~ LID houses frequently have to
be remodeled to meet the
necessities of the families OF
~ resident owners. Sometimes
alterations are made which
are not necessary, but come under the
heading of improvements. Untortu-
nately many of these changes are lar
from improvements, adding lncon-
gruous features of modern style en-
tirely at variance with the architec-
ture of the dwelling which belongs to
another period. II is only when the
remodeling and additions conform to
the style of the house that they can
come under the heading of improve
mentS, as far as the architecture Is
concerned.
Those who are SO fortunate as to
own homes which can rightfully be
called old here in the United States
or Canada should be very careful, when
contemplating improvement OF the
property, to see that this Is what they
are doing Otherwise they probably
will ruin whatever architectural beauty
the house has.
The fact that a house is so plain
and simply built that it appears to
have little or no architectural signifi-
cance does not bar it from an old
time charm There are such houses
of settler days which remain and these
are as difficult to remodel as any kind,
for any change makes marked dill
ference.
Dormer windows can be put into the
roof to make rooms larger on the sec
ond floor in houses where the roof
slants in these rooms. These windows
are sometimes found in very Old
houses, so they are not out OF keeping.
Sometimes the entire roof is raised on
each side enough to permit an even
space the height of dormers, without
altering the height of the ridgepole.
This is not the way old houses were
built. so it is regrettable when it has
to be done, although it does offer
common solution. The dormer Win
dows, however, are preferable, even
when three are put into each roof
side. These are decorative. especially
when Joined by low railing along the
roof between the windows.
For more rooms on the ground moor
an ell offers a solution in keeping with
old types of houses. Such an addition
can be two stories high when the main
part of the house permits such height.
One of the regrettable improvements.

true, perhaps, that one sees more
of the four-footed and furry BROTH
er than at any other time. There
are the tell-tale tracks across the
snow and there is the white carpet
itself. across which the little wild
creatures run, their dark coats, SO well
adapted to concealment at other sea-
sons, sharply contrasted, making them
conspicuous and even easy to photo-
graph.
TO meet these dangers some OF our
wild animals in the North actually
change their coats. The weasel puts on
a white coat, as fine as ermlne to an
appearances, and hence he may with
impunity approach the farmers chicken
yard in broad dalgiht on Winter day
without fear of detection.
In this climate the weasel does not
change his coat, for he has no need.
The SHOWS are Of such short duration
that it would be a positive disadvantage
for him to do so. And in general. 1t
always seems to me that one sees more
of our wild animals around the District
in Autumn The leaves are fallen from
much of the underbruSh, and all the
little secret highways OF their tramc
and their little businesses are discovered
to the eye of any one who walks the
woods in Autumn.
There is another reason why we see
so much of mammalian life in Autumn.
Even aside from the fact that our
small brothers are extraordinarily busy
now, laying in supplies Cat least the
vegetarian ones are), there is the matter
of vital statistics in the annual popu-
lation. The youngsters bred this sea-
son are now full grown, with big appe-
tites. and are fearless, because hard eX-
perience has not yet taught them eau
ton. Winter has not yet begun It's
cruel but necessary task OF declmatlng
the teeming fertility of animal life.
Cottontail rabbits seem to leap out
Of every bush. Gray squirrels, red and
fox squirrels bound, In the crisp air,
from every bough. The hunter sees
something to blaze away at. scattering
death in the trees and bushes at every
step! And especially every sort OF rodent,
the little shrews that are mistaken Tor
mice by the average person. and the
wood rats on the cliffs of the west side
of the Potomac. where the richest 1or.
ests of the District rain down the last
of their glory, are now abundant. The
pine mice and meadow mice actually
venture into the suburbs and even the
city, while the house mice at this time
of the year exchange the perils OF traps
and cat for those Of hawk and fox and
go cleaning through the stubble fields
for bits of ungarnered grain, for be-
numbed grasshoppers, belated and un-
wary crickets. The whole mammalian
population, to speak in terms of human
economics, is living upon the blue-sky
promises, the imitation conditions OF q

tubers. seeds and insects paralyzed by

my glove She corrected me for saying
that. Was wrong? And was she
wrong for correcting me like this?"
Answer.-A woman never apologies
for keeping on her glove to shake hands,
any more than she would apologize for
not taking of her hat to bow. Both
would be absurd things to do. # your

To whiten wood floors add two

To keep celery crisp, thoroughly

STOCKS ARE FIRM

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK. July 11.-A brief period

stock market was soon overcome and
| succeeded by rally which left prices
! substantially higher at the close.
The recovery was led by the specula-

! 10 points.
For reasons best known to themselves
shorts were leisurely taking in contracts
all day. The covering had the least

signing of the agreement between Ger

be claimed that the indifference dis
played by stocks had forecast just this
development However that may be,
the foreign news and its Washington
reactions were against the stock mar

On the other hand, a decidedly favor
able impression was made by the con-

generally and the advances in a few
specific commodities. There was no en-
couragement from industrial sources.
The result in the early trading was
