$sr BUNGALOW OF RED BRICK. N ' UT a city or suburban I 'it but would t decorated wisely anil wall by (hla unliu atory and a, half red brtik bungalow. Al though It contain nominally only five rooma, both the exterior and tha In ferior give oria tha lrnprlon of that of a largar nous. An experienced bricklayer ran dn much toward adding distinction to tha a i tar lor by carefully adopting hla brick ao that thoao of darker shades will b raaerved to outllna tha entrance arch and over tha windows. Tha allla, too, might wall bo of thla aame color and thu aland out In greater contrast agalnat tha lighter colored background of tha wail. Tou have already noticed tha tin tiaual entrance feature. The wood tiench on each aide Just Insldo the archway la truly Inviting a good place to do the mending- or from which to watch tha youngsters at play; likewise, Just the epot where daddy can alt and moke bla Jimmy pipe or evening cigar. Agalnat the red brick walla, a green roof covering affords pleasing con treat The shlnglra ran be of real elate or aaheatoa or other compoattlon colored a dark green. The generoua pilch of tha roof Itself aaaurea free dom from those annoying repalra to which flat roofs are most commonly helra to. bo much can be dune with even the mall ground on which the dwelling la built to feet by 100 feet if the arrangement has been thought out be fore building the garage or maybe lt'a a chicken house that's nearest your heart. . ' No matter whether your garage la reached from the front by way of a drive alongside the house, or If it abuta on a rear passage or an alley separat ing the property from that beyond, the garage ahould be placed at the corner of the lot In preference to the middle. The corner thoaen ahould be that one where tha garage or chicken house will throw the least shadow on the part of the yard which la to be planted. Therefore, beforo starting haphazard planting of ahrulihery and the digging tip of the vegetable garden, think well ao that your gardim la given the must light. Thus, on a lot which faces east, the garage ahould be built on the northwest corner. For tho lot which face west, the garugo should be on the northeast corner, etc. Placing the garage In the corner of the narrow lot Is advantageous In that not only will tha driveway from the front be atralght, and hence its con struction economical of material and Mary Lou, an only-child, was delight d when she heard her aunt Emily and four children were to visit at her house, and when they arrived she :5 clapped bur hands and said: ' O, aun tie, I'm ao glad you got a lot of fam bly."

A narrow atrip of cement walk from which to hang the clot he will be ap preciated by the servantlcaa house wife. Coming toward the house, a simple and inexpensive vineclad pergola built just this side of the vegetable garden haa great artistic merit and will provide the tt!hetic feature to hldo the com monplace vegetable garden and family wash from view. A aundiul or bird bath and garden reat of concrete are Inexpensive decorations worth many times their intrinsic value In beautify ing the lawn between the pergola and the house Itself. A little concrete lily pond, of course, adda distinction to auch a acheme. fclow for the houae Itself. The fire place la real a place to take the chill out of tha rooms In early fall and late apring, and a source of great satis faction at all times. The davenport in front of It can he swung around agalnat the wall to make a bed for the weekend visitor. The breakfast alcove in the kitchen will be appreciated by the housewife In the small family, aa the dining ta ble need not be aet except on occa sions. The old fitshloned, hard-to-tldy pan try Is eliminated In this plan and in place of it we have built-in pantry cases. Running down to the bam' me nt we find a laundry, well lighted fruit stor age room, and the furnace and coal rooms. Each of the latter are closed In with masonry walls to the celling, and danger of the spread of fire Is further guarded against by using metal lath and plaster ceilings to protect the underside of the first floor Joists. Two bedrooms, averaging 12 by 15 feet, and the bathroom ore snuggled under the roof without crowding. With masonry walla and durable shingles, about the only features which should entail upkoep expense are the plumbing and plastering. Open plumbing is now the rule in all well orderod houses. Nickeled pipe Several children were playing in our back yard, among them a small lad by the name of Hobby. Hobby's mother had called him sev eral times without any response. Finally, after about five minutes, she called, " Robert." Bobby Immediately dropped hla toys and ran. I asked him what the trouble was. He answered, " Her called ma Hubert. I must go, for her Is mad." Mna. G.

Wood In partition tends to shrink, and ordinary lath absorb moisture. Moth of these factora tend to cause plaster cracks, a source of much an noyance and expense. Wooden par titions will alwaya remain as an Im portant and economical form of con struction and ao are recommended, but In place of ordinary lath, metal lath appears to be ftyidlng much favor among architects, as its steel mesh acts aa a base through which the wet plas ter finds Its way, imbedding the steel strands, And, hardening there, rein forces the whole surface against cracks.

When Herbert and Fenton came strolling in a half hour after dinner was over their father decreed they should each have' a sandwich and a glass of water and bo put straight to bed, a just punishment for bad boys.

Taking an old book In my poawaalon with the title " Thnrapeutlc Handbook of the United States 1'hsrmacopoeia." by Pr, Robert E. Kdcs of Harvard uni versity, fellow of vsrlous aclentlflc so cieties and poaaessed of many honors, I went through It the other day and made an enormously long list of ordi nary cook book items given a place for their medicinal value and physi ologic and toxic action. Thla book wj originally acquired becaure of the light It threw on many- common food. We might begin with common salt, ao indispensable to the cook, and find It baa an exceedingly extended list of medicinal uses. Lemofis, oranges, and particularly their pool, all the spicea and condiraenta, -coffee, herbs, barka, augar, honey, olive oil, berries, and auch fruita as prunes and figs, lertJpe clal. And a place In the pharmacopoeia, as well aa In the cook book. Plain suet has been used in dressing ulcers, but the doctor depended upon the housewife to render It, and the mutton fat and lard for unguenta aa well. In making her quince Jelly the old fashioned housewife saved her quince eed for medicinal uko, aince all the mucilaginous fruits and vegeta bles, almost, seem to have had a well recognized place as remedial agents. A sort of mucilage made of quince seeds the housewlfo made it has been used "aa a aoothlng, bland external application In abrasions of the akin or (Insures of the mucous membrane; also Internally as a soothing application to the throat and bowels." The cores of the quince with the seeds are cooked in making certain quince conserves. Hgn. With our increased use of all aorta of cooking flgs, which are much less expensive and may be almost or quite as palatable as, and on the whole more sanitary than, some types of preserved figs, it is interesting to see how a doc tor has looked at them when making up a comprehensive book of remedies: "Figs contain more than half their weight of gtuecoiw), as well as gum and fat, and hence possess some nutritive value. They form an excellent laxa tive, if taken faating in the morning, and this action Is probably caused by irritation of the mucous membrane by the seeds and skins, They are apt to cause slight colicky pains and flatu lence." You can have thu smooth flaxseed laxative or th rough fig or bran, ac cording to your need, In tho pharma copoeia you will find nn extended list of laxatives, and the majority of them are arnooth. The mild cathurtlca get most frequent mention, and the prune prevents constipation, besides being mildly laxative. The doctor ay to Increase tholr efficiency by stewing them with senna, a laxative confection used for habitual constipation.
