appears larger, and also one that
expresses hospitality. A compari'
sion of the cost with those Of lath
and plaster proves it almost as
economical. The wood-paneled
room varies only between IS and
$25 more than the lath and
plaster. This includes installation
costs and staining and shellacking.
In making any adaptations TO
a house plan, however small the
house, it is always wise first to
consult an architect and present to
him your building problems. He
may work out other floor arrange
ments that will suit your Specifi-
cations better and may prevent
errors that would be expensive to
rectify after the house was built.
The house as constructed here is
frame, but could easily be adapted
to brick or brick veneer. Red brick

feature that will delight the
practical housewife. Each bed
room has adequate closet space.
There is a wide linen closet in the
hall just outside the bath for
storing bath towels, bedding, and
table linen. At the front entrance
a large closet provides convenient
facilities for taking care Of outer
coats. umbrellas, galoshes, and
also for the hats and coats Of
guests.
While there is no foyer, this
side entrance into the living room
with the convenient enclosure for
coats does mean that the living
room is detached.
The storage space at the service
entrance at the back Of the house
is also important. This can either
be used for outer clothing or for a
cleaning g-supply closet.
In order to provide additional
space it is suggested that the base
ment room be finished completely.
For a small house of this size hot
air heating has been selected.
Laundry facilities will be needed.
Also if a complete basement Is in
The Washington times., 1936-12-19

with a white trim or q white
painted brick would both be at
tractive.
Here are some Of the construc-
tion features that make this house
sturdy as well as economical to
build. The exterior walls are clap.
board with pine sheathing, build.
ing paper, and 2 by 4 studs. Tho
roof is shingled in red cedar. The
chimney is of red brick. The wall
finish is plaster on insulating lath.
A gravity warn-air heating sys.
TEN is used. A single flat grain fir
flooring is used. Slightly more ex.
pensive but more lasting would be
a pine underfloor with a red oak
finished floor.
In building the frame house, the
important item after inSuring a
sturdy foundation is the frame
itself. In cutting down costs so
often this is chosen as an ideal
point for economy. The house,
however, cannot be properly
braced until well-seasoned lumber
is used. All lumber will shrink
some in time but lumber that has
not been properly dried will not
only shrink but will twist and
warp, causing all kinds of trouble.
Good Material
Since building has been on the
increase in the last few months,
it may be difficult to secure i'm.
mediately the type of lumber that
you are interested in buying. If
you are not positive about whether
or not it has been aged, test the
moisture content. If the lumber
has a high moisture content it is
not ready for use.
A reliable contractor will take
care Of this matter tor YOU. Clnce
he buys not only for you but for
other houses that he is building,
he will be able to buy better ma
terials at lower cost.
Next week on this page, you will
find the fourth house in our series
of houses that can be constructed
for less than $4,000.
These plans are selected to
give you an idea of what is
available and what can be OBJ
tanned If your budget is limited
and you still hope some day to
have a home of your own.
Since real estate is expensive
in the District and many of the
desirable building sites are zoned,
you may find it worth while dur
ing the holidays when you are
driving in nearby Virginia and
Maryland to investigate some Of
the new developments there. It
is simpler to first have your lot,
then choose the type of house
that is best suited to it. Finding
lot that you feel will make q
perfect setting for your Ideal
home" may be as hard as find
ing the proverbial needle in the
haystack.
Luck in your holiday real estate
findings, and next week you will
find another Of the houses we
think you will enjoy on this page.

cottage, there are many types Of
siding adapted to each style OF
architecture and from time to time
in this column these will be dis
cuSsed.
Dining Room
The feature of the house that
will appeal to the feminine mem
hers of the family is the adequate
amount of closet space and the
living room, dining room combina-
tion. These are separated only by
an archway.
1t is the type Of dining room in
which economy can rule. The
space is small but the walls are
planned so an opportunity for
buit-in furniture is provided. The
white of the exterior can be re-
flected in the white painted built
in furniture. In the corner be-
tween the hall and kitchen en-
trance, an attractive three.corner-
ned china cabinet can be built.
To conserve on the number Of
chairs needed, all sorts Of ideas
can be developed for seating. A
bench could be provided in front
of the window. This would be
practical if movable table was
used. For the other side a cottage
type portable bench would dupli-
cate the type Of seating and at
the same time provide possibilities
for basement recreation room on
party nights when all available
seating facilities are needed.
A modern convenience would be

ing board. This would provide a
disappearing table that would
clear the room Of large furniture
during the day.
The wide archway between the
living room and the dining room
does increase the apparent size
of both rooms.
The kitchen will also provide a
grand workshop for the housewife.
There is cross ventilation that
will provide GOODNESS during the
summer. There is a convenient
service entrance and an easy ac-
cess into the basement Again the
built-in units can provide the lux

dren a place to play on rainy days
and also provides a place for the
mother and father to entertain
friends with no chance of disturb
ing those on the floor above.
Recreation Room
The walls of the recreation room
can be finished with prefabricated
material or in wood siding. If one
or the building boards is selected a
small brown.Stained wood trim
would make a neat panel effect
for the walls. Linoleum or wood
floor would be needed for the floor.
Attractive curtains at the win
dows and simple, but gay, furniture
would provide a room that all
members Of the family would en-
joy as a second living room.
According to this building plan
the attic is left unfinished. There
are enclosed stairs leading up to
it from the back hall. The attic
does have only limited lighting
and ventilating, but if the house
is insulated, the space here would
be finished off as a future study.

ury of expensive building. The
units are usually about two feet
wide and made the base cabinet
containing drawer space, a counter
over the base cabinet, and a back
board with double cupboards
above. These can be used around
the sink.
The units come either in steel
or wood and in various color
combinations. They can be had
in q range Of prices. The cost
of these units have not been in
cluded in the estimated cost Of the
house.
Bathroom
The same sort Of unit arrange
ment could also be purchased for
the bathroom. This would provide
the washable walls, with provision
for the attachment Of the various
fixtures such as the medicine
cabinets, towel cabinets, and all
done in a variety or colors. A
waterproof wall finish of some
type would be needed inasmuch
as the tub is built in.

One of the new insulating building
boards would provide both the fin
ish for the room and insulation
desired.
Insulating material, as you
know, is the grand sort of material
that keps the cold out and the
heat in during the winter, thereby
saving on the coal bill, and in the
summer reverses the order and
provides partial coolness by keep
ing the heat out. For a one-story
cottage insulation is really i'm
portant and adds only slightly to
the building cost.

If the house is to be furnished
in the colonial style, then the
