And the social calendar for the week shows a number of unusually interesting events. There were dfnners. and luncheon?, ami teas, and little informal gath erings, the large bridge party.. of Mr. and Mrs. David Eyre's Friday night, standing outctoiu)icuoijsly as one of the smartest functions of the year. I '. With the approach Of Hallowe'en, other bright spots will appear on the social horizon, and from then on to Christmas, there will be a full programme for society, j THE turn of the .wheel has brought us around again to certain fashions In home-making which smack of the days of our great- grandparents. If you are building and furnishing a strictly up-to-date residence, .you are omitting-a lot of things that a while ato was thought necessary. Takt a motor drive 'around the Capital city, view only the new homes, and you will see- this no"fe of simplicity, and this simplicity doej not mean barrenness.; plainness or crudenc-ss. Intelligent sim plicity Is really an acme of trtistie accomplishment. The present much-talked about housing problem, like every other evil. Is productive of some Rood, inasmuch as It revives: our interest in home-making, and Individual delight . in home construction. We are beginning to study our landscapes, our history, and our tra ditions for Inspiration, and 'are buiWing accordingly. Architecture of the past has been fearful of being too plain, just as folk have been fearful of havinr their V.ves loo simple. It was , not realized that increased decoration did not always make for more danental and splendid in nature, not to adorn human beings. ' Much of the spirit of , today has always been a part-of the Englisn ri'chltPtture: there homes are j built to give happiness, to be the place :n which people shall be contented, a place for wholesome existence. - - Am " " - i ' - - .

Here is a building of ttnrdy charm, stamped because of Its einrrllcity with a. certain rare distinctiohTthat one does not meet ia every bungalow. It is quaint but not eccentric; unique but not sffeeted; fashioned with frank intention of material comfort, yet iB'btted with an atmosphere that is far from materialistic. Thia new home-building spirit, with Its yearning for comfort, simplicity and beauty,: for sincere and earnest craftsmanship Is ex emplified itn the recently completed homes of the Dan Fry Jr.'s and Ir. and Mrs. Raymond Walsh, that adjo.-n on South High street. Oat cannot pass these places without feeling an echo of the homo tflealrf and the enthusiasm that mu.st hame gone into their concep tion and making, ...For the exteriors with their plain, light-reflecting wills, their casement ' windows, suggest unpretentious 'comfort and v artlbtlc restraint. f , And II you love "little honse and . who doesn't? there is for yoor tomiration the i quaintly charming ;new home of R. F, Dillon, Eighteenth and Center streets. With all the art that has been wcver. into this bungalow,-there Is no displeasing self-consciousness, no straining after the unusual or the extreme. Whatever is unique or surprishrgseems rather the result of spontaneous enthusiasm and rr.taral feeling for plcturesqueness, ready sympathy, with the mate rials, eagerness to make even the commonest detail a' thing of love Hress. . . ,- J; -t . . . - ',. ,. .' .. , , .
