BEAUTY FOR LITTLE HOUSES

No Great Expenditure Needed to Give Small Abodes Personality, Comfort and Charm. A page of, houses in the Woman’s Home Companion carries the following encouraging thought: “Just because a house is little or Inexpensive is no reason why it should not have personality, comfort and charm. In the little community group of homes located at Indian Hill, near Worcester, Mass., this statement has been proved beyond a doubt. Here there are well over fifty modest little homes built on the ‘unit’ plan, but each one so individual that the effect, taken both simply and collectively, is artistic and picturesque to an inspiring degree. Each little home fronts the street and is set well back from it so that it may have a stretch of green lawn. There is a tree in every yard and a place for a garden at the rear. White walls, gray-green roofs, lattices for vines over the windows and along the porches make home pictures that usually are only possible for well-to-do people to possess.”
