In the winter months, when the
ground is covered with snow and the
fire burns in the stove, is the season.
when the family dreams OF the new
house. Nor is there any more lapda-
able ambition than to own a home.
The curse of modern life is the
necessity that compels millions to
live in rented apartments or houses.
And every normal man who pays rent
hopes some time to own home of his
own. His children, he feels. have
right to live under a roof of their own,
and it is his ambition to give them
what is their right.
Once there was a man who decided
to build himself a home. This man
had few notions about what he want
ed in his house when it was finished,
he also knew how much he wanted TO
expend in the construction of it. He
had gone into all the details and had
figured out all about the interior trim
and the kind of glass he wanted in the
house. Every detail he had figured
out and he had made up his mind
about everything before he consulted
his architect
Then in the natural order of events
he went to see his architect and laid
before him his ideas. Everything was
clear and the architect proceeded to
draw up his plans after the directions
given. Then the next step was the
asking of bids from contractors. There
were six bids, and all were within a
hundred dollars Of one another The
architect felt sure that the figures
were right in each case and advised
his client to make his selection. But
the client came to the conclusion that
the work could be done for less money
and he asked for bids from other con-
tractors. The results was the offer OF
one an unknown contractor, to do the
work for ridiculously low Figure
The client wanted the contract let to
this man, but the architect, who had
experience. advised him to give the

It was not satisfactory from any point

woke up to the fact that he had made
a mistake. All to late he realized the
fact that he had sacrificed the quality
and appearance Of his home to save a
few dollars. The unknown contrac-
tor had built the house at the price
he had agreed on, but the house was
far from being the one the owner had
expected.
