It Is intended for a family of four or flvo who like to entertain their friends in a mod crato way. A liouee that is nearly squaro cuts up into comfortable rooms to better advantago than almost any other houso plan. There is a great advan tago In squaro corners that uro free from roof Interference, becauso ot light and ventilation. In northenn sec tions a houso thnt Is noarly squaro and is built two stories high is easily heated. Thero is economy in build ing after this fashion because tho samo foundation wall and tho same slzo roof covers both floors. Such houses always look well from tho street. They never go out ot fashion. This house Is built of ordinary two by fours In plank framo construc tion manner.

In cold climates especial attention is given to tho window and door frames to havo tho stucco carefully worked Into tho cracks and crevices and to havo the outsldo window cas ings tit clouo against the outside stucco finish. Sometimes fresh stucco mortar is troweled up closo to tho window and door frames just boforo nailing on the casing, so that the casing settles Into tho fresh, soft mortar.

On summer evenings such porch seats aro occupied by the men, who like to sit and smoko and talk. Such a porch Is an invitation to enjoy sum mer evening sociability. Opening off from tho large living room is a splendid loggia. A loggia differs from a porch or veranda In not having an outsldo entrance. It mnkes a very pleasant outdoor sum mer living room that usually is fur nished to suit tho fancies of tho young er members of the family. Some times loggias are fitted up extrava gantly, but' In most instances good taste Is displayed, with comfort as tho object rather than ostentation. Tho main fcaturo downstairs Is tho large living room 18 feet C Inches by 13 feet. Largo living rooms aro de signed to accommodato all tho mem bers of the family and their friends, and are supposod to bo furnished ac cordingly. Tho plan hero shown provides two corners for largo davenports and plenty ot floor spaco for largo uphol stered chairs.

Such trellis supports aro good for all kinds of climbers that hang by ten drils or by winding about tho sup port. Trumpet vinos and others that climb by rootlets should not be plant ed near a houso. They aro better on heavy wooden trellises out in tho yard. Activities of Women.

I' I CLOSE TO AWFUL END GONIZING DEATH VERY NEAR TO THIS MAN. On Dale of Silk In Vat of Scalding Water the Sufferings of a Life- tlmo Were Compressed Into a Few Minutes. A man who Is now at tho head ot ono ot tho largest establishments for dyeing silks lit this country tells a story of a Btrnngo and thrilling adven turo that ho passed through when ho was still only the superintendent ot tho "boiling room." "Silk, ho says, In tolling tlio story, "has been tho means' of my living, and onco it saved my llto. Have you over been in n room whoro thoy boll the raw Bilk? H'b n hot, steaming placo, with groat bubbling vnts that aro sunk to a level with tho floor. Tho raw Ellk, In bales, all fluffy and sticky, comes in on rolling trucks and Is dumpod into tho vats. Tlio mass has to bo stirred about a good deal beforo it goes under. "Just boforo tho noon hour ono day a truck enmo in with two bales on It. "'Dump It into number six vat,' I told tho men. Til 'stir It If you fel lows want to go to dinner.' "When thoy had gono 1 began to look round for tho stirring fork. I couldn't find it nnywhero. 'Confound Illll!" said I to myself. 'Ho loses ev erything.' "I had hardly got tho words out ot my mouth when my foot went off tho edgo of the vat. I felt mysolt falling and I was seized with tho full coif vlctlon of death. "I had tlmo to think over Just how terribly hot tho boiling water would feel and to wonder how much of mo would bo left when tho men camo back from dinner. Then 1 felt, myself land flat on my back on tho mass ot floating silk. "To this day I can Beo tho vory look of tho old smoky roof as I lay on tho island of Bilk with tho boiling water on all sides. It was horribly hot there; the perspiration started out all over me, and I felt that I must move. "First, however, I shouted as loudly as 1 could. When no ono answered I cautiously tried to turn on my sido. Tho bale of fiber began alowly to roll over. Noarly paralyzed with terror, I threw out one arm. It was just enough chnngo in balance; I felt the rolling motion stop. Thon I know U wouldn't do to movo. I lny on my back, poised on tho middlo of tho balo, and walled for help. After a minute or two I began to rcallzo that tho silk was slowly sinking Into tho vat. "You could hardly notice tho motion. At first I could look out of tho corner of my pyo nnd sea tho edge of vat num ber olghL A littlo later, when I looked again, it was out of my lino of vision. I couldn't move without having the balo roll over, and If I remained still 1 would go down Inch by inch into tlio scalding water bolow. "I can remember" that T became a little hysterical. It's funny, what tricks tho mind plays. " 'This is dyeing with a vengeance,' I said aloud, and I even laughed as 1 said It. "It was growing hotter. Steam had begun to percolate through tho silk, and I was wet through with the stifling clouds that rose from tho surface ot tho water. I had no idea of timo. Dy and by, however, somo ono answered my shouts. Tho door opened and two men came rushing across tho room. "'Get a pole!' shouted one. "I knew that would bo fatal; tha slightest push and I would roll over In to tho steaming stew. "'Boyd,' cried I, 'don't touch mo or it will bo all over! Ono of you turn off the feed pipe. Let tho other man go down tlio ladder. Tho plpo that empties this vat Is on tho left. Turn It on full. Do It quick! "I could hear tho chugt chug! of tho steam being cut off from tho vat; a moment later I could see tho wet rim that broadened round tho edges, nnd I know tho water was fulling, It took half an hour to empty number six. For a while tho two men ran, round llko excited Juno bugs. Then they got n rope end sat on tho edge of tho vat watching mo with great staring eyes. "As tho water ran out, tho silk sank now on ono sldo, now on tho other. Onco it started to roll. Both tbo mon grunted and sat up very straight. Sud denly ono of them cried out: "'There's tho bottom!' "I felt tho mass of silk settle ngalriB'. something. I heard tho Inst water gulp as It ran out. Thon I fainted away." Youth's Companion. First Cremations In America.
