Last week the house featured
was in the $1,000 class, and a num-
ber of readers asked whether or
not the work could be done more
cheaply without impairing the
lines and architectural design. The
house I am suggesting today is
smaller, but may be built for $1,000
less.
It has many features that merit
attention.
The house has a conventional
layout as you may see from the &C.
companying floor plans. There are
six rooms of medium size. The
design Of the house is rather con-
servative. There are two floors,
each Of which form separate units
While the house last week had
bedrooms on the first floor, leaving
the rooms on the second floor un-
finished, this weeks home is COM
pleted at an estimated cost Of
$4,000.
ShingIe Finish
Much can be said in favor OF the
appearance of the house. Shingles
are used for the finish, one reason
Of the moderate price. For some rea-
son shingle houses have not been
as popular in Washington as in
other cities. They do have virtues.
They provide warm wall with an
interesting pattern.
The better shingles are shaped

Sorophn7ist

The annual election Of the So
roptimist Club at a luncheon
meeting this week in the Willard
Hotel. resulted in the following

Miss Daisy Reed, president
Mrs. Agnes Newman, first vice
president; Mrs. Ruth Baker, sec
ond vice president; Mrs. Paula E
Everhart, recording secretary:
Mrs. Ella Hildebrant, correspond

The club will hold a Christmas
party on Wednesday, December
%, at the Willard Hotel.
The Washington times., 1936-12-12

Struction must be practiced if the
cost is to be kept at this level.
On such items as the fireplace,
staieway steps, flooring on all
other rooms but the living room,
completion of one or two bed
rooms, roof insulation, compost
tion Shingling, savings may be
made by using not the highest
priced material, but the best for
the money.
The problem Of finance keeps
m ore moderate-income families
from owning homes than any
other factor. For so many dec
ades homes have been built for
the upper 10 per cent of incomes
and the remainder come what
may.
New Era
Since 1929, however, contractors
have realized that new era in
home comfort and prosperity will
result from construction of mod
crate priced homes for middle
class families. Hence the wide
spread studies in compact housing,
substantial yet cheap building,
prefabrication, and other new de-
VelopmentS.
To aid in this new era, new
methods of financing have been
originated. These provide loans
up to 80 per cent of the appraised
value of the home including both
house and lot. In return the
home owner makes monthly pay
ments which in many cases are
less than rent would be. The pay
mentS are made for term Of 20
years.
Next week will be featured an
other home in the class that can
be built for less than $1,000.
The Washington times., 1936-12-12
LOW COST HOME DESIGNED TO MEET NEED OF 'AVl

rather new idea in kitchen decora-
ton no doubt. It consists of q
series Of units. each of which
consists Of q base cabinet, a
counter and cupboard above and
with the assembly Of any number
of these units you have q COM
pletely equipped kitchen.
The unit idea cheapenS the cost
of arranging the kitchen yet pro-
videS every facility of built-in cup
boarding, and, because of the
planning, provides a very COM
pact arrangement Of kitchen de-
vices.
Cabinet Units
The units are available in wood
or metal in many colors or COM
binationS. Many of the units
have special lighting plugs. The
same idea Of unit construction
now Is being proposed for bath
rooms, with the medicine cabinet,
towel racks and other items as
Sembled on the units. For the
bathroom the material is water
resistant, yet will be offered in q
wide variety Of decorative themes.
And now to the second floor.
BY looking again at the floor
plans you will note that the stair
way is lighted at the two landings.
Then at the top Of the stairway
Is q short hall that admirably
connects the four rooms. The bath
room may be reached without
going through any other room
first, and it has a convenient
linen closet built into one corner.
Across the hall from the bath
is a small bedroom which could
be used for a variety of other
purposes. It might well be a den,
instead, or a sewing room, or a
playroom. or a maids room. It
could even be an upstairs living
room.
It has only one exposure, you
will note, while the other two bed
rooms each have two exposures
for cross ventilation. The other
bedrooms are large, with good
closet space and window space
that should provide good lighting.
Many Possibilities
Since the fireplace chimney goes
through the wall Of the smaller Of
the two big bedrooms, that room
might easily be used as an upstairs
living room or a library, and the
other two rooms used for sleeping
purposes. If the fireplace is made
available, there is plenty Of space
on each side for book shelves and
room. too, for a grand piano in the
indented corner. Should you later
need the room as a bedroom, the
shelving could easily be converted
into closet space and no other
change in construction would be
necessary, for the fireplace could
remain.
The entire conventional arrange
The Washington times., 1936-12-12

closet for hats, coats and equip
rnent for the rainy day. The
foyer extends into the open hall
which has three good features.
It is possible to 60 through to
the kitchen and service entrance
or upstairs without entering any
other room. II guests are in the
living room or q bridge game is
in progress the room is completely
detached from the rest Of the
house. The wide entrance from
the hall to the living room in
creaSes the apparent size Of the
living room and also gives a view
Of the enclosed stairway that
rises up from the entrance foyer.
The living room Is Of ample
size, as you will note on the plan.
But the arrangement Of the din
ing room, living room and porch
lends a note of SpaciousneSS to
each room. The wide arch sepa-
rates the dining room and living
room. French doors open into the
porch. No matter which room
you happen to be in, 1t becomes
possible to see across through the
other room. This adds the illusion
Of distance.
Fireplace
The fireplace Is conveniently
placed for the decorator who
wishes to accent the width Of the
room. Long recessed bookshelves
with cupboards below can be built
in at the fireplace. Another pos
sibility would be to have q wood
box built in under the book
shelves and have the wall paneled
around the fireplace.
This is not included in the eS-
timated cost Of the house, but
does add tremendously to the in
dividuality of the room.
The dining room is we'll lighted
with the two large windows on
one exposure and French doors
opening into the porch. This pro-
videS luxury during summer
weather when porch suppers are
the rage. It presents convenience
for the hostess serving MONDAY
guests luncheon on the porch or
lawn.
The kitchen is almost square in
shape. It has two exposures. The
sink is placed under the window
ledge between cabinet units. The
room is of ample size for an cleo
trio refrigerator, a gas or elec-
trio stove, and a small table. Be
cause Of the small size Of the
house and the effort to make
rooms as large as possible nc
dinette or breakfast room is pro-
vided for in the plans.
One point in favor Of the
kitchen, however, is its shape. A
modern-minded housewife may
have cabinet units installed in
it easily. You have heard Of this

Women's National Party Building,
Second and B Streets Northeast, a
week from today from to 6 p. m.
Christmas Party
The Christmas spirit also is
evident in plans Of Columbia
Chapter of the D. A. R., which
plans a meeting at the home Of
Mrs. Frank j. Campbell December
%. A Christmas tree will be the
center Of the party, and Christmas
carols will feature the entertain
ment.
Two other Christmas parties
listed by D. A. r. chapters are
those of the Manor House Chap
ter, members Of which will be en-
tertained by the State vice-regent,
Miss Lillian Chenoweth, at a
house party December IS, and the
Potomac Chapter, which was en-
tertained Wednesday by Mrs. Roy
c. Bowker.
However, Christmas activities
are not the sum total Of D. A. r.
work for this week. For instance,
the magazine committee is plan
ming a meeting Friday in the
Louisiana Room of Memorial Con-
tinental Hall. The meeting, to be
held at II a. m, will hear Mrs.
Elmer E. Curry, State registrar,
and Mrs. Samuel B. Woodbridge,
State librarian, as guest speakers.
However, lest this appear to be
listing on the activities of only
one group Of women, it might be
well to mention some of the events
planned by other groups, who are
far from idle, despite the holiday
rush.
Among these is the Italian
spaghetti dinner, sponsored by the
social service committee Of Co
lumbia Chapter No. 1858, Women Of
the Moose Hall, Tuesday from S to
TYP. m. After the dinner, which
will be held for the benefit of the
lodge, there will be a joint meeting
of the MooSeheart, Moosehaven
and Social Service committees Of
the chapter to pack Christmas
boxes to be sent to Mooseheart, the
home for orphaned children of the
fraternity, and MooSehaven, home
for the aged, both maintained by
the order.
Tomorrow the Women's Club
will give a tea in honor of new
members-those who have joined
the club this fall. The tea will
be held from 4 to 6 p. m. in the
clubhouse, 1876 jackson Pl. N. w.

from selected cedar, sound wood
that will not crack. And they are
straight grained, Of a standard
thickness, and have tenacity and
can be stained any color you may
choose.
Some firms provide shingles
already stained. AL you do Is
order the particular color. Because
there is so little waste in the use
Of shingles this has a decided ad-
vantage.
Another factor in favor Of
shingles is that the color you
choose may be harmonized with
the landscaping. A stain gives the
shingle a soft velvety tone
where color harmony is important.
In a wooded setting or on an ex-
pertly handicapped lot Shingled
walls are an asset.
Every bit as important as color
harmony in regard to shingles is
that of inflammability and up
keep. The creoSote oil stains Of
fered by paint companies today
vary greatly from the stain used
on colonial farm houses of the
post-Civil War period. The stain
may contain as much as so per
cent creosote oil. This doubles the
life of the wood, protects it from
parasites and insects and at the
san.a time makes the wood more
fire resistant.
The stain can be had in colorS
like moss green, forest green,
spruce green, seal brown, silver
gray, smoke gray, bark brown, tile
red, medium gray and dark brown
ish red. For the white house with
green trim, there is a heavy bodied
shingle stain Of white. It gives a
durable WhitewaSh effect.
Floor Plan
A good stain, which your paint
store will recommend, will be not
only durable but also beautiful.
The floor plans of this house are
interesting and have several good
features.
Entrance to the house is from
the corner. At the door is a
