THE design shown this week Is
an example of inexpensive, mod
erate sized.- stone house con
struction in a small - town. All
lovers "of the beauty of natural Tug
ged stone will be sure to appreciate
this home. , .
The house, as . presented , in this
picture, has a somewhat pretentious
appearance, on account of the fairly
large corner lot and the setting of
fine shrubbery. However, it is not a
largs house. It Is an exceptionally
good example of a tyie of stone house
which Is economical to build, and
Which Is adaptable to the small town
or suburb, as well as to the large
city. It is especially effective when
built on' a lot which is wide enough
to afford space for the planting of
shrubbery around the foundation.
'This home serves also as an illustra
tion of how appropriate shrubbery
will give accent to the walls of rock
faced stone. The only cut stone used
la that of the door and window sills,
lintels, and the coping on the bay
window. For all of the rest of the
bouse Indiana limestone is used.
Simple, honest stone masonry of
this character is decidedly moderate
In cost and absolutely permanent. It
possesses a distinction-that mellows
and becomes enhanced in beauty with
ae. The grayed buff tone of the
Vails furnishes a most pleasing back
ground for the shrubbery. The roof,
which is of variegated red.: Spanish
tile, gives the desirable note of color.
A plain shingle or a slate roof could
be substituted for the tile, however,
In order to effect a saving in . cost.
Other attractive features of the ex
terior design are the ample stone
Chimney and the wide overhanging
et the eaves..
The house proper is 40 feet "wide
by about 88 feet deep. Including the
bay window extensions on each side
and the porches on the front and
'. back, the over-all width and depth
. are S by 48.
The walls, which are entirely of
tone, have a thickness of ten inches.

They are furred on the inslda -with
wood strips in the usual manner; ex
cept on the porches, where -limestone
forms the inside finish. Walls of pre
cisely similar : appearance. -; could be
laid up with a facing of stone, three
or four Inches in thickness, backed up
with brick or hollow tile of whatever
thickness is necessary to comply with
the requirements of ' any particular
building code or regulations. "Where
an eight-inch wall Is. permitted for
residences, a. .four-inch limestone fac
ing, bonded with eight-inch - stone
into " a four-inch backing of " brick,
would probably - be the usual prac
tice. '--.-. - . -
The porch on the front of the house
is partly inclosed- on the lower floor.
The sleeping porch above is fully In
closed. ' There -are two flights of
steps at the lower "front porch -one
from the walk leading out to the
front side-walk, and the other -from
the automobile driveway at ;the left
side of the house.. . , , ,
"On the first floor there is a large
center hall. The: living room, which
has an open; fireplace, is to the left,
and the dining room is to , the right.
This plan could be reversed, if it were
so desired. Back of tbe living room
there is a study, or library, and a
lavatory. Behind the dining room
there la a well-arranged pantry and
kitchen. At the end of the hall is a
breakfast room, or porch. The plan
is so arranged that the study and
breakfast room may be' shut off en
tirely from the front part of the
lower story, without obstructing the
stairway. This arrangement permits
the greatest privacy. .
In th second story there are three
good-sized bedrooms, all having am
ple closet space, two .bathrooms, a
maid's room and bath, and two sleep
ing porches. These porches could be
used as sun rooms instead of sleeping
porches.
The placement of the 'stairs in the
middle of the house makes them con
venient to all parts of the second
story. : .
.;-'. There is no attic tory, but the
space under the pitched roof is util
ized as an attic storage space by the
simple expedient of an enclosed stair
way at'the rear of the main stairway,
leading up to the same from the
second story hall.
. There is' a cellar under tHe entire
house. The well-arranged laundry is
entirely separated from the furnace
room. " . , ' -'.:'
Homes of this' type never age un
gracefully. This important point Is,
unfortunately, frequently overlooked
by home builders.
SOFA PILLOWS MADE IN FASCINATING .
VARIETY OF SHAPES AND MATERIAL NOW
. . . . - - . - - .
Perhaps One of Most Attractive Is That Made of Changeable Taffeta in Blue Shape Is Round With Edge
Finished With ' Double-bias Puffing WhichIs Four Inches Wide. -
BY CTDTILDE.
SOFA PILLOWS are made in a
more fascinating variety of
shapes and materials than ever
before. One sees them made of every
sort of material, from velvet and gold
taea to gingham and batiste.
Perhaps one -of the most attractive
f the new ones is that made of a
changeable taffeta in blue. It is a
round pillow with the edge finished
with a double bias puffing. This
putting is four inches wide. The cen
ter f the outside of the pillow, about
II Inches in diameter, is formed of
doubled one-half inch wide bias str'ps
f the taffeta, laced in and out, close
together. The edge of this latt'ce
work is covered with a one-half inch
Trid bias fold, and between this and
ths edge there is a shirred piece of
the silk with two covered cords, one
Inch apart.
To make this, one would cut a strip
f the taffeta three times the meas
ir of the outside edge of the p'llow.
Shirring lines are marked olt, evenly
on" this strip, having the tucks
through which the cords are run an
oven distance from each other and
from aca edge. The fold that covers
the latticed edge ' covers the inside
edge of this shirred piece as welL The
under side of the pillow 'a plain.
Another stunning pillow is oblong
in shape and is made of taffeta. With
out the four-inch wide puffing which
finishes the edge, the pillow meas
ures 27x15 inches. Around the edge
are three corded tucks, one inch apart.
The silk is measured for this the
same as for the shirring on the other
pillow. Then the space Inside these
shirred tucks is made of the taffeta
two clusters of shirred one-quarter
inch tuoks . set in across each end,
leaving an equal distance between the
clusters in the center and at the ends.
These fancy outsides should be made
on a thin cambric foundation cut the
exact size of the finished pillow. Put
the shirred tucks in the centerpiece
first and adjust and sew to the cam
bric, then put the shirred corded strip
on, letting the inside cord cover the
edge of the centerpiece. The under
side of these fancy cushions is usually
made plain.
Tailored bows, bunches of flowers,
and even little designs are sometimes
embroidered somewhere on . these
tops.- - - . ,
A long, melon-shaped pillow Is
mad of black satin. Each end of
ths pillow has a deep gathered hem
faced with rose colored1 satin. Two
bands of gold braid are sewed around
the pillow, near each end, and a
tailored bow in black is perched near
one end, just , inside of the gold braid.
Some pillows are cut crescent
shaped indeed, every shape one can
imagine is useii and if one Us pos
sessed of pieces of brocades, tapestry,
silk, satins, ribbons, heavy lace, or
something similar, most "wonderful
pillows may be made.

A Good Refrigerator Is as Much a Saving
Institution as a Bank
Every dollar's worth of food which yon can save with a good refrigerator this summer will be "just like
putting that many dollars in the bask. Food that spoils through lack of proper refrigeration, must be re
placed by other food that costs real money. Why not older a good refrigerator now and let it pay for
itself during the coming summer? -' ' '

No refrigerator is better than its insulation. And
in no part of the refrigerators is there greater dif
ference than in the kind of insulation used' and the
way it is used. Defective insulation wastes ice and
interferes with the efficiency of the refrigerator just
as much as defective cylinders waste gasoline and
prevent perfect operation of an automobile. Herrick
Fivo Point Insulation offers you . five important
advantages. It is positively air-tight and weather
proof makes foods and ice last longer. It is a most
successful non-conductor of heat , or cold keeps
. warm air out and cold air in. It neither admits o
alows animal life to exist in v it sanitary clear
through. It cannot' decay, mildew, or become affected
by age doea not lose., its effectiveness. It is the
