coy and inviting features of the living

provided not only in the kitchen and
pantry, but also in the other parts of
the house. 1t matters little what the
outside appearance is-granted of
course it is trim and neat-if the in
terror is comfortable and home-like
and SO arranged that the work can be
done easily
The third factor, that of cost, very
often seems to be, if not most impor-
tant, the most important of the three
Most home builders have to set a def
mite figure and make up their minds
not to go over it. The outside design
can be changed from one style to an
other, and the interior arrangement is
matter of choice, no one plan being
absolutely essential. But with the cost
it is different. Most of us have to
carefully determine, before building,
just what can be afforded; and if the
figure decided upon should be exceed
ed disaster might follow.
1t is just as well, too, that this is SO.
It leads to economy and close figuring
the work, and this leads to satisfac-
tory results.
1t seems to be quite the habit of
many building contractors, and also
with the architects, to be too optimis-
tic e1hen quoting on preliminary esti-
mates. The prospective builder is
misled, perhaps unintentionally, into
believing that much more elaborate
structure can be built for the amount
he has decided on than is in reality
the case. The little $4,000 bungalow,
of the story, which cost $4,000 to
build, is an example.
The fact of the matter is, it is a diff
f1cult if not impossible matter to make
an accurate estimate on preliminary
plans. The little extra features that
are not shown, but which are usually
included in the specifications as the
planning proceeds, amount up to an
astonishing total. If all the desirable
features that the banker has in his
new $4,000 residence are attempted
to be incorporated into the plans for a
simple little $4,000 house it is certain
that there will be wide difference be-
tween the preliminary estimates and
the final figures offered in the final
bids based on the complete plans and
specifications.
For house of moderate cost. espe-
cially II it is of pretty good size. the
only safe way is to make a firm res
olution, and stick to it, to cut out all
the little costly Injuries and to retain
only the essentials which are necesl
sary for comfort Many features. can

which exceeds the value of the same products

about 5000 600 less than the record crop OF
