Many a home builder, after giving much
thought to what he considers the essen
tiaIs, finds something lacking when the
work Is done. lie is perhaps, at a loss TO
know where the difficulty is, and often
must wait for some chance remark to clear
the mystery. As a matter OF fact, the
trouble with most homes is that there is a
lack Of harmony in the yard the house and
its color, and the interior for even good
architects often fail to realize the need OF
this harmony.
THE union-a happy marriage It should
bc-between the house beautiful and the
ground near It Is worthy Of more thought
than It has had in the past; and the best
ways Of effectng that union artlstlcally
should interest men more and more as our
cities grow larger and our lovely landscape
shrinks back from them"
Whether the grounds then be large or
small, the house a mansion or cottage
the surroundings a lawn or grove, there
should be harmony in the plan and In the
result The difficulty is that the plan Of
the house is made at one time the color
of the outside is decided upon when the
house is up, the interior is settled at an
other time. and the yard is graded and
planted at haphazard or when convenient.

think OF his house, the color, the interior
and its decoration, and the lawn all at
the same time when making the plan; then
when completed the picture will be har-
monious and beautiful. Few builders have
the advantage Of expert advice in deter
mining these questions. However, only
taste and some knowledge are essential
for It is not money alone which makes a
beautiful home.
This article is not a treatise on land
scape gardening, but is a suggestion re-
garding the painting Of a house that II
may be in harmony with the surroundings
the style Of architecture and the plans OF
the interior. Incidentally, It may be said
that the yard should not be bare. nor
spotted with specimen bushes and plants
rather the planting should follow the sim
pie rules OF keeping the center OF the lawn
open, planting along the borders and the
foundation; of planting in masses, sur
rounding the yard with clumps OF trees
and shrubbery; and of avoiding straight
lines. using even the slightest curves to
break the monotony. The best designed
house, poorly placed or poorly painted Is
always a failure; an ordinary house, prop

and those In harmony rather than in con-
trast Indeed, many OF the best houses,
both large and small. particularly of the
various notifications OF the Colonial style,
are painted entirely one color, usually light
ivory, warm gray or similar tone-the
roof color and the sash or blinds supplying
sufficient contrast.
When painting the exterior, particularly,
the simple laws Of color should be remem-
bered Many wonder why the house looks
different from what was expected when
studying the color cards, which usually
form the basis Of the combination. This
difference is due largely to the failure to
remember a few simple facts. A lighter
and a darker shade increase in difference
when brought together. When a light
color Is placed next TO dark color, the
light appears lighter than II is and the dark
color darker. For example. when red and
green are placed side by side, the red ap-
pears redder than it actually is and the
green greener These differences become
greater when seen from a little distance.
Shades and eolors must seem to belong
together IL satisfactory results are to be
secured. Colors may be inharmonious be-
cause they are too bright. and, therefore,
too harsh; red and orange, blue and green,
yellow and crimson are bad combinations,
particularly in exterior decoration.
The most attractive effects in painting
today are secured through harmony by
gradual Eradsuons OF color The simplest
harmony is that OF tones Of one color,
Brown In shades from light to dark, and
green and gray in similar gradations will
give best results.

The new residence being erected north
OF the Field club for r. h. Sunderland is
attracting unusual attention on account of
the peculiar brick used in the outside walls.
The effect is that OF a huge oriental rug
Tho rich hues Of red, brown, blue and
green and black seem to be interviewer
into indistinct patterns. A close study of
this brick work, taking note Of the lights
and shadows, reveals a different effect
from each different angle Of view
The brick work is unique in that the
mortar joints are double, the usual thick
ness and are raked out to a depth of a
half inch, The result is to throw a shadow
under each brick and intensity the color
production. Another result is to harmoniza
and modify the various shades Of brick nv
inserting a uniform color Of mortar.
The mortar joint Constitutes a harmonic
ing element and has as much to do with
the architectural beauty Of the wall as
does the brick itself.
This particular example OF artistic bricl,
work has been inspected by architects
owners and building committees from sev-
eral different towns. The manufacture
from whose kilns these brick was snlnned
came TO Omaha recently to see this resi-
dence and has complimented Mr.. sunder-
land upon the way the brick has been laid
in tho wall.
The brick work is in the hands OF Booth
& Landtenberg' who have been requested
TO take charge OF large contract at Min
den, Neb, in which the same face brick is
to be used.
