When the sun parlor was introduced
into home design, some years ago, it
became instantly popular and soon
replaced the older type of enclosed
but covered porch. Very few pres
ent day home designs provide a porch.
Of course there is the open terrace
which is a familiar feature of the now
popular Spanish type of architecture,
but it ean hardly be called & porch

The sun parlor is excellent and has

Varied Materials Often
Desirable in Walls
The house which is finished in a
combination of materials on the exte
rior walls must be very carefully de
signed. Too many times we see houses
on which apparently little thought has
been given to architectural charm and
the resulting “hodge-podge” of ma
terials leads us to wonder if certain
material had run short, necessitating
the substitution of something else.
Everyone has heard the statement
that a new house should be designed
to fit the site. In crowded suburban
communities the most important of
these factors to be considered are the
houses on either side. To cite an in
stance, if a stucco house stands on
one side of your property and a brick
one on the other the naturat method
of tying in with these two suggests
the house with brick, stucco and sid-
Ing in combination.
How can these be most pleasingly
assembled in one house? DBrick, be
cause masonry is the heaviest in
weight, invariably occurs at the base
of the building, The first flocr walls,
an exterior chimney and a small gable
depending vpon design, may be pleas
ingly presented #a this durable and
pleturesque material, The lighter stuc
co would serve as a finish for the up
per story of the building. Gable ends
and dormers, and particularly walls
over wide openings should be lightest
in feeling. Siding is an excellent ma
terial to express this airiness, Wavy
butts give a picturesque effect of the
hand-wrought age, .
If a building plot lies between a
gtone house on the one hand and a
frame dwelling on the other, another
happy combination of materials for
tre new house that will tie the three
tugether into a pleasing unity will be
the use of stone for the lower floor
and channey, with cedar shingles used
above, Use of whitewash, which
washes off on projecting stones to pro
duce a pleasing contrast, I 8 an effee
tive treatment that makes possible the
use of mediocre grades of stone, A
#tone house, becnuse of its sturdy ap
pearance, may appear cramped If lo
mted on too narrow a plot,
Spatter Flooring Is
an Effective Finish
~ An effective way to decorate wide
board floors Is by means of striping
‘with a narrow line of a contrasting
color mlong the Jolnings, The rugs
used on this type of floor, ns with any
decorated floor, should be solid In
color, in order not to clash with the
general scheme,
of the porch. There are still many
peoplie who like a porch, and it seems
quite probable that in the course ot
a few years there will be a‘ swing
back to porches once more. A de
sign which provides both sun room
and porch should be doubly attrac
‘tive. - Such a“design is shown here.
The porch is inset at one ccrner of
the house with -the sun room directly.

dormer providirg space for a second
floor sewing room, The sweep on
the roof line down .over the porch
creates much the effect of a story
and a half house, but as a matter of
fact, the main portion‘of the house is
a full two-story structure.
~ln addition to ‘the rooms aready
r~mentioned, this deflgn includes six
rooms, living rocm, dining room and
kitchen, with adjoining breakfast
nook on the first floor:and- theree bed
vooms and bath on the second floor.
All of these Tooms are of good di:
mensions son the average family use
and are compactly and conveniently
arranged. The house occupies a space
but 24 feet wide and 20 feet deep ex:
clusive of the {front and rea:
porches.
In older houses, where the wide
board floors are in poor condition, the
spatter finish is both effective and ar
tistic. The floor first of all should be
cleaned with warm water and ammo
nia, and bleached, if necessary, with a
solution of oxalic erystals and water.
After a crack filler has been used, or
a paste wood filler if the wood is open
grain, the floor receives three coats
of paint,
When the final coat is dry the first
spatter color is applied by dipping an
ordinary scrubbing brush in paint and
scrapine the bristles with a table knife
which forces the contrasting color to
spatter, The remaining spatter colors
are applied in the same way, without
waiting for the first to dry. If the
fioor has been given a flat finish, either
closs or flat paints may be used for
spattering, but where the ground coat
is gloss the spatter colors nmust be
flat, This treatment results in a soft
finish which-is appropriate for almost
any room. The application of a final
coat of varnishewill protect the paint
and make cleaning easier, .

Young Lady's
Elbows No Longer
. A Hat Rack
“T just couldn’t vesist any longer
telling you of your wonderful medi
cine, Milks Emulsion, I have been
constipatéd as long as I can remem
ber.. Had typhoid fever when I was
eight years old and since then my
bowels haven't moved freely. Doctors
have given me bowel medicine and I
have taken pills, salts, castor oil, and
everything a person could think of.
They didn't do me any good whatever.
“Now, whenever I hear anyone say
they are constipated, I immediately
tell them of Milks Emulsion. I have
taken about 12 large bottles, not all
of them regular. Now I keep Milks
Emulsion in the house and take it
regular. I have taken so much medi
cine that I thought it was all alike.
“I had a sallow complexion, no
color, and felt miserable all the time;
but now I have the color of health,
and health is something I wouldn't
exchange with anyone for a fortune.
I wouldn’t take ten times the price I
paid for Milks Emulsion for the re
sults T have obtained.
“I am 19 years old and weigh 105
pounds. Have gained 5 pounds since
taking your medicine and am still
gaining. My face is round and my
arms are getting round. Before, peo
ple used to hang their hats on my el
bows, thinking they were hatracks.
Now I am going to keep on with Milks
Bmulsion until I weigh 125 pounds,
“I mentioned your Emulsion to two
doctors. ‘They both admitted it was
good, and no one knows better than I
that it is not only good, but wonder
ful.
“You may publish this letter if you
wish and anyone that wants to ask
me about your medicine may do so.
I promise to answer every letter. Tln
fact, T couldn't do enough for Milks
Emulsion to repay them for what
their medicine has done for me. I

Coke’s Distinct Valve
in the House Furnace
Soft coal can never be burned in
house-heating furnaces with such com
pleteness of combustion as coke.
When soft coal is used most of the
volatile matter distilled from the coal
escapes from the furnace unburned in
the form of scot, tar, and combustible
gases, Part of the soot and tar is de- |
posited on the heating surfaces of the
stove or furnace and in the flues and
part escapes through the chimney as
visible smoke. The tar and soot do
net burn in the furnace because the
furnace is usually too small and the
temperature too low for maintaining
their combustion. The residue left
after the tar and soot have bheen
driven from the coanl is in the form of
coke. It burns slowly and almost com
pletely in the small furnace and the
heat which gets into the house is most
ly the heat that has been generated
by burning this residue. Therefore,
when soft coal is burned in the ordi
nary house-heating furnace the coal is
first reduced to coke by driving off the
volatile matter, most of which escapes
unburned; then the coke burns in the
furnace and heats the house, Driving
off the volatile matter unburned not
only causes a direct logs of heat but
causes a great deal of dirt in the fur
nace, flues, boiler room, and also in the
outside atmosphere. Since the vola
tile matter in soft coal is of negative
value so far as heating the house is
concerned. it is better to use a fuel
that does not contain volatile matter.
Such a fuel is coke.—Dßureal of Mines.
