dining room. and the convenience1
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 1t 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
a 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 IL the
figure decided upon should be exceed
ed disaster might follow.
1t is just as we'll, too. that this is SO.
1t leads to economy. and close figuring
and careful attention to the details of
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-
fif u-hop runtiru
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
ficult 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. II 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 a 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 il 1t is Of pretty good size, the
only safe way is to make firm res

the little costly Injuries and to retain
only the essentials which are neces-
sary for comfort. Many features can

office yesterday with simply this ad-
dress: ITO the man whose picture is
on the other side" The card on the
reverse side contained the pictures of
DR.. Joseph NJ. Ganey and DR.. Gordon l.
Hislop of this city. The card was
turned over to DR.. Ganey.
1t was sent by l.. B. Meimeyer,
fruit grower of Los Angeles. The pic
ture was taken by him on board the
Prince Heinrich en- route from Alex
andria to Naples just as the steamer
was getting into Naples. Apparently
he had forgotten the names Of his fel-
low passengers. but did remember that
they were from this city. SO he sent
the card on with the odd directions.
The card was mailed from Naples.
In this connection probably the most
peculiar address was that Of letter
coming into this country-one that
came to New York from a city in Ger
many. 1t was addressed: Third
House in America" and bore the name
of German. The New York post
Office was nonplussed. Finally one Of
the men got an idea. He went to the
pier of line in Hoboken where he
thought the man to whom the letter
belonged might have landed with 9TH
ers from Germany. Then he walked
up three houses and went in. Sure
enough. that was the destination of
the letter The addressee didn't know
how to tell his friend in far-off Ger
many how to direct the letter. but Just
told him the house was the third in
America. and that was the way the
letter came to the right man.-New

When going into . building project
there are three considerations Of i'm
portance that present themselves In
the first place there 10 the design or
outward appearance of the structure.
next the arrangement Of the dwelling
inside for comfort and convenience.
and last the cost Of the building.
There Is apt to be q wide range Of
choice in regard TO the first factor
the design or outward appearance of
the house. This IL a matter to be de-
cided according to the taste of the
owner and the requirements of the
building site. 1t is proverbial that
tastes differ widely: SO there can be
no definite fixed requirements along
that line. Also the needs of different
locations vary greatly. 1t has been
said that we plan the outside of our
houses to please the neighbors, or to
make brave show from the street.
Accordingly this first factor, that of
outward appearance, may at times be
of very little real Importance. although
Of course everyone would prefer to
live in as attractive dwelling place
as possible.
All things considered, the interior Of
a residence is far more important than
the exterior. Real satisfaction in a
home comes from the comfortable,

him 80. He almost chuckled with re-

he thought Of how he would recite his
unique adventure at his club in the
