ana making them look so DISTINGUISHED.
me Old house is mellow and restful;
no wonder the architects initiate it in
new work and keep down the sugges-
tion of newness as much as possible.
Cites Practical Standpoint.
The suburbanite of small means ha s
teal standpoint. Will it pay to patch
and change the old house that is offer
ed at a bargain? That depends on cir
cumstances. Old is a relative term.
Sometimes 1t will not pay to fix up a
house twenty years old, and it will be
worth while to patch a dwelling which
has been standing half or even three
quarters of a century.
The house of no great age may be-
long to the era of shoddy construction
and may be prematurely old, while the
ancient structure is yet stanch and
serytceable for another generation. We
laugh at the architecture of our faith
erS, but when we see the timbers and
the workmanship they put into their
houses We feel that the laugh is on US.
TO determine whether an ANTIQUE
dwelling is worth fixing up we should
start with a study of the foundations,
inside and outside the cellar If the
stone or brick work has quite fallen
away II will be rather expensive to re-
place it with new foundations. but If
the walls stand true and merely SUI
perffctal mortar is out the job will be
easy. Portland cement was not known
in the old days, SO it is safe bet that
the mortar, especially on the outside,
is loose

PAINT PEELS FROM BRICKS
WHEN APPLIED TOO SOON
Failure to Stick Also Due to Oil,
SCOT and Quality Of
Material.

Several reasons are given by painting
authorities for paint peeling from brick
work When paint is applied too soon
after repointing the lime in the mortar
destroys the oil in the paint by saponi-
fication. The process Of peeling may be
recounted as follows. according to the
Record Guide:
the lime or cement motar joint and soon
Here the mortar, If fresh or Improperly
mixed, had chance to blister or saponify
the oil in the paint First there is a slight
abrasion, then an open wound in the paint
film. The first rain permits moisture to
creep. into the brick pores behind the pro-
tecting coat, and in winter freezing forces
off other parts of the paint over the brick
itself. In summer the action of the sun
on the wet surface draws the alkiles in
the lime or cement mortar joint and soon
loosens the paint from the brick surface.
IL bricks are greasy when laid up paint
will not adhere well to them. If the paint
is applied over a coat Of SCOT SO thick as
to form an absorbent blotter for the paint
oils before they reach the brick texture,
peeling also is likely to result.

Methods Whereby Chimneys, Foundations
and Fireplaces May Be Improved Out

Taking an old, decrepit house and re-
modelling it into a commuters dream
is fascinating proposition, writes
John r. Mcmahon in the New York
Times.
Probably there is strain Of the critic
in all Of US" he says I'VE all want to re-
model something Some rewrite Shakes

houses. We want to bring things up to
date 1t is easier to patch the old than
never build their own nests. but take
old ones and fix them up a little.
After the first flush of remodeling
enthusiasm 1T may occur to us that it
is not so easy as it seems to modernize
the home architecture of our sires. In
some respects it is about as untoward
as coaxing a four-story building of
1850 into skyscraper Not only in de-
tails, but fundamentally, have houses
changed to suit modern ideas and con-
ditions.
Take the numerous bedrooms of our
fathers, built like the cells which bees
construct for numerous progeny: we
ask If the dwelling was intended for
hotel or an orphan asylum 1t makes
a modern small farilied man a little
frightened just to look through one of
these old houses.
The Proper Thing Today.
Furthermore. unless we are artists.
we feel there is something a bit shabby
about the patching-up enterprise. We
would rather tell our friends about our
new house than our remodeled old
shack. But, thank goodness. this OBJ
lection is not at all serious. Quite the
