"One thing I notice aout Home Omaha
homes. Is tha lack of beautiful lawns."
aid a man who made a European trip
thla aummer. "A man here doc not seem
to care how much money he puts Into a
house. He hlrea the moat ex pensive ex
perts to plan for the beauty of his home
and to equip It with the most modern Im
provement!. And then he Is content to
hare "almost any kind of a lawn and ha
.hlnks sprinkling of it and cutting; it once
n a while Is all that is needed.
"I saw some of the most magnificent
t retches of greensward In England that
my eyes ever rested on. I use the word
'rested' advlaedly, for It truly rests the
eye and also delights the soul to sea such
towns. They may truly be called '"velvety.1
I waa told that they cannot be produced In
the climate of tha United States because
of our great extremes of heat and cold,
extreme by change more fierce. They do
not. have the glaring heat of sun and tha
protracted periods of drouth to which we
are sometimes subject.
"Nevertheless. It is a fact that with a
little more care and system very beauti
ful lawna can be produced right here, such
lawns as ought to be seen around somo
of our magnificent homes, and as would
beautify the simplest home at an expense
.V absurdly small.
V "From experts I learned the way to
rejuvenate an bid or neglected lawa Is to
dig or plow It up and construct a new one. j
It does not pay to try to mend it unless
It la In very fair condition. The ground
should be spaded to depth of twelve Inches
and allowed to He fallow all winter for
the frosts to work upon. Tben It should
be harrowed and smoothed carefully. The
best seed should be bought and sown
thickly. April and May are the beat spring
montha for sowing, and November Is the
best fall month. A little oats mixed with
the seed la good because It grows easily
and acts as a nurse for the more backward
grass seed.
"When the seed Is up about three Inches
rolling ahould begin. Thla Is one of tho
most Important' processes for producing a
good lawn. The first rolling should ba
done with a light roller, but the weight
should Increase until the lawn. Is gone over
with a roller weighing from 600 to l.ouo
pounds.
"Cutting should be done carefully and
the -clippings of grass allowed to remain '
on tha ground; they act as a mulch.
"If the soil was not rich manure should
have been applied plentifully by a process
of top dressing and rolling and seeding.
The surface should be loosened with a
rake and seed sown at the proper season.
A heavy roller 1,800 pounds weight Is not
too much should be run over it and dirt
taken from some rich place should be
i strewn over It.
The lawn Is such' an important th'ng
and a thing which r quires but little cap
ital that It ought to receive more atten
tion and mora expert treatment. Omaha
ought to be ax city of beautiful lawna as
well as of beautiful homes. The care of
an average lawn, moreover, Just gives tha
business man or the man who worka In
store or shop the proper amount of exer
cise. It works an advantage thus In both
directions."
The handsome doume apartment flats be
ing built by Kuehn & Co. on Twenty-fifth
street between Davenport and Chicago
streets are being wired by the American
Electric company and will be equipped
with the most modern electrical fixtures
and appliances. ,
The aew home being erected by A. 8.
Billings. Jr.. at Thirty-eighth and Cass
streets will have a roof unique In Omaha.
It will be of asbestos shingles. These add
to the advantages of slate and tile ad
vantage of being unbreakable. They cost
slightly more than slate. The, roof Is being
put on by the National Roofing company.
"I note a deolded tendency toward build
ing homes with the maximum of light these
days." said a leading Omaha architect.
"People who come In to have plans drawn
nearly all want to have the rooms well
lighted with sunshine and also well ven
tilated. They demand large windows, ex
tending from floor to roof. The open ar
rangement of the Interior, with three or
four rooms on the first floor, connecting
with each other by great wide doors,
which practically throws the entire floor
Into one big room. Is especially popular."
One of tha very lateat designs In electrlo
fixtures has been Installed by Hastings A
Heyden In a house being erected by them
at 18T Emmett street. It Is done In "mis
sis)" woodwork. Designs along this line
are said to be getting very popular lately.
Tha work was 'done by the American Elec
trlo company, which haa Installed similar
fixtures in several other Omaha homes
lately.
' Prices on roofing slate have recently been
Increased. Slate Is used but little for roof
ing In Omaha except on aome of the larger
buildings such as school houses and large
residences. The National Roofing company
haa Just taken a contract for. placing a
slate roof on the new high school building

The home which we have designe for

Imposing entrance- gives ; this simple ex

Tha large living room Is ' placed In the

of Cut-OfT has grown amazingly during tha
last two -years. Bcoret of houses are there
now and new ones are being erected every
month. Now at least three different parties
of people are going to build house boats' on.
Cut-Off. The advantage. of tha house boat
are many., One' can fish frqtn the .veranda;
one can be rocked to sleep at night by the
gentle waves'; one can move the boat about
and thus enjoy a change of scenery and
surroundings. 'If the house-boater, doesn't
like his neighbors he merely weighs anchor
and sails away to' more' congenial environs.
Of course, the Cut-Off .lake house boats
are not going to-be anything like those
famous floating palaces tm which thousands
of families . spend the summer on the
Thames, boats of colossal sixe with Rower
gardens and broad walks all around with a

The greatest difficulty in choosing wall

the .fact that It. la almost Impossible,
even for the decorator of some' expert'

It -Is almost Impossible to Judge from
the sample book what the color effect will
be In tha room, where the light Is entirely
different -from that In the dealer's store,
A paper -that appears fairly light In the
pattern book may make the room look
dark... Moreover, the reflected light from

' person scarcely realises and falls to
understand why the wall paper which has
been hung seems to be of a different color
from' that which fViey selected. A white

wall' and the same color on the celling
and on the walls will appear lighter on
the celling. A celling of a different color
will modify the, side wall color. These

In exterior decoration of the dwelling or
other building the vestibule and porch are
most Important features. They are the
first part of the house which meets the
eye of ' the passerby and the enreful
scrutiny of the visitor. In most cases the
visitor haa to wait for several moments,
eitber. In the vestibule or on the porch,
before gaining admission to the house
Frequently one never enters beyond the
vestibule and consequently the entire Judg
ment that one forms of the Interior decora- 1
tkm of the house and of the character 1
of Us Inmates is founded upon the short I
scrutiny of the vestibule which one ex- i
amines almost Involuntarily tn order to I
while away the time until the door bell Is
answered. I
If the visitor notices a dirty, unswept 1
vestibule he naturally concludes that the
housekeeper Is slipshod and that the un
tidy vestibule or porch Is merely a sample
of what Is to be met with Inside. If
he sees a vestibule decorated In gaudy
color and generally out of keeping with
the dictates of good taste, his inference
is natural that, the rest of the house and
the Inmates are of the same character. If
the vestibule Is decorated in paper mache
or painted Imitation of tile, It Is probable
that the bathroom Is covered with some
cheap Imitation of tile work. If the vesti
bule Is dirty the kitchen is probably In
tha same condition. If, however, it is
neat and clean and ' built of substantial
material, there Is every probability that
the housekeeper takes pride In the In
terior of her home and that her interior
decorations are substantial and in good
taste.1 A frequent covering for the floor
and wainscoting of the vestibule is that
made nZ baked 'clay tile or ceramic mosaic
work. The tile Is the most durable of all
flooring material; marble, slate and other
natural stones not excepted. A tiled or
ceramic mosaic vestibule Is easy to keep
clean and. lasts , virtually forever. The
nails of the shoe will not scratch or wear
th floor, and street dirt which Is carried
In v on : tha shoes cannot be absorbed by
It. By a simple process of mopping it
out . or flushing It with water, It can al
ways be kept neat and clean in appear
ance.' Owing to the artistic properties of
the clay tile with its variety of color.
form and design, the floor and wainscoting
can be made aa elaborate as the other
exterlos and Interior decorations of the
house demand. ' One of the most appro
priate of all vestibule floors Is that made
of ceramic , mosaic, laid In artistic colored
designs. Owing to its special appropriate
ness as a covering for floor and walls
that are to' be at once decorative, substan
tial and sanitary, the tiled vestibule sug
gests good taste and dignity. The house
with a tiled vestibule probably contain
also an elaborate tiled bathroom, kitchen,
butler' pantry and laundry. A the vesti
bule Is such a tell-tale Indication of the
house,, the careful housekeeper ahould give
It every possible -attention.
- 1 Porch. Most Important.
The same I true of the porch or veranda.
In suburban dwellings, especially, great at
tention shouM be given to this most Impor
tant part of the house. The wooden porch
floor, for instance. Is readily , passing out
of. use. ,Ths ia, but one indication of the
general substitution In American archi
tecture qf .Inorganic building materials for
wood, not only in the largest cities, but
even In .suburban and rural districts. In
America, the land of Immense forests. It
was but natural that wood, which was
everywhere at hand, ahould become the
most common ' of all building materials.
But timber is now scarce, lumber Is high
and the danger of Inflammable building
materials Is being more. and more appre
ciated by the public. Within the last few
years, even the floor of porches, which
were formerly 'nearly always covered with
wood, are now being made .of ceramic
mosaic or other Inorganic material. There
Is much to be said In favor of the adoption
of the Inorganic porch floor. Especially In
America, where there are great extremes
of temperature, the wooden porch floor, ex
posed,, to s.U kinds of weather, soon shown
unmistakable signs, of wear and decay.
In -fact, the porch,' If covered with a
wooden floor,' Is almost Invariably the first
part of-the house which begins to look
shabby.
It Is, of course, the duty of every home
owner to, make bis house as attractive
looking as possible, and he should do all
he can to avoid Indications of wear ' and
tear and shabblneas at Its very entranoe.
A properly laid ceramic mosaic porch,
even though exposed to all kinds of In
clement weather, will usually outlast the
building In which U Is placed. The small
baked clay "tesserae," as the Individual
pieces of ceramic mosaic are called, are '
so hard that even a steel blade cannot !
scratch thein; they are firmly set in pure, i
hard cement, and consequently never,
under ordinary conditions, appear worn or 1
shabby. As they are made In tire greatest
variety of form and color, they can be
easily laid out In any desired artistic .
pattern or design. They are not only at
tractive In themselves, but the great 'lati
tude' allowed in their application enables
the architect to overcome by their use
many .of the faulty appearances of the
porch. A porch, for Instance, has to be
built rather narrow, In order to avoid ex
cluding too much light from the rooms of
the ground floor. This narrowness In ap
pearance, which la emphasised or ag
gravated by the cracks between the boards
of a wooden floor, can be entirely obviated
by a suitable dislgn worked out In ceramic
mosaic. '
- Easy to Keep Cleaa.
Tha ceramic mosaic porch is llkewlee
very easy to keep clean. As a non-absorbent
material. It can be Duelled off
each day wtth a hose, and It dries In a j
short, time- ' It has always a bright, sub- j
sianMal and attractive appearance, and Us
design Is' such that even the moat muddy I
foot prlpts, su plainly visible on the j
wooden porch, can hardly be noticed. 1
Marble mosaic, also. Is used as a cover-
Ing for porches, but marble, 'although the ,
moat beautiful of all. building materials,
Is too soft tfr uqe on a floor that Is sub
jected to much traffic. Furthermore, in j
order that the tesserae may be polished
down to a smooth surface after they be
came set n 'the cement In which they are
placed, this cement has to be adulterated
with lima ff) order to be soft enough to
be polialied to a surface even with the .
marble tesserae. - The addition of lime to I
cement causes the . latter to shrink so It

very small surfaces. Consequently, ul-

with , the present day building operations
In which permanence and durability are
such important considerations, and of the
several siaterlals of , which this porch floor

all fairness be given to ceramic mosaic, or
clay tile.
Cat Two Years In a Mine.
After spending two yesrs in the depths
of a coal mine a cat owned by James
Warke of Ashley, has returned to htm.
The eat was such an Inveterate thief that
Mr- Warke Insisted two years ago that it
should be killed or lost. Several attempts
to lose It failed, and Warke, who Is a miner.
then put him In a lg ami tik him to one
of the lowest levels of the No. 20 colllwcy.
There he flourished and grew fat. There
was fine hunting, the M mine rats being
numerous and daring.
Recently the mine was shut down, snd i.s
there whs no more grain In the stnbles tu

and the cat made Its appearance at Warke's

THOUGHTS
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 18, 1907.
For the Dast fire years we
have, during July and August,
written many ads advising our
patrons to allow us to examine
their Fuinaces, Steam or Hot
Water plants (free of charge)
and if repairs were needed or
burned ont pnrts to he replaced,
we would do B'ich work before
the rush of fall work begins,
which is usually about Septem
ber 15. Every year we booK
during July and August several
hundred such orders. . People
with such foresight have things
ready when cool weather
reaches us. Every year during
September and October we are
obliged to delay hundreds of
orders for want of time and
cuuugu Biwiieu wursiueu iu qu lue wurn ijrumyuy.
This year we have, in anticipation of a very heavy demand for repairs, very
largely increased otir stock and now carry in our warerooms very nearly
3,000,000 pounds of stove and furnace repairs and thousands of hot water
fronts t,o fit every known make of stove or range.
We believe it is largely a matter, of carelessness in any one to put off until
tomorrow what ought to be done today.
Why not place your order for inspection today and let us get to your horn
as soon as possible? With the orders now booked we could hardly expect td
get to your home (except In an emergency) belore September 5.
We now have a new Furnace Department, fully equipped for Installing new
furnaces. Our New Boiler Plate Wrought Steel Furnace, tho Marvel, and our
All Cast Furnace, the Excelsior, are not the cheapest on the market, but thei
are the best. Your inspection and examination are cordially Invited. 4
Respectfully yours, f
