CHARMING SMALL MJNGUI HE Inexpensive to Build and Modern in Every Respeot. FIVE WELL-ARRANGED ROOMS Quaint Air About This Dwelling That Sends Out Strong Appeal and Its Inherent Coziness Is in Its Favor. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he Is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. Ten years ago, we daresay, people would not have been wildly interested in a home-building show. Rents were reasonable, in fact some landlords were offering bonuses in the form of one, two or three months free, and building costs were low. People had some thing else to think about. But today. All! It is quite differ ent. The subject of homes, rents, building costs and labor troubles are I \ .-g* q ft ' -T-?'

This Vias come about through reversal in con ditions. Rents are no longer low, In fact they have reached the point where many families cannot pay; buildings are scarce, there are at least 1,500,000 homes short, not to mention other types of structures, and practically everyone is affected. As a consequence the Idea of a home-building show attracts Imme diate and keen interest. In three large cities this spring shows of this kind will be held and no doubt all records for attendance will be broken. People are interested In home-building ideas, and judging by tne latest re ports from various building commis sioners’ offices, many of them are building their own homes this spring. The number of permits has jumped— past records are-left far behind. These people are looking for ideas in building because they have come to realize fully that home ownership is the short and direct cut to happi ness. They want Ideas. And we hope to help them. For those who are limited In means, who want the best their money can get, we suggest that they pause a moment and consider the delightful small home shown here with floor plan. A glance at the picture shows a very attractive cozy design, built of frame with brick steps and front porch. There Is a quaint air about the dwelling that sends out r. strong appeal and Its Inherent eozlness is a quality In its favor. The design does not call for any special construction and, being more or less rectangular, there will be no extra expense in con struction. In fact it is designed to offer the builder something worth w’hlle at a very reasonable outlay. Passing from the outside, one finds the front door opening directly into a large living room, 17 feet 0 inches by 12 feet 6 inches. The space that would ordinarily be used for a front hall or vestibule has been added to the living room, making that room large and Infinitely more comfortable. ■Windows on two sides provide ample ‘junllght and ventilation. No matter y>w small the house these days, the giving room is large because It has come to be considered practically the be-all and end-all of family life. It »s the recreation center, lounging room nd Informal gathering place as well i the reception room for state as- Irs. The advent of the phonograph makes dancing In the home a com mon practice and the large living room is an important accessory after the fact. The interroom opening between liv ing and dining rooms in this home makes the two rooms practically one large room. It is a wide opening without any doors or colonnades. The dining room is the same size as the living room. When considered togeth er, there is an expanse 17 by 23 feet, whicli is as large as the living room in a big home. Continuing straight bach to the rear, the visitor finds the kitchen, a small room. 10 by 9 feet 6 inches, sufficiently large for this home .vet ideal from the standpoint of the house wife who has to cover enough terri tory as it is. There is no excuse for wasting a lot of expensive building spate in a kitchen when built-in space saving features will take care of the requirements. As to sleeping quarters, there are two bedrooms located along the right side of the house with bathroom be tween. One bedroom opens into the living room, the other into the dining room. They are not large, 9 by 12 feet, but not small enough to cause skimping. Each bedroom has two large windows. All things considered, this makes an ideal practical five-room dwelling, suitable for the average small family of one or two children. There is a genuine need for homes of this type to stem the tide towards flat dwell ings which, possessing some desirable features, tend to destroy many of the finest benefits of home life and to lessen civic interest on the part of the individual. A home owner Is a responsible citizen because he has something definite at stake. He pays taxes direct and consequently is In terested in the way in which they are being expended. He is not a “float er,” not a straw to be tossed about on the waves of uncertainty. Lord Byron at “Full Scandal." Once Lord Byron had arrived at the stage of what J. A. Strahan, writing in the Edingurgh Review, calls “full scandal.” English society, with the sole exception of Lady Jersey, shunned him as It would shur. the bubonic plague. Lady Jersey insisted on entertaining him. Fashion came to her house and bowed down its head to the great host ess, bkt turned up Its nose at her greater guest. In passing by him, ladies picked up their gowns lest they be contaminated by his touch. And yet, according to Mr. Strahan, there was no man in Europe, with the exception of Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington, in which the English public was more interested. At his hotel women of position bribed the chambermaids to let them take over their clothes and duties for the evening, so that they might have a near look at the monster. At Venice it was impossible for Byron to go out In a gondola without having all the visiting Englishmen rush to their windows, throw back the curtains and exclaim. “There he goes 1" The Retort Courteous. The mid-Victorian Lady set out on a quest for photograph records of a gay and jazzy variety. The day was sad and dreary, wet under foot, foggy and generally miserable. The shop she entered was manned by a com pletely discouraged and disheartened group of sales people. The girl at the phonograph shop was plainly given over to the most gloomy forebodings. Abandoned to depression, her frock sagged, her hair was listless and drooping. Into this brooding melan choly the mid-Victorian Lady ruthless ly broke, and, intruding upon the secret sorrow of the Gloomy One, briskly demanded: "Have you 'Smiles?' ” The saleslady surveyed space and in a colorless monotone droned: “All out,” as though she se cretly rejoiced in the fact. “You look it!” rejoined the would-be pur chaser, at which smiles appeared on the faces of all beholders, whether the shop could dispense them or not.— Exchange.

JUNIOR TOPIC.—A Man Who Forgot God, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC.—“Pride Goeth Before Destruc tion.” YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC. —The Perils of Prosperity. I. Uzziah Made King (vv. 1-5). 1. His Age (v. 1). He became king at the age of sixteen. 2. Length of His Reign (v. 3). He reigned fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah, which means “Jehovah is able,” or “Made strong of Jehovah.” 3. His Character (v. 4). He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. 4. His Prosperity (v. 5). lie defi nitely sought God while Zeehariah lived, and because he sought him God made him to prosper as long as lie continued to seek him. He, like Joash before him, turned aside when the in fluence of the man of God was re moved. 11. Uzziah's Achievement (vv. 6-15). 1. He Built Eloth (v. 2). This was a port on the Red sea which had been lost to Judah. No doubt it was the aim of the father to get possession of tills port, so the son makes its restora tion his first duty. It was an im portant trading point and the com mercial Interests of the nation would be greatly increased by its possession. 2. He Had Military Success (vv. 6-8). (1) He conquered the Philis tines (v. 6). After subduing them he dismantled their fortified cities and built new cities in their stead. (2) He defeated the Arabians (v. 7). (3) He made the / Ammonites across the Jor dan pay tribute (v. 8). < 3. He Fortified Jerusalem (vv. 9- 15). He took advantage of the peace which was now enjoyed because of the subjugation of his enemies to fortify Jerusalem. He placed in the towers great engines of war for hurling stones. 4. His Civic improvements (v. 10). In the regions south and west of Jerusalem he built towers which served a threefold purpose, namely; observation, defense and shelter for bl« cattle. This enubled him to carry c« his stock-raising enterprises. 5. His Army (vv. 11-15). It numbered 307,500. It was thoroughly equipped and drilled. God was with him, and his fame spread far and wide. The source of his strength was God. 111. Uzziah’s Transgression (vv. 16- 18). The prosperity bestowed upon him by the Lord was too much for him— his heart was lifted up with pride. This is always so unless counteracted by divine grace. In his pride he pre sumptuously intruded into the priest’s office. This act was not because of forgetfulness, but of deliberate pur pose. Azariah and eighty other priests remonstrated with him, but this only made him angry. This act was a trespass against God. IV. Uzziah’s Punishment (vv. 19- 21). While raging In his wrath and about to burn Incense he was smitten with leprosy, a dreadful, incurable and un clean disease. This judgment came upon him as a consequence of his overweening pride and vanity. He was thrust out of the sanctuary—excluded from God’s house. Indeed, his own conscience smote him, and he hurried ly went out because he knew that the Lord had smitten him. He not only was excluded from the place of wor ship, but was dethroned. His son Jotham was made regent. His Judg ment was: 1. Sudden. The Lord smote him while attired as priest, with censer in hand. Frequently God’s Judgments are speedy. 2. Severe. The leprosy broke forth upon his forehead. The same judgment befell Miriam for speaking against Moses (Num. 12:10), and Gehazi for lying to Elisha (II Kings 5:27). Great sins demand severe punishment. 3. Conspicuous. Azariah and all the priests looked up and beheld the leprosy (v. 20). The spot on Uzziah's forehead proclaimed him as the object of God’s wrath. How many today are bearing about the marks of sin—God’s Judgment! 4. Humiliating. He was henceforth unclean —cut off from the congrega tion. This is what sin always does. 5. Fatal. It ended in death. “The wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23). Cause and Upholder. God alone ... is In Himself, and is the Cause and Upholder of every thing to which He has given being.— Pusey. Praise the Lord. Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men! —Bible. The Blockhead. A blockhead cannot come in nor go away, nor sit, nor rise, nor stand, like a man of sense. —Bruyere. 8 Man-Tailored Topcoats; H Knitted Bathing Suits j IT IS the fashion to be sensible — that is, when it comes to choosing one’s street suit or topcoat. The top coat patterned after big brother’s or hubby's own is woman's pride tills sea son. To lie swagger style, these man nish cloth togs must be of staunch and sturdy cloth which guarantees outdoor service. Where do you suppose we go to buy the real thing In these coveted coats? Direct to a man’s tailoring es tablishment ! It is a fact several lead ing manufacturers identified hereto- Mannish Cloth Togs. fore the country over as makers exclu sively of men’s suits and coats are pro ducing strictly tailored garments for women this season. These coats of masculine type to be correct must have the characteristic neat collar, wide belt, roomy sleeves and deep pockets without a compro mise toward any detail which savors of the feminine. The illustration dem onstrates this mode. Melton cloth, which Is noted for its light weight and heavy appearance, is the favorite fabric, although tweed Is a close rival. The herringbone pat tern, which is so well thought of for men’s suits and coats, Is quite as ap pealing to sister and mother this sea son for street wear. If It isn’t the topcoat mannishly fashioned then It Is the suit, which milady insists must be built on conven tional lines. For the business woman who has no time for frills these new modes are especially appropriate. Yet I think me that a touch of the eternal feminine In the way of a bit of crochet Knitted Bathing Suit/ 'ace is sure to reveal itself when the coat is thrown open, although the strictly tailored lingerie shirtwaist is really In keeping with the vogue, which proclaims men’s fashions us women’s fashions tills season. It is a question whether beige or gray has preference, and many of the lighter two-tone brown effects are noted. The suit in the picture was devel oped in gray homespun and It Is the type which is ever ready with no wear out to it. According to the calendar, antici pation will soon be realization to those looking forward to the season of swimming and sea-bathing. Why not forestall the usual plea of regret, “I have no bathing suit,” by preparing aforetime- I It was remarked at the sea-coast winter resorts this season, that the plain high-quality knitted bathing suit was prime favorite. Os course there were many novelty creations which pass under the title of bathing suit, which are in reality beach costumes of the elaborate sort. If one is not a water fan, this sort of outfit is charmingly in neeord with the picture, but when it comes to real sport, gen uine healthy hearty playing the waves, or professional swimming, nothing gives tlie satisfaction of the knitted bathing suit. It Is, however, good economy to buy only the best. There are certnln stand ard makes which guarantee fast color and enduring shapeliness. It Is a waste of money to Invest In nny other. Some of the new knitted suits are most attractively designed ns verified In the accompanying picture. This model Is to be had In very Interesting color combinations, such as gray with navy, scarlet or orange border. It Is of jersey knit and In every line shows that style and becomingness has been thought out by the designer down to the slightest detail. The attached full skirt Is belted and bordered, In away which adds to the general attractiveness. The refinement of this suit Is one of Its characteris tics. It Is Just as essential to wear attrac tive correct accessories with the bath ing suit, ns with one’s dressiest cos tume. Bathing caps are becoming millinery achievements these days. The rubber flower cups are great fa vorites. For Instance an ocean blue cap Is entirely covered with white petalled rubber daisies. Itoinun stripe bandanna caps are Immensely becom ing and it carries out a color mode which is fashionable throughout dress accessory this season. For beach capes there are creations i:: rubberized silk In gayest colorings. The three-piece bathing suit with knitted cape to match Is meeting with success, not only because of Its at tractiveness, but also from the stand point of utility.
