Almost every woman dreams
about house OF hsr own unless
she has already acquired one-and
then sometimes, not quite satisfied
with the one she has, she drcams
about another that shall be more
conveniently arranged, co2ier.
characterized by greater individu-
ality.
And it you are one OF these
women who is house dreaming you
are constantly having ideas that
you mean TO bear in mind against
the time when you will be In a po-
sitiOn to make that dream house a
reality. But usually these ideas
come and go through your mind.
You think you will remember
them, but often you do not. You
see some arrangement in the
kitchen OF q friends house and
you plan that you will have II in
yours, because 1t would do away
with great many useless steps
Then you see a picture in maga-
zine devoted to house building or
house decorating that contains
detail that attracts you very
much. You make up your mind
that that Ia something you will
have in your new house-but you
don't make note Of II and so 1t
probably goes out of your mind as
easily as II came In.
Sometimes you have a veritahle
inspiration. You see In your minds
eye an arrangement OF windows or
a door that so appeals to your
aesthetic sense that you are in a
verltable ecstacy for days, You feel
that you cannot live cOntentedly
until you have n house in which
that idea shall be materialized. II
would give your home individual
ity and beauty. Your eCstacy turns
10 disappointment because at the
expiration of a week you see your
self no nearer the time when you
will be able to build that house OF
your dreams, and then the. idea
that Inspiration, vanishes with the
rest
In the course OF n year you
doubtless have ideas enough 10
make the most charming and indi-
yidual little house in the com mum
ity. Some OF the ideas might not
be practicable, but enough OF them
would to make your house a gem.
And II usually happens that
when the time comes to build, II
comes suddenly. II may be that
your husband comes home with a
smiling countenance and tells you
something that he has been plan
ming for some time has happened,
He did not tell you before for fear
Il would fall through-and he does
not like TO disappoint you. Any
way he has been figuring things
out. made little money uneNpect-
edly, and--Well, it's Just up te you
to make your selection OF four or
five lots he has in mind, and then,
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground this spring, you will begin
building. For a week or so you
are In a whirl trying 10 settle on
the lot and then comes the news
that the builder will talk over
plans. He has a lot OF blue prints
and you are 10 take your choice,
make suggestions and talk things
over. In fact, husband has made
an appointment with the builder
for next Saturday afternoon. II is
best to settle on the plans well In
advance. Where, then, are your
ideas, your dreams, your inspira-
tions that would hase raised that
house out OF the plans of the com
monplace, that would have made
IL your house rather than somo one
any ones else house? Usually
they have flown and you are in too
great state Of excitement TO con-
jure them back again.
But suppose you had kept a lit
tie note book where from day to
