BUILD THEIR OWN HOMES
How Minneapolis Workingmen Are Abb
to Divorce the Landlord.

Cheap building lots to be had on
easy payments, the eight-hour working
day, the long summer days and the sys-
tenn of trading work among a~rtizans
are said to be the chief factors respon-
sible for the, unusual extent to which
the laboring class own their own homes
in Minneapolis.
In whatever direction one may go in
the" city, particularly in the outlying
portions, small houses, which are evil
IDENTIFY the homes Of the w~age-earner,
may be seen just completed, or in the
process Of evolution. Evolution is the
correct word, for the majority Of this
class Of residences are purely evolu-
lions, which have consumed two or
three years in assuming completed out
lines. First the lot is procured, the
next year a barn or shed IS built to
be occupied until the next stage is
reached. This may be a kitchen, or
a first-foor room, which becomes the
home until additions nave finished the
work. 5
"The eight-hour day has it's advan-
tages for the laboring man, said a
promoter Of this class Of real-estate
lot on easy payments, and nearly every
one Of them has saved enough money
to make the first pavement down. Then
if he be a carpenter, he can exchange
services with a brick or stone mason
and a plasterer and get his house built
at practically no cash outlay except
for materials.

moters are the real estate men. and
they are promoters all the time. Per
haps their efforts are somewhat dlmln-
ished because we think they are so per-
sonally interested. If the real estate
men should quit singing the praises of
Minneapolis, I am sure the welfare Of
the city would suffer. Or. take the re-
verse condition. and if all the mer-
chants and all the professional men
and all the people living in Minneapo-
lis, who like Minneapolis-who believe
that this city has a great future
would turn promoters, what an effect
it would have, not necessarily promot'
ing real estate, but the city generally.
I know of no city as large as Min
neapolis where a lot for a home can
be purchased for $500 or $500. with
water, sewer, gas, stone sidewalks and
streetcar facilities. A lot in Los An
geles, offering equal improvements and
conditions, would cost about double
this amount.
"For twenty-five years I have been
interested in real estate in this city, by
reason of my profession, and I am now
confident that the future will show that
now is a very opportune time to buy
real estate.'

An English Gothic House
Lowell A. Lamoreaux, Architect.

This residence for G. A. Robinson now
building on Portland avenue and Thirty
third street is an English Gothic house.
From the plan it will be noticed that
the living room is to be the chief feat
ure of the house. It connects with
the hall by a large opening and a screen
which virtually puts the hall and living
room all in one. The prime object Of
this is to secure the south light in the
living room, as the house faces the west
and is also on corner, making it de-
sirable to have the living room facing
on both streets.
This room will be finished with a high
wainscot with a wide rail IN top, all in
line with the bookcases and fireplace,
and a beamed ceiling.
The hall is finished, and will be
stained in old English oak. There will
be open paneled wainscotirg in both
living and dining room, which will be
decorated with Japanese leather with
burlap or tapestry above. The living
room will be finished in olive green and
brown with draperies of same color.
\ The large bay in the hall is all loaded
glass in which the olive and amber pro-
dominate, with a touch of red. The
s%ideboard is something of a departure
from the ordinary, it being built on a
curve and having but a small upper
sideboard with mirrors and cabinets. A

indispensable to FZoaey Bedrooms.

n OST of us cannot afford to
MI change our furniture with
the season, but those who are
fitting out either cottages or
more elaborate summer homes
will find themselves inevitably drawn
toward the fascinating array of wicker,
rush, and grass furniture, says Martha
Gutter in June Harper's Bazaar. We
at least all have porches where, no
matter how limited the space, as long
as it is protected from the gaze Of the
passing public by means Of vines or
screens, we may create an outdoor sit
ting room which will breathe a charm
ing atmosphere of comfort and in
formal hospitality, where we may alter
an interesting book, or entertain our
friends with a refreshing cup of tea.
We may wen have a distinct color
scheme, indulging our love for bright
colors and picturesque effects to the
full, for the makers of summer furni-
ture also have awakened to the posi-
bilities Of color and design.
There is a kind of furniture known
as the American waterproof wicker,
dyed any color, and there are innumer-
able comfortable shapes. The selection
Of green grass furniture is fascinating
in it's variety and artistic beauty. The
shapes are wonderfully enticing, and
the color is a delightful background for
brilliant red cushions and those covered
with gay prints .
Rather newer than the grass furni-
ture, and fitted only for porches and
rough bungalows, is the roughly hewn
furniture of yellow birch, the bark
left on, and the forms adapted as much
as possible to the whims of nature
herself. The shapes are good and the
construction substantial. Surely one
need fear nothing from the effects of
storm or dampness. A log cabin would
be fascinating furnished in this way.
The breath of the mountain forest
seems to demand the surroundings alb
solutely in harmony with it.
Of the real rattan or wicker furni-
ture, with its .well-made spiral weave,

alas! we know also. Possibly we dc
