The "Stucco" House
It is not generally realized tli.'it fully
OO'r of Hie houses, public and private, in
countries of Continental Europe are fin
ished in stucco.
This material is composed of cement
and sand in about the proportion uod
in making sidewalks.
American adaptibility has devised a
system by which old frame houses may
be converted at small cost into the ex
ternal appearance of stone by the use of
stucco on expanded metal lath. This
makes them warmer in winter and cooler
in summer. Saves paint and fuel.
The Stucco house is now the ac
cepted fashion in house architecture.
Any good plasterer can do the work.
An architect should bo consulted.

TVJ hlch:-make a house homelike.
I 1 I Wa have all seen tho quaint
mil little old-f aahloned cottage set
ting far back from ' the street.
Surrounded toy vines, flwers and
shrubbery -and bearing' more evidence of
nature's handiwork than tho embellish
ments which abundant means make pos
sible. These little homes are often very
homelike. Not because of any carefully
studied ground planting or elaborate fur
nishings and decorations for the interior,
but merely because the owner and his wife,
often a dear old grandma, have natural,
though uncultivated, taste for simple
beauty, which did not allow them to stray
from the path of harmony.
It is merely the same taste cultivated to
a higher degree that makes the architect
and landscape architect possible. This does
not mean that homes should be inexpensive
or rustlo in appearance- In order to be home
like, but the point being emphasized In that
the mere expenditure of money will not
make it ao. Many homes would be more
homelike If they had less evidence of
wealth about them In the too formal ar
rangement of the surroundings and Interi
ors overloaded with evidence of the own
er's wealth and travels In the way of elab
orate decorations, furnishings and over
abundance of bric-a-brac.
John Ruskln, after a life of study in all
branches of art and after having become
an acknowledged peer as an art critic
atated that "Simplicity Is the terminal of
all. progress." This does not mean that
homes should be barren of all attractive
features or to be so plain as to have a
bald appearance. As John Morris truthfully
says, "Make things as beautiful an you
can, but be sure that It Is for beauty's
sake and not for show." The Parthenon is
one of the simplest structures of recognised
architectural Importance In existence, and
still is universally recognized, even as it
stands ' in ruins today, as the grandest
piece of architecture In the world. It has
been copied many times In more modern
structures, but they all lack the simple
grandeur of the original, owing to the
fact that designers of today are unable
to withstand the temptation of adding
embellishments after the manner of our
time. The very lack .of means with the
average homebullder Is responsible for the
fact that more simple homelike beauty is
to be found in most of our cottage homes

than Is to be found In the palaces of ..the
rich. Why? Because the true spirit of
home with its love and sentiment is .lost
track of in the average home of palatiul
proportions In an effort to outdo the home
of some rival millionaire. Americans are
Inclined to worship the superlative. We
are always trying to create or do things
on a larger scale than has ever been at
tempted before. The man who can build
the tallest building, the longest railroad or
amass the largest fortune la looked upon
as a hero. Last' Christmaa the Bakers'
union sent the president the largest pie
ever made. In all ranks, high and low, the
tendency is toward the superlative and no
where Is this fact more prominently noticed
than among homebuilders. It Is safe to
say that nine out of every ten who build
homes ere more concerned a-bout the size
of It than they are about Its arrangement
or appearance, and there is not the slight
est doubt that nine men out of every ten
attempt to build homes larger than their
means will afford, with the result that they
have to deprive themselves of some con
veniences or attractive features. For ex
ample, a lady recently Informed the writer
that she would be willing to omit the fire
place In the living room If the saving In
cost Would make It three feet longer, al
though as originally planned it was an un
usually large room, Her idea was to make
It the same size as the drawing room in
the home of a certain millionaire.
A home should be large enough to accom
modate the Immediate needs and social re
quirements of the family, but It is not
necessary to include such luxuries as
libraries, dens, breakfast rooms, sewing
rooms, etc., If the funds available' are
limited to a modest amount. Homebuilders
brave enough to build, modestlittle homes
complete tn every detail, homelike and at
tractive regardless of -what their neighbors
may think about their not being able to
afford one larger, are very 'few, but they
are always cf the sensible kind. They get
more real enjoyment out of their homes end
life In general than the man who Is con
cerned more about the Blze of ills neigh
bor's house and the financial drain on him
to outdo It than his own enjoyment and
happiness.
The home should first of all be home
like, regardless of its size and cost, asd
while It requires some money to build even
a simple home, money will not, without the
guidance of good taste, make It so.

- The .French have an expression which,
rendered Into English, would be equivalent
to "shaving an egg," a phrne applied by
them to miserly people who would, accord
ing to an KngllNh saying, skin a certain un
mentionable parasite.
Literally to shave an egg would be a use
less act even on the part of the rgg trust.
But egg ralters, at least so Ir. Wiley, gov

Just as bad and more profitable to them
selves. They make their hens lay small

nutriment In one of these "shaved rggs"
Is much less than that in an unshaved one.
To repair the grievous wrong, the doctor
recommends a law compelling egg sellers
to sell by the weight, not by the dozen.
That Is the law In France. It might be
a good law for the Uiilted States to copy.

I 1. It consumes less gas than any other, consider-
ing candle power given.
2. It will not carbonize nor will it ever smoke your
ceiling as so many OTHER gas lamps do.
3. It is the standard, which all other competitors
are attempting to equal.
4. It is built on the right principles, not against
the laws of gravity, but in harmony.
5. It is very easily taken care of, has no
f delicate mechanism to burn or wear
out, and for this reason is never
second-handed.
Investigate a good article before buying any of the
cheaper gas-consuming grades.
