It Is plainly evident to all obsorvors
that the number of people who tnko an
Intelligent Interest In house planning
nnd house building is Increasing Tho
populnr press reveals this tendency
very cleat ly. illustrations of modern
houses and discussions of architectu-
ral subjects aro overflowing from tho
technical press finding a place In tho
newspapers and popular magazines
This growing interest among tho
peoplo is all to tho good. Architect-
ure .has Buffered too long from popu-
lar Ignorance and popular apathy.
Generally speaking peoplo get tho
kind of architecture they llko and tho
kind of building they aro willing to ac-
cept. Thoro Is enough architectural
genius and enough skilled craftsman-
ship In our midst today to transform
every town and vlllago Into n" thing
of beauty and to provide every fam-
ily with a beautiful and healthful
homo.
If a genius of tho architect and tho
skill of the workman are employed or
wasted on unworthy objects it Is bo-
causo tho demand for this beautiful
architecture has not yet become gen-
eral and Insistent. No doubt It Is al-
so duo to tho fact that some who ap-
preciate and desire good architecture
have not the means to command it.
But tho want of money Is secondary.
The matter of primary lmportanco Is
that peoplo should have right Ideas as
to what conotltutes good architecture
and sound building and should Insist
whenever they cause buildings to bo
put up upon having only thoso which
aro both well designed and well built.
Good building tho first essential
and here no doubt Is a point of dan-

ture Is a good thing bo long as the de-

vites an nrchltect to design him a "plc-
tmesquu" houso with nooks and bay
windows and overhanging oaves. It
is to contain accommodations which
might reasonably bo supplied for $1-
000 but it Is to cost not a penny more
than $2000 That Is to begin at the
wrong end.
If a man's chief ambition Is that nil
tho landscape pnlntois In tho neigh-
borhood should como and erect their
ensels before his house ho does well to
concern himself primarily with gables
and nooks; but if he hold with Bacon
thnt "houses aro built to live in and
not to look on" ho will do well to
give more attention to tho soundness
of the walls and roof and tho rolatlvo
positions of dining room and kitchen
Let the man with $2000 to spend de-
termine that ho will havo as much
good Bound building as $2000 will buy
and therewith bo content If this
means being content with two sitting
rooms instead of tho deslrod three or
abandoning a projected Ingle-nook
there Is a solid consolation In tho
knowledge thnt all Jho material used
In tho houso is thoroughly sound and
has been put together In a workman-
like manner.
When tho essential thing good
building Is secured a man may find
It possible to Indulgo his fancies In
many matters of detail but ho Bhould
bo warned against too earnestly striv-
ing nftor tho ideal of tho picturesque.
Having determined on the nccommoda
tlon ho desires -and can afford ho will
bo well advised to bo guided In regard
to tho design by his nrchltect.
Tho llttlo cottage Illustrated hero-
with is an example of a building thor-
oughly constructed and arranged ac-
cording to tho very best Ideas for con-
venience; yet nt the same time somo
little thought has been given to make
tho building attractive In appearance
without adding materially to Its cost.
For $1500 this five-room cottage has
been built using tho very best meth-
ods of construction and finishing tho
building on tho Insldo with oak birch
and yellow pine.
A glnnco at tho floor plan will show
tho desirable features of Its arrange-
ment. Tho living room and dining
room aro of largo size and open to-
gether by means of an arch opening.
The kitchen is well away from tho
rest of tho house being separated
from tho dining room by the pantry
an arrangement which has been found
to bo very satisfactory. There aro
two good sized bedrooms very well
placed. Tho bathroom Is convenient-
ly located.
Tho attic space In this cottage Is
valuable for Btorago purposes and
since It Is well vontllatod sorves to
koop tho first story cool during tho hot
summer vonthor. Tho exterior Is sid-
ed with clap-boards having band
courses and corner boards usod for or-
namental offect. Tho cornlco Is rath-
er wide and is of open timbered con-
struction. Altogether this Is nn ex-
ceptionally attractive and economical
