It represents a combination of the beauty of an old motive with the comfort and convenience made pos sible by modern science. The front of this home faces north, but the view and the garden are on the opposite side, the south, and this side Is really the Important one. The garden Is thus screened from out sldcrs. The living and dining rooms and two of the bedrooms, including that of the owner, ull face the. garden, . which adds to the attractiveness of this design. Arrangement of the stairs allows for entrunce to the basement without entering any of the rooms, which Is a desirable feature. On the upper floor are three bed- rooms ana two bathrooms, one of which has additional space for dress ing or for a shower If one Is de sired separate from the tub. Fire places are provided both for the liv ing room and owner's bedroom. The most desirable color for this type, of house is buff or white stucco, and red tile roof, all In keeping with the Spanish design. Colorful window awnings will add to its beauty. The garden is an Important fea ture of this type of home, and should nott be neglect ted when planning the location of the building on the lot. Jn warm weather the family will want to spend almost as much time out of doors as within, , A lpt about CO by J50 feet Is rec ommended for this home. The cost should run between $10,000 and $12,-000.
