THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ons ne. 156" TIRST FLOOR PLAN Omer ar roay 5 Th For the closely built suburbs this housg has many attractions, It is "substantial in design and in con- struction, with compact, convenlent and economical plans. It is a house that will require but few repairs in thie years to come. The walls are finished in a light 'eream colored stucco on hollow tile, = This construction of the walls gives _ 'good insulation against heat and cold and saves fuel in the winter. It. Is fireproof and does not absorb mois- ture, and forms a most satisfactory _ backing for the stucco and plaster. Unlike a brick wall, furring is not required on the inside as' a protec- tion against moisture, a dampproof- ing coat applied to the wall before plastering gives absolute protection against any dampness with the black i, , construction, A Pe, 3 An economical feature of the plan is the utilization of the space under the living porch as a garage. A shallow ramp leads down to the level of the cellar floor, making ac- cess easy. The garage has water, heat and light at practically no cost for installation as they are connect- ed directly to the house systems in the cellar. The tile finished come crete floor of the sun porch gives a fireproof ceiling to the garage, while the foundation wall of the house gives a fireproof wall between the garage and the cellar. Thus the fire hazard is entirely eliminated while she car is made most conven- ient of access. The sun porch is all that the name implies,--tile floor and base, plenty of large windows, screened and pro- vided with awnings, flower boxes and the like--<a delightful place to live. The service portion is compact and is . convenient to the main rooms. The four bed rooms on the second floor are all of good size ana all have cross ventilation. A gener- ous bath room and plenty of closet space is provided. The entrance of the house Is worthy of note. It gives just the re- quired 'dignity for a house that sets close to the street.and the bold de- "tail offers a pleasing contrast with the plain stucco walls. Cost about $8,800.

" "Have you béen doing that?" I asked. She dropped into one chair, tossed her hat on another . and opened a fashion magazine she carried under one arm. "And it you're window-shopping for ideas, there's nothing handier then a magazine," she added without answering my question. She turned the pages of the maga- zine and soveral smell, white sheets of notépaper fell out. 1 looked closer and saw that they were covered with hastily made sketches.
