elevation upon which the house is to
be placed. In the country, where one
usually has larger area from which
to pick site, the problem is much
simpler-room must of course be al
lowed for the stable or garage. Ease
of access must be considered, and also
the relation of the dwelling to other
parts of the property. But if it has
been decided to place the house on the
side of knoll certain things must be
studied in order to secure the best
results. The shape of the knoll itself
should determine the contour of the
house. Placed on hilltop where the
ground falls away in all directions. the
lines of the house should conform to
those of the site. The slope of the
roof should repeat that of the hillside.

Do not ask girl to do anything for
you that you would not want your sis

them as such; don't take the bloom OF
