she had been the singing girl who
had sent the humiliating telegram
over the wire TO him, that she had
noted his name in the pile OF sing

to shield him as much as possible
from what she thought might be

sung it herself.
For Janey was wise and she
knew that he never would get

And she did not tell him that
she had deliberately met him that
day in the lobby, once she knew
where his offices were, and that
her heart was in her mouth while
she waited to know whether he

Keep New Home
Style Like That
OF Neiighbors'
Architecture S h ould
r IS e m bic 9th e r
Houses in Are a

When building a new home the
buyer should choose an architec-
tural style similar or suitable to
that of other houses in the imme-
date vicinity.
To be considered as a part OF
the whole community rather than
as a separate and distinct entity,
the design selected for the house
should conform in general to the
design of the other houses in the
immediate neighborhood.
For example, if nine-tenths OF
the houses in a block are Cape
Gods. this doesn't necessarily
mean that your house. too, must
be a Cape Cod. 1t does mean,
however. that if the majority OF
the houses are unpretentious and
informal in design, that the
architectural style of the house
should be simple and restrained.
A neighborhood developed with
houses of similar appearance is
more stable. more attractive and
more permanent.

use of deep areas from which

Brick, poured concrete. concrete

frost level experienced in the

Efficient drainage of the area

with brick laid in sand and with

Room in Most Houses
for Extra Facilities

Is yours an overtaXed bath
room?
The plumbing and heating in
dustries bureau points out that in
nearly every house there's room
for an extra bathroom. even if it's
just a tiny one.
Take a look around your home.
Does your upstairs hall have a
blind end? About three feet of
space that is of no particular use +?
A shower cabinet would fit in
there nicely. Or maybe there's
a closet under the stairs. loaded
down with old clothes. fishing
tackle. baseball bats. This can be
converted into an extra bath. And
then there is the basement or the
attic, which offer possibilities for
additional bathroom facilities.
