United States Shipping Board in the
construction OF its housing projects, and
are basing theE promise OF complete
construction by October ! upon actual
performances in other places.

There has been tremendous demand

Likeness without saneness. good lines
In good woods-these are two important
factors in choosing pieces that will har-

will ensure a restful livable apartment

could do.
Thus the home maker who has studied
design in the wood Is able to visualize

assembled the distinctive furniture
where she asks for beauty OF variety
without barbario differences, II she has
kept in view the size OF her rooms and
selected the right piece for the right
place and done all this before she shut
up her home for the summer, then has
she on her return thrice as much time
to give to the selection OF colors and or

The restrictions on the property, how

the erection of houses ranging in cost

range Is wide enough to give every pur-

with their money. IL will not be long
before the general public will arrive at
the same decision.
Another Circumstance that will cause
a general acceptance OF this conviction
and lead to an early building movement
Of wide extent and big proportions Is the
disappointment OF those who go into the
the suburbs seeking n home either to
lease or to purchase and return to the
city to continue paying an increased
rental for at least another year or two.
