BY THOMAS HASTINGS.

There are certain first principles so
evident when one builds a house
would hesitate enumerating them were
1t not that I see them so frequently
neglected in the small country and sub
urban houses.
Why is it that the old Colonial
house and almost all old houses are so
attractive, and why is it so difficult
for either owner or architect to match
the charm and atmosphere of some of
the simplest examples? UnqueStion-
ably, the best have survived because
they have been cared for through sew
eral generations.
They are good also because they
were built at time when there was a
real respect for tradition, when people
were more resigned to accept certain
simple principles Of good taste which
they had inherited and which were
dealt out to them by architects or
builders guided by certain very simple
and primitive hand books on "how to
build" which were in general circula-
ton.
man building a house should first
select his architect and this should be
done when possible before he selects
his building site, because certain sites
are suggestive while others are forbid
ding to the architect.
After the site has been chosen, there
are almost sure to be certain physical
conditions, such as grades. views. or
neighboring houses which will suggest
design and then in turn when the
house is built it should suggest a GER
tain treatment of the grounds which
will make a happy marriage between
the house and its environment.
A man building a small house gen.
orally requires two stories and an attic.
in which event 1t is most important to
make one of the two dimensions in plan
dominate. Otherwise, three equal di-
mansions would be obtained, forming a
cube which is hopeless from an archi-
tectural viewpoint. In almost any COM
position of three parts. one of these
should dominate; incidentally, by so
doing, the direction of the roof is not
left indefinite as one would naturally
make the roof run lengthwise with the
house.
Generally gable end is best because
it best accentuates this difference in the
three dimensions. AS matter of detail,
avoid too much projection to the caves,
an ugly and unreasonable expense. Too
much piazza room and covered areas
shut out the light and are useless and
expensive.
Thousands of houses have been built
with endless and useless piazzaS and
more cellar space than needed-theSe
two savings alone with simple exterior
treatment would have made it possible
to build with permanent materials, such
as brick or stone, a real house instead
of a wooden house, which always seems
temporary and in the end costly because
of upkeep.
Again for economy and in order 70
obtain permanency, accentuate some
one feature such as the main entrance
keeping the rest very simple in contrast
This certainly will be more interesting
than an all-over treatment of meaning
less decoration. Four brick walls, posi-
bly, painted white, with well proportional
windows properly distributed are in fact

a small portion Of the total cost of a
modern house, when one considers the
kind of heating, lighting and plumbing
required.
Another most important consideration
is the proper placing of the house on
the site, especially when the site is
small. It is almost always mistake to
place it in the center of the lot, leaving
mere fringe of ground around the
house for treatment. Either one side
or the front or even the back of the
lot offers a far better solution of the
problem. If in the back of the lot, an
interesting garden approach might be
obtained or If in the front, the service
might be placed on the street and great
seclusion obtained back of the house.
ANY house SO placed, built in per-
manent materials, lends itself to the
planting of vines and trees and a general
treatment of the grounds without too
much architecture. An attractive plan
of the grounds with good planting helps
largely to make the architecture a
success.
The planting may be small to begin
with, without immediate effect, but

TWO LOSE LIVES
IN 100000 FIRE
Blaze in New York Apartment
Hotel Is Followed by I'm
explained Explosion.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 4-Fire De-
partment officials today sought the
cause of an explosion and fire which
cost two lives and did damage estimated
at 100000 in the Hotel Marguery, a
Park avenue apartment hotel.
Mrs. Louis Lichtenstein, so years old
who had been attending her husband
I'll in bed. in their eleventh-floor apart
ment, collapsed and died after she and
her husband reached the street.
william Cass. so years old, an ele-
vator operator. was found dead in his
elevator car between the third and
death by the flames which shot up the
elevator shaft after failure of the power
stalled his car.
The Hotel Marguery occupies the
block between Forty-seventh and Forty
eighth streets and extends from Madi-
son avenue to Park avenue. Its tenants
and guests include many persons promi-
nent in society.
The fire was discovered at 9 O'Clock
last night in the subbasement of the
Madison avenue side. Soon after the
first fire companies arrived there was
an explosion which shook the building
and shattered several windows.
Light and power service failed and
the guests, warned by servants and en-
ployes of the hotel, were obliged to
grope their way down dark stairways to
the street. Many left the building in
night attire and all left valuable and
other personal belongings behind.
A fire chief and 30 men were bowled
over by the force Of the blast when the
explosion occurred. Eight firemen were
overcome by smoke. All were given
medical aid on the scene and remained
on duty.
The flames attracted thousands oil
spectators, who were kept at distance
by fire lines. After the fire had been
extinguished a police guard was posted
in the building to protect valuables left
by tenants who sought shelter for the
night in nearby hotels.
The damage was confined chiefly tt
furniture and other property stored ir
the Subbasement.

AUSTRIA IMPORTS HAIR,
TEETH AND DRIED BUGS

VIENNA (P1.-Two tons of human
hair formed one of the items among
the imports into Austria in the last
fiscal year. Much unsatisfactory curl
osity has been reused as to what it
could be used for in these days of close
crops.
Another item was artificial teeth. of
which almost exactly the same weight
came from abroad. Dentistry has reach
ed high state of development here,
so no surprise is caused by this quantity.
Nearly 500 pounds of dried insects
came in for museums. Womens FASH
ions were responsible for the arrival of
20 tons of crocodile, seal, elephant, hip
popotamus, lizard and sharkskins for
shoes

The British of Canada.

Canada has come in for more than
her fair share of criticism on the
ground that slowly but surely she is
permitting foreign immigrants to swamp
the British-born population, particu-
larry in the western cities. A return
which has been submitted to the
Canadian Parliament makes, therefore,
significant reading. It shows that in
Winnipeg only 37,181 of the population
Of 191 1896 were born in foreign coun-
tries. The same ratio holds good in
other Canadian cities.

HOME ECONOMICS
MOVE AID SOUGHT
Conference Makes Plans to
Enlist Mothers in Work
of Federation.

The problem of the non-co-operation
Of mothers throughout the country with
governmental and philanthropic agen-
cies working for the promotion of home
economics was discussed yesterday at a
conference called by the General Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs.
Attending the conference were repre-
SentativeS of the various Federal bu-
reauS in the home economic field and
other national organizations engaged
in this work.
The conference is a result of recent
survey made under the direction OF
Mrs. j. E. Gawlor of Yakima, Wash,
chairman of division of home economies
of the General Federation of Womens
Clubs.
Apathy is Found.
The principal fact brought out by
this study was that the Nation wide
home economics program is not func-
t1oning. Not enough girls are partici-
patlng, 1t is said, and this is attributed
directly to the lack of interest among
the mothers.
Plans were begun to enlist the aid of
mothers in the work. The delegates to
the conference will meet again next
week after spending the intervening time
in research and consideration of the
problem.

Now Tom Sanver adored hiI
daughter, and his fidelity to the
memory of his wife was as vel
known as his fortune. Nevertheless
when a pretty widow-or even a
debutante-set her cap for him, he
got a certain amount of thrill.
He didn't mind u mild Irritation,
and a man feels trifle absurd if
his married daughter is looking on
while he is engaged with a pretty
woman. So while he was solicitous
he nevertheless acceded instantly to
her request.
The Ordeleys were enjoying them
selves, so they stayed on. Lucia
tried to pin Cythia down to def
mite appointment for luncheon
and bridge, but was content with an
evaSive answer.
And all the time that she spoke
to her father and the Ordeleys, Gym
thia was conscious Of the leering
eyes of Bennie Thompson. Though
she tried to avoid looking his way,
she could not keep from furtive
glances at him.
She realized that each time she
turned her head in his direction it
was another admission that he was
right in his identification of her.
But that didn't matter. He was
certain, anyway. and added GER
tainty made him no more danger
Gus.
CHE was still fearful that he
- would accost her as they
descended broad stairway to the
street level. She was in an agony
of apprehension while she waited
the necessary minute that it re-
quires for Dean to repoSSeSS HIM
self of the hat and coat which he
had checked on their arrival.
Only when they were inside the
automobile. and the machine had
started, did she feel easier. Post
ponement of danger was not like
averting it entirely, but it afforded
her breathing spell.
Dean, save for an inquiry,
anxiouSly phrased, was silent during
the short ride home. Afraid of any
conversation with him, she threw
a good night at him as a servant
took his coat and hat, and ran up
stairs to her room.
She dismissed Mary at once, stat
ing that she would look after her
self. and fully clothed, threw her
self upon the bed.
This afternoon, taken off guard,
she had outwitted Bennie Thomp-
son. But tonight one incautiouS
upward glance had betrayed her.
She had fed from the Venetia in
fear lest he denounce her. Now
she wished that she had remained
there, Drawing the worst that the
chorus man could do.
After all, what could he do?
Suppose he had denounced her?
She tried to visualize the scene as
it might have happened.
The Sleek-haired chorus man
would have come to their table. He
would have stated that she was not
Eleanor Sanver Carey. but was
Cynthia Brown. chorus girl from

How would she have acted? OBJ
