Houses Expected to Be

Preparations are now being made
for the furnishing and completion of
six OF the model homes being erected
as part of the demonstration sponsored
by The Star.
1t is expected that by next Saturday
six of the projects will be completed
and that most OF them will be fur
nished. The builders and the various
committees are now arranging the de-
tails of the interior decorations.
The houses which are expected to

group designed by j. Wilmer Smith
and under construction by c. II.

Minar, and the Maryland model home
being erected by the Stambaugh Con.
struction Co. at Wynnewood Park.
Md. near Silver Spring, as designed
by p. c. Adams.
All these houses will be completely
furnished in accordance with their
particular style and commensurate
with their size and cost. It will be
the endeavor of those in charge to
present TO the public houses erected,
Handicapped and furnished in a man
ner that can be reproduced.
Row houses. the community groups,
the detached and semi-detached houses

these houses, and every convenience
for the comfort of the visitors. in

Next Saturday A thorough explana-
ton of all the houses and the various
details in regard to them will be
given in The Star, in the hope that
the general public will be able to
benefit from the purpose of the dem
onstration, which Is to encourage

DINING ROOM BECOMING
LESS ESSENTIAL IN HOME

More and more, except in the larger
bones, the dining room, once one OF
the most important and carefully
studied rooms in the house, is becom-
ii1g less and less an essential. In
fine smaller homes, the bungalows and
Gotta ges, the dining room has been
entirely displaced by the dining alcove.
The space before devoted TO the dining
room may become a library. an extra
chamber, a sewing room or room
fpr the children to play in. The
dining aIcove. however, should have
plenty of natural or artificial light,
DR. it is apt to become a dark and
gloomy corner
! The kitchen, that necessity in every
home of whatever size, should be so
placed that the smoke and odors from
the cooking foods are carried away
from the rest of the house. Thus it
would in most cases be at the north
ern end of the structure. where the
prevailing winds Of our climate viii
sr least blow some of the odors away.

kitchen through door leading to the
reception hall and there is also a cloak
closet In every room in the house
there are convenience outlets for the
attachment of floor lamps and elec.
trica appliances. The lighting Ak
lures are of an entirely new and
distinctive design and will add much
to the attractiveness of these homes.
Nice Finish to Rooms.
The rooms will be finished in ma
hogany and ivory, with mahogany
shoe molding around the base board.
Throughout the house the floors will
be of the best grade Of clear oak.
AT the foot of the stairway leading
to the second floor is a plastered arch
way, on each side of which are
grooved wood panels ornamented with
decorative cornsces. The second floor
presents we'll arranged plan of prac-
tical convenience. A master bed
room occupies the entire width of the
front OF the house and there is a full
tile inside bath with built-in tub. and
shower. All of the fixtures are white
as we'll as the tile itself, giving an
air of cleanliness. Two other bed
rooms are in the rear, one of which
has access to the sleeping porch All
of these bed rooms are unusually
large, having ample closet space and
lending themselves most attractively
to suitable furnishing. In the hall
is a large linen closet.
The basement of these homes ap-
peals to those of practical insight into
housekeeping economy. The efficient
heating plant guarantees comfort and
warmth in zero weather. The instan-
taneous hot.water heater assures a
constant supply of hot "water with
just a turn of the spigot. In the
basement also there are double laun-
dry trays conveniently placed and a
servants lavatory. A large coal bin
completes the equipment.
One House to BE Furnished.
In the rear of the house there is
deep yard with a concrete walk
leading to a. one-car garage.
When these homes have been com
pleted an exhibit house will be fur
nished through courtesy Of the in
terror decorating department Of
w B. Moses & Sons. Every room
will be attractively and properly
furnished. The interior decorators are
using great care in selecting furni-
ture, draperies and lamps, consistent
with the type of design and character
Of the prospective purcfras ser. so that
harmony may prevail throughout.

model row houses, now under CON

and ready for critical inspection by
the public. The Cafritz Construction
Company, builders of these homes,
has made every effort to insure their
completeness and perfection in every
detail.
4 great deal of interest has been
manifested by civic groups and hlgh
school students who have had the
plea sure of inspecting these homes in

Decorative Treatment Unique.
One of the features Of these homes
which Is very attractive and unusual
is the decorative treatment of the
back of the house. The monotony
OF a row Of unsightly garages has
been avoided by the ingenious plan
of Louis Justement. the architect.
who designed these homes. The one
car metal garage for each house has
an attractive lattice wall between 1t
and house. which Is higher than the
garage itself and thereby affords the
occupant an attractive view from the
back of the house and gives an op.
portunity to cultivate and transform
the back yard into beautiful garden.
A concrete walk leads from the
back stairway to the alley and over
this where it passes the latticed wall
is an attractive archway which al
fords access to the garage.
