There has never been n time in the history
Of mans civilization when the building Of
houses for homes received 80 much attention
as now. II Is becoming the ambition Of
every man, no matter what his financial
level, 10 own his own home, and the various

tion in many cases is gone. The wage Garner,
the small business man and the professional
man are now their own landlords 10 an ex-
tent that would have been deemed impossible

not the least gratifying feature Of this state
of affairs is the fact that 1t causes every man

he not concern himself with the ndministra-

this, have decided TO furnish its readers with
series of designs and plans for houses Of va

convenience and beauty They have been se-
lected from a number of standard sources
and an estimate of cost will be given in each
case, though this is an element that must nee

SONNET TO THE SEA.

o senseless Sea, how long shell men proclaim
Thy freedom and thy poweri Slave Of the
Moon
Thy wrath Is borrowed Of the wind, the Noon
Supplies thy smiles, thy life Is but a name
That poets use. To thee nor praise blame
Belong. And yet shall man, alas, not soon
Forget to fear thee, and thy dim halls strewn
With bones of bravest man and farest damef
The careless fish within thee sport and breed,
The bird above thee spreads her scornful wing;
Yet thou, more lifeless than thy weakest weed,
Canst shake the very soul Of priest and king.
And aye to man thy breathless breast appears
waste Of sighs, wilderness of tears
