considers that first of all q home
should be g. place where the members
,of the family can relax. To build a
house is one thing. but to build a
home is quite another. Speaking out
of her own experience, i'll a practical
manner, she cited the different steps
taken in building, together with various
things to be guarded against. Among
other things she pointed out that the
location must be carefully selected,
and the size Of a lot should be taken
into considera ton. One needs quite
a large background, and could she have
her way. the speaker said. she would
have hedge a. the rear of
every lot, which would be an
other step toward civic improve
ment. A garden. and fruit trees in
a spacious back yard, with flowers and
vines in front, are ideal surroundings
Arriving at the stage where the archi-
tect and carpenter come on the scene
she emphasized that the style of archi-
lecture must be decided by ones self
and where the style chosen is symbol
cal to the chooser, that much more
pleasure is extracted. The hanging Of
iDictures in the home Is also important
rand indicative of the character of the
occupants. Many details in the pro-
gress of the building We're dwelt upon
with especial emphasis upon the i'm
portance of getting seasoned lumber IT
closing, Mrs. Montgomery quoted the
following appropriate thought from
Emerson: After a home is built, the
greatest ornaments of it are the guest:
that visit it,"
