OLD AGE BECOMING TO BRICK
Tones Bleach Out and Grow Soft 40
years Go 5y--House of This Ma
terlal Should Be Of Simple Design.

b1ck houses grow old beautifully.
Brick, Ii 1t is good in color and texture,
taxes ON age becomingly. Brick tones
bleach out and grow soft as years 20
by, giving that happy effect of fitness
SO prevalent In nature. "Brand-new.
ness" wears off quickly and brick
building soon sinks into harmony with
the trees and flowers surrounding 1t.
Brick is Of every tone and hue, from
Light buff to purplish black. Some
shades are beautiful and some are not,
30 the same discriminating taste must
be displayed in selecting brick that is
used in selecting any other house ma
terial. In considering brick, remember,
first, that there is no such thing as
style" In architecture. That is to say,
style In the sense that this type or that
type is In style or out of style and ac-
cordingly should not be used.
Brick houses can be built of any
shape or size, but brickwork deserves
some consideration as to the former.
Do not build your brick house the
same shape you would frame house,
for brick Is a very different material
from lumber. Generally speaking,
brick houses should be OF simple rec
tangular form, with here and there
plain bay window or wing. 1t is diff
tcult to build brickwork when the out
line of building is too complex, and
for that reason the most practical de-
signs for brick houses are somewhat
simple In character.
Brickwork is excellent when COM
bined with cement plaster. This is q
favorite type of design In England
where country houses are remarkably
successful, and where the compost
tons seem to harmonic so well with
the beautiful landscape conditions.

D0NT'S' FOR HOME BUILDERS
Serious Thought Should Be Given 20
Things That Should Be Omitted
From New Building.

II you are intending to build home,
as doubtless you are, don't in planning
devote all your energies to the things
you need in the building, but rather
give serious thought to the things that
can well be omitted, thereby saving
you expense and future trouble and
annoyance. Some of these are briefly
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 unsightly 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 Is
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 Out-of-door living, the garden, the
pergola, the sun-room, the arbor and
the tea-room are all really extensions
of the house itself.
