Planning the Home.

FLAMING the Home.
In selecting an architect several
things are To be considered. writes
Charles Edward Hooper in the Nav
W0man's Home Companion. THE ar.
binary individual will perhaps have
formed some ideas of what he wishes he
I fore consulting an architect You NAV
see some completed structure which Won
will consider desirable. In this ease il
is most natural that you should take
your troubles TO the author of this ex-
/ ample. Keep the estimated cost of the
structure down to below the limit Of
your purse; the final cost is very apt 10
exceed the contract in certain extras
which YOU may have overlooked.
The architects fee is usually three
and one half per cent of the contract
price To- the drawings and one and one
half per cent. for supervision. plus tray
cling expenses from his office to the work
in question. From this it may readily
be seen that there is not a fortune i'm Il
for the professional man. Understand
ing this. it is best that you have a fairly
good grasp on what you desire. and
avoid as much as possible the extra work
occasioned by drawing and redrawing
the plan.
The first drawings made by the arcni-
tect are termed sketches. and are uSuojIv
drawn to a scale Of One-eighth inch ia
the foot. just half the ordinary working
scale. These are merely TO show the
scheme of design and are more easily
! changed than the more precise drawings
If the architect fails to suit You with
these preliminary sketches. and YOU wish
to sever the business connection at this
point, he is entitled to "A fee of one per
cent. of the calculated cost of the house
If. however, the sketches are accepted
and working drawings completed he re
ceiyeS the three and one-half per cent
already referred to.
The drawings furnished by the archi-
tect are usually one-quarter-scale plans
and elevations and framing plans: also
full-siZe detail of cornices. window trim
etc: in fact. whatever requires further
explanation than is given by the scale
drawings.
1T Is not customary to make a con-
tract with the architect as he is con
suited in the same manner as the doctor
or lawyer.
The relations between tn architect.
! builder and owner are these
