Arthur O. Ola nana, Arebitsot,
Shakespeare said that "the secret of
beauty is suspeot." It Is not so much what
we aea, but the hidden beauty o what we
expect to aee Inside of a home aa Indicated
by the beauty or oddity, a th case may
be, of the exterior that charma ua. It la
the Inside of a home which, regardless of
the outside, receive the atamp of tha
owner's Individuality. We have come to
know this and to expect unusual thing In
side of a home whose exterior Is out of the
ordinary.
There are many things that must be
weighed and considered In the mind of an
rchltect and his client before the plans
and design of a home are perfected; cli
mate, size and grade of lot, water supply
and drainage, amount of building funds
available, the else of the family and it
oclal requli omenta being but a few of
them. Aa theie condition and the many
other that arlae alwaya vary In each case,
ao homea vary In plan and design. Homes
are the product of several Individualities

the answer. The great variety of homes
that find their origin on a single drawing

ha had to deal with as many different in

Then, too, besides the high taxes and fire
risk there Is always the possibility of hav

The great fault with most plans (archl

In conclusion It may be stated that it la
best to let the contract for your entire
