Small House the Best.

Planting Of shrubs and trees about
the house, making the yard practical
~ an outdoor living room and embel-
fishing the street and immediate en-
virenment of the houses, is essential.
So-called back yards should be con-
sidered things of the past and gardens
should be substituted. The house
should be as small as possible. Size
and display do not make for happi-
ness.G The house should have good
quality, though less quantity. Moth
ing can be gained by way of comfort.
durability or attractiveness from in
terior construction. Since the cost of
a house of good floor plan and ex-
terror treatment does not increase in
proportion to an increase in the size
of rooms, therefore proper space for
furniture and the expression of in
dividuality and taste of the owner or
occupant should not be sacrificed.
