THE WEST SHORE.
A LITTL8 SINN HI!.
Mttle Ooldlooka ut on a orickot at har
mamma's foot, hearing papa read the Bible. He
read all about the Hood, and the ark, and Noah,
and the animals. When papa shut up the
t U, Ooldlooka sat with her chubby hands
folded thinking very hard.
"The rain fell and fell," she aaid to heraelf,
"and then the ark went into the deep water,
and Noah and his folks and all the oattle and
sheepe went, too. If Jimmy will be Noah, 1
will be Noah's wife, and we oan have the Ut h-
tub for the ark, and the shower-bath will make
rain nough, I guess.
Ooldlooka didn't aay one word out loud, but
she eat there on her orioket, thinking and think
ing. At last after everybody had left the room
she went to look np Jimmy. He waa only four
years old, and (ioldlooki waa aix. You am,
she waa two years older than her little brother,
and ought not to have led him into misohief.
"Want to make a Hood, Jimmy?" asked
UoHMtm
"What kind of a fnd?"
"Why, like Noah's! We'll play that all the
folks in the houae are naughty, ami we are good ;
and I 'apoae we might have the canary for a
dove, aud the geranium for an olive-tree to light
on. Come up here to the bath-room, and 1'U
show you."
So off trotted that littlo miachief of a (sold

fiit legs would carry her, and Jimmy trottod
after her.
"Now, I'll show you," she aaid. Then she
got into tha bath tub. Hut aha aoon saw that
shn wasn't in the right place.
"The wicked folks ought to be in here," she
said, " oauao the good onea didn t got wet.
We'll have the clothes basket lor tbe ark."
Ho Jimmy 0 limbed into tho basket, and (iold
locks turned on the sliower-nain.
"Whore am the bad onos?" asked Jimmy
"We'll have the gray oat for one," said Onld
lucks, "'cause she scratchod me t'other day."
"She acratchad me two, free, aix times,' aaid
Jimmy.
Then Ooldlooka oaught tbe gray oat and took
her oldest dollies, and pat them in the Hood.
Jimmy sat in the ark, and laughed and clapped
In hands. Kitty didn't like being a sinner in
the Hood, and ahe strugglod hanl to get out
but the little girl held her down stoutly.
"Jumn oat of tha ark. Jimmy," she said
"and open the bird-cage door; we must have a
dove. 1 00 can climb on ino sewing marmot.
Munmi let Dick out uuite often."
Jimmy obeyed, and then ran hack to Ma
refuge But just aa he waa safely seated in his
ark then waa a splash and a ory, and nothing
waa left of Miss Ooldlooka but her feet sticking
up in the air. She had fallen into the Hoot

drowned cat rushed out as mamma opened the
door, and the canary came very near going too.
"What's all thud" aaked the mother, aa aha
pulled poor streaming (lokllooka from the
water.

"A,., I I .... sot to be Noah's wife,'' said (iold
locks, "and the oat waa one of tbe sinners."
"And you got into tha sinner's plecef aaid

Hobba A Hons, of Philadelphia, which may
please some of our readers, who enjoy the or.
ameutal iu house building. Although this
design inclines toward the elaborate and the
ornate iu the style of its Hnish, there is nothing
excessive or not in keeping with the general
plan. It ia well adapted for a suburban or vil
lage cottage, rather than fur a more etrictly
rural situation. It form gives the exterior a
variety of outlinea which would distinguish it
from most village housea aa they are commonly
designed.

( 'oncoming painting a houae with such a varied
outline and uneven aurfaoa, the architects write
us aa follows 1 "The paint should be ouly of one
color, and truat to nature by the force of shade,
sunshine and reflection to gild, darken and
playfully light up and tint the various parts,
whiah aha dooo with far more delicacy than the
patchy red blues and other striped colors, we
so often see disfiguring otherwise good and
beautiful designs."
It should be remembered when the mind ie
occupied with ornament in architecture that
good architeoture oniuuata in so arrauglng the
Cirts, their projeotioue, highta ami uantitise
pi ...luce the effect of fltneea, propriety and
elegance, not in having a handsome cornice, an
eiiiieite bracket ur any dalioate carvings, but
a oortain modesty should pervade the whole
and uothlng should stand forth eo ostentatious.
