to both sleeping rooms and the living

Taken from both the standpoint of
exterior convenience and comfort. this
design Is an unusually good one for
the home builder of limited means,
who must provide for family OF av-
ernge size--three or four persons.
Building n home to suit ones own
needs and to conform to individual
ideas of what home should be in
appearance and arrangement is the
most satisfactory way of acquiring a
more or less permanent place to live.
BY building, the owner can select the
design. and decide on what materials
shall be used. When house is pur-
chased already built, there usually Is
a feature or two that do not quite fit
IN with the purchasers Ideas of room
arrangement. and often the remodel
ing brings the cost of the house up
to the amount 1t would have required
to build the house.
But. It should be remembered, not
all the ideas OF the inexperienced
home builder are practical. That
is why It always is expedient to con
suit an architect, or an experienced
