It Is a 6-room thouse, 27 feet wide by 38 feet long, ex clusive of the porch. It would be dilfl •cutt to put the same amount of build ing material together In any other lorm to make such a perfect arrange ment of rooms, and not exceed In cost the amount of money that this house can be built for. Prices vary so much In different parts of the country that It is Impossible to make an estimate »112 cost which will apply to every loca tion; but a range varying from $1,400 to $1,700 may be given as a rough esti mate for this cosy little cottage. The tastes of individuals in select ing materials has a great deal to do •with the cost of a house —In quality of finish and hardware. The cost of ex tra tine locks and hinges is not so much in Itself; but if the same grade of furnishing is carried throughout, there will be a great difference in the final footing-up of the bill. We have all heard the story about the man who ■was ruined by a pair of lace curtains. When the curtains were hung, it was ■discovered that everything else about tha house must be in keeping or the curtains would not look right. It Beems very easy to set a higher stand ard, but it is difiicuit to live up to it, because any high-ideal standard has BO many branches leading off in dif- Sferent directions, and it is the foilow- Sng-up of tlie different branches that Involves so much expense. This 1B a style of house that will never go out of fashion. We may have tfads about different kinds of entrance "ways and different arrangements of rooms; we may do away with the hall; -we may do away with the front room; but after we have experimented with •II the different arrangements possi cible to make, we shall come back to the front hall and the front stairway going up from it with a good, comfort able living room to one side, as an old standby for the most satisfactory end desirable entrance to a dwelling. Every woman likes to have a front Shall and a front stairway, and she does not care to have the stairway placed In some Inconvenient corner just be cause that happens to be a fud Some of the peculiar structures that are now being built will be considered Creaky and undesirable in a few years' fd: POBCM I R&OM I /ffBW.KV I I. /J o'a //i»>-w2s Western, /£ lbs., small @ls other Poultry- Old cocks, per lb It @lll4 Spring ducks, L.
