HOUSE AND GARDEN 
July, 1914 
from out the deep of deeps, that’s potent to 
reveal what we are ever seeking — that se¬ 
cret secret of our own True Weal! ( She 
fixes her gaze upon the dial stone.) 
DUNDUM — Let every eye be fixed 
upon the Queen ! Bt still — within!—with¬ 
out ! And ye shall surely know! ( A little 
flutter: the Queen gives the signal and all 
are motionless and silent for three or four 
seconds; as the Queen lowers her scepter 
when the shadow crosses the line a low 
murmur is breathed, all looking up and 
supplicating.) 
ALL TOGETHER ( brokenly, speak¬ 
ing and repeating) —Rain! — Hail, Rain! 
Our King!—King of Earth!—Oh, mighty 
Rain !—Rain ! — Hail, King! - 
(HELIA is aghast; listens as if to make 
sure; turns to DUNDUM, but he too calls 
on RAIN, and she cannot attract his at¬ 
tention; ivaits at last in growing anger 
until TEA ROSE, seeing her, is recalled, 
runs to her and throws herself on her 
knees before her; all confer affirmatively 
in pantomime.) 
TEA ROSE — Oh, sweet majesty! Be 
not enangered of my brief forgetting. 
HELIA ( sternly )—Stand on thy feet, 
Tea Rose! Thy lapse is naught, in face 
of such as this ! ( Looking around scorn¬ 
fully.) How now? Is there Prime Min¬ 
ister or not, in this distraught assemblage ? 
(■DUNDUM rushes down the bank and 
to her, bowing and deprecating.) My 
lord! Be good enough to favor us with 
such an explanation—instantly!—as ad¬ 
dled wit may offer! 
DUNDUM —Most gracious Helia, an’ 
thou It give me leave, I first must say that 
I am no more addled than are the rest that 
waited on the spell. And for the rest!— 
the instant explanation thou hast com¬ 
manded, thou already hast. Thou knowest 
in thy heart that what’s been spoken is 
that true secret of our own True Weal! 
HELIA —I know it for rebellion, rather 
(looks meaningly at PURPURIUS), and 
that seeds of revolution scattered bring 
forth the noxious weed. 
PURPURIUS ( bowing ) — Your maj¬ 
esty hath here directed the barbed shaft of 
this speech—therefore, I’ll answer. Thou 
art not less than beside thyself, Helia, an’ 
thou dost lay to revolution such suppli¬ 
cation for the King. Have a care, madam, 
e er thou deniest the the oracle just given ! 
HELIA — Oracle, forsooth! Yes—or¬ 
acle of thy cunning, Purpurius, planned to 
coerce me to thy plot! 
PURPURIUS —I have no plot, lady, 
nor is there one. But thou knowest well 
the kingdom’s all awry; and in thy heart 
of hearts there’s more than half a cer¬ 
tainty that thy lord the King is needed. 
{All listen hopefully; HELIA, defiant, 
looks from one to another; some meet her 
gaze with supplications; the drooping 
dowers cling more and more closely to¬ 
gether, growing weaker.) 
IRIS FLOWER — May’t please your 
majesty-

ideal inside garden- pfflAflffjW)- ' A®'- 
ing as the curved eave 
house has always been; -L r 
still the question of secur- fAjfcTb 
ing satisfactory ventila- 
tion on the sides has al- 
ways been a problem. We 
have recently successfully 
solved this defect by put¬ 
ting the gutter at the bottom of the curved eave 
line and hinging side ventilating sash to this 
gutter. 
Not only does this make a decidedly better 
house for the plants, but comparing it with the 
squatty 
) some 
might be objectionable. 
If you are thinking of 
building a greenhouse it 
will be worth your while 
to find out about our way 
of building them. As far as our company itself is 
concerned, we have a reputation for “pleasant 
dealing” which many have seemed to feel is 
decidedly worth while.

Kellastone Imperishable Stucco has absolutely no equal 
as an exterior stucco and an interior plaster. It is weather¬ 
proof and fireproof. Moisture and climatic changes will 
not discolor it or mar its beauty iu any way. 
contains no lime or Portland cement. It possesses an elasticity that enables it 
to ••give” with the settling of the building to a far greater extent than 
ordinary stuccos, without cracking. It will successfully adhere to stone, 
brick or wood. It is a non-conductor of heat, cold and dampness. As an 
interior plaster, its hardness prevents marring when struck by furniture and 
its elasticity prevents cracking when the building settles. 
Kellastone Composition Flooring 
is sanitary, waterproof, fireproof and abrasion-proof. Just the thing for 
public buildings, sun parlors, bath rooms, kitchens, etc., in private homes.
