The other day | passed a rather pre- tontious farm house, set well back from the highway, with a curved grav- el drive up to the front door, and a gateway with high stone posts at its entrance, with two feeble vines of some imported sort trying to make believe that by and by they might climb up around the posts. The house was freshly painted white with the tradi- tional green blinds. The barns and outbuildings were all in ostenatiously good repair. Clearly the home of a well to do farmer and his family. I noticed that grass was beginning to show, thinly, in the gravel of the Litle used drive to the handsome fromt eatrance, while twisting shamefacedly way from itg carefully d contour & well trodden path sneaked tortuously around to the back door. You see, visi- tors were expected to come to the front door, while the folks ef the house al- ‘ways came and went by the little crooked path which led to the home- like kitchen. 'The sweeping gravel driveway and the bare front piazza and the plilars with their jig-sawed brackets and the door with its shining panels and imitation electric bell, were there for show and the use of rare visitors. those who Mved every day in the house never used them-—had no use for them. 1 know another house, the very sight of which irritates my sense of home- 1¥keness 5o grtevousiy that I invariabyy look away from #, when passing, if that be possible. A better house than ‘the country averages, 80 far as cost iz doncerned, it and the grounds about it are always spick end span. It isn't that whioh annoys me. It's the cur- taine and shades of the front windows. In every one of the windows which open directly upon the road the snades are always drawn just two inches be- low the middic sash rail, and the film: curtains behind them are looped pinned and fastened—I don’t know but they may be sewed and nafled, into such shape that they form an exact geometrical figure, a sort of elongated fosenge. Every window in thlas part of the house is exactly like every other window. And they're always just the same—have been for years and years. HBvery time I pass it I have an insane desire to throw a drick or a stick of cordwood through one of those win- dows 50 as to make it look as if there had been something alive in the house to which they belong. As this would be considered wun- neighborly conduct, I have thus far resisted the impuise. But 1 find it more comfortable to put Satan behind me by carefully directing my atten- oot10d Watch Repairing done at Friswell's speaks for itaelf. tion to the crops on the other side of the highway, as soon as I reach the WM. FRISWELL, 25-27 Franklin well-marked bueh which tells me the fan22dew house 1 about to come into sight. When The Wise Man and The Wise Woman build their house they bulld it to .ive Ir, not to make a show of. They 0O mistake will be made and theirs are to dwell n it all their lives. At least they hope so. Wihich is the more mportant for them, their own convenicnce and comfort for every day of every year, or the casual ad- miration of & chance stranger driving by? They are to live on the inside; jen't that of more interest than the outside, mnc‘? ;ae_v Efl;‘;‘ “f}umfi: they are in the house? f thh iis to be & home should be built and contrived, in every least detail, with first regard to its use and com- for: as a home. Everything else should be subordinate to that. Then, if money and time remain, ornamenta- tion and appearance may properly be considered. But it surely is putting the cart before the horse to build your home so the outside shall make a brave show and then fit your own Hves to the arbitrary limits set by the shell you've made. . Two houses that | know of, standing several parallels of latitude apart, and neither owner knowing of the other, iHustrate my idea almost ideally, The two owners have had very similar lives. Both begen as poor farmers; both have prospered; both are now well-to-do; both have raised familles. ‘When they began each one built a small house, suitable fothe Immedi- ate needs of two people. As their families grew and their means in- creased, they have both enlarged their borders. But on absolutely different Hnes. The one, finding his little house too narrow for the growing family, called in a c#rpenter and had built a new an} larger house. TLike most similar con- structions, it was built on straight lines, . with few angles, with strict economy of timber, and, so fer as the frame was concerned, looked in its earlier construction very much as a barn would have looked at the same stage. It was larger than the old one, and made possible the construction of more rooms. These were fitted to the outside, being given such shape and size and lighting as the rigid walls permitted. The kitchen was put at the Mack and the dining room and the sit- ting room and the bedrooms crowded in wherever they would go, not where they ought to have gone. As a result the house was never satisfactory and when, later, even it became too con- stricted for the increasing demands of the family, it was with little regret that another new house was determin- ed upon. In this case an architect's plans were seoured and followed. The result was a really fine looking resi- dence, from the outside, and constder- ably increased convenience within. But egain many of the rocms had to be cut to fit the exterior; the efforts of architect and buider were direoted, first, to making an attractive outside and only secondly to interior conven- jence. All the sentiment which had ‘been lived imto the original home was obllterated. The family might as well have transferred itself into a Dig, modern hotel. Tt's a fine place to look at, and attracts much admiration from visitors. But as 2 home it is not a howling success. The other man, when he, also, felt the need and had the ability to enlarge bis house, did not abandon the firat little house, He enlarged it a little at one end, and added a “wing,” mak- ing it of exactly the shape and size needed to inclose the added jrooms he required. That is, he and his wife ylanned the rooms first, and planned them just as they wanted them. Then they built an outside around the rooms. They gave not a thought to how the outside was going to look—till after the interior plans had been perfected for their future comfort. Then they devoted a little casual consideration to that comparatively unimportant matter. As time went on, they con- tinued, adding to their home—always retaining the existing portions, and always adding the rooms they wanted, of the size and shape they wanted, with the outlooks they wanted, They now have a houss, as roomy as that of the first man, without any pretense of architectural dignity—indeed, with little architectural coherence. It is a sprawling, many-angled bunch of a bullding without a room in it which isn’t lighted from at least three sides, without a chamber or closet but is just the chamber or closet which was want- ed, with every part dedicated to daily use—a big, convenient, cheerful, cozy home. To me, knowing the deljghtful in- terior, even the outside of this house is immeasurably attractive. It's the inside of the house that we live in; the outside is there simply to hold the Inside together.

The ice did not melt off much all day, except on the ground it thawed some so it was not so bad traveling. BUSINESS WOMAN Not a New Type, Says Waterbury Pastor—~Lydia Was in Trade. Woman's Position in the Modern Business World was the title of Sun- day evening's sermon by the Rev. Frank Dunwell Walter in the First M. E. church at Waterbury. Mr. Walter took for his text: *“And a certain woman named Lydia, a sell- er of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened that she attended unto the things which were spoken by Paul” Aets xvi:l4. He sald in part: - “Lydia, the Christian business wo- , mentioned in the text, suggests to us the position which woman holds today. It is a significant fact that her position is not & new one. This pas- sage clearly teaches us- that at least one woman, a long time ago, was en- gaged in quite an extensive business as a purple seller. e _“Woman has taken a permanent po- i sition in the business world. She is making her place more permanent and necessary as each vear completes its circle. But®et us remember that her position is not that of a mere labore; but a positive power in the intellectual and professional life of our nation. She has taken her stand by the side of man and demonstrated her abilit: to cope with all the intellectual and scientific problems of the day. “Not long ago I noticed in the paper an account of a protest on the part of some Columbia university men against a dipioma being given to some young woman who had completed the entire course of study. They were informed by the faculty that if they did not appear with the women and receive their diplomas by their side, they ‘would never receive them. One beau- tiful characteristic is manifested in the character of Professor Hilprecht of the university of Pennsylvania, when he pays such a beautiful tribute to his wife in the Introduction to his great book upon archaeological re- searches, saying the work would not have been possible without her valua- ble and patient help.
