owner from the boredom of the too
simple life.
It Is Interesting to everyone when
building his home to decide as to
tho type of house, the stylo, whether
thero should be a stecn roof or one
low pitched or even flat. The main
issue Is to have the whole thine a
homogeneous mass, with garden,,
terraces, roof, walls all harmonized.
Tho house pictured hero Is small
but beautiful ;ln line and mass. The
terrace Is Just as much a part of the
design of the house as the .roof or

In low. We.athervone and .bird house,
help to add Interest.
Tho plan Is very compact, with'
plenty of light and ventilation. Tho:
only large room missing is the din
ing room, and the alcove Is meant
to take Its place. Thsre are three
nice bedrooms and two baths.
,Ono bedroom, over the garage,
has the bath adjoining and would
mako an excellent guest room. 'The
garage and guest bedroom are at
different levels from the rest of the
house
Tho thought kept principally In
mind whllo designing this cottage
wao to make It meet -all rcqulre
.mento of a young couple, and to do

ing a small houso beautiful. The
finished' building will bo a pleasure
to .the owner. Planting of vines and
shrubs serves to blend tho house
Into the landscape. -
Tho size of tho lot should bo

Tho cost Is approximately $6000
to S8000, varying with local labor
and material prices.

with Tcddle. Ely Culbertson will
team up with Waldy when his 160
rubber match of contract bridge with
Sidney S. Lenz and Oswald Jacoby is
resumed tonight. Later he expects
to have Harold as partner.
Baron Waldemar von Zedwltz will
play tonight Instead of Theodoro
A. Lightncr, who has been Culbert
Bon's partner since Mrs. Culbertson
withdrew In order to do her Christ
mas shopping. Tho baron was sched
uled to play somo of the match
from the first arrangements. Ho is
going away .on a vacation tomorrow,
hence his substitution for Llghtner
tonight. Llghtner will be back In
tho game .tomorrow night to con-,
tinue until the holidays are- over.
Men Mrs. Culbertson will return to
play at . least 27 rubbers. She Is sup
posed to compete for one-half the
.match. She has .played In 48 rub
bers. 1
Culbertson has Harold S. Vander
bllt, his wealthy amateur friend, In
mina tor the last stages of the
match. Vanderbllt, the originator of
contract, devised bidding methods
when tho game was young which dif
fer from Culbertson s, but will play
sno uuioerisoii system. He Is re
garded by Culbertson as without a
superior as a player.
Tho baron, son of an Austrian
father . and an American mother, . Is
a naturalized American cltlzbn. Hb
has renounced his Inherited title of
tho holy Roman empire, but bridge
players all call him "tho Daron." To
Culbertson he Is "Waldey." He usu
ally has played with Mrs. Culbert
son In competition.
Culbcrtson's team, will bo 7D16
points plus when hand 373, the first
of rubber 64, is dealt tonight. The
total points are 64.846 and 46,030.
Culbertson and partner have won 34
rubbers compared with 29 for the
opposition.
No expert regards the lead as at all
decisive. It might be overcome In
one session. -It was largely accumu
lated in 15 rubbers. Lenz and
Jacoby think it Is based principally
on favorable cards and expect a turn
snortiy.
Thero will be sessions tonight, to
morrow and Wednesday nights and
Daburaay aiternoon.
