Too great care cannot be giv en to the selection of materials and workmanship In laying and finishing this part of the bouse. Generally speaking hardwood floors are Intended to be finished to display the natural beauty 'of the texture and grain of the wood. A transparent finish Is commonly used to permit ihe natural beaui of hardwood to remain visible, while in other cases the floor Is stained to obtain desired Interior decorative effects. Softwood floors are sometimes giv en a natural or stained finish to dis play the patterns made by the alter nating bands or spring wood and sum merwood growth. Often softwood floors are painted or covered with carpets or used as a base floor for other types of flooring materials. Hunlwood Used Among the hardwoods most com monly used for flooring are wblte oak, red oak, hard apple, birch and beech. The ring-porous growth Of oak gives beautiful textural and grain ef fects in plain-sawed flooring while : the "silver flakes" on the surface of quarter-sawed white oak flooring are highly prized for their beauty and charming effects. ! Douglas fir, southern yellow pine, i hemlock, white pine, pondosa pine, 1 and larch are among the most com- I monly used softwoods used for floor- I lng. The softwoods do not have tex- j tural patterns of pores, as In the case of oak, but derive their grain j effect from the harder, denser sum merwood which offers contrasting ef- ! fects with the lighter-colored and j softer springwood. It Is the differ- I ence In hardness between the sum- 1 merwood and springwood that makes ; the edge or vertical grain softwood j flooring preferred to plaln-sawcd softwood flooring, especially where the floor la subjected to hard usage. ; Strip Floors Common Strip flooring is the most common I type of wood flooring. Hardwood Utrip flooring usually has a narrow- i jer face than In the case of softwood j 'florlng and Is side and end matched i to make a sound, tight and strong ! floor. Softwood strip flooring Is side ' matched and is now available end i matched. In addition, wood flooring is available In different qualities or : grades and of different prices so that ; there Is a kind and quality sunaoie for every degree of beauty, service and "pocketbook." Novelty wood floors are In com mon use for those who wish varia tions from strip flooring. No Finer Quality Porcelain Enamel or China! All Chrome-Plated Fittings!

Lavatory Faucets 2.98 Per Pair E LESS UNSIGHTLY The modern trend In decoration has been felt In almost every part of he home, but the old-fashioned screen door Is generally left as a not too sightly reminder of the days that were. If, to enter a charmingly ap i pointed home, one must pass through an unsightly screen door, more thnn half of the effect of the Interior is lost on the guest. Certain decorators have made a particular effort this Spring to modernize this necessity to comfort. Screen doors are suggested with the lower half of thin wood and the upper half wire netting, conform ing, of course, to the general arcnl tecture of the house. Others have n fine latticework of wood,1 while still j others effect a modern design with j flht wooden pieces set In geometric I fashion, wire netting forming the re maining surface. FIREPLACE POPULAR Real-estate agents say that one of the most frequently requested fea tures when a prospective tenant searches for either apartment or house is a fireplace. Perhaps there is a magical charm In the thought of la family hearth. Surely from a purely decorative point of view there are few rooms that cannot be Improved by the addition of a fireplace. Made of brick or stone, depending on the character of the room, it pre sents a center about which to group furniture. It frequently proves a strictly practical feature as well, of fering Just enough warmth to take the chill out of the room when the heat of a furnace would be too much. SAFETY INSURED BY ! REWIRING RESIDENCE; The Insulation on electric wires laid under rugs receives conslderaole ' wear, and may break and result in a ' severe and dangerous fire. Such dan- i ger can be largely eliminated by re- j wiring the home to provide for a i sufficient number of outlets for Ml lighting and power accessories, in cluding lamps, radio, toaster, and oth V appUancea. j?
