If cheap work la ac cepted by the owner, It Is usually be cause ho is incompetent to Judge. In ferior workmanship and materials a little under the best grades look all right, to him, and a poorly built Job goes through; but Inferiority is bound to show up later on. Most architects are loyally and Ener getically trying to get good work on every building they design, whether a $3,000 house or in $3,000,000 office building. Mosf contractors take pride In building up a roputatlon for honesty and integrity, slnco their earnest, con sciontious methods of doing business are as much in the interests of archl- tecturo as injthelrown. There Is7 no excuse" for chenp work. ,Evory inferior Job is occupying spaco which would be better utilized by a building of enduring construction. It endangers surrounding buildings, de preciates the entire architectural pro- : fesiilon and contracting trade by con--veyjng false Ideas of cost to building owners, and hurts ropUtatlonB of arch! tectfl, builders and owners. Even in''real estate work, houses built to sell bring no prollt in tho long run to owners through whoso hands they pass, unless they are hon estly built. On tho other hand, most reputable real estate operators havo proved tlmo and tlmo again that well built, attractively designed house yield-larger profit although tho first cost may be much greater than for houses flimslly built. When it comes to frame houses the best Is nono too good, as a frame structure Is under greater stress of wear and tear than nny other by roa- son of tho perishable quality of the material. Thoy 'should, therefore, bo built substantially of the best etruc tural materials obtainable.

It is almost Impossible, at least it is very expensive, to put ono in as an f tor thought after tho building is otherwise completed. The selection of the mantel Is some thing deserving careful consideration. Wood mantels will naturally bo chosen for tho dwelling houao of av erage cost, because tho trim of tho windows and doors is made of wood, and the mantel made of the same ma terial and finished In the samo color will harmonize with the general deco rative scheme of the room far better than one made of any other material. Most architects want mantels made from their own special designs and ex pressing their own individuality; but this will cost more- than n mantel se lected from tho catalogue of some manufacturer who makes a specialty qf mantels and who offoctB a' consider able saving on tho cost of the individu al mantel by making up each pattern in considerable quantities. Were it possible nowadays to obtain only those clumsy and ugly patterns which wore found in. the best catalogues a dozen years or so ago, there might ho spmo necessity for having specially designed , wantels In your house; but the same ,vldace of the progress of good faith k to he found in the present-day fao tory .wantels.that will be found In up-to-date furniture. Nobody thinks now. a4ys of going to a cabinet maker and baring him make our tables, chairs, b4tad8 or chiffoniers to order. In tM... wa visit the furniture w.tore, ve tind in stock, or will be shown photographs of them In tho catalogues, artistic- nnd wcll-mndo fur niture of every period style, as well ns in tho modern so-called "now art" or "craftsman" types. In tho samo mnnner we can select our mantels, having a wide rango of choice so that every individual taste can be satisfied. Besides tho usual hardwood mantels, I have found that the dealers have many beautiful colo nial mantels, some of them being, faith; ful copies of old oxamplos, while oth ers havo boon designed in the spirit of the old work, Thero aro also to be had faithful copies of tho French period stylos, which would find fitting place In the parlor that is decorated In tho popular Louis fifteenth or sixteenth styles. Design No. C063, shown herewith, has been selected as a worthy example of Eomo of these points already brought out. Although of comparative ly small size, the plans and specifica tions for this design call for p.n excep tionally well built structure. The de sign provide for a compact residence, and jiormlts of nothing showy or elab orately ornate to become dilapidated or to get out of stylo. The Interior of tho house Is arranged most extensively, with a good sized re ception hall, largo connecting living room and dining room, besides tho kitchen and pantry on tho first floor. The central decorative feature of tho intftrlor is a largo opon flroplaco with beautiful mantel, in the living room. A sldobpard or buffot could also very easily bo built Into tho space left for it along the inner wall of tho dining room. Altogether, tho effect of tho downstairs is light and cheerful and exceedingly homelike. On the second floor are two largo bedrooms with clothes closots. Tho bathroom 1b also on this floor, being di rectly over tho kitchen. Tho house has been built completo for ?2,500, using thorough construc tion and good grade of building mate rials. Tho total size Is 31 feet wldo by 35 feet long. IN PLACE OF AUTOGRAPHS Ertollsh "Society" People Have Taken to Collecting Thumb Prints of Their Acquaintances.

To provide for a slto for this, tho first structure ever erected for such a purpose, the Dutch government appro priated 1275,000.

She was attired in a crimson morning gown and her hair waB still in Us binld. "Quite gay and girlish I" she mur mured. "Who is?" demanded her maternal maiden aunt Jano. "You are, dearie," replied Mrs. Mer rlwld, turning horself half around to get the effect of the back. "You know perfectly well you weren't thinking of mo," said Aunt Jane, severely. "You wero thinking or yourseir." "Do you know how my thoughts could be bettor employed?" demand ed Mrs. Merrlwld, with a brilliant smile. "Of course I might have been thinking of Air.

"Not on ordinary man, by any means." "He Impresses one," assented Aunt Jane. "Like a boot heel on a pet corn," said her niece. "But I've learned more about him during the short pe riod that ho has been calling than I would about most men In a lifetime I evea know that ho wears medicated flannel next to his skin, winter and summer." "'.lellssal" exclaimed Aunt Jane, in horror-stricken tones. "I couldn't help It, dearie," protest ed Mrs. Merrlwld. "I didn't ask him for the information. He thought it would Interest mo so ho naturally and simply told me." "I don't see how ho could possibly i?r r-mmm "Quite Gay and Girlish" She Murmured. consider it a matter of interest to say nothing of tho lmproprloty," said Aunt Jane. "It's a matter Intimately concoining him, isn't It?" said Mrs. Merrlwld. "Very well, then. It ought to Interest anybody, I'm surprised! I suppose when I tell you that he has had two of his back teeth filled, you will fall to realize the significance and im portance of It. Keeping one's teeth in proper condition Is necessary for the proper mastication and subsequent assimilation of food. It there is any derangement of Mr. Elghmeo's diges tive apparatua, it affects his energy and his mental faculties and tho world Is a loser by Just ao much." "I should Imagine that something had affected his mental faculties," said Aunt Jane, rubbing her nose. "Sny not so, dearie," begged Mrs. Merrlwld. "Mr. Elghmee la particu larly sane. He prides himself above all things on his sanity. He is a modeat man, but that Is one thing he Insists on. Tho trouble wjth most people is that thoy allow their views i become distorted by prejudices of ono sort or nnother. Mr. Eighmeo has no prejudices. Convictions ho has, firm and unalterable convictions, but no prejudices." "That's very nice, I'm sure," re marked Aunt Jane, "Isn't It?" said Mrs. Merrlwld. "To rontlnue this Interesting subject, Mr. Klghmeo risea punctually at half-past six o'clock In tho winter and nt five o'clock in tho summer. He believes in regularity in system. Ho takes a cold bath. Ho hasn't missed taking his cold bath once in ten years. He finds it stimulating nnd he attributes his immunity from colds and his gen eral good condition to this and the faw simple gymnastic exercises that he takes after tho bath. Then ho takes a light breakfast and arrives at his iffico clearheaded and fit and able to cope successfully with any of the difficult problems thnt Invariably arise Ho Is not capricious in his taste. He likes his roast beef rare and prefers a good full-cream Amer ican cheese to the decayed nnd germ infested importations from nbioad He's a plain man and makes no pie tenslons." "Mercy!" exclaimed Aunt Jane. "Ho has several relatives but he doesn't like them and makes no hones of saying so," Mrs. Merrlwld pro ceeded, disregarding tho Interruption. "Ho doesn't see why the accident of relationship should give ouo person any RpcclM claim on another.

He likes vtho country onco in a while ns a change from town, but ho wouldn't caro to llvo there. Ho has tho social instincts nnd likes to feel himself a force among his fellow men. What ho wants and what he intends is to go into politics and rattlo up somo of these dry bines that have been fattening on tho llfo blood of the nation. Ho isn't opposed to trusts, but he would control them In such a manner that would prevent the accumulation of colossal wealth to the Individual. That Is his ldoa. There may be people who disagree with him. but that'B the way ho looks at the subject" "Is there any more?" Inquired Aunt Jano. "Lots, honey," Mrs. Merrlwld an swered. "Ho is a little qulck-tem-pe'red, but not a man to cut or bear a grudge. Ho is rather Inclined to be reckless about spending money and a little foolish about lending it to people who never pay him back; still, he makes a point of living well with in his income. He uses Drlssels' shaving Boap and thinks Vesta Tilly a really remarkable actress. Finally, and most Important of all, ho likes brunettes not tho blue-black raven's wing variety, but the softer and less decided type to which I belong. There's ono thing though ho doesn't know Just how decided I can be when I set my mind to It" "I Infer that you havo arrived at a decision in his case." said Aunt Jane. "The surest thing you know, sweet heart," said Mrs. Merrlwld, returning to the mirror and smiling at her own reflection. "You know I'm qulto a little interested in mvself. and nrimfr. ting that Mr. Eighmeo Is Interested In me, too, he Is so much more Inter- ested in Mr. Elghmee. Another thing, no woman wants a lot of accurate and rellablo knowledge about her in tended that sho hasn't found out by her little lonesome." "But they always tell about them selves, I've understood," said Aunt Jane. "I know," admitted airs.
