The attra ctiveness of the houses built
for sale is one of the marvels of modern
business. How is it possible that so much
thought and attention to details can be
given to a single enterprise? That is one
Of the questions which a person asks him
self in going through a dwelling of this
description. II is quite evident the entire
scheme of domestic life. and how it can
be made easier In its daily movements

The comelness of life and grace and
beauty in it's surroundings have not been
overlooked by these modern home build
ers, so that not alone is the interior
bright and smart. but the parking in front
and the space in the rear have not been

1t is quite evident that a house is not

Anticipating Requirements.
There is hardly phase of modern life
for which provision is not made in the
house that is built to sell. Even garages
are now to be found. What is impressive
about the houses that are placed on the
market and built with that end is the
provision which is made for not only
comfortable living, but also for the lux
ury of living. Lights are turned on all
over the houses by means of electric but
tons; there are ice refrigerators sunk in
the wall outside. so that the iceman can
fill them up from the outside and does
not have to come i'm the house to per-
form that necessary daily service.
A supply of hot water in the bathroom
no longer depends on the range fire, as
there is an independent gas heater in the
basement or cellar which heats up the
water in the pipes. In some houses only
gas range is provided and there is no
coal range or kitchen stove at all. In
water heater attachment is, of course,
evident. A good deal of attention is paid
by the planners of such houses to the
Closets and as rule every room is pro-
vided with such a convenience, and be-
sides the mere closet room they are usu-
