first tell him Of the various types Of styles
Of houses from which choice can be made
and under what conditions one might be

tunity to think over and decide intelligently
what kind OF house he wants.
We Will go into the question OF cost.
in terms that the man who Is not builder
will understand. by means OF a table OF
figures. we will make 1t possible for him
To find out for himself the approximate
cost OF the house he has in mind. so that he
will know whether to go ahead with his
project or wait till he has gotten together
little more money. Along with this con-
sderation of cost, we will show him lin case
his appropriation Is small for the house he
wants. how to plan and design 1t so that
he Will obtain the desired floor space at
the least possible expense. Or, in case his
appropriation can be increased we will
tell him how far he should go in the em-
bellishment Of his house, so that he will not
spend more than is wise.
We will help him TO determine: the most
economical materials for certain types of
houses and for certain localities: the best
time to build how To superintend the con-
structon; how TO discriminate between good
and bad work how to make pleasant and
profitable his relations with the builder
and many other facts which the prospec-
tive owner should know.

And then about the architect: What
particular part Of the work must he en-
trusted to him, and how much should he
charge? Are his services necessary? II so
now should we go about choosing him >
These are questions which deserve deep
thought and discussion.
But, regardless Of how the owner NAV
decide to carry out his building program
we want to help him get results both prac-
teal and artistic Appearance and artistic
merit are as important to the owner as
purely practical considerations He has
learned that there is as much real pleasure
in living in a house which has architectural
beauty and charm as there is in placing
therein objects and pictures that are beau
tiful and furniture that is good taste, We
want our new house to have an atmosphere

want it to be simple and dRnifled. and yet.

Begin at the Top

The first thing to do by way OF house,
be cleaned outside the house taken down
and sent to the cleaner. This has the added
advantage of getting It out Of the way
while the special cleaning is going on.
Always begin housekeeping at the top
of the house and work down. The time
spent in the attic or storerooms can take
place before any one but the housewife
need dream that housecleaning is under
way.
The reason that the expert housecleaner
begins at the top is because the dust and
rubbish are necessarily tracked down
toward the kitchen.

THE CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT TOO

II was a proper regard for the hyeienic
aspect OF Bobby's handling things. but
this idea was dispelled when I saw her
give both children apples she had Just
bought from a fruit stand without
thought of washing them
Handling things is a part OF the childs
development. just as much as asking
questions. seeing things or learning new
words and the person who attempts 20
suppress this desire is retarding its de.
Ne,obment. A child as soon as he begins
to notice those around him reaches out

you say? Not at all. She had explored
and found out what she wanted TO know.
and after that her mother could leave her
Ior a moment with the calm assurance
that she would not go near the fire.
Mothers are so often blind to their
children's real needs. The child with a
soul and mind and body impatient of
development is the most precious DOS
session woman may have, yet so often
