The checkered chimney; pyramidal roof and the little eyebrow' win- dow which nestles so snugly and re- cedes gracefully into the shingles; attractive entrance porch, windows and shutters; large living room and in fact wherever one's eyes mest, it is obvious and pleasingly persuasive. A most important considaration, without which #t is impossible ¢&o visualise the effect to best advant- age, is a suitable selection of col ly lost when It is placed in an out- side wall. The base of the house is of brick, carried about a foot and a half above the ground and brick or hollow tile are suggested as the backing for the stucco surface of the remaining walls. Extra: heavy shingles are recommended for the roof with courses varying from eight inches to the weather at eaves to five at the ridge.

The warmer weather of the past week has sent crops shooting ahead and the much needed rain, which soaked the pro- vince on Morddy should keep all growth going for at least a fort- night. Pasture has been very late in starting, but outside the very limit- | od section of Ontario which suffered from drought last summer, there has ' heen no shortage of feed, and aided | by warmer weather and showers the 1 grass is now growing rapidly.

Last year a generally heavy crop of all kinds was harvest ed, and as most trees take a rest ev- ery other season, a repetition could hardly be expected this fall. Present indication point to a very fair yield of apples, possibly a little better than 50 p~- cent of last season near record. In cared-for-orchards tbe crop will be much heavier than in plantations where spraying, fertilis- ing, cultivation and pruning are gi- ven secondary consideration. On the wholé the yield of McIntosh, Green- ing, Russet and Delicious will be above average, but Spys are off.

When prohibition was put into effect ten years ago gloomy predictions were made on every side but the measure seems to have helped the business wonderfully." Each year since 1922 the béaring acreage 'un- der grapes in the Niagara Peninsula has increased 10 per cent and an even more rapid rate of growth is expected during the néxt few sea- sons. Prices have more than trebled in the past decade. The bulk of the crop is taken by the wineries. GREAT LITERARY HOAX OF AN IRISH GIRL Admiral"s Daughter Wrote "Diary. of Young Lady of Fashion 1764-65." London, June 4--A little Irish girl, the 19-year-old daughter of & distinguished naval officer, has ac complished the greatest literary hoax of the century. There was published the end of last year. "The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion, in the Year 1784- 1765, by Cleone Knox, Bdited by Her Kinsman and Descendant, Alexander er Kerr."

The book became a best seller on both sides of the Atlantic. In Amerl- ca it ran into nine editions in two months, and it has been the sensa- tion of the literary world. Eminent etitics described it as the raciest and most diverting diary published in modern times, accepted it at its face value and regarded it as a valuable Lord Darling, the famcus former judge of the High Court, said the diary must rank with Pepys as a record of the time, and the verity of the author's revelations must be compared with those of Smollett and L'Abbe Prevost. . It now is revealed that the book is fiction from the first exciting en- try, which Is concerned with an at-| tempt of Cleone's handgome young admirer, Mr. A., to climb into her bedroom at night, to the happy de- nouncement when he follows her to Venice and snatches her up from under her outraged father's eyes. It was written by Miss Magdalen King Hall, youthful daughter of Sir George King-Hall, admiral in the Royal Navy, with a distinguished re- cord of service and the descendant of many naval heroes.
