graceful in the simple, slow steps is,
indeed a really accomplished artist. So
1t is with the designer of homes-the
much-desired quality of simple effec-
tiveness is hard to attain.
How is simplicity expressed in home
design? In the first place, the general
shape of the house may be made irregu-
lar, with wall surfaces broken up into
joys which will endanger the builders
nervous system in framing the roof and
require foundation outline of unde-
scribable shape, or 1t may be made rec
tangular in the main which will require
only good, simple construction. The rec
tangular house is much more satisfac-
tory in the arrangement of rooms, the
shape of rooms is better, and there is
less space wasted. In case it is de-
sirable to include special features, such

of windows provided. Each room is
house is rather simple in exterior de-
sign, being in the main rectangular and
having a very simple hip roof without
decoration other than the small dormer.
The walls are finished with beveled sid
ing laid in the usual manner with the
exception of the broad belt which en-.
circles the house just below the stills
of the second floor windows. The
porch roof is practically the only por-
ton of the exterior decorated.
The porch has no rail and the floor
is of vitrified brick. Two sets of French
doors open from the wide living room
upon the porch. The fireplace in the
living room is built into the wall OPP
posite these doors. In addition to the
light which is admitted through the
doors, there are four windows which
add to the general cheerfulness Of the
room. French doors lead to the din
ing room which is a large room having
four windows. The buffet is built
against the wall under window at
the far end of the room.
There is also an entrance into the
house by means of stoop and door
living room and the kitchen. There
are two little windows in the vesti-
bule, one on each side of the door
An attractive staircase is built against
the back wall in the little vestibule.
Near the kitchen there is door lead
ing to the basement.
The kitchen is practically square and
is fitted to save steps for those who do
/. the work in this part Of the house. The
cupboard is arranged in such a manner
that its central portion is built below
the two windows, making a handy
work table where the most light is
available. The sink is handily located
in the corner of the room opposite the
cupboard. The rear porch is essential
ly another room since it is built as a
closed-up porch which may have either
screens or glass panel sash fitted into
the openings in its walls. This porch
will prove to be very handy addition
to the kitchen.
On the second floor there are three
bedrooms, sleeping porch and bath.
A stair hall is centrally located on this
floor from which the attic is reached.
In case only two bedrooms are needed
for sleeping quarters, this plan offers
a pleasant possibility in that the large
rear bedroom and sleeping porch may
easily be transformed into a second
floor living room with attached sun par
Tor. There are French doors between
the two and plenty of windows to make
the combined rooms pleasant.

as small bays, 1t is often possible by
careful designing, especially as regards
their position, to give room for win
dow seats, etc, without taking any
thing from the good qualities of this
type of house. The simplicity of in
teriors consists in the use of straight
lines in trim. Fancy spindles, balus-
tiers, holdings, door cases, window
cases, columns and other fittings are
replaced with trim which will carry
out the idea of simplicity both in it.

There is seldom any loss in real val
ne by such change. The decorative
scheme is often even more effective in
its simplicity than what might be OBJ
tanned with elaborate treatment of de-
tails, and an air of dignity is also found
in the simple treatment. Then again,
the fitting of odd-shaped trim runs the
expense of labor up-the saving of

classic, orders find partial expression,
but the American home is also influ-
enced by modern styles of foreign
countries. Inside and out, modern
American homes show the marks of
many ages. This does not imply that
each home is loaded with a mass of
decorative detail. The really beautiful
home is never overloaded with decora-
tive features of an elaborate nature.
1t is in the simple features that the
good things in all architecture are com
bined in the American homes.
The matter of simplicity has a spe-
cial bearing upon the subject. AS the
strength of Lincolns wisdom was
founded in the force of simple express
sion, so, with quite the same applica-
ton to human understanding, the
strength of architecture type is quite
often based upon its simplicity. On

The study of architectural history is
Interesting especially in its application
to modern buildings. Aside from the
entertaining development of styles and
orders of architecture which are re-
counted and associated in the pages of
this history, it of course has a prac-
teal value to the architect. The larg-
er buildings, especially memorial struc-
lures and public buildings, are nearly
always designed to follow some definite
type of architecture which originated,
perhaps, a great many years ago Even
homes show the evidence of influence
of the old masters in this art. Coun-
try estates are quite often arranged
according to the plan of some of the
ancient estates referred to in the his
tories of the earlier days of civiIiza-
ton.

probably influenced by more different

A DAYS WAGE.

1t is interesting to note the defini-
ton of living wage as formulated by
the court of Industrial arbitration of
New South Wales in 1911:
''The living wage is standardized as
the wage which will do neither more
nor less than enable a worker of the
class to which the lowest wage would
be awarded to maintain himself, his
wife and two children-the average
dependent family-in q house of three
rooms and kitchen, with food, plain
and inexpensive, but quite sufficient in
quantity and quality to maintain
health and efficiency, and with an al
lowance for the following other ex-
penses: Fuel, clothes, boots, furni-
ture, utensils, rates, life insurance,
savings, accident or benefit societies,
loss of employment, union pay, books
and newspapers, train and tram fares,

stiles, amusements and holiday intoxi-
