ARCHITECTURAL IDEAS FOR THE MODERATE HOME BUILDER
THE WISE AND OLD-FASHIONED
MOTHER A BOON TO MODERNS
She Furnishes the Necessary Balance for the
-Daughter Whose Ideas Are "Advanced" Far
Beyond the Past Generation
COME ONB has very wisely nald tlmt
there Is nothing finite so vnltiublo to
the ultrn-modcrti girl an a wNo nnd gentle
old-fashioned mother. Could anything bo
truer?
AlthoURh when the feminine part of a
family Is thus divided ngatnst Itself there
I hound to ho friction, It 1.1 a moro for
tunate thing for the girl, In the long run,
than the possession of a maternal pnrent
whoso modernity equals her own.
The modern git I, who linn all ForU of
dvanred and unusual conception of life,
Its problem, Its moials nnd conventions,
needs something to balance Imr or the
peed at which hc Is going will swing
her over too far on the radical side. The
necessary bnlanco Is fntnMied by tlm
mother, who still retains a few tato Vic.
torlan prejudices With the coming of
the next generation perhaps lampant
feminism will have found Itself and be
come thoroughly adjusted to the new llfo
opening up.
H1HI2 girl so often adopts the Mime at
x tltude toward her mother that the
man adopts toward his wife. The things
other women do ho ndmlres, their revolu
tionary Ideas, thoir extreme clothes, their
artificial faces, but of his wife he demands
conservatism, quietness of dress, natural,
ncss of face. The modern git I mav feel
herself at liberty to run to extirmes, to
discuss birth control In open sessions, to
rmoke, but she rather expects her mother
to bo different, for being old fashioned
these days Is being dirfctent.
IJm: tradition of what girls should be
and do has changed morn in the last
quarter of a century than In tho pre
ceding hundred years. Vearly they aro
being brought up as much like their
brothers ns It Is possible for them to be.

Bridal Presents
To the Editor of tConintt's Page
D-ar Madam- Imitation for my wedJlnc
have been sent out and I luito reeclted it num
ber of presents. I hid been told that only those
who are asked to the houso usually stad pres
ents. Now, I hate revived twenty presents from
persons who hate only been ask"d to the church.
Do you think there baa been some mistake and
that I should eend the presents back?
unim:-TO nn.
There Is no rule about wedding presents.
Very often ptrsons who are invited to the
reception do not send any, and there In no
obligation fdr them to do bo. Of course. If
persons who are only Invited to the church
wish to rend presents It Is a very lovely
thing to do. There Is no misunderstanding
about It; they simply want to send you
something for your new) home. It would be
a dreadful breach of etiquette to return the
presents. Write a very cordial and appre
ciative note to each ono, thanking, him or
her.

Wants Hair Dobbed
To ( Editor of Woman' Past!
Dear Madam la It advisable for a young girl
eighteen years of age to wear her hair bobbed
short, and Is It still In style? My hair Is very
thick and only reachea below my shoulders. Do
you think It would make my hair thinner, by
wearing It nobbed short? I do not .like It ao
thick. Would you please state which la the best
style or way (a have the hair cut short If you
think It la advisable? I have headaches at
times which I think are from the hair being too
thick. MArtOARJ?r.

ADVICE
Iy
IN' TIIIJ Klietch shown above we hate at
tempted to design a boiie which covers
a small fatntl.t's iniulreinents as to nr
r.iiigeinent and size if rooms, in as Incx
pensite n manner as possible, and yet keep
ing In mind that both Interior and exterior
shnuld lie plciplng In npptarance.
We begin by laying off a rpace approxi
mately squnre, as a honn of this form is
tlio least expenslte This siiunto Is nf a
fi.n wnicn, considering desired cost anil
door spnep. wo have thought to be most
sultnble. Then wm havo proceeded to divide
our square Into room"
Wo find that while all f the seeond-donr
space Is neeesnry for the it quired number
of bedrooms, closets etc , tho llrst-lloor
space seems too generous In comparison;
so wo Incoipointe the porch In our square.
lly doing so the expense of a porch beyond
tho house Is sated and the exterior of tho
houso becomes more compact and snug In
appearance, itv imposing the porch with
tasli, which can lie removed nnd replaced
with screens In summer, a verv pleasant
and useful space Is nddeil with little extra
e.xpenre.
The t.irlnus rooms Ime been laid out
to meet their particular purpoios There Is
ample lounging space around the lltlng
room flro. also ample room for a t.iblo
on which to place a lamp, magaylnes or
books: a corner for the piano, a window
seat nnd it casement door, through which
we obtain a lew of the Inclosed porch,
with Its plants nnd wicker furniture A
wide opening, slmplv designed, with square
posts on evich Hide, lends to the dining
room, which Is roomv enough by reason
of space hating been provided for the
sideboard and It has a window seat which
could If desired be made into a wldo sill

PATSY KILDARE,
OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
(in omes
B
morning I took some money nut of my
father's pocket nnd slopped through tho rnjn
up to the store and got some peaches and
sardines and a bottle of milk. I ate them
all nnd then I took a pickle In my hand nnd
wo rambled up to Old .Maid Tompkins and
mot my schoolteacher on the way, and she
had on a rubber coat nnd a hood and her
checks were red and some, of her hair stuck
out of her hood and she looked fine. I told
her so and she thanked mo I told her not
to thank me, but to thank Clod, for He did It
She said, "Aren't you wet through, I'atsy?"
I said, "If I'm not it Isn't my fault "
She said, "Won't ou catch cold?" I
said, "I neter had a cold" she said, "I
didn't really believe you had, for you aro
llting the kind nf life that nature Intended
for us I havo been thinking that perhaps
I might borrow jou from jour father next
tnratlon and you and I nnd Howdy might
go away up in the hills and run wild." I
said, "What will wo bo wild about?" She
said. "I Just mean live outdoors Would
you like that?" I said, "Yes"
She said sho would call at my house some
day and would tell us some stories about
fairies and gnomes. I said ''What are they?''
She said, "Fairies are so small that they can
hide In a morning glorj blossom and gnomes
nre always digging under tho ground, only,
of course, thcro aren't any such thing" I
said, "They aro like ghosts, only there nren't
nny ghots." She' said, "Vou get tho Idea."
So she went and we went and pretty soon
we came to Old Maid Tomptlns's and old
Maid Tompkins said, "If there Is anything
I abomlnnte it is a wet dog, but before you
go I will read you n story What shall It
be nbout7" "A fairy or a gnome," said
I. Sho said, "If you don't want to hear my
story you need not, but you must say, Wo,
ma'am,' not 'Xo'm.' " I said, "My teacher
said 'gnome.'" She said, 'That makes no
difference, 'So, ma'am,' Is correct." Well,
my teacher doesn't give mo tarts, so I lot
It go at that.
We went swimming nnd by the time I got
homo my father had gone watching. I was
kind of homesick for hliu, so I went down
to tho bank, and he gave me a dime nnd
told me to go across the street and get an
Ice cream sody, and I did. Then I went
back and he made me up a bed out of a
couple of old otercoats In the basement and
Rowdy and I lay down
I prayed, "Dear mother, here I am and
my father Is hero with me, only he Is In
some other part of the bank punching his
clock. Please don't send the baby sister
tonight, for nobody is at homo. Amen."
Then I lay down and tried' to go to sleep.
Dut when I got my ear close to the floor
I could hear the gnomes, or no ma'ams,
digging, and then I was excited and I .shall
certainly tell my teacher that she Is wrong
when she says there aro no gnomes, for I
have heard them. Howdy growled so much
that I knew he heard them, too.

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
SOMETHING IS MISSING!
By Farmer Smith
Hverythlng was hustle and bustle!
Bugles were sounding.- Soldiers were ,seur
rylng here and there and horses were Jump
ing to their places.
What did it all mean?
Our old friend Billy Humpus was stand
ing on a little hill overlooking the scene
and wondering what It all meant.
"I guess this Is war." he was thinking,
as a tr.op of soldiers hurried past him on
the run. "I must wait until my company
comes nlong and then I will fall In. How
soldler-liki; I'm getting!"
Suddenly Hilly thought of something
he waited until all the troops had passed
and then he said to himself: "I guess this
will be a good time to get something to
eat. This Is the one place In all the tVorld
where.lt Is hard for me to get food. When
the soldiers are nil gone Is the time for me
to get something to nil that dear little
stomach of mine, Iti seems as though I
had not eat.n for days and days."
Off trotted Billy until lie came to a tent
which was larger and better than the others.
'This must be the general's tent." he was
thinking, when all of a sudden he caught
Bight of an alarm clock standing on a little
table In front of the tent. "I don't feel
llko eating an alarm clock this morning,
for. It I .'do. It might go oft In my stomach
when I was asleep," he said, out loud. "I

will cas,t my e.yo around and see If there
isn't something elc that will fill me up."
On tho tablo wero some blue prints nnd
papers. "Ah I wonder what those blue
things for," Hilly nsked himself, looking
around to seo If any one was near. To his
surprise ho saw tho guard marching silently
up nnd down.
"It heems as though thero was always
something In this world to stand between
you nnd what you want," thought Hilly,
as he went up nearer tho table and took
a good look at tho bluo prints nnd tho
papers.
"I wonder If It would make me blue If
I ato that bluo paper?" he was asking him
self, "The best way to find out Is to eat
a tiny bit and then t.ee what happens."
With that he started nibbling the paper.
"I wonder what those fiinnv lines nrC" he
was thinking, when all of a sudden he saw
the guard coming after him.
Away ho went, carrying tho papers with
him. "HALT"' shouted a voice behind him.
Then thero was a shot.
Billy Humpus had ran away with tho
general's maps!
Answer to a Child's Question
Do you ask what tho birds say? The spar
row, tho dote,
The linnet nnd thrush say, "I love and I
loe !"
In the winter they're silent the wind Is so
strong ;
What It snss, I don't know, but It sings a
loud song
But green leaves, and blossoms, nnd sunny
watm weather.
And singing nnd lotlng pall come back to
gether. t
But tho lark Is so brimful of gladness and
loe,
The green fields below him, the bluo sky
aliot e,
That ho sings, nnd he sings, atjd for' ever
sings he
"I lote my l.ote. and my I.ove loves me!"

Neurasthenic
NnUIUSTIin.N'IA often begins In child
hood. Multitudes of children nre made
neurasthenic by wrong methods of educa
tion, especially by the neglect of physical
development, nnd by Improper discipline In
the school or In the home. Doubtless most
of theo young neurasthenics nro predis
posed to neuroses by heredity Tho propor
tion of such children to, tho total school
population Is unquestionably Increasing. It
Is consequently of tho highest Importance
that preventive measures should be applied
nt an enrlv period, nnd especially that In
fluences calculated to develop the neuras
thenic tendency should bo suppressed.
Children predisposed to neurasthenia
should bo brought up from tho very start
In strict harmony wllh slinplo llfo prin
ciples. Diet, clothing, sleep and exerclso
should all bo regulated with the most care
ful regntd for tho physical needs of tho
child. Ments. condiments, tea. coffee, pastry
nnd confectionery, for which things neu
rasthenic children nro especially likely to
acquire n fondness, should bo strictly with
held. Tho child should spend every possible
moment of his llfo In tho open air and
should sleep In a fresh-nlr sleeping room
nt all seasons of tho year. Nourasthenlo
children need tho benefit of tho open-air
school as much aa do tubercular children,
nnd they profit as greatly by It.
Veurnsthenlc children have n Fpeclal ten
denev to tho formation nf perverso sexual
