The first OF these two requirements

The first OF these two requirements
may be fulfilled by his stating definite
~ his desires in the matter of speci-
fications to the architect and by the
careful selection of contractor to do
the work, who has established a repu-
tation for high-quality work. The sec
ond requirement is largely up to the
architect, but he may be greatly aided
by his client If the latter has formed
workable idea as to the general char
acteristics of the building he desires.
There was @ time when only the
larger residences were planned" The
man who had limited amount to
spend on his house had to trust more
or less TO the faith which he had in the
man who did the building for him.
Today this man may reasonably expect
to see a carefully studied planS with
definite and binding specifications COW
ering the proposed building before any
thing is decided upon. This develop
ment is logical, since it is wanted by
everyone concerned-the owner be-
cause he wants to see what his money
is going to buy, the builder because
he wishes his client to feel that his
work has fully come up to expecta-
lions.
The design shown in the accompany
ing perspective and floor plan is in
tended to carry out the bungalow type
of construction with some variation
in the usual external appearance. This
is accomplished by the use of roof
design which is mainly of the hip
type, when viewed from the front, but
which is really a combination of both
the hip and gable types. In order to
balance the appearance and relieve the
wide area of shingled surface, little
dormer is built in front.
The sides of the house are finished
in beveled siding. The porch is built
up of cobblestones capped with white
stone or concrete slabs. The corner
columns are carried part way up with
the stone and are then relieved with
tapering square wooden columns. The
floor of the porch is of concrete. This
house is preferably finished in some
dark shade with white trim.
Since the railing of the front porch
is carried quite high, this porch may
be well utilized as another room dur
ing the months when the temperature
will permit. The living room is en-
tered from the porch, the door being
at one side of the steps rather than
in front of them, as is usually the case.
The large fireplace is directly in front
of the door as the living room is en-
tered. This living room is not an ex-
tremely large room, but it is very coy
and should furnish the family great
deal of comfort. A narrow bay is built
into the front wall having one large
and two small windows in it. There
are also two other windows in the
room.
The dining room is a somewhat larg-
er room than the living room and is
fitted with buffet in accordance with

fruit LAXATIVE

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup of

and 1t thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.

modern practice In house design. The
kitchen has the cupboard handy to the
dining room and the sink is placed I'M
der the two windows which furnish
light for this room. The refrigerator
is placed in the rear entry, that the
ice man will not track dirt into the
house.
A hall which leads back from the
dining room makes the two bedrooms
and the bathroom accessible from the
front of the house. The basement is
also entered from this hall. Each bed
room is provided with large closet.
All rooms are made pleasant with
plenty of light, and there is no reason
why any part of the house should ever
be dark or stuffy.
A large basement is provided which
may be found to be of great service
in that it not only provides for laun-
dry, furnace room and vegetable cell
lar, but it also furnishes a place to
store any articles which might be in
the way on the upper floor.

seem just the prettiest of all ways of
finishing them and there are any
number of frilly models to choose
from. Small flowers and fruits and
narrow ribbons in velvet or satin, in
trimmings that set close to the shape
are very much at home on hats of this
kind
More often than not, the flowers or
sprays of small fruits, are set close
against the sides of the crown In hats
of this kind. But the model shown In
the picture is one of those in which
a wreath of tiny leaves with occasion
al small roses, wanders about the
brim, finding the crepe frills Of all
places, the best in which to rest.
The side crown Is slashed to allow
short lengths of ribbon to be drawn
through it at four places. The ribbon
Is brought to the base of the crown
and turned back into a single loop
with an end that extends to the edge
of the frill about the brim. The hat Is
made of silk braid sewed in rows to
georgette crepe with half-inch inter
val of crepe between the rows.
But, for very little girls and for old

Features of House Plan De-

BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRD.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
Is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

IN striving for something different"
some people are led into strange situa-
tons quite often, This is a thing to be
avoided by the average man in plan
ming his home. He must have charac-
Ter in his house, but let that character
be something which will endure to be
admired many years after it was orig
mated. Freak ornamentation is all
right in its place, but its purpose
should be to attract attention not to
stimulate admiration.
Because the bungalow type of house
. is especially adapted to it, there may
be more ornamentation worked into it's
design than could safely be used on
some of the other types of houses.
Furthermore, common practice has es-
tablished the ornamented bungalow as
a structure which is seen wherever
there are bungalows. The warning
should consist not so much in the ma
ture of a denunciation of ornamental
ton in general as it should be a rec
ommendation of the simple methods of
characterization.
Occasionally the searcher after
fancy effects is startled to find that
the most simple designs have the
strongest appeal. There is really moth
ing strange about this fact, for it is
true of almost every matter in which
general popular taste has an influence.
The evidence of quality, expressed in
simple dignity, is the strongest and
most lasting manner in which to build
character into any structure.
The matter of cost is one which the
average man must give careful con-
