Oetober 19~ 1928 WIJ-METTE LIF,E "COLONIAL" HOUSES COVER MANY STYLES Continued from page 51) the roof line was brought out from the peak and dropped sharply. A couple of dormer windows gave the necessary light. . Like the Dutch Colonial. the ~~w England Colonial hearkens back to the ancestral home. Most of the men building this style of house were frcm England, so they naturally built along the line of the homes in their own country. The craftsmen . employed the methods and idea5 they brought with them to the new country, adapting them to . the exigiencies of the surroundings and materials, though not as completely as did the early Dutch huilders. Kitchen Ia Important As in nearly all early houses, the kitchen was the mo5t important roorrt. ft was probably the· only ro0m where the heat was sufficient to make the members of the household cotafortable during the long winter evenings. The family ate in the kitchen and most of the spinning and weaving was done ·there. A few ·of the homes lacked space to the degree that the kitchen was used as a sleeping quarter, also. A wooden bed-frame strung with cords or ropes was hinged to the wall and hooked up during the day. It was conceited with a curtain. The parlor was reserved, as it is today in many country homes, for the impot:tant happenings in the life of the family. \Veddings, funerals, and impor~ant guests only were admitted to the honor of this room. The "best bed" was sometimes kept in this room, not concealed as the modern "in-adoor" but proudly on display, for it probably had pineapple-topped posts Autumn's Foliage .Makes Fertilizer if Piled in Corner . Now that the autumn leaves are fallmg, the air is thick with the haze of ~urning piles. To many people there ts .o.nly one way to dispose of old leaves, and that way is incineration. Contrary to this belief is that held by expert gardeners. Leaves make one of the finest fertilizers m the world. They are the natural fertilizers by which the fine b-lack dirt of the forest is made so productive. Virgin soil which has never been cultivated has much taken out of it every year by wild grasses wild flowers, and the trees. Th~ leaves fall back to the ground, decay, and mix with the soil. If the gardner were to pack the leave s into an obscure corner of the garden and to allow them to decompose, he would soon accumulate a mulch that would be as . fine a fertilizer for some uses as any he could buy. Beside that he would do away with the dangerous autumn fires which not only heats the street so that it soon developes a hole where the fire was lighted, but also often ends in tragedy for the children. A manufacturer has made rugs to fit the modernistic home. The patterns in the rug are symbolic of different great events. or a bow top with the "best set" of curtains. Many of the clap -board houses of earliest construction had the English stvle of half timber and stucco underneath this seperate sheathing. The theory has been advanced that the old-English type of construction was first used but found unsatisfactory in the rigorous climate, so that extra · BARGAINS · ln TULIPS All Choice Bulbs Imported Direct From HoUand GIANT 'DARWIN TULIPS Do·· Clara Batt-apple blossom pink, late . . . . . . . ..... . .... . t .58 Bnronne de Ia Tonnaye-bright rose, large flower, late . . .45 Le Notre-bright rosy pink, early. .. .. .... . . . . . . . . . . . . . .55 Madame Krelag&-bright lavender pink, early ........ ... .55 )Jassaeh osetts-rich pink with lighter edge, very attractive, late . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .55 Bartlgan-dazzling crimson scarlet, early . .......... . ... .50 Farncombe Sanders-rich scarlet, white base, extra ftne for beds, early . . . . .· . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .51 Wm.
