A Swoop and . Jump By Thornton w. Burgess

 Old Mother Nature
 Blow. Merry Freezes. blow" might.'
 The Merry Little Freezes did blow. They blew with all their might. They blew so hard that Chatteren had to dig his claws into the log on which he was riding in order to hold on. Chatterer's tail was his sail.
 High in the sky back of Chat terer a speck was growing larger and larger. That speck was a per son. That person was Redtail the Hawk. Chatterer knew who it was. That was why he kept begging the Merry Little Freezes to blow hard. He knew how wonderful are the eyes of Redtail the Hawk. He didn't doubt that, as far away as Redtail was, he had already seen that little log with its lone passenger. So Chatterer's heart seemed to him to be right up in his throat. It seemed to be choking him. Yes, sir. that is the way it seemed to Chatterer. First he would look over at the shore: then he would look up at that growing speck. It seemed to him that Redtail was drawing near er great deal faster than the shore was. Once he was tempted to jump overheard and swim, but by this time the Merry Little Freezes were sending that old log along faster than Chatterer could swim. So he remained right where he was and kept his tail spread for a sail.
 Nearer drew the shore and near CT drew Redtail the Hawk. He was more than a speck now. He was very much more than q speck. Poor Chattereri 1t seemed to him that that little log didn't move at all. Actually, it was moving quite fast. Time and again Chatterer was tempted to make a run the length of the log, jump into the W-rr and swim. But very wisely he did not do this. He kept his place with his tail spread. And the Merry Little Brerzes blew and blew and blew. And the little log sailed and sailed and sailed. And Eedtail flew and flew and flew

New York, Aug. 16. - For some time leather furniture has been fig ured mostly in mems clubs, offices. and Tn d thoroughly masculine en- vironment, but the vogue for mod ern interiors is bringing it back to the homes.
 We find it now coming back for small chairs, boudoir benches, graceful armchairs and sofas, and even for table tops.
 A new note in home decoration is the use of leather upholstered chairs with glass topped tables And in some cases the table. too, is covered with leather to match the chairs, and the thick glass tops the whole. For the wood, such rare grains are employed as lemon or zebra wood, as well as native American woods of unusual and decorative grain.
 Many fin Colors
 The chairs are simple of line and may have the seats alone, or perhaps the entire solid seat and back in yellow, red, blue or some bright leather as well as the more conservative gray, beige or brown.
 The large leather upholstered chair has made no attempt to come back. It does not fit in the modern picture. In it's place are smartly designed armchairs. low slung for comfort. not too large to be suitable for small apart ments and small houses.
 These chairs may come in plain calfskin in neutral or bright shades, or in combinations of plain and grained calf. There are also some extremely beautiful chairs in brilliant red, green, or blue

morocco and others combining leo pard grain. snakeskin grain or galuchat grain calfskin and plain feathers.
 For practical purposes. suede is less often used than feathers of glazed or semi glazed finish, that do not soil so easily.
 small sofas with the propor- tions of the love seat, but moro modern in line. are upholstered in these same feathers. preferably in plain grains like smooth caltskin or English morocco. sometimes with cushions of grained L. ,ther in the same color. The large sofas of the Chesterfield type are usually in plain feathers. but in high col- OTIS like red. green or blue.
 Large Cushions
 In modern rooms. huge leather cushions are important accessor- ies. used on low couches without backs, or for hassoclSs and otto. mans. They are circular or square, sometimes in groups of thre, hinged so as to be used together or unfolded on the couch against tn wall.
 These large cushions are in calf- skin or suede. in brilliant coloro or in natural beige with appliquea of plain and reptile grain calfskin, in bright shades. They lend . great color interest to a comparas ! lively simple room.
 The modern note in furniture id now so insistent that the sxpsrts mental state is passed. Merely odd shapes, geometric angles and novelties are no longer interesting unless they definitely have decora- tive value.

FLOOR PLANS MEET
NEEDS OF FAMILY
Seven Rooms, Downstairs
Lavatory, Sleeping Porch
and Garage
BY L. PORTER MOORE,

President, Home owners Institute, Inc.
If you have pictured in your minds
eye home of true colonial pattern
which avoids severe lines, here is your
day dream come true. This design, by
Verne H. Sidnam, architectural designer
of Detroit, won second mention from
among 300 entered in the 1927 archi-
tectural competition conducted by
Pencil Points. 1t is offered as plan
No. 341-S, and contains $4,000 cubuc
feet.
There is real individuality in the
overhung second floor, providing dec
orative variation in the exterior wall
treatment. The smooth front of the
lower story contrasts pleasingly with
the clapboard above, while the recessed
entry strikes a note of hospitality.
With the lower front facade painted
white, lap siding and roof stained a
natural color and the sash painted blue
green, this house would have mel
lowed, lived-in appearance from the day
you occupied it. AS conditions or de-
sire dictates this color scheme could be
easily changed to one more pleasing, a
distinct advantage possessed by the all
wood house.
This house has been designed for a
family of father, mother and two chill
dren, a typical American family. To
meet the needs of such family it has
seven rooms, a downstairs lavatory, two
baths, sleeping porch and garage. The
house is to occupy an inside lot meas
uring so by $50 feet, facing street run
ming north and south.
Cost will probably fall between $13,-
900 and $4,000, as estimated from a
coast-to-coast study.
Floor plans also anticipate the needs
of the average family, each member
being considered. Living room is large,
with open fireplace; kitchen takes ad-
vantage of modern equipments in a
compact manner. Each bedroom has
good light and cross ventilation, with
abundant closet space.
