Another Important Point.
Another important point to be con-
siddered is the character of the pros

Mr.. Gruyer stated, = much more srs

The actual construction of a home

lined by Mr. Gruyer. Certain pracii,.;i
points were discussed IN detail. Methods
used to overcome dampness in walls.
safeguards used in construction on

leaks, proper way to install and op-
crate heating plants and other minor
improveme which greatly facili-

particular attention.
Comm mentfng on prescnt-day costs
Mr.. GruVer mentioned several items
of material entering in very vital
way into the construction OF house
as still being more than double pre-
war costs. -
Contracts Carefully Kept.
In explaining the methods Of SELF
ing and financing purchasers with
small cash payments. attention was
called to the very small percentage
of those who fail to carry out the
contract payments. Generally speak

a lifetime, and il is therefore a seri-

WHY BUYING A HOME NOW
Is ADVISABLE.

Real Estate magazines tell us that all over the
country there has been noted recent increase
in the number of home owners.
And the reasons, we are told, are manifold.
There is every indication that rentals will be
as high as ever this fall. The cost of building
homes is probably at the lowest possible level it
will reach for some time. Because of the alb
normal conditions now existing, no investment
is considered as secure as the purchase of a

THAT TOUCH OF BRIGHT COLOR

ELECTRICITY is
SUPREME WITH
MODERN COOKS

The slogan Of modern women
as applied to housekeeping is DO
1t Electrically" The reason for
this slogan is quite obvious. Doing
it electrically saves labor, time and
in many ways results in an actual
saving in dollars and cents.
In no other place can this be bet
ter demonstrated than in the
kitchen. The result obtained by
electrically baking and roasting
are far superior as compared with
the results obtained by other
methods. In roasting meat by any
other method than by electricity
there is shrinkage OF from 20 to
25 per cent, while the shrinkage of
meat in roasting in an electric
range amounts to per cent. This
makes for saving of approx
mately 20 per cent, or in other
words clear saving of one pound
of meat for every five pounds
roasted
Meat roasted the electric way
does not need to be basted. Indeed,
the roast needs no attention from
the time 1t is placed in the oven
until it is taken out. Every cook
ing operation, when done electri-
cally, offers as distinct advantages
and conveniences as does roasting.
A turn of the switch operates the
exact degree of heat desired.
The results are never in doubt.
Baking offers no worries-it is al
ways just right, it cannot be 9TH
erwise. The excessive heat in the
kitchen is eliminated, as we'll as
obnoxious fumes and SCOT. Flow
ers grow as well at the kitchen
windows as In the living room.
The kitchen walls and ceiling are
no more problem in the way of
cleanliness than those of the rest
of the house.
There are many other reasons
for the popularity of electricity in
the kitchen and until you have in
stalled an electric range you will
never quite appreciate the full
meaning of the slogan. DO 1t
Electrically"

efficient HOUSEKEEPING
By LAURA A. KIRKMAN.

rooms, even in moderation. If this
drift toward Conservatism con-
tinues, we shall soon have black
the popular color in our scheme
of home-decoration.
OF all the rooms in the house,
the living room should be the most
cheerful, And a bright note Of
color here and there can do so
much toward creating this cheer
full effect.
If the room described in the
above quoted letter were mine, this
Is how / should treat it: l would
take nothing away from it's fur
nishings except the brown over
drapes and the lamp-shade. But
| should add Oh, so much! And
everything | should add would be
in the tone Of either yellow, gold
or copper. / should have cream
glass" curtains at the windows
with eopper-colored over-drapes;
copper-colored lamp-shade on the
droplight a oth-of-gold with
blue background cover on the liv-
ing-room table, brass book-ends
holding a few books: a bowl OF
bright yellow pottery on mantel or
piano-top; glass or brass candle
stick holding a yellow candle on
mantel or desk-top: and q "copper"
colored velour pillow on the daven-
port.
This introduction of a golden
note is appropriate for almost any
color scheme in living room and
dining room For a copper or a
gold note in room combines sat-
isfactorily with almost any other
color.
Bright red is another color which
may be used in this way--used
here and there in touches to
form a contrast TO dark colors in
a room; for instance, a bright red
velour cushion is an optical ioy in
a room where dark green or dark
brown predominates.
Do not be afraid, at least, to try
the effect of a bright color in
room which you feel is monotonous
in decorative treatment. For, that
single bright note may make all
the difference between your being
satisfied or dissatisfied with the
surroundings in which you must
spend perhaps the rest of your
life.
