There Is a wonderful difference in
this world between the house that is
simply a place to live in, with four
walls n a roof, and the house which
is a real home. The difference is not
so much in the house itself as in the
combined effect or union of the house
with its surroundings. There are GER
tain styles of architecture that seem
to blend naturally with shrubs, vines
and flowers. With such a house any
work done along the lines of amateur
landscape gardening seems worth
while, for every nook and cor
ner of the yard. every Towering shrub
and every tree throwing out its wide
branches seems to add to the coy,
home-like appearance Of the place.
This is one Of the surest tests we
have of excellence In architectural
design. Some houses never seem to
be at ease, or in accord with the site
on which they are built. Every ef-
fort to improve and beautify the
grounds serves only to bring out the
more strongly the plain awkwardness
of the house itself, which is of neces-
sity the very heart and center of the
whole picture. A welldesigned resi-
dence. on the other hand, l care not

and blend with It's natural surround
ings.
In this connection It may be re-
marked that the use of cement plaster
has done perhaps more to bring about
this desired union between the house
and grounds than any other building
material. The sand, cement and grav-
ell from which the plaster Is made be-
ing from earth products seem natural

berry. What could be more restful and
inviting than the cool, silver gray, the
natural cement color, contrasting with
