The LITTLE WIFE
KNOWS JUST HOW
TO PICK A HOME
Moreover, It's Proven
By Statistics
BY JOHN DEAN MLLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

Who said women donG care
about the cost and construction Of
home2 .,.
Well, 1t was probably one Of The
Sundry gentry who insist that the
gals, whenever they buy anything
from canapes to castles, make
their choice on q basis Of super.
ficial attractiveness rather than
essential quality.
They picture a lady, while an
off-stage fiddle emits "Traume-
rel" oozing cheer over the darling
little bay window or the simply
divine kitchen sink-and mean
while overlooking an inadequate
heating plant, "jerry-built" con-
struction or an incipiently leaky
roof.
IT'S ASTOUNDING
Unfortunately for male egoS,
the picture is more or less incor'
rect. Men cannot claim all the
credit for recognizing sound build.
ing, reasonable costs and good
planning In residences.
At least, this seems to be proven
by a survey conducted among
Americas architects by research.

After assimilating that startling
statistic-Sworn as true by "a per

that the final decision in the choice

that statistic about the materials

If materials and construction
are the salient factor in a farnily's

GIRL THINKS new
MODEL HOME is
CHARMING PLACE.
Declares Residence Is
"Just Right"
BY MARY PADGETT

When a residence has that
friendly, inviting aspect and with
out going into the why or how OF
it manifests itself as being a place
of taste, one simply knows that
it is q real home.
One does not need an expert
enced eye to look upon a dwelling
to know whether or not home Is
just right architecturally-the bal
ance Of the windows, the roof,
the entrance, the chimneys, and
even the landscaping Of the
grounds will give you the neceS-
Sary impressions. If it has that
Oh ON ey" look, and nothing
screams back with too much
prominence, then you know it is
just what you want for yourself
and your family.
At least, such is my impression,
and such was my reaction toward
The Washington Times Model
Home at 40 Dale Drive, Woodside
Park, Md. 1t was built by the Cen
tury Construction Company for
sale through the BainS Realty
Company and furnished by Hilda
Miller.
SHUTTERS PLEASANT
The dignified and somewhat i'm
posing entrance greeted me. I
liked the white shutters Of the
door and the arched white frame
work. The green shutters at the
windows are pleasant, and &C
cented properly the red bark-tex-
ture brick of the house.
Inside, the vestibule seemed
just the right size, with it's arched
proper degree of dignity. Right
ahead was the stairway leading to
the second floor Of the house.
My glance at this much of the
house, outside and in. caused me
to want period furnishings
my desires we're gratified, for
there they were! Not one piece
too outstanding. nothing glaring
back with a "show-off" look
furniture, fixtures, walls, Grapes,
rugs all blending in together, but
bright and cheerful in the combi-
nation of colors.
UNUSUAL ROOM
Turning to the left of the en-
trance hall, I entered the dining
room. What charm! Usually just
an ordinary room in most homes,
here thing of beauty.
Stepping back into the entrance
hall, I entered to the right into
the living room. Living is right!
The room runs the entire side Of
the house. There is a WOODBURY..
ing fireplace. Here, too, furnish
ings-a piece or two of eighteenth
century, some of the colonial, and
pieces showing the American EN-.
pire influence-are in good taste.
Leading off from the living
room is the porch. 1t is a good
sized one, high enough to provide
GOODNESS in the summer and COM
manding a splendid view of the
surrounding grounds.
Also leading from the living
room is a small rear hallway,
which connects with the kitchen,
the basement, and into the small
library.

On What Ticket?
AS just what kind of partisan can
didate he might be nominated for the
White House is npt at all clear.
He could be Nominated as a New
Dealer, but he never has CHANGED to
run for office under a straight-out
Democratic label. He served most of
his time in Congress as Republican.
However, having been turned down by
his districts Republicans for renom-
nation, he accepted the Socialist
nomination a time or two, won and
was Socialistically recorded on Capt.
tol Hill. Then the Republicans, find
ing they could not beat him, re-as-
simulated him into their fold.
Farty is iinmaterial to La Guardia.
He is an individualist.

can survive such licking. 1t hasn't

Nevertheless, the reason that the
