SOLKMCOLLY could
not understand why the chil-
'hen iliil not like him. He gave
them good advice. He patted
them upon their heads. He ex
pressed the hope that they would he
successful in life as he had been. He
promised them rewards If they would
behave themselves as he wanted them
to. Yet they catue to his school un
willingly and went home from it glad
ly. They were respectful, but unsmil
ing.
It was with hope, tm not without
difficulty, that a friend persuaded
Philetus to officiate ns Santa Claus at
the Christmas festival and to assume
the traditional garb of the p„rt. Hhl
letus did not see much use in such
fanciful doings, hut yielded to sollci
tatlon and appeared upon the occasion
with much gruee as a feeling of
foolishness would allow. His spare
form was now rotund, ins sober gar
ments hud become gay, and the jolly
mask that had been adjusted to his
long face gave Him quite anew ex
pression.
As the joy among the children pro
gressed and the spirit of fun and
frolic mounted high IMdietus began
to experience a change of heart. To
his amazement he began having a good
time himself and to feel like a real
Saint Nicholas. For fids reason, per
haps. he overexerted himself to such
an extent Hint his mask fell off and
it was revealed to the surprised audi
ence that it had been contradicting
the face of Sir. Solemcolly.
This was really the best feature of
the evening, and it proved to have a
permanence about it, for. from that

broadened, and fattened, .ami colored
up, until it came to look a good deal
like the face of that old fairy who
is always young and kindly.
So tlie mask that fell off left its
imprint and stayed on, and Philetus,
able to be merry, became the familiar
friend of the children. —Christopher G.

DUPLEX BUILDING
LIKE RESIDENCE
Design Intended for Restricted
Residence Location Gives
Two Homes.
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 sub
jects. Address all inquiries to William
A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue,
Chicago, 111., and only Inclose two-cent
stamp for reply.
This is not a residence converted to
duplex use, but was designed to serve
the residential requirements of two
families. It ■ was • designed to be
built in a rather thickly populated,
suburban section where certain re
strictions operated to prevent the erec
tion of what would obviously appear
from the outside as a typical flat
building. The casual passer-by would
assume it to be'a--rather commodious
residence of good design, for the two
entrance doors are so placed as to
give the effect of one wide door.
There are two entrance vestibules;
as one crosses the threshold ‘ the in
terior of each half of the house be
comes strictly private, and with no
connection with the other. Observe
that, the side entrances help carry this
feeling of privacy still farther, for
one enters the stairway hall, set mid-
way back in the house, from the re
spective sides.
If we £0 in the front door and pass
through the vestibule there, we find
ourselves in the living: room. This is
of good size, 15 feet' by 13 feet, and
lias a long French window opening on
to the front porch and side windows.
A wide door connects with the dining
room, 15 feet by 13 feet in size, and
a small passage divides it from the
kitchen.. The kitchen is 15 feet by 11

porch which can be screened or
glassed in as desired.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms,
a bathroom and a sleeping porch. A
long narrow hall runs by the inner
wail, giving all the rooms outside light,
and the front bedroom lias its indi
vidual lavatory. Thus, this room could
be used by the apartment

is a frank means of helping a home
pay for itself. One could build this
home and have the tenant’s rent for
one-lialf of the house help pay the
total indebtedness. If the family is
small, what objection Would there be
to a roomer or two, ns suggested
above? Obviously none. The day is
gone when it was a sygn of poverty
to have a roomer or two; space is he
