You cannot create a beautiful
home with an ugly house as a
starting point. That doesn't mean
you must have a large OF elabor-
ate house. 1t mean a well-design-
ed house, the right size for your
particular family's needs, be it three
rooms or twelve. Too large a house
is in as bad taste as too small Il
house, for it represents needless
waste of space. labor, time, mater
ial, and cost of construction and
upkeep.
The house pictured here is an ad-
mirable one in many ways. To be-
gin with t S well designed. 1t will
not go out of style and become un-
salable in a few years. 1t has only
five rooms and they are arranged on
two floors so that a minimum OF
ground space is taken up. The out
lines of the house form a simple
rectangle / feet SO inches wide and
10 feet deep. The hip roof with its
wide caves and open cornice is a
popular type. The use of shutters
and small-paned windows shows ex-

exterior, and the overhang of the
second story with its small support
ing brackets is another good touch.

USE OLD CARPETS AND RUGS
Discarded Articles May Be Rewoven
to Provide Suitable Coverings
for Home Floors.

Providing floor coverings for the
home is often a question of making the
best Of what materials are at hand.
One way Of doing this, the United
States Department of Agriculture
points out, is to have new rugs woven
from old wooden carpets and rugs too
shabby to be used as such. Factories
for doing the work may be found in
many localities. The old material Is
cut into strips about three-fourths of
an inch wide, which, when sewed to-
gether and twisted, make cord some
what like chenille and form the filing
Of the new rug. Cotton string Is used
for the warp. These rugs are heavy
and soft, alike on both sides, and dur
able, provided they are cleaned care
fully. They are generally rather
neutral in color and without definite
design; borders, however, may be
woven from strips of carpet Of solid
color, Or figured carpet may be dyed
for this purpose. In general, about
6k pounds Of old carpet is required
to make a square yard of the rewoven
fabric, depending, of course, on the
weight of the old material.
