Cliief Attraction Lies in its Quaintnacs, Roominecs and Hospitable Appearance— Rccms Large and Weil Arranged. Dy W. A. RADFORD. Mr. ‘William A. Radford will answar questions and fiive 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 doub + , the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago. 111., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. In spite of the fact that the Dutch colonial home is over a century old and was brought over by our ancestors, it is as popular as it lias ever been, if not more so. Originally this type of home was found in the East, but in the last few years many colonial homes have been built in western communities. Its cliief attraction lies in its quaintness, roominess and hospitable appearance. This gives it the charms that never fail to appeal. The modern colonial home contains all the innovations of building art and stands as a link between the modern age and the days that have passed. Who could wish for a more attractive home than the one shown nere. i
Second Floor Rian. fire-place of course is there, being one of the essentials in this kind of house. Two very large doorways open on the covered porch 10 by 14 feet, which can be easily converted into a sleeping porch with the addition of screens. At the very end of the living room is a wall bookcase. The dining room on the other side of the hall is almost square being 13 ft. 3 in. by 15 feet. The kitchen is directly in hack of the dining room and is slightly smaller in size. The size
built of frame with the attractive lattice on tiie lower story and drop siding above? It presents a very charming appeal to all home lovers. The side* en trance which is so characteristic of L is Type looks like the old fashioned door with its distinctive knocker. The
First Floor Rian. roof dormers have beep made unusually attractive by the arch in the center, while green shutters contrasted with the white background add considerably to the general appearance.
of the kitchen is an important feature of modern construction. The large kitchen of a few years ago is no longer found. This is particularly due to the shortage of domestic help, and the housewife cannot take care of the large room without help. As a result the builder lias reduced the size of this room and hoped in doing so to make it more efficient. The kitchen in this home is built with all modern equipment. Opening from the pantry onto the porch is a wall door ice box. This eliminates the necessity of the ice man walking through the kitchen and disturbing the family, as he can put the ice in the box from the porch. The bedrooms are all located on the second floor. There are four of them of exactly the same size, 13 ft. 3 inches by 11 ft. 6 inches, each with a large clothes closet and lighted by at least two windows. The bathroom completes the arrangement. In view of the present shortage of homes and the crowded conditions in ninny localities, families who have such a home as is shown here are indeed fortunate. Too often in the construction of dwellings the children are overlooked, and in many cases are not tolerated by landlords. However, they are a necessity and attractive and comfortable homes like this type, will do much in developing them into healthy men and women.

OTTAWA, ONT. — From the maple trees of eastern Canada miniature rivers of syrup will soon start flowing. Later it will blanket the pancakes of a continent and give the palatable touch to many other fable delicacies. • Twenty million pounds, according fo a department of agriculture report, should be this year’s harvest. Quebec, the biggest producer, will ifurnish about 14,500,000 pounds, .Ontario about 5,000,000 and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia groves the remainder. Total value should exceed $2,000,000. ! Vast stretches of primeval maple forest awaits modern sugar-making equipment in northern parts of lOuebec and Ontario. Plans for developing the industry areTeing advanced by a number of interests, including a co-operative sugarpiakers’ association. This organization also seeks laws to prohibit jeompound syrups that deceive the public, and is urging the governpient to assist in a big annual exposition. The government has established in Quebec four schools in
the manufacture of sugar and syrup. \ y*: * Reforesting with maple, which “should prove a very remunerative enterprise, yielding an annual crop of sugar and a heritage in timber, * is advocated in the government report. The Indians started the industry, gashing the. maples with tomahawks and catching the sap in birch-bark dishes. It was boiled in earthen kettles. In a few backwoods spots the methods of the redmen have * been little improved. Modern equipment will soon transform this condition, however. ... ,

DUMB THREE YEARS, SINGS London—An ex-service man named Bishop, who was dumb for three years was a singer at a concert held at Hollingbourne. He lost his power of speech through being blown up at Hill 60, but recovered it after a course of electrical treatment, and is now able to sing as well as ever. BULL FIGHTS FOR PARIS Paris—Bullfighting may be one of the attractions here, with real toreadors from Spain and real bulls, tho the animals will not be allowed to be killed. The suggestion is that Pershing Stadium, which costs $20,000 a year to keep up, may be profitably let for this purpose. VIENNESE DINE IN THEATRES Vienna—Theatre managers complain that the upholstery of their houses is being ruined by the new habit of play-goers bringing their suppers and eating them during the entre-acts. Because of the lighting restrictions the shows start very early not permitting business men to go home to dinner in time to reach the theatre.
WAR ON FOXES London—Depredations by foxes have become so serious in Merioneth that the Small Holdings Committee has asked the Ministry of Agriculture for authority to offer $2.50 reward for each adult fox nd $1.25 for each cub caught in the country.
FRUIT MILLINERY
Paris—Market garden millinery is the note in the Paris spring fashions. Vegetables, fruit and wild flowers are all pressed into service as designs. A spray of cherries a fott long dangles from the side of a little mushroomshaped hat. Linings for spring cloaks are now made which flame with the vivid colors of tropical flowers.
