"We shall see as to that. Man pro-

Mark's pulse quickened. He guessed
to what Doria possibly referred and
felt concern but no surprise. The other
continued. •
"Ambition may succumb before
beauty. Ancestral castles may crumble
before the tide of love, as a child's

Doria sighed and looked at Bren-
don closely. The Italian stood in a
tight -fitting jersey of brown wool, a
very picturesque figure against his
dark background. The other had no-
thing to say and prepared to descend.

Pranks the Sun Plays.
To make preparations, eighteen
months ahead for an event that will
last only a quarter of a minute- seems
ridiculous, says an English writer. Yet
astronomers are already turning their
attentionto an eclipse of the sun due
on Juno 29th, 1927, which wilA be the
first total eclipse visible in ttie coun-
try for over 200 years.
On this occasion it is hoped to ob-
tain decisive evidence es to the truth
of Professor Einstein's, world-famoute
theory of relativity, which assumes
that light waves oan travel in curves
instead of straight lines, as most peo-
ple nuppose to be the case.
According to one of 'the Royal Ob-
servatory staff, the best places from
which to 'witness, the eclipse wii be on

pool. People -standing on that line, or
about ben miles on either side of it,

A SMALL HOME Wifil LARGE LIVING ROOM

Editor's Note—This home, designed
by W. L. Somerville, Architect, of
Toronto, is one of a series featturieg
moderate priced Canadian Homes.
Copyright 1925, llacLea.n 13uilding
Reports, Ltd.
The client in this case had several
very definite ideas of his own before
he consulted the architect. He want-
ed a small Home for a family to which
the same adieotive also applies, but a
large living room was insisted upon.
It was also desired to place the home
in an orchard without destroying any
of the trees• which were valuable from
a monetary point of view and perhaps
a sentimental one as well. Let us see
how these wishes have been complied
with. •
It is 28 ft. wide by an average length
of not quite 21 ft. and the living room,
22 ft. x 11 ft., Is certainly an unique
achievement in a house of this size,
in fact, it appealed to the owner so
much that the house is rapidly nearing
completion. But what of the' orchard?
Not only is the '"roll -call" still the
salute but several of the trees have
gained additional value through being
taken into consideration from a land-
scape viewpoint.
It is not a pretentious haine from
the standpoint of any such ideas as
"keeping up with the Jones.” But,
isn't it attractive? Wouldn't you hesi-
tate to take the responsibility of -alter-
ing the pitch of the roof a few de-
grees ane way or the ether, or of
changing the treatment over the sec-
ond storey windows or tampering with
the design of atiy of then? Such is
the eieculiar art of architecture—to
alter anything would be. to probably
spoil everything.
Take, for another example, the
stucco exterior finish of the walls.
Brick cannot be substituted without
special attention being devoted to the
design of the brickwork and in a•ddi-
tion to this, other changes would have
to he made as well to secure a har-
monious effect of the whole. One
thing, however, is optional to a cer-
tain extent—the materials used to ap-
ply the stucco on. The choice here
depends solely en the building by -Laws
to be observed and would in no way
affect the design.
In this case, the backing used far
the rough trowelled stucco exterior
was brick for the first storey and
-metal lath on frame construction for
the second. The shingle roof is
stained a dark".brown with which the
cream tone of the stucco and the na-
tural oil finish of the window frames
combine to create a very pleasing ef-

Taking a peep inside we find a

a roomy Coat closet at the side of
the stairway and -either living room or
kitchen may be entered theouglh the
well placed doorways. To have them
directly opposite each other would
not do at aThr.
The large living rooni with dining

most interesting interior feature of
this home, hi fact, the group cif three

THE TWO-PIECE DRESS RE-

Women like the comfort of a sep-
arate skirt which has sufficient ful-
ness to accommodate a walking stride.
This dress is developed of plain vel-
vet and brocaded metal cloth, but
practically any dress material maybe
used for the overblouse with skirt to
match, or -contrast, whichever suits
you. The skirt is simply made, with
three box -plaits across the front, -and
attached to a body lining. Nor are the
