There Is an appear ance of comfort to this home that Is fully carried out by the admirable arrangement of rooms and consideration for all tho little conveniences of mod ern living. ' ' ' - It Is a square house of simple, dignified, economi cal design. The roof lines aro vell adapted to tile or slate, but could bo nttractlvcly covered with any other type of shingles. Slightly projecting Iron balconies, in tho manner of French city houses, urc placed at the two second story windows. French doors lend from the Jiving room to tho teirace. The porch In Included in the house, opening as It docs from both living and dining room. It Is almost a part of thoso rooms. It could easily be glazed and used as1 a sunroom. ' The first floor contains three rocms and In addi tion there Is an inclosed, porch, a dining alcove, kitchen, entry, and stair hall. The arrangement of the rooms is ono that la e pecially suitable for a sotting In which the principal views nnd lighting aro to tho front. However, tho development of tho porch and dining room Is such that a charming effect would bo obtained If they opened off a garden at the rear. A handsome fireplace is a feature of the living room.' Tho arrangement of the 'living room and hall is such that one may pass directly from the front door to the kitchen without going through the front part of the house. A grade entrance is also provided for entrance to the kitchen or basement. A codt closet on the first landing of the stairway Is con veniently situated.' The icebox Is In the rear entry. On tho second floor there are three excellent bed rooms and a bath. . ; Thero is a full basement under tho entire house. Tho exterior walls aro brick veneefr on wood frame. i The house is designed to face south ot east, It may be reversed if desired for other facings.

Tho colonial typo of architecture has been "in style" for moro than 200 years. Tho housed we aro building aro vory similar In appearnncef to thoso which were built in the very early period of our nation's history. The'fact that they still are in stylo today would Heeni to provo that they will con tluuo In stylo indefinitely. As a matter of fact, tho basis for tho colonial stylo is -so pure that arch-i itocts will contlntie to draw upon! It for the designs of luntiOs and other buildings long after the I buildings which we aro building today have fallen into ditcny. , Question. When 1 let tiie eon tract for my house, what parts of tho work shall I handle in.wielf as separate contracts? Answer Wo advise you to let separate contracts for hen'.inj, plumbing and electric wirlnir. The re Items are sometimes let to the gen eral contractor, thus niakinr him responsible for tho. entire hc:ise, but you will nave- some money by letting separate contract3 for tho work listed. - When Battery Huns lwn "When tho detector "B" battery Is new, the tube likely will func tion host at nineteen and one-half volts, but tho set will lose "pop" as tho battery runs down.'

It does not always cost much to ndd boauty to tho homo. It may be only a now vino started, - a flower box fixed up for tho front porch,, or a few soft pillows put In new dress, or a fresh coat of var iiish to several old pieces of furni ture. The woman of ingenuity can devise . ways to mako her home more beautiful, if she applies her brain to it, without a great ex penditure of money. . - Hut money spent in homo nenu Ufication is money well invested. A thing of boauty is a joy, and the whole family will lovo home more If it Is attractive. And if the fam ily does lovo homo more their united effort- can make it - still more beautiful.
