WILLIAM A. Editor

Mr. 'William A. Radford will answer questions and plve advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining toTtha - Bubject 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. 194 Fifth Ave., Chicago. 111., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. It is true that many thousands of city dwellers who have in the natural love of the country a love for a home with grounds and gardens are unable to have what they desire for various reasons, principally because of a lack of means. City dwellers are compelled for the most part to live in flats or apartments with never a look at trees or grass. Privacy, so much to be desired. Is shut off by a common hallwky, and the tramping of feet overhead is a constant reminder that the place is not a home but merely a place to-stay. The whole idea of the builders of city “homes” is to economize space and get all the rooms possible on a given piece of ground in order to gain revenue. All sight is lost of thejirtistlc, and everything must bend to the one purpose of income. The occupants live along and constantly dream of a little cottajge with a few vines and a garden place in the back yard, and a place for the children to play where they will not be under the constant espionage of % janitor with a grouch. This is all wrong and it is unnecessary. You may' be a salaried man. You may think you cannot do any different. You have not the money to buy the ground it is true and authorise a builder to put you up a house Buch as you want. You have always thought that even If you bought a house you must take one already made by some real estate firm and pay their high price. Now, listen. The real estate man has selling expense. He has advertis-’ ing bills, office rent, clerk hire, maintenance of salesmen, and many other expenses in addition to his profit that figure in the price of any given house.

It is safe to say that this real estate man would be glad to eliminate this expense if he could make a deal that did not* involve all these factors. He builds to 6ell. Suppose you were to take to him the plan of the house shown here and say: “Now, you are in the business of building and selling houses on small payments. You want your customers satisfied. Probably you are going to build a number of houses in the next feW months. Now, here is a house that just suits me. If you will build it I will take it on the same terms you would ask for one that you might build from some other plan. I will sign the contract now.” There is no probability that the ordinary real, estate man would refuse

your terms. And what would y6u hare? You would have the same house you would get If you owned a lot and built on It Now, the house shown here Is one of the popular bungalow type of houses and 13 especially attractive on account of the 1 fact that the porch Is Included under the roof of the house. Nor is it expensive. Ths houre Is thirty-one feet six Inches wide and thirty-three feet long. It has an attractive porch with strong lines. The design is one that will

make every person look at the house as he passes by and it is one that will always sell If at any future time conditions should arise that would cause you to want to dispose of it. That you cannot do with a house that has no individuality like this one. There Is a large living-room sixteen feet square and at the right of this is the dining room thirteen ' feet six inches by twelve feet in dimensions. The kitchen Is reached from the dining room through a passageway. This is a good arrangement, for the reason that all smoke and steam from the kitchen will be kept out of the dining room. One of the good features about

Second Floor Plan.

this house is the fact that it is well lighted and every room will be bright and cheery. The second floor Is reached by a stairway leading from the living room. On this floor are two bedrooms, which, with the one on the first floor provides three in all. The bathroom Is located at the end of a hall that extends through the house, thus assuring plenty of air on summer nights through the windows at each end. An unusual arrangement, and one that will appeal to every housewife. Is the fact that there are six closets In this

house, providing plenty of storage places.

Anti-Handshaking Society.

In Paris they have been seriously discussing the advisability of forming an anti-handshaking society. Its members, so it is suggested, should oiily be pledged to avoid this form of salutation during the summer months. But when once it is started it is believed, and sincerely hoped, that the practice of grasping all and sundry by the hand will be permanently discouraged. There is a good deal to be said on both sides. __ To have a hot and moist hand clasp one’s own on a day when one is already suffering all that seems possible from the teat is distinctly trying, to say the least. Furthermore, there are many people whose handshake leaves one with a feeling of having touched a fish or something creepy-crawly. One looks forward to their clasp, if it can so be described, with a positive sense of horror, and it is almost with difficulty thpt one refrains from coveitly wiping the hand after the operation.—London Lady’s Pictorial.

Consort for Kaiser’s Daughter.

Princess Victoria Luise, the only daughter of the Kaiser, recently attained her majority. She is 18 years old. Germans think that they have nor long to wait before hearing what prince has won the heart 8110* hand of the Kaiser's daughter. Her name ha* been frequently connected with those of the ex-King of Portugal, and an Austrian archduke, but the intense Lutheranism Is considered a bar to the Princess’s union with any nonBrotestant prince.

TO VARY THE MENU

SOME SIMPLE DAINTIES THAT ARE EASILY PREPARED. lea Cream That Takes But Little Time to Get Ready for the Table—Rice Water Jelly— For Lincoln Pie. Fine Ice Cream. —One pint milk, one cup sugar, -two tablespoons flour, one saltspoon salt, one egg, one pint to one quart cream (or milk), onehalf to one cup sugar, one tablespoon flavor; boil the milk, mix the sugar, flour, salt and egg and cook 20 mlnutes after egg, sugar, flour and salt are added to the boiling milk. This Is cheap and fine. Fowl in Batter.—Take the remains of a cold fowl, divide into neat joints, remove all skin, dip each piece into seasoned flour, rub over with a little salad oil and set aside. Prepare a good frying batter, dip each piece of fowl into it and fry in deep fat. Serve round a pile of peas or French beans. Rice Water Jelly.—Wash two and a half tablespoonfuls of rice in several waters and cqok in a quart of water for one hour, or until the rice is entirely dissolved. Add a pinch of salt. Sweeten to taste. Stir in the juice of one or two lemons. Strain into a mold and when cold serve with sugar and cream. This Is an excellent dish for children and invalids. • Lincoln Pie. —One pint stewed sour apples, sifted; butter size of an egg, two tablespoons flour, grated rind and juice of a lemon, yolks of three eggs, beaten. Sweeten to taste. Bake with lower crust, and when done spread a meringue of the whites of three eggs, beaten with three tablespoons sugar over the top, and brown in oven. Honey.—Pare and grate three large quinces. Make a syrup of three pints of sugar and 1% pints of water. Boil together about twenty minutes.

Swiss Dumplings.

One pound sausage bought at a German delicatessen store, as the others will not do. Remove from skins and to it add one egg, salt and pepper, tablespoon of flour and one-quarter loaf of bread which has been soaked in milk and then pressed thoroughly till quite dry. Mix well together and form In balls about the size of large marbles. Drop in boiling water, salted, and cook until they float. Now remove to a dish and make a butter sauce. Melt a piece of butter size of an egg and add a tablespoon of flour. When well blended, add slowly, stirring all the time, clear beef stock or the liquid the dumplings were boiled In, enough to just cover them. "When the consistency of cream, put in dumplings and reheat. A little boiled cauliflower added Is very nice.

Red Pepper Sweet Pickle.

Soak the peppers in boiling water about twet: / minutes, then lay in cold brine o.er night to draw out the crude juices of the vegetable. Cut in thin slices, discarding, all the seeds and stringy pulp, and make into a sweet pickle, precisely as pears, apples or peaches are pickled. A standard'formula for this is three pounds of sugar, a pint of cider vinegar, two tablespoons each of whole cloves, allspice and cinnamon. Scald all together and cook until the' pepper is tender. Remove the peppers and cook the syrup long enough to thicken slightly, then pour over the sliced pepper. This is an excellent relish with roasted meat.

Bread Pudding.

One pint bread crumbs. One cup sugar. Grated peel of one lemon. Yolks four eggs. One quart of milk. Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk about 15 minutes, then add the yolks of eggs well beaten, the grated lemon peel and sugar. Beat all well together and bake about half an hour. After the pudding is baked cover it with a layer of jelly and then with the meringue made of the whites of the eggs beaten stiff, with four tfv blespoonfuls of sugar. Return to oveh and brown delicately.

Cauliflower Pudding.

Drain, add one cupful bf one-half cupful of the milk, the same of thick sweet cream, the well beaten yolks of four eggs, one-ha’f teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of ground mace and a dash of cayeune, two tablespoonfuls of soft butter and the juice of half a lemon. Mix well, pour into a buttered pudding dish and bake in a slow oven until firm.

Sweet Apples With Cider.

. Pare, core and slice sweet apples and stew sloWly In sweet cider. I also add good cup of sugar and some stick cinnamon to every gallon of cider. Resembles quince sauce and is delicious. I am somewhat slow sending you a recipe, but sure, nevertheless.

Popcorn Pudding.

Roll 1 pint of freshly popped corn. Add to it 1% pints milk, % cup sugar, 8 eggs, well-beaten, and a little salt and nutmeg. Bake like a custard about 20 minutes.

PROPER CARE OF MATTRESS

Bedding Not Hard to Keep In Condition. Though Constant Care Is Necessary. An Immaculate ipattress is mpr* than the Bign of a good housewife. It Is essential to good health. Even a clean sheet will not keep a sensitive person from shrinking If the mattress looks queer. i There need be little excuse for any dust If care be taken. Every mattress should have a twilled muslin cover that buttons on, so that it can be frequently washed. If a mattress Is for a big double bed It should be in two parts for easier turning. The extra-careful housewife pulls the mattress up over the footboard each morning, so that it airs on all sld?s. It should at least be turned once a day, not always in the same direction. This prevents the ugly ridge when two are sleeping in the bed. Rubber sheeting should be used unjler the linen in cases of sickness. In an emergency folded newspapers are a good substitute. The easiest way to clean a mattress is by the vacuum cleaner. If it must'be done at home, put It In a slightly dampened sheet and beat with a wicker carpet beater until all the dirt seems to be out; then take a new sheet, turn the mattress and repeat.

AMERICAN PATE DE FOI GRAS

Imitation of European Delicacy That Is Easily Within the Reach of All. Take 1 pound of beef liver, 1 large onion (cut Into quarters), 3 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs (I use sage and sweet marjoram), 4 or 5 cloves, and 2 or 3 dashes of nutmeg. Cook slowly about 20 minutes. Be careful that it does not stick or burn. Strain off the liquid. There should be only a little. Now remove skin and coarse parts from liver —and run liver through meat gTinder (or grade It If you have no grinder). It should be light and fluffy like meal. Add the liquid, a little white pepr«*r. a pinch of cayenne and anotner teaspoon of mixed herbs. Knead together like dough and add one-half cup melted butter, salt to taste, put into a large cup (I use jelly glasses), and set In a pan of hot water on the stove for a few minutes. When hot 1 through take up, cover with buttered paper and put on the cover of glass. Set In a cool place 3 or 4 hours. This will have the consistency of firm table butter.

Fish and Lemon Sauce.

Take a three-pound fish. Clean, cut and sprinkle with salt. Leave for three hours; cut fine one good, mediumsized onion, let simmer in a tablespoonful of butter, add one pint of boiling water, pinch of ginger, pepper, mustard; put in the fish, boil slow 20 minutes. Sauce—Beat well the yolks of six eggfe, juice of three lemons; add the hot gravy from fish to yolks and lemons, stirring well, so eggs will not curdle; then put back on stove, let come to a boil, and place fish in a dish, pour sauce over, put away to cool; garnish with lettuce leaves, add one tablespoonful of chopped parsley to sauce.

Sweet Pickled Pears.

Ten pounds of good sound pears, not quite ripe. Wipe them apd remove the blossom end. Peel and cook in boiling water until tender. Remove fruit and strain the water. Take 1 quart of this water, add to it 1 quart of vinegar, 5 pounds of sugar and g cup of mixed whole cloves, allspice, mace and stick cinnamon. Put it on to boil for half an hour, then add the pears, and when well scalded remove them and pack in glass jars. Boil sirup down until there is enough to cover the fruit. Pour it over and seal at once. Tie the cinnamon and mace in a muslin bag, but put cloves and allspice in whole.

Home Economy.

To prevent raisins or currants from dropping to the bottom of the pan first put in a layer of dough without them, and then add the dough to which the raisins, well flavored, have been mixed. * A splendid filling for soft cushions may be made by taking a dime's worth of cotton batting, cutting it Into small squares, and heating .it .in a bakifag pan in the oven for half an hour, care being taken not to let it scorch. Each little square will puff up to twice its size, and wall be as light and fluffy as a feather.

Artistic Cheese.

The next time you have cheese with your salad try the effect of cutting tiny rounds of red pepper about a quarter of an inch tnick and filling the center with cream cheese. These rings should be prepared several hours before using and be kept on the ico until very cold. Pass as ordinary cheese with crackers.

Scratched Paint.

If you are distressed to find that some careless person has scratched the new white paint With a match rubbing the darkened surface with part of a cut lemon. Unless the wood has been burned the discoloration Is removed.

Cocoanut Cookies.

One cup of grated eocoanpt; 1% cups of sugar, % cup butter, ft cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 large teaspoon of baking powder, ft teaspoon extract vanilla, and flour enough to roll out.

A Comer in Ancestors

Cabell, Cabelle and Cable are the present day forms of this name, which/ has had a variety of orthographies.' To mention a few: Cabbie, Cabbell, Caple, Rebel, Keeble, Keppel, Kipling, Giblen, 'Gavila and Gabilo are also given as from the same root, whatever the root may be. Caballus is a name in Domesday Book, and it means a horse. Men took theii* names in various ways. The first Caballus was thus called, doubtless on account of his prowess as a horseman, and the black shield which he carried, was blazoned with a horse rampant, argent, with bit and bridle of gold. Walter Caballus of Normandy went to England at the time of the conquest, and was given manors in Wiltshire, How Capel is a parish in Here-

Cabell

fordshire, Gilbert de Cabel is a name of the twelfth century. St John of Frome is the name of a church in Somerset, and the chapel, founded by John Cabell, has a window blazoned with the arnjs illustrated in this story. Jean Cabibel of Brassac was a Huguenot refugee. —The Cabells have ever been men of affairs, and prime movers in shaping the destinies of our country, both under the crown and the republic. Dr. William Cabell, the Virginia Pilgrim, was- born in England, Warminister, 1700. He died at Warminister, Va., and was the ancestor of the Cabells of Virginia, a family of distinguished men and accomplished women. Not only were the Cabells of this line active in helping to build up Virginia towns, but they were settlers

Bartholomew is a name, meaning son of Tholmai, or Talmai. To analyze it —bar, in Syriac, as ben in Hebrew means son, and tholmai or talmai is from a Hebrew root, meaning to furrow, or cut. __ _ The Tholmai, or one so named, was he who worked in the fields, and his son, was Ben, or Bar Tholmai, or Bartholmai, or Bartalmai in Hebrew, which in course *of time became the Bartholomew of today. From the same roots we have Bartelot. Bartll and Bartlett. Variations of Bartholomew are Barthelemy, Bartumly, Barthumley and Bartelmewe. In France the name is Bartholmee; In Spain, Bartolomeo; in Italy, Bartholomeo; in Portugal, Bartolmeu; in Russia, Varfolomei. A brother of Christopher Columbus, who was with him on his voyage of discovery, was named Bartolomeo, or Bartolome Colon, and this is a town In San Domingo, thus named for him. William Bartholomew, born, ICO2, at Burford, England, married Anna Lord, and they are the forebears of the line tracing back to New England. William came over in the “Griffin,” and was first at Boston; about 1636, he Was a freeman of Ipswich, where he had much land. He wrote his name indifferently Bartylmi, Bartholmew (without the second "o”), or Bartholomew (the letter having an extra flourish was the Pmidav spelling, maybe.) It is an ungrateful descendant who asks for a better record than William can give. He had been here only seevn months, when he was chosen to represent the town of Ipswich, at Boston. He was town clerk, and it is recorded that he was to be “payed for his pavnes.” He took part in the trial of Anne Hutchinson, whom he knew when she was in London, and he was free to acknowledge that the views she entertained were, to say the least, peculiar, although he was inclined to Judge her not too harshly. He died 1681, and the inventory of his property shows that among other articles, hejrad a “blew rugg, an olde carpett and two earthen juggs ” What hard work they made of spelling in those days! He is buried at Charlestown, near Boston, and bis grave is beside that of John Harvard William Bartholomew was a man of mark in his day; he had a good education, and acquired much property.

Bartholomew Family

in southern states, and also in western states. Dr. Williams wife was Elizabeth Burks. In 1726, or about two years after landing in Virginia, he was sheriff of Henrico county, and by virtue of his office, one of the first men of the country, and “superior to any nobleman while he held office.” Doctor Cabell returned to England, where he remained several years, engaged in settling the estate of his rich old aunt, Joan Grant. For their descendants, who aspire to membership with patriotic societies, it must be recorded that the doctor’s son, William, was member of militia and justice of the peace; from 1757 to 1761, he was in the house of burgesses, and he and other members, George Washington being one, subscribed funds for the introduction of silk and wine making in Virginia. It was Colonel William’s son, Samuel Jordan Cabell, whose name is recorded in Heitman’s “Officers of the Revolution.” Col. Joseph Cabell, son of Doctor William, was a large land owner, both in Virginia and Kentucky—broad acres have been heritages of the Cabells, the pilgrim’s holdings running up into the thousands of aerqs. Colonel Joseph was a Revolutionary soldier. Colonel John, son of Doctor William, was member of the convention of 1775. Edward Cabell* soldier, was in Col. George Washington’s regiment, 1754. Nelson, Lancaster and Charles City counties, Va., have always been Cabell strongholds, and among marriage connections may be named the Mayos, Briscoes, Randolphs and McClellands. The New England forefather was John Cable 4 or Cabell of Massachusetts, 1631. He was a seafaring man and helped to capture a Dutch vessel off the coast, and was awarded a prize of’ five pounds. In 1669 he was a freeman, and IS years later he died. To his “loving Cabell," he left the “use of his house and lands.” His son John was a freeman of Fairfield, Conn. A Samuel Cabell was living at New Haven, 1646, and 60 years later George Cabell is recorded at Boston. The Cabells were also pioneers of Maine. The illustrated coat-of-arms is Blazoned quarterly: First and fourth,: sable, a horse rampant, argent, bridled, or; second and third, azure, ten estoiles, or, four, three, two and one. Crests: First; an arm In armor embowed, grasping a sword, proper. Second, a crescent argent, surmounted by an estoile, or. - Motto; Impavide—Be unappalled. This is the coat-armor ascribed to the pilgrim Cabell of Virginia and Ms descendants.

His wife died three years later, an£ they left three children. One, Mary, married, first, Matthew Whipple; second, Jacob Greene, Henry, brother of William the first, married, in 1640, Elizabeth Scudder, of Boston. Henry is called a London merchant before coming. here. He lived at Salem, where he numbered his acres by the hundreds, and held many offices. As town clerk,, his records were faithfully and correctly kept. He was generous and broadminded in a bigoted age. With one other—probably his brother William—he patriotically advanced

Descendants of Tils daughters are found ih New York state, and In the v^est. William, son of the first William Bartholomew, lived at Woodstock, Conn. He may have been a soldier in Philip’s war. His daughter Abigail v(as carried by the,lndians to Canada, and kept a prisoner for nearly a year, or until ransomed for £2OO. He had a son Andrew, and his descendant of the fourth generation was Francis cook Bartholomew • of Wallingford, Coup., born 1821, who married Erry Anne Lee, and in due time, after her death, led to the altar, Jennie Harrison. family has always been represeuted in Maryland ahd Virginia.
