for his home, would transcend anyono's expecta

ture its charm. While much of- tho world is blink
ing In tho dreary days of Novomber, you will find
Mount Vernon, even in that Inauspicious tlmo of
year to bo abroad, still resplendent in the reflection
of brilliant autu..in foliage, and of gorgeous sunsota
over tho Potomac river.

O'Loughlln put on bis openwork

ors, cutters, buyers, city salesmen,
bushelmen, models, bosses, other
items of the tailoring industry buzzed
loudly on tho floor. "Now and then
some man would enter and bo greet

"That," said O'Loughlln's tailor and
.guide, "Is MoxSchloIncr, ho Is tho buy
or for Cllpporsteln & Monx."
Hours O'Loughlln sat thero. At last
ho was introduced as tho next speak
er. No one paid tho least attention to
him. Conversation rose toward tho
heights of emotion. After three falso
starts O'Loughlln sat down. He was
angry enough for arson. His tailor
saw tho black rago on his brow.
"Ladles and gentlemen," ho bel
lowed, whacking at tho table with
his gavel. -"You should llBten to

"That is all thero was in It"

"What elso I'd like to know?"
"A rip under tho sleeve, but ot

Although Montlcello, tho
colobratod homo of
Thomas Jefferson and
designed by himself, Is
not qulto so admlrablo
as tho homo of Washing
ton, It is still Infinitely
better than most of tho
houses of our own time,
and why? It Is because
tho modern architect of
America is pursued by
tho relentless hallucina
tion that ho is obliged to
invent an Amorlcan
otylo, as it Mount Ver
non and tho delightful
old farmhouse at Ridge
flold, Conn., wero not
typlc ally Amorlcan
onough to satisfy any
ono's fondost dreams.
Our historians do not
try to invent American history, and that Is what
architecture really is history expressed in build
ing. Our authors do not try to Invent a new Eng
lish grammar in ordor to express tho dramatic
note in American literature, and that, again, is
what architecture means tho dramatic noto ox
pressed by building materials. Nor do our artists
try to find now and artificial colors in nature.
Then why should tho American architect try to
mako his art unduly artificial?
So ho does, nevertheless, and hence the void en
countered In much of our modern architecture.
American Illustrators of books, who understand
their architectural details perfectly, never miss tho
dramatic note, becauso it Is the sine qua non of
tho illustrator's work. They know better than to
try to composo In "Now Art" or modern invention.
But people may yet live in houses which express
little of the history of
civilization, and suffer no
Inconvenience, ox c opt
perhaps, to their finer in
tellectual needs. Enfran
chised from every senti
mental claim claims of
those who love and those
who hate, allko thero is
a brilliant cotorlo ot ar
chitects of great inven
tive and constructive
genius, in America, who
even prefer to tho Anglo
Saxon sense of homo tho
"Now Art" and tho Ro

ho saw no household ser

raro In colonial tones, and
In a stato llko Virginia.
But servants aro almost a
prohtbltlvo luxury in tho
amall American cottago ot
today. Competent young
women command $40 per

says: "It might with rea

"My son was for years troubled with

said there was a defect In his eyes
which was hard to reach.

did, and finally quit it and began to

one seemed to exist. It may be that tho
tlon for this farmhouse was not derived from
Mount Vernon at all, but from somo mediocre farm
house of that decadent period in America inaugu
rated with President Jackson in 829 tho work of
Jacks-of-all-trades, which is in no senso a prototypo
of American renaissance, and ought not to be per
petuated. The colonial carpenters, who often
worked without a master spirit, possessed a fair
knowledge of the orders, though Thomas Jefferson
said thero was none who could draw them accu
rately. Architects affect one another. Interchange ot
views makes for a consensus ot opinion, and Just
at present there is great partiality for tho long,
low, horizontal line, the Spanish root and the
ubiquitous pergola effect, with unduly lofty win
dows upon tho first floor and unduly short ones on
tho second. But In spite of theso professional
fetishes, Mr. Aymar Embury succeeds In produc
ing a beautiful architectural composition (see
rlvor elevation of tho house at Bedford Hills, Now
York). American architects will glvo you, how
ever. If you prefer it, snug home ntmoBphore, as
exemplified by tho cottago at Bronxville, New York,
designed by Mr. William A. Bates. So much for
tho architectural integument; but when it comes
to tho question of animal comfort, the scientific
and hygienic achievement, the economy of spaco
and of tfmo, and tho elimination of labor in tho
household, then, indeed, tho American architect
becomes an infalllblo counsellor for tho prospec
tive homo-builder. No American cottage, however
humblo, is considered qulto a hygienic proposition
for all-tho-year-round occupancy without a good,
dry cellar, at least seven feet In tho clear, and with
a lath and plaster celling. Somo product of tar Is
usually employed for coating tho exterior of tho
wall beneath tho ground level. An adequato un
derground drain, constructed either of pipes or
broken stone, leading to some natural watercourse
or low land away from the building. Is always pro
vided, if it is poBplble. In tho mlddlo of tho collar
is placed tho heating apparatus, whether for warm
air, steam, hot water or tho vacuum system, from
prophets it was
abused. Malachl's
words might apply (Uy
to our own day:
"Bocaueo tho Lord
hath been witness
between thoo and
tho wife of thy
youth, against
whom thou has
dealt treacherous
ly; yet Is she thy
c o m p a n ion and
tho wlfo of thy
covenant"
In tho Now Tea
Umont our Lord's
teaching In regard
to dlvorco Is sot
forth most com
pletely in St. Matthew 19:3-12:
Tho Pharisees also camo unto him,
temptlnK him, and saying unto him, Is It
lawful for a. man to put away his wlfo
for every cause?
And ho answered and said unto them,
Have yo not read, that ho which made
them at tho beginning: made them molo
and femaleT . ..
And sold: For this cause Bhall a man
loave father and mother, and shall cloave
to his wlfo; and thoy twain shall be one
flesh, . . ,
Whcreforo they are no more twain, but
ono nosh. What, therefore. Clod hath
Joined together, let no man put asunder.
They say unto him: Why did Moses
then command to give a writing of di
vorcement, and to put hr awayT
Ho Batth unto them, Moseo. bicauso of
thn hnrilnn.ii nf vnnr henrtB. suffered VOU
to put away your wives; but from the
Ititnrlnnlnty It nit mn
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall
put away hla wife, except it bo for forni
cation, and shall marry another, com
mttteth adultery: and whoso marrloth her
which Is put away doth commit adul
tery. All expositors are agreed that tho
Now Testament thus sots beforo men's
eyes tho indissolubility of marrlago as
tho goal to which they are-unceasingly
to aspiro. If our Lord's teaching makes
any exception It is only as to tho ro
marrlago of tho Innocent party in a dl
vorco on tho ground ot adultery.
Tho presont ratio of dlvorco In Amor-
ioa is euppoBod to bo one to every
twolvo marriagos. Our country Is
known as tho land of easy divorce, and
public opinion Is In danger ot becom
ing moro tolerant towards It What
used to be shameful is now almost ro
spootablo. In reality dlvorco belongs
to tho domain of social pathology, be
causo Jt is a diseased condition of the
family, which Is a vftal organ of eo
cloty. Dlvorco Is an outrage to civilized
thought and feeling, becnuso It is a
crlmo against childhood.
Dlvorco is a monaco to tho nation
beciuuo it shadows and shattors tho
homo.
Dlvurco Is a dishonor to civilized
manhood and womanhood becauso it
is a confession ot failuro and an ac
knowledgment of weakness.
In combatting this evil tho Bible is
on our side. If tho passage quoted from
St Matthow woro the law of tho land
mcflt ot our dlvorco courts could bo

CONQUEP18.
An nrtlclo in a dally paper telling of a cash
offer by a French engineering society for a suc
cessful perpetual motion machine planted In tho
studious bead of J. P. Machezls, a natlvo of
Lithuania, an Idea which, ho says, has finally
worked out, according to n Grand Rapids corre
spondent of tho New York World. It was In 1906
that ho road of tho offer. Ho began thinking, and
In tho end concluded that ho could build a ma
chine. Ho took a wooden soap box and worked
out his model.
Nothing elaborate resulted, but his contraption
worked, ho says. Ho admits that It did not run
"perpetually," because, as ho explains, thore was
too much friction of the unpjaned parts, which
wore only loosely hung together. It did operate
long enough, however, and without othor motive
than Its own momentum, to convince Machezls
that ho was on tho right track.
After dismantling his model so that no ono
could steal his secret ho did nothing for six years
but think, think, think. Not onco did ho pick
up a tool to put any ot his theories in concroto
form, but ho got them on paper and kept them
in his head. He altered his model and expanded
on his original Idea. Ho added moro uprights
and decreased tho numbor of laterals. Ho de
cided to lengthen hla guides and mako them out
of aluminum and he added a couplo of feet to
tho length of tho machine.
At last his thoughts reached the stago whore
thoy commanded actual construction to start, and
ho began In 1912.
Now, after six years ot thought and study and
two vnars of actual work, Machezls has his ma-
M,ino nti hut rnmnlnted. Tho machine Is five
fnnt four Inches hlch and ten feet long.
Tho Inventor will say nothing regarding tho
onoratlon of his macblno for fear his secrets win
bo stolen. He Intends to take patents out soon
so that ho will bo safe In giving the public tho

How can I bo moved to avoid secret
sins and to curb my passions unless
I am confronted with tho thought that
tho all-soolng oyo ot God is upon me?
Thero never was a martyr or hero
that was not a man of strong faith
and earnest convictions.

That the Basutos In South Africa
aro capable ot emerging from their
tribal system Into a now form ot civ
ilization, apart from white Influence
whatever, is tho bollet of Lord Sel

for South Africa.
"But It will take a great many gen

has begun, and it Is very Interesting
to see the evolution, from the ordinary
hut to tho nice houso, and aUo to

who think that our civilization might

Lord Solborno further declared his
