Speculators put them up in rows of ugly little' boxes as identi cal in design as ore the ice houses of the Esquhneaux or the bamboo huts of the Zulus. If you wanted a house ( to express anything of your person jality you had to go to an architect I a nd have him draw up expensive plans , and then you had to go to lots of , trouble and expense to have the plans I put. in tangible form of brick or wood jor stucco. I Now thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Clor- ence Merritt that is all changed. If ! your soul pants for an artistic and j different house even thoueh your ma- terial means are small all you have to do is to hie yourself quickly to some suburb around New York where this couple have been at work and you will find n house that not only fits your personality but your pocket book. Mr. Merritt is a builder and archi tect of New York Citv but as a side line and on his own hook he and his wife are putting uo the most ador able and artistic little houses for peo ple of moderate means. It is a labor of love that pays exceedingly well. Mrs. Merritt is ortistic to her f'neer tips and most of the quaint- little touches in their delightfully different donvciles emminate from hei If you are drenmy and noetical and reserved then Chymney House, built of Italian srrev stone and set back re tiringly behind tall trees would charm you. It has arched windows like a chapel and the interior is beamed and wa'nscoted in hesvv dark oak with stone walls above 1'ke a monastery 'in the livine room with an immense cav ernous fireplace and antique stone sconces around the walls to hold the dimlv shaded lights. The din'ng room has a red tiled floor and an old Florentine marble table cemented in one end of the wall for a buffet. Added to all this an cient charm are three modern baths, a hot water furnace and all the thous and up-to-date comforts that modern ingenuity can devise. There are charming Colon'al hous es in the eollect'on, larce and small to fit any size family with ivory enamel woodwork nnd beamed ceilners throughout, all white kitchens, French w'ndows and everything the most fas tidious housewife could wish. Of course the doors all have knock ers and a quaint Merritt touch shows cunn'ng little baskets of fruit cut out of the green Colonial shutters intend it the vsr.nl conventional half moons. Who would ever have thoutrht thai a rather plain little shingle house with a big stone chimney could be ravel from mpdecoritv by paint'ng the one piece Colonial shutters red nstead of green, a lovely geranium red that just matches rows of these cherrv flowers no each side of the neat brick walk? Mrs. Merritt did and the house with the red shutters is consequently one of the shinning examples of Merritt creation. Then there are Smrnish Mission houses, nnd Italian villa effects of stucco nnd a dn-k of a red brik house with wh'te trell'ses at the sides and white wooden shutters with th cut. out baskets. Just every sort nnd con diion of an nrtistic nnd oritrinnl house that nny temnernment rnnld desihs and each and every one wth just some l'ttle novel touch to mnke them dif ferent from anvfcody else's Swinish Mission.
