DESIRE FOR LUXURIES
KEEPS MANY FROM
OWNING HOMES
Better for Newlyweds to
Start Life in Modest
Home.

Many people now living in apart
ments and complaining Of high
rents could well afford to buy small
homes If they did not insist upon
having all of the luxuries which we
like TO include in our homes. 1t would
seem apparent to every one thai the
comfort, conveniences and security Of
home of your own is surely worth
more than all of the marble and elab-
crate decorations that can be secured
in an apartment. OF course, We all
like nice homes and we should have
them if we can afford them, but many
of us cannot afford everything we
like and it is much better TO get the
nearest approach T. our ideal that
We can reasonably afford and get it
now. Magazines and newspc pers are
filled with pictures of ideal homes
planned on elaborate and expensive
scales which can readily be afforded
only by well-to-do people. Why not
try to get little house with a pleas
ing exterior and as much beauty and
convenience inside as you can afford
TO own, then proceed TO pay for it
while you live in it and later, when
you can afford greater luxury and
convenience, many of these things that
will contribute TO your pleasure and
comfort can be added.
We should not make the mistake
of putting a nice little house on too
small lot because we cannot
change that and sunshine and fresh
air are so valuable that nothing else
can take their. place. Some people
are now getting such houses with fin
ished rooms on the first floor and
large unfinished space alive, which
can be divided into rooms later. Clever
advertisers have placed the advantages
of hot water heating so forcefully be-
fore the public that large percen-
tage of the people now seem to think
it necessary for their homes. 1t is
desirable in many cases, but a good
hot-air furnace will heat small house
just as well-it costs much less to
install it and the wall space need not
be used for radiators which never add
anything to the appearance of d room.
These things are mentioned merely
as a few ideas which should be taken
into consideration. The selection of n
uOmtoAtc SuOulu dlsO NC CoHoluciCu win
some idea of economy. Frequently a
good sized lot in a desirably built-up
neighborhood close to good trans-or-
tation is found to be quite expensive.
Don't forget that your. city is grow
ing all the time and outlying districts
which now seem TO be long way from
the business district will in the near
future become much more attractive
and more readily accessible. L many
such spots ground can be purchased at
low prices.
II you continue to be a tei.ant you
must pay rent as long as you live,
but IL you purchase or build small
home within your means the amount
of your monthly rental will pay for it.
Don't wait too long for the unattain-
able ideal. Get your home as soon as
possible. -,a -

, and being spasA at regular inter

corner boards theg present trim, neat
appearance that gives q house u SUBJ
stantiaI character. If they seem to
some austere, relieving notes may be
introduced through use of lattices,
trellises and wood shutters.
Siding Is Popular.
Siding at present enjoys q wide
popularity. Being wider than clap
boards its effect on the building in
sunlight is a series of strong hori.
zontal lines about eight inches apart.
Siding should for most successful ef-
fects, be used on large houses; when
used on a small house it is apt to give
''boxey" appearance which has the
effect of making the house appear
smaller than it really is. In this case
it is better to use shingles or clap
boards. Weather boarding in wide
widths is not so commonly used 40
the previous forms, but it neverthe-
less has many interesting possibih-
ties especially for summer camps
and houses in wooded locations. These
boards are generally rough sawed and
stained which makes them harmonic
well with the natural landscape. Bat.
ten boards are similarly used for
camps and bungalows; they are laid
on the building vertically with small
err boards or battens over the joints,
The Colonial house which is so
popular today and is
destined to remain to because of its
eminent suitability to American living
is primarily a wooden
form and the many charming ex-
amples that have been built in recent |
years will tend to maintain interest in |
wooden buildings.
Permanency Of Wood.
The durability of wood depends on |
the measures that are taken for Its |
protection. If it is properly cared |
Tor there is almost no limit to its |
lgo, and if we'll constructed and giveL
rood care it should serve as q COM
,ortable home for several generations.
Wood, of course, will burn. and
when houses are poorly constructed
md crowded closely together there
s unquestionably a fire danger, but
n the average private wooden house
( care is taken in building to see that
,roper fire stopping is installed, which
merely means that all open spaces
eading into the walls ere closed, there
s but little danger of fire spreading
quickly, and in the event of fire it Is
more easy to extinquish a blaze in a
wooden than a masonry house. be-
ause the source of the fire can be
cached.
Lumber today, possibly more than
yer before, on account of the neces-
ity for homes, which if built of any
ther material than wood might be
eyond the reach of the potential home
wner, stands as the most easily pro-
urable, highly desirable and certainly
he cheapest building material which
an be used. Ii

carefully correlate the two color
schemes. For instance in the dining
room use one Of the less prominent
colors from the living room scheme.
SO that there will be a distinct rela
tionship between the two rooms. This
"tie" can be very definitely estaD-
llshed by this method and it is UNI
fortunate that so often no attention
is paid to this important considero
ton. ~ az a@E
+-.~ Gay COl0rs in Sun Room. 30
In the sun ROOM let your imagina-
ton run wild. Look through some OF
the popular home magazines and fol
daring. but highly interesting color
schemes that are often suggested for
various rooms. In furnishing a SIN
room, remember that light and warmth
are what is desired. Therefore, use
cheerful, gay colors and designs. If
your room needs to be toned down, be-
ing too warm and sunny, use soft
faded greens and blues and lavenders
Used open-mesh fabrics. which give a
feeling Of GOODNESS. Probably one Of the
most unusual materials for glass cur
tains in the sun room is theatrical
gauze." For sidedrapes use brilliantly
colored and figured cretonnes, Often
Bingham in delightful color combina-
tons is used with excellent effect. If
one wishes to take the trouble, effcc-
tive hangings can be made by apply
ing designs, cut from cretonne onto
such a plain simple material as plain
colored burlap. Paint your wicker and
wooden furniture in sage-green. laven-
der, black and always introduce a
touch of orange. Use brilliant pots
and bowls of goldfish and hanging
ivy, and your sun room will be un-
usual. Use color, and more color and
then still more for boldness-but care
fully experiment first.

GOhan's Comedy Is
Very Much COhan

George Cohan knows how to make
the old American Eagle scream.
He knows the value of American
humor and he knows how to jazz up
d comedy situation as no other Amer
lean writer and producer.
The breezy touch of Cohan is seen
in THE Meanest Man in the World, "
the current offering of the Grand Play
ers at Englishs.
l have made up my mind to say
something pretty strong about these
Grand Players. Before Charles Berk-
ell and his company landed here, 1
knew nothing about these players.
Since seeing this company in three
bills, I confess I am surprised at the
marvellous entertaining values given
at Engllsh's.
The first surprise at the prices
charged is the high standing of the
casts I enjoyed Lilac Time" more
than I did Polly With A Past" and
The Meanest Man in the World" is
much better than the other two. In
the Conan comedy there are several
good comedy and character chances.
