BUILD WITH IDEA OF BEAUTY
House Should Never Be Planned Sole iy Along Lines of Economy ana
 Practical Utility.

An earnest plea for more beauty m building is submitted hy a writer Tn the magazine Toucnstone, who says in part:
 "Buildine home should be ap- proached with reverence as well as iovous enthusiasm There is no ad- venture in life more fraught with TO- manee than the creating of a home. We are apt to turn to the past for precedent in architectural styles, whereas We should concern ourselves chiefly with the honest expression of our needs and surroundings.
 aLove of beauty was almost q re- lfgion with the Greeks. To build an ugly thing was a miSdemeanor punish able with ostracism. Our country would be q much more delightful and much more agreeable place to live in if our home builders were guided by wise architects who took as much thought for beauty as they do for economy and profit. Every home is an investment. and a beautiful home returns far more interest on the money expended than does an ugly one.
 "Would it not be well for us, now that We are facing an era of home building such as the world has seldom known. te pause little and approach our task with greater carefulness? We should remember that we are building for the future as well as for present delight and that our descend ants may turn to our work with re- spect, as we look into the past and bow before the genius of the ancient
