loted to the purchase of materials.
Buildings hastily designed or those
having the plans merely drawn" quite
often cause their owners to feel that
they have hardly obtained their
moneys worth. The reason is either
because of wasted time or wasted
materials. The small cottage which is
really designed for economy in order
that high-grade materials may be used,
must have every detail so worked out
that when board is sawed 10 obtain
a piece for one particular place in the
structure, there will also be place for
what remains of that board. All struc-
lures are designed with the idea con-
stantiy in mind that wherever wood is
used it must be taken from pieces in
lengths carried in the stocks of aver
age lumber yards. This fact has
critical bearing on the success of the
small cottage design. Considerable
material may sometimes be saved by
adjusting the arrangement of rooms,
but the economy idea must not be al
lowed to dominate to the extent that
the comfort or convenience of the
home is impaired. The waste of time
in building is related in some ways, to
the waste of materials. Let us sup
pose that the plans of a small cottage
do not include sheet of details" :"

signer to show the builder how certain

Parsees Are stranqe People.

The Parsees are a highly unusual
people in every way. They combine a
steadfast and centuries-old devotion to
a strange religion with extraordinary
abilities in managing the affairs of this
world. They dwell in southern India,
particularly in Bombay, and they are
easily the richest and most powerful
element in that rich and powerful sec
ton. In the city of Bombay the Par
sees form less than one-ffteenth part
of the population, and yet Bombay is
at bottom Parsee city.
The Parsees show that combination
of intelligence and energy which seems
the birthright of peoples driven from
their home by religious prosecutions, as
witness the Puritans and the Hugue-
nOts. The name Parsee signified orig
inally simple persian" The Parsees
are the descendants of Zoroastrians
driven from Persia by Mohammedan
persecution. Almost without exception
they are able, intelligent and cultured
people.

and contrasting with the pure white of
the porch copings and the trim. A
house of this kind should be unob-
trusive; striking colors should be-
avoided the soft, warm colors tend to-
remove the appearance of "cheap-
ness" which is all too easily evident
in small house decorated in exces-
sive brilliancy. In selecting the face
brick, rather dark-toned, soft-texture
type would be appropriate, the white
trim being relied upon to brighten the
building sufficiently. Mortar of a.
harmonizing, dark color is preferable.
It will be noticed that there are two
kinds of walls shown on the plan. This
convention is used to indicate that the
house is built as a brick veneered
structure. The brick are indicated by
the solid black and the cross-hatchedi
walls are of wood. The brick veneer is.
tied to the wood studs or sheathingT
with galvanized iron wall ties or cut
nails every four or five courses.
The plan furnishes an interesting
study in that every inch of the inclosedi
space is used economically and the ar
rangement is made with a view to
minimizing the labor of housekeeping.
The living room and dining room,
placed In the 81" arrangement shown,
form a commendable feature in that,
with the large cased opening betweeni
them, they are practically one room
and yet the privacy of the dining room
is secured. Bedrooms arranged with
the bath between cannot be improved
upon in the matter of convenience.
The kitchen with its handy pantry can
be relied upon to please the housewife.
There is basement under the main
part of the house.

Not Hard Trick to Teach.

It appears rather wonderful to see
a dog shut the door at word of COM
mand, but it is quite simple trick. It
works best with a rather large dog.
Go to a door that swings easily and
set it about six inches open. Then bal,
ance a biscuit on the handle and draw
the dogs attention to it, saying, "Shut
the door," He will naturally jump
against the door to get the biscuit, and
his weight will shut it. Then praise
him for it. By doing this several times
a day he will gradually get to associate
the action with Ae words "Shut the
door," and will do the trick when told,
even though there is no biscuit in evi.

of the parts of the structure, about
which there might be some question,
are to be built. 1t is then up TO the,
builder how these parts shall be built
and in case he is not acquainted with
the ideas of the designer, there is a
possibility that the method which he
decides to use will result in both a.
waste of materials and time. 1t is
important that anyone who expects to
build a house of this kind be certain
that the plans include detail showing
exactly how the foundation, walls, roof
and all other parts of the building are
to be constructed and also a detail of
exterior trim. This is especially iIp-
portant when the plans are prepared
by someone other than the builder who.
does the construction work. 1t pre-
vents mistakes, and mistakes always
represent loss and dissatisfaction,
The Importance of high quality con-
struction in small houses cannot be
overestimated. Original cost some
times acts like the balm that deadensl
pain only to increase the discomfort
after its soothing effect has been spent.
The poorly constructed small houset
which appears to be good investment
at the time of its construction may
gradually assume a different aspectl
under, say, the action of a particular
ly cold winter. With the present high
cost of fuel, it seems good judgmentl /
to spend little money in building the
house so that it is easy to heat and
then in the installation of heaing
system which is designed for econom-
i ical operation. A double advantage Isl
obtained in building for heat insula-
ton in that the same forethoughtE
which keeps the coal bills down to mini !
mum in the winter also helps to keep
the house cool during the summer.
The appearance and arrangement of
the house shown in the accompanying
photograph and floor plan may be used
as an example Of careful design of the
small cottage. While the building Isl
exceedingly simple in every way, its ap-!
pearance is pleasing even more than
is suggested by the photograph. The
real appearance value of the house Isl
realized only when the graded, soft
colors of the face brick walls are SEEN,

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD,

The beauty of face brick house con-
struction is recognized by everyone as
an accepted quality. Likewise, ex-
perience has proved that face brick
construction stands for low upkeep
cost, reduced fire risk from exterior
sources, reduced insurance rate, ready
sale value and permanence. A build
ing material which possesses these
qualities has, naturally, a strong ap-
peal to the prospective home. builder.
The question of cost, in the average
case, is of the utmost Importance. In
the earlier methods of using face
brick, this type of construction
became associated with the class
of high-cost buildings. The man
who wanted to build a little five
room cottage could hardly consid-
er brick as possible material for the
construction of the walls. If he built

with silver buttons, and high hats with
silver bands and cGekades. Conscious
of their Importance, they looked neith-
er to the right nor the left, but with
proud eyes gazing into space remained
immovable. Such magnifcence could
only be the product of an old, pictur-
esque and self-respecting aristocracy,
possibly the carriage of royalty.

Modern methods of manufacture, dis
tribution and construction, however,
make it possible for anyone who so de-
sires to build small cottage of this
sort with face brick exterior walls at a
cost no higher than that of any other
type of high-grade construction. In
order to realize the maximum economy
which is necessary in order that face
brick may be used at low cost, the
building must be designed in such a
manner that there is no waste which

Poet Handicapped by Name.

The handicap of poets name was
illustrated in the case of Mr.. William
Wordsworth, who was the eldest sur
vfving grandson of the poet, and who
died at Rome so years old. Mr.. Words
worth was a great scholar and poet
himself of high distinction. A volume
of his sonnets was issued privately
some years ago. On account of the
similarity of his name with that of his
grandfather, he always refused to pub
lish any of his poetical writings,
though pressed to do so by people
of such high authority as Matthew Ar
mold, who described one of his sonnets
as the finest in the English language.--
