Since we have to deal with an English handling of the exterior of tide home, suppose we consider how it would be to have an English feeling In the in terior arrangements. Our English cousins naturally prefer the open fire place, and the fireplace in this home should be a real one, capable of burn ing wood or coal. The fireplace tit tinge need not be of brass; Its Cars demands too much time from our bustling American day. Excellent andirons, tongs and buckets can be )>.id tn flulshee which look well and do i. >t demand the care that bright brass fit tings do. Our furniture In this home gives a wide choice. Hickory or maple furniture In the modern replicas of early American designs, a wing arm, chair for the flreplace corner, flowered wall paper, woodwork painted or var nished or stained, and framed hunting scenes or old prints of the days of crinoline and stocks—all these would be very timely here. Our window cur tains should not be too elaborate, plain material will appear to the best advantage. And if one wished to, the ceilings could be timbered to show visibly like the outer walls and the living room or dining room paneled In wood In a way that would bring remi niscences of long ago.

It Is doubtful whether In nny coun try attention has been devoted to the cottage and small residence in much the same way as In England. There la something “homely” In the right English sense of the word about the English type of cottage or small house; It snuggles down Into its surroundings and becomes one with the other details of the landscape. In the cottage bungalow Illustrated the timbered handling of the gable ends lends character to the stucco ex terior and variety Is gained still furth er by Intelligent handling of the brick details. One would look naturully for a weathered brown finishing of the ex posed timbering, and It may be said In thia connection that this timbering Is not a necessary requisite for the wall; the effect of timbering can be I Fearful and Wonderful Mixture Whloh the Chinese Compound for the “Foreign Devil." The ingredient« of what the Chinese candidly call, In pidgin English, "lie" tea, are chiefly pulverised quartz, dry leaves, magnetic oxide of Iron, and tine dark sand. These materials are carefully blended, and a kind of glue of starch poke Is added, the tiny pel lets being prodded Into fragmenta of the shape and size of the particular tea to be Imitated. If gunpowder tea Is to be faked, the pellets are colored with turmeric, clay and Prussian blue. Wholesome Groceries > G. C.

The windows help carry out the quaint character of the exterior, In a cottage bungalow of this type one should refrain from using any of the more modern fancy type of windows. Casement windows would go very well here, and if the housewife wishes to overlook the extra care that dlamond- paned leaded glass casement» require, she would be the gainer by having her windows help out to the last degree her endeavor to make her bouse a quaintly comfortable home. After all, with casement windows or the plain sliding sash type, choice depends al together upon fitness; where one type fits la the best, there Is the place to see that It Is lnstslled. There are six rooms. Including the sun porch, for the letter Is really In tegral with the bouse. Realization of this fact comes when you note the ar rangement of the fireplace; It la not fa the living room but In the sun porch. For this reason it may be pref erable to have the dividing wall be tween the sun porch and the living room removed, or treated with glass doors ia such a way as to permit the least unobstructed view and passage from sue room to the other. The dining room Is off the son porch and the living room and Its three win dows give excellent light and ventila tion. The pantry la between it and the kitchen, permitting room for a service Shelf to save the housewife’s steps at meal dmea We have two bedrooms, each sit uated conveniently la relation to the house as a whole.

Another form of “lie” tea la formed of about half genuine tea duat and the other half a mixture of magnetic ox ide of Iron and vartoua powdered leave« of bamboo, willow and shrubs. Mica and indigo have been found in it by microscopical analysis, and even powdered soapstone. The Iron la not added for weight, but to darken the brew when it la dlaaolved by hot water. It also renders the tea bitter and give« It the tang beloved of the foreign "devil.” Use for Worn-Out Curreney.
