Walks and Driveways
of Highest Importance

There is nothing that lends more
to the appearance of the surroundings
Of home than neat, artistically placed
walks and driveways.
Careful thought given to their ar
rangement at the time they are built
will more than repay the owner In the
attractiveness that they will add.
Every lawn offers variety of posi-
bilities for artistic designs.
Like streets and highways. walks
and driveways must be designed to
meet, the need of those who use them.
While it is generally desirable to have
them take the most direct route. pleas
ing effects can be obtained by the use
Of graceful curves. II is therefore fol-
ly % destroy a fine tree because it
happens to be in line with the route
of the walk or driveway; graceful
curve around the tree does not incon-
venience anyone. and it will add to the
beauty of home surroundings.
Often such curves can be arranged
so that the garage Is partially hidden
behind clump of trees or bushes.

Home Owning More Than
Real Estate Investin

There is much more In owning
home than simply owning a piece of
property. This fact was stressed by
Samuel @. Kane, president of the Phil
adelphia Real Estate board.
"a home owner becomes valuable
and important citizen and great
asset to his city and his family the
moment he acquires home," he said.
ut is only natural that there should
be greater interest in property when
1t is owned by its occupant than
would be the case il 1t was only
rented. The property is usually main
tanned in first-class condition and it
Is improved to- mid to its attractiyeness
and its convenience. If there was no
other profit aceruing from home own
ership than the feeling Of security
which it affords. the latter furnishes
ample reason for home ownership.
I'm most sections of the country
there is less reason for a person of
responsibility and determination to
overlook owning home today than
ever before. Any one familiar. with
the present market knows that homes
are more reasonably priced today than
has been the case in many years. The
variety of homes that are available
is exceptionally large and the Local
tons are varied. In fact, there is ex-
listing the opportunity for selection,
good location, and fair price that
should have strong appeal to any one
thinking or DESTROYS of owning a
home" ,s,

Small Changes Mean Much

AS general thing, houses need
only few changes. here and there,
to bring their exteriors up to date
or to render their interiors modern
and attractive.
For instance, new entrance with
modern hardware; conversion of an
old porch into sun room; installa-
ton Of dormer windows in the upper
story; addition Of a new type roof |:
new hardwood or composition floors /;
modern heating system; new plumbing
equipment; interior decoration Of all
rooms and painting of all wood trim.

improvement and big difference in
the home picture.

White Houses Effective

For the house set deep among sur
rounding foliage. pure white offers the
most effective color treatment. The
play Of shadow-speckled sunlight upon
the white background of such house
always has made one of the most ex-
Quisite pictures of mans habitation.
Naturally. the permanence Of the
white paint is important, for much of
it's beauty and value is lost If the
paint "yellows" or "grays.' A white
house is effectively dressed with Il
green roof with brighter shade OF
the same color used on the shutters.

VIEWING the color situation, one
becomes conscious of the increas-

silks which are so decidedly smart for

not oftener, than any other combina-
