It Is an event of tremendous Importance to "him end his family, and Bhould merit careful study and thought There are many modern features In home-bnlld-Inq that cannot be overlooked If the finished product is bo be entirely satisfactory. For Instance, one of the most Important developments In hotnebulldlng in the lost decade bas been that of sun parlors and sleeping porches. With the growth In popularity of the "fresh air"* idea, especially when sleeping, these two factors have become prominent parts of new bouses. And as the years pass, Improvements have been made In their construction until now they are near perfection as possible. Another important factor In homebuilding Is the material to be used. Because of lis permanent/ and •trength, brick Us used extensively. It Insures a great deal of protection against Are and Is specified In many building codes. As an excellent example of what can be accomplished with brick as the construction material, the house shown here Is hard to beat.A glance at the Illustration shows a very attractive exterior greatly enhanced by many variations In elevations, such as the roof over the porch, the wing for the sun parlor, the main gable and the rear projection for the aleeplng porch upstairs. The urched (after ^effect Is very pleasing and the contrast of the white stone trim against the darker brick background la quite striking. In the sun parlor and sleeping porch casement windows'have been used Insuring mnxlmum lighting space and adequate ventilation. The Stin parlor Is heated like

wife who no longer can get- servants at any price. In a -house of thta atee the work entailed Is considerable, especially ft • one woman has to take care of all of , it. Because of the servant shortage she has to have some substitute and " builders have found many ways and means to help her out; first, by reducing the size of the rooms without detracting from any of their charm, and secondly, by Installing space-saV-lng and labor-saving devices. It has been found that the kitchen no longer _ nasd be a large room; In -fact the - comptate equipment can be Installed In a very small space. A small pantry Is also provided In this plan. 1 On the second floor are three bedrooms and bath as well as the sleep-' i

' SMALL CREATURES AS PETS Some People Keep Bees in Observation i Hive Within the House — Water Bug's Odd Habit Such small creatures as bees, ants, i fleas, toads and cockroaches have come ! In for their shore of petting, and seem I to like It, toq. Most of us have watched 1 in wordless astonishment ' Ibe dashing i pair of fleas pull a small chariot I around a tiny ring In the sideshow of a circus. Toads make as Interesting '• pets us goldfish. i Do you know that every time a Joad swallows a Junehug Ids face wears a ' surprised and rather pained expression.

and that he rubs Ids stomach with his funny, little hands In order to quiet his restive men! 7 Many people keep^bees in a small observation hive on a sitting room table near the window. The hive Is made with glass sides, and little dark screens are kept'pulled UoWh to keep out the light except when they are under observation. The hive Is connected by a one-inch bore tube with the window sash, so thut the little creatures do not stream ' through the .room. Dr. L. O. Howard tells a quaint - story- .about a water bug which lived in his desk. When the doctor finished bis cigar ench morning he placed the stump on tlie corner of his desk. Out his little friend would come every time after the moisture on the end of the (Mgnr. Later he grew to like the tobacco taste and at last became addlct- . ed to the habit, without any detriment to his health, the doctor says. — National Geographic Society Bulletin. Nature's Wlsdsifiestrictlon. Every fellow with any "go" to him wants to do what he wants ta We might also add that he watits to do what he wants to when he wants to. But Very often that Is Impossible. And In a good many Instances It's best. that ' It Is. As. a tule-j>eople are more rash than they want to acknowledge. If they had half a chance they would glory In goading others Into the wildest rashness and then laugh about the predicaments they would find them In. So nature has put safeguards around humanity to keep' It from doing many things that never ought to be attempted. Occasionally people., break through I them and the victim plfys the penalty. ; — Exchapge.
