouse. And there in the en-
trance Joyce was standing, watching
them-and him, approaching.
She looked up at him gravely as he
drew near. and she knew at once from
the look on his face enough to make
the breaking of the news less of a
shock to her. But the tears rolled
down her cheeks as he told her of her
fathers death.
