Nv HOUSEBLZZLDLVG
ENectige Methods Of Dendeni,tg Walls and Floors
-ErtenSe When House Erected only Fesy
Layers With Board Strips to Gige Air Spaces
PLANTS for Table Decoration

A reader Of the home building page
writes to ask advice about deadening
sounds in house. She has built two
family house and finds that sounds
penetrate the walls unpleasantly.
For the house already built there is
probably no remedy except the deaden-
ing Of the floors. The only method
recommended by one architect as salts
factory is this: Take either five lay
ers of building felt or a special prepa-
ration Of fat tow quilted between
lay two inch strips at a distance Of
twenty inches apart all sover the floor.
On top of the strips put two-inch strips
Of plank of an inch thickness. Fasten
these strips to the floor every -four or
five inches with long screws. Over this
lay the finishing floor. Both the felt
and the air spaces contribute to the
deadening effect and the vibrations are
not communicated thru the screws as
they would be thru long long nails used
in fastening flooring strips.
The expense where an extra floor has
to be laid would be considerable, but
the felt and board strips laid at the
time the floors are originally laid would
only cost about three or four dollars
additional for ordinary rooms.
A variation Of this method employed
by another architect is to cover the en-
made mac n of seakeip Between i layers Of as
bestos paper. This is springy and full
Of air spaces and, on top Of the sheath
ing, board strips are placed in the same
manner as above. A layer of concrete
under tho floors is also used for dead
ening sounds.
To make walls soundproof the most
highly recommended method is to use
two sets Of studs, alternating with each
other, the laths for one wall being at
tached to one and those for the other tc
the other studding; the vibrations are
broken in this way and do not readily
pass thru the wider air space.
| In laying an additional floor in a fin
ished house it makes it necessary tt
adds to the expense.

Economical Linen Patterns,

In purchasing tablecloths it is well
to remember, especially where the cost
is matter to be considered, that a
check pattern, either in plain blocks or
more elaborated, but with the warp
and wool running straight up and down
and across, is both cheaper and more
durable for everyday cloths than a
it is simpler to manufacture; one gets
better wearing material for less price
than when the highly glazed cheaper
grades of lowered damask are selected.

4 SPECIFIC SUGGESTION
FOR THE .HOlLE.BLILDEk
Built for Convenience.
By Il. L. DOyy,
Architect, 1882 Lumber Exchange.

Architect, 1882 Lumber Exchange.
The distinguishing feature Of this
house is it's complete equipment, con
venient arrangement, nominees and
careful finish. The cost of the house
complete was 900. This included
hardwood finishing thruout in oak and
birch. The bath room has both walls
and floor tiled and the heating is with
hot water.
The hall is handsome apartment
with beamed ceiling and attractive dec
orations which are included in the cost
of building. The principal decorative
feature of the exterior is the porch
whose stone base adds to the substan
tial quality of the house. The broken
lines of the low roof give character tt
the house. The two dens, altho small
will be attractive to many.

Building a Fire.


One thing about which everyone has
an individual opinion is In regard to
building a fire. But one who has had
experience writes as follows to the Seize
entifc American: Shake out a double
sheet of newspaper and crush it rather
tightly, leaving the edges loose that it
may ignite easily. The back log should
be Of the greatest size that the fireplace
will hold, and may be of green wood,
as this is the slowest to burn out, and
the draft and fire are strongest in the
back. The log should be showed tightly
against the wall. IF it is a split log,
the inside Of it should be turned toward
the front. Three logs is q good num-
Der to start fire with; the back log,
a smaller one in front Of it, and the
third on top Of these two. All the ashes
from the first three or four fires should
be left on the hearth, as this makes
fine bed for keeping the embers hot
after they have fallen thru the and
irons The woods should be mixed in
order to have an ideal fre-green wood
with dry, and the harder varieties
oak, cedar, pine, with the wood Of the
old fruit trees that have died. Apple
gives very mellow, soft light.
