D0NT'S' FOR HOME BUILDERS
Serious Thought Should Be Given Il
Things That Should Be Omitted
From New Building.

If you are intending to build a home,
as doubtless you are, don't in plan3sas
devote all your energies to tho 4d1rya
you need in the building, but rstaer
give serious thought to the things that
can well be omitted, thereby SAVES
you expense and future trouble ard
annoyance. Some Of these are brieny
outlined In the following "don'ts:"
Don't, when planning the home, for
get that there is just one best layout
for the house on any plot, and that lay
out can be determined only through
long, patient and careful study Of all
the surrounding conditions.
Don't forget that the unslghtly radi.
ator may be successfully concealed by
grilles. There are to be had special
grille designs suited to the various
orders of decoration.
Don't, when laying out the lighting
system of the new house, fail to plan
for adequate switch control. This ID
one of the most important features In
the well-equipped modern home.
Don't, if you wish to give an air OF
spaciousness to the rooms, fail to
eliminate all unnecessary details.
Don't plan your new home without
taking into consideration the posi-
bilities of the grounds. In these days
Of ou%t-of-door living, the garden, the
pergola, the sun-room, the arbor and
the tea-room are all really extensions
Of the house itself.

Brick houses can be built Of any

some consideration as to the former.
DO not build your brick house the

for brick is a very different material
from lumber. Gene'ally speaking.
brick houses should Sc Of simple rec.

a plain bay window or wing. 1t is DIFF.
