Then, too, the shape Of the house
Is such that every foot of the inte-

from the floor plan that accompanies

1t was not until the last few years,
comparatively, that American archi-
tects recognized the beauty of the
homes that were erected in New Eng
land during the first century after the
landing Of the Pilgrims. Many, Of
these homes are still in splendid
state Of preservation and still are oc-
.cupied. But until recently their own
ers could not see any beauty in their
plain lines and weather-beaten exte-
rf0rs. ..'.. s.-ss =,
Now, however, this type OF archi-
lecture, which was originated by the
builders Of the Seventeenth century, is
most popular. Colonial homes Of all
sizes and constructed Of all the differ
ent sorts of building materials are
erected Throughout the country. The
chief charm of the exterior of a CO,

The cost of this house is not great.
It's design being such that it can be,
erected with the utmost economy in
materials and labor. At the same
time it provides accommodations for
a family of more than the average
size. The arrangement is such that
the work of caring for it can be done
with minimum of effort, while all
the rooms are airy and comfortable.
Home builders who are planning up
on erecting that. contemplated
house this year cannot do better than;
select such design as this. The CO.:
lonial is style of architecture that
marks it's owner as an American, who
is proud Of the building genius of the
early settlers; at the same time, the
colonial, to many minds, Is the most
beautiful Of all styles Of homes.
, During the last few months the
cost Of building, like almost every
thing else, has come down remarkably.
While prices still are higher than in
1914 when it cost less to build than
at any time during the last half CEN
fury, they are much lower than during
any of the war, years, or the last two
years. Homes are needed and needed
badly, and everyone connected with
the building business predicts that
this will be banner year. -
: This being true, it is good Judgment
!, to start building operations as early
as possible. This will insure that the
new home is ready for occupancy early
in the summer. 's~,esaa ~. +. ..

MISS Rape A RICH
AND TALENTED GIRL;
NOTED FOR GOWNS
First Appearance In Film
World Four Years Ago.

Virginia Rape, the beautiful girl
whose tragic death followed party
in the rooms OF Fatty" Arbuckle at
the st. Francis Hotel. San Francis
co, was we'll known as motion pic
ture actress, artists model and de
signer of women's clothes.
She was reputed to have indie
pendent wealth as the result OF oil
investments. Her home was in Los
Angeles at 504 North Wilton place,
where she lived with her aunt.
She first appeared in motion pic
lures about four years ago In the
last season or two she had played
leads with weli-known male stars.
She appeared as leading woman in
two pictures produced by Henry
Iehrman, and was reported engaged
to Lehrman. The pictures were com
edies.
Noted For Her Gowns
Miss Rappe's aunt acted as chap
cron for the girl, her friends say,
nd always accompanied her to the
action picture studios when she
vent to work before the camera.
She was regarded as one or the
best dressed women in motion-pic-
lures and is said frequently to have
won prizes for dancing at Santa
Monica resort frequented by NOV
ing picture people.
Miss Rape was Is years old, was
reared in Chicago and first came in
to prominence in that city. This
was in 1913, when she was earning
salary of $4,000 year as tray
cling art model.
Interviewed by the Chicago Ex-
aminer, she gave advice TO Ameri-
can girls and suggested that they
choose original ways of making
their living.
Made Hit On ship
She next appeared in the news
early in 1914 when she returned
from Paris with another Chicago
girl, Helen Patterson. The girls had
made q sensation on the liner Bal
tic during the trip to this country
by their dancing attire.
Both landed in Chicago wearing
pink pantalettes, or boomers
which showed below their skirts
