of this nature should not be conducted
by an individual or a private enterprise
but by the building and real estate men

jealousies that develop because it was

Mrs. G.. Vernon Rogers
Thinks They Have Been

which must furnish home for imme-
diate occupancy, according to the Bu-
reau Of Information Of the "Better
Homes Week" demonstration in Amer
lea. In furnishing and equipping
Tribune House No. 6, at Larchmont
Gardens, these four problems have been
met in the opinion of Mrs. G. Vernon
Rogers, chairman of the Advisory Com
mittee on Furniture and Decoration:
First-Do the things selected suit
the house in size, color and gtyla2
Second-Are the pieces selected in
harmony and are they comfortable and

Committee Exercises Ex-
tren,e Care in Fitting Up
Little House; Good Taste
and Price Guided 1t

In selecting the furniture for the
five-room Better Homes Week" de-
! monstration house, members of the
| Advisory Committee on Furniture and
Decoration launched out to see what
could be done for quiet, sensible
young couple-such as might occupy
this kind of home-who would care
enough about making it comfortable,
restful and artistic to spend as much
| as $4,000 to S3,5OO.
Remembering that the w. g. j..
Sloane store, on Fifth Avenue, at
Forty seventh Street had furnished the
emonstration house at the 1922 Gown
Your Home" Exposition, the committee
decided to put it's problem up to
William Sloane Coffin, vice-president.
Mr.. Coffin, heading the educational
committee of the New York Art-in-
Trades Club, and largely responsible
for the New York University course in
small house furnishing and decoration,
w. & ]. Sloane have furnished the
house completely with the exception
OF electrical equipment and certain
decorative pieces supplied by Owing
toms.
To visit the demonstration house at
Larchmont and see its furnishings is
sufficient to prove to the average
home seeker of moderate means that
it is possible to completely equip
small house at certain Fifth Avenue
stores at no greater cost that similar
furnishings, though perhaps not as
we'll made, can be purchased at other
stores.
Throughout the Colonial atmosphere
of this house has been maintained in
the selection of hangings, rugs and
furniture. In the large master bed
| room on the second floor the interest
ing chinz bed spread harmonizes with
the set of painted enamel furniture.
This bed spread is copied in hand
blocked English linen from a design
OF wall paper in the famous Rope
home in Salem, Mass.
The living room and dining room
rugs, respectively Oriental and Chinese
IN pattern, are not out Of place in
Colonial American setting. 1t will be
remembered that the New England
traders did a very large China and
Oriental business when American sail
ing vessels rivaled England on the
seas. Such rugs were on the floors of
many old American homes
The china set from Ovington's--cream
| colored, with brilliant orange border
and pheasant bird center-is of Cauld-
ron's make, an English china manu-
facturered in Colonial days. The
andirons and fireplace set are of Col
onial type. in bronze and black iron.
The vases are of odd shapes and
colors. in quaint old designs.
None OF the pieces selected are high
| priced.

cedure involved in financing the con-
struction of House No. 6---the method
which must be employed by any in
diyidual applying to any savings and
loan association for first mortgage
loan--together with actual figures in
this instance, will undoubtedly be of
value to the prospective home builder.
Miss Margaret Wickham, as the pros
pective home owner, opened regular
savings account with the Railroad CO.
operative Building and Loan Associa-
to build the model house she made ap-
plication to this association for 3
mortgage loan Of $4,000, which was
Immediately granted after careful ap-
praisal.
Conditions of Loan
This mortgage is to be paid back
under the building and loan associa-
ton plan at the rate OF $50 a month.
This amount covers both principal and
interest and pays off the mortgage
completely in eleven years and seven
months. Certain actual costs of ar
ranging this loan, amounting to s215.
were paid by the borrower, including
searching title to the land, drawing
building loan agreement, architects

tions (for appraisal purposes), fee for
appraising value Of lot, drawing and
recording legal papers in the trans
action, war revenue tax on mortgage
and New York State mortgage tax Cone
half of / per cent?.
The $4,000 advanced by the building
and loan association was paid in four
installments to the home owner during
the progress Of building construction
as follows: y
First payment when cellar excava-
tions and foundations were finished.
Second payment when framing and
roof was completed.
Third payment when the building
had reached the stage of completing
interior plastering.
Fourth payment upon completion Of
house.
In this manner financial assistance
was provided when necessary to make
payments to contractors and for ma
terials and equipment.
The prospective home builder who
wishes to take advantage Of this ex-
cellent method Of financing may do so
III very simple manner. The first
step is to open an installment saw
ings account with a good building and
loan association. Interest is pafd on
all such accounts at the rate of 8 per
cent per annum and creates a mem
bership in the association for such
depositor.
G.: A. Martin, president Of the Rail-
road Cooperative Association which
made the loan, says that at present all
reasonable loan applications are being
granted to members Of six months OF
more standing in his association.

member presents an application for q
