ance of stone walls depends great deal
upon the manner in which the walls are
faced and pointed. If the color of the
stone is brown or reddish in appearance a
dark mortar, almost if not quite black,
gives good appearances; If the stone is
gray or light in color, red mortar is ef'
fective. However, the gray mortar in
common use is stronger and looks well
enough for ordinary purposes and has the
advantage of being cheaper. In tue east

Stone houses are not as common as brick
or wooden buildings, owing to the greater
expense involved in the construction. This
is especially true when il is necessary TO
purchase the stone and haul IL long dis
tance. But in many sections Of the cOun-
try sand and good building stone are found
upon the building site or in the immediate
neighborhood. In such cases the stone
costs nothing, and the only expense is the
cost of the lime or cement and the neces-
sary labor and scaffolding required to build
the walls In localities where labor u
