HAYES HOME REMoDRIEp

4 Mr.. and Mrs. r. a. Hayes Jr. have
\ recently demonstrated the value OF
rebuilding q home, having success
fully created new exterior and in
terror Of their cottage on South
Shilling.
The walls and foundation were
good, SO why destroy them when
they could be made enthusiastically
useful as we'll as harmonious in the
new design. {
The entire building was given q
more stately appearance by covering
the old weatherboard walls with q
new dress Of brick veneer and the
addition of a number OF beautiful
French easement windows in clus-
ters that open directly upon the
lawn by the use of two or three ce-
ment steps that extend the width of
the clustered easements. ,8A4,,5
The entire design Is individual in
appearance, and proves that Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayes are nature lovers, for
they have brought the out of doors
into their immediate fireside as
nearly as possible in this climate.
The root for this enlarged house is
still just one roof, without any
porch additions or leantos.
The interior il spacious, tho
simple in design, finished in the
wood Of the gum tree that has been
treated to a warm brown that
blends in perfect harmony with the
mellow yellow tints OF the walls.
There is an interesting breakfast
room SO perfectly arranged as to
suggest cool dishes OF strawberries
and cream in summer or piping hot
mullins. and coffee In winter.
The sleeping porch recommends
long extra morning nap stolen at the
peril of duties forgotten. The in |!
teresting outlook from the dining
room would be the only temptation /
to leave the table in summer, but in
cold weather drift to the entirely j
satisfactory living room with it's
open fireplace whose front will be
flanked by easy chairs would be :,
sought.
A hot air furnace that uses hard,
or Anthracite coal, has been in
stalled, hard coal being used be-
cause it makes less SCOT and dust to
soil the walls and draperies and be-
cause it is safer and less subject to
extremes Of heat during the long
days when both of the Hayes are at
the Gift Shop.
Besides the usual modern things
found in the way of sewing room,
bath room and their fixtures, the
kitchen has the smoke funnel over
the electric range, so that when
meat or anything else is cooking
that makes smoke or odors, press
ing button sets an electric, fan to
operating in the funnel and draws
the smoke out of doors with its
molecules of floating oils they can
not lodge on walls or draperies.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes are now get
ting more fully acquainted with
heir new possessions by moving in
and settling down to enjoy them.
The construction work has occupied
much of the summer and local work
men and artisans engaged in the
ask have taken keen interest in
creating just what was wanted a
hing that will be appreciated by !
PEOPLE who have had experience in
building and who have met with OPP !,
position in workmen insisting at in
ervals that certain kinds of con-
truction cannot be done or that it
would not be satisfactory If it were :
lone. Those who understand the !;
General prevalence of those obstacles !
will rejoice with the Hayes that they
lad fine cooperation in that respect
nd 1t made building more satisfac- \
DRY and less trying on their
atience.
