Blnca the closing of the pink section,
real estate companies which also do a ren
tal business hare been confronted wiyi a
problem that hu cauaed them a ip-eat
mount of worry and trouble. While re
port that a certain proportion of the denl
lena of the proscribed district bar left the
city wera true In part4 real eetate men say
that, nevertheless, a majority of them
hava remained In Omaha.
Tha question of a lease to a tenant now
la Involved with a stipulation as to what
rurposea the tenant will put the place on
which he or she obtains a lease. One com
pany has drawn up a form which all lessees
re required to sign. It stipulates that on
ny evidence that a property Is being used
for an Immoral or doubtful purpose, the
lease contract becomes void. Much trouble
has been experienced by one dealer In
particular, who conducts a Urge rental
agency. Several tenants have been removed
from new places af abode' on complaint
of neighbors that susplolous acts had been
going on In th houses. One of these evic
tions was in a hou on Twenty-eighth
street.
"When th news that the vie district
was to be closed cam out, we expected a
certain amount of trouble. But th reality
la worse than our expectations," said an
agent. "It seems that w hava to Investi
gate every deal that la made to th very
last resort. Many of th leasee are made
through second or third parties, and It Is
difficult to tell Just what sort of a tenant
a man Is getting. It Is a certainty that
thos persons who lived In the district
have to live somewhere, and our problem
Is to keep from housing them and their
business knowingly."
A firmer ton prevailed in th real estate
market In th last week, a condition, due, In
all probability to th tendency of th
thermometer to remain 'coyly at a distance
from record-breaking heights. Most every
dealer reported an Increased number of In'
qulriea, and a growing Indication of Interest
lr. property for speculative purposes. While
no deals of not were closed, there has been
a noticeable Increase in Interest In down
town business property.
Th building reports showed no structures
of particular moment contracted, but at
th Building exchange are reports of plans
tor various bulldlna-tf which would Indicate
that the summer season will not be re-
, markabl for an absence of activity along
this line. Th Interest of contractor at
present Is confined mostly to figures on
school houses, new ones and remodeling,
which the school board will contract for
completion In time for the opening of th
school yesr.
- A small brick store building, on story
high, at 10 North Sixteenth street, was

The
HE two most popular styles of
a H I domestic architecture In this
I country are the colonial or
uuurgian style, ana the Eng
lish half-timbered style, both
of them of English nrlarln.
The colonial style gets Its most popular
name from the fact that It was extensively
used during the colonial period of this coun
try, it being a popular fad In England at
that time. England, however.returned to ita
half-timbered style of domestic architec
ture and since th colonial days, for the
sake of variety, it has been extensively
used in this country.
Since England and American tastes, hab
its, mode of living, religion and Ideals
are practically the same, It la quit natu
ral that the English half-timbered style
should appeal to Americans as being an
ideal style In which to design homes suited
to American family llf.
In colonial architecture and other classical
styles a certain symmetry must be retained
which sometimes makes It difficult to fill
certain requirements with reference to the
arrangement of rooms and windows. In
ths English style. It Is not necessary to
oonslder the exterior to aa great an extent,
while arranging th rooms to meet all
family requirements and th requirement
of location. It Is a style which permits of
many bays, unique entrances, towers and
dormers of many shapes. Thes things can
not. of course, be designed so as to present
a conglomerate appearance, and must bear

a certain relative harmony to each other,
for even the Romanesque style made so
popular by the late H. H. Richardson, can
have a prominent feature on one side of
the front without repeating it on the op
posite side, for like the Romanesque archi
tecture, all appendages, prominent features
should be proportioned to the main build
ing, In a way which can only be accom
plished by a man of experience and talent,
who has that Indefinable sense of propor
tion that makes all thlngsl designed pleas
ing to the eye. Homes, like beautiful
women, can be of many types and styles,
and stilt be attractive and beautiful. Beauty
Is defined by the dictionaries as an as
semblage of features pleasing to the eye,
and this broad definition Is as close' as one
can come to defining anything that la
beautiful whether it be In nature or In the
works of man.
In the English style wo find the use of
cement construction reduced to both an
artistic. and, practical basis. English archi
tects discovered more than a century ago
the Inadvisablllty of covering an entire
wall surface of a wood frame, with a
veneer of cement, hence the origin and
development into architecture of the half
timbered construction, which divides the
cement work Into panels, the divisions of
wood strips so placed as to make a pleas
ing design. The lower part of the house
In this atyle Is often some plain form of
masonry construction most commonly of
brick or stone, although In recent years
th lower part of th walls Is sometimes

The American idea seems to be Inclined to

The Interior of an English home should

great deal of wood wainscoting, beamed
