During all of the winter months previous TO
the time when they would build In the spring
many sketches are made In laborlous way
of the floor plans of the house that Is to be.
Finally the net result ID handed to a builder
or an architect, more frequently the former,
az most houses are built without professional
services. The figures from the builder come
In and are very much higher Than was ex-
pected. 1t Is quite a shock, for certainly
there is nothing there that they can well do
without; everything has been thought of SO
much. Nothing that their house contains APP
pears to them to be less than a matter OF
necessity. Other builders are asked to figure
with results little more satisfactory. In the end
there must be a compromise. The builder
and the owner both yield, and as a result q
very satisfactory house is built, There are
little things which they would have diff
ferent, but in the main the house is salts
factory.
This is the universal experience and the
effect upon ths domestic architecture of this
country has been very pronounced. We can
now get a better house Tor q given sum OF
money than ever before. Better not only as
to general construction but as well on
on account OF the external appearance and
the convenience OF It's internal arrangements
