The French provincial note persists
in interior decoration and is making
itself felt in architectural design as
well. The quaint. homelike atmos-
phere of the smaller French manor
houses makes a direct appeal to the
home-loving American.
Here is fireplace which one might
incorporate in the design of a very
simple house of the French provincial
type. 1t was sketched in an old Nor
mandy kitchen. In the original room
the side walls and chimney were of
brick and were kept meticulously
whitewashed. The mantel shelf, like
the other woodwork, was of oak. dark
ened and stained by time and use.
The kitchen floor was also of brick,
but in an American adaptation of this
room the floor might be covered with
red lnoleum in a small tile design
with much the same effect. and the
walls left plain white plaster.

The period between AZ and 4S is
sometimes called the August of life
a period of great mental and physi-
cal vigor. The mental faculties are
especially alert and the happiest
women of this age are those who are
occupied with some absorbing in

families, their work, their profess

sonal considerations seldom bring
content.
Julia Ward Howe was AZ when

she and her husband and a few
others drove out to review some
troops not far from Washington.
They heard some foot soldiers sing
ing John Browns Body Lies Arnold

men in her party suggested to Mrs.
Howe, who was something of a poet.
that she ought to write some new
words to the tune, which seemed
so well liked by the soldiers.
That night she passed at hotel in
Washington and slept as usual. but
awoke the next morning to find to
her astonishment that the wished

in her brain. Il searched for a sheet
