ENGLISH TYPE RESIDENCE CONSERVES SPACE

Sometimes Built of Brick, Shingles, Stucco ;or: Wide Clapboards—Roof Is Steeply; Pitched, With Uneven Slope—Solid Shutters Pretty. By Molly Elliott "* mm The Gothic, Tudor and Elizabethan architecture shows to best advantage in churches and residences in which economy of space is not a consideration, but the English type, to which these groups belong, has been charmingly adapted to two and three bedroom houses that are both artistic and practical, and sufficiently large for the average family.

This smaller English type is uometlmes built of brick, occasionally of shingles or wide clapboards and very frequently of rough stucco. Whatever material Is used, however, there are certain outstanding features that are characteristic. Steep Roof The most conspicuous of these Is the* steeply pitched, unevenly eloped roof, the narrow eaves and the sharply pointed dormers. The steep roof had a real reason for existence in a land where snow falls frequently and lingers wherever there Is , place to Unger, for even the most persistent snowflake would not remain long on a roof more nearly vertical than horizontal. Nor were the wide eaves needed In the northern climate, for the sunlight on the walls was welcome and shadowy spaces were of no advantage. Shutters Picturesque The solid shutters, too, that are a picturesque part of the exterior of these English cottages were built to keep out the cold winds rather than the warm sunlight and the absence of open porches proved that this architecture originated in a land where there were few long, hot summer afternoons. On the other hand, the casement windows, when opened wide, admit both breeze and sunshine, and the space saved by omitting the porch is added to the ©pacious living room, which usually occupies the entire front of the house. A small entrance hall substitutes in the English cottage for the center hall that tharacterizes the Colonial type of architecture. Building Permits Leona Hill, roroof, 1810-12 Ruckle. S3OO. A. L.

SHOULD ORDER NEXT SEASON S TULIPS EARLY Bash’s Seed Store Can Supply Bulbs for Beautiful Flowers. Were you one of those admiring passers-by who took the number of that gayly-arrayed, cheerful tulip that nodded at you from the big tulip bed at Thirty-Eighth and Meridian Sts., these past two weeks? Os course it was perfectly all right to take Miss Tulip’s number, or the number of any of her sisters—those tulips dressed i nevery shade of the rainbow, that were a part of the display shown by Bash’s Seed Store, 141 N. Delaware St. $ Order Now But, If you took that number Intending to order a duplicate of the flower for your own flower bed, this is the time to do it instead of waiting until next fall, according to S. D. Bash. “All during the time the tulips were in bloom In that display garden,’’ Bash said, "I saw people stopping to take the number of blooms that they particularly admired. No doubt they intend to order bulbs of that variety In the fall, when tulips are . planted, but ir. many cases orders placed then will be too late for delivery this year. From Holland "For many of those bulbs in the display bed are imported fro mHolland and muse be ordereo at once If we are to have them snipped to Indianapolis in time for the fall trade. If the Order does not reach us until fall, it v/ill be another year before we can fill it, and many flower-lovers will he disappointed. “So if you’ve picked out your favorite tulips from our wide variety don’t wait until October to let us know their number. Order them now and we’ll have them here in time to plant for next year's blooming.” WIR3NGSHOULD BE DONE WREN BUILDING HOME E. P. Foulke, Contractor, Says This Is Good Way to Save Money. “There’s no better way to save money by spending it than to have your house adequately wired for all necessary electric outlets while It is in the process of construction,” F P. Foulke, electrical contractor, 944 N. Drexel Ave., aid In discussing the importance of wiring for electricity when buldng a home. "The first and most Important reason that adequate wiring should be done while the house Is being built is because it may be done for less than one-half of what it will cost later. This does not Include the cost of replacing damaged plastering and wall-paper and torn-up floors, all of which is necessary when wiring is done after the house is finished. . “You may think now that one outlet In the living room is enough to take care of the floor lamp, but how about the lamps you’ll have three years from now? And suppose you want to move the lamp to another part of the room? How easy to prepare for It before the house Is finished by putting in outlets in various places in the room. Three or four outlet receptacles may be installed while the house Is being built for what it would cost to Install one afterward. “Bracket lights, too, are fast Increasing in popularity and outlets for them should be prepared whether or not you can afford the fixtures now. The best plan is to consult an expert electrician before you build and follow his advice oh wiring your home; then there will be no regrets afterward.” '

GOOD HOUSES ARE BUILT BY J. E. MORRISON Intend to Construct Homes That Will Last for Many Years. “If someone offered to sell you a real gold brick for 15 cents, you 'wouldn't buy It becaupe you wouldn't believe it was gold. You’d know that, as the saying goes, you can’t get something for nothing, and you’d be suspicious of anything that seemed worth more than you paid for it,” said W. H. Keller, secretary of J. E. Morrison and Company, realtors and builders, 513 Lemke Bldg. “That’s the reason,” Keller said,” that Ve do not claim to build the cheapest house, for It Isn’t possible to make good work cheap. You can’t build an honest-to-goodness house, that will satisfy the home owner, and sell it at a price that Is less than It cost to build. Cheap Price—Cheap House “If a house is sold at a cheap prise It must be a cheap house—and not every one wants a cheap house. Many persons prefer to pay a fair price for a substantial, well-built home that will be a lasting source of pride to them and will reflect credit upon the builder. That’s the kind of houses we want the reputation of building. Build on Contract “The J. E. Morrison & Cos. will build upon contract for any would-be home owner who has a clear lot to apply as first payment on his home or for a moderate cash first payment. The balance due on the house may be paid at 1 per cent a month, like rent, until the home is clear. “And, after It is paid for, the owner will have a real house that will last for many more years instead of a shoddy structure that means constant expense for repairing," Keller said. “We do not offer to build the cheapest houses, but we do build enduringly good homes at a moderate price—houses that give their owners full value for every dollar that goes into them.” DETAILS OF KITCHEN Light, Plumbing, Drain and Cupboard Room Are Essential. of the kitchen, especially In a small homo that does not boast a company of servants, cannot be stressed too much. There are only a few details that need tg be added to a poor kitchen to make of It a good one. Good light, good plumbing, a good sized enameled Iron drain board, plenty of cupboard room, enough space for the storage of food, dishes, potsc and pans and work table space are most essential. A good Ice box or refrigerator and a good stove also are necessary.

Attractive Bungalows Built

!LlsS

The increasing popularity of the bungalow is not difficult to explain when one sees such attractive and well-arranged small houses as those built by Cain & Conerty of the United Labor and Trust Company Bank, 2 E. Market St. The bungalow here pictured is one of five in the 700 block on N. Drexel Ave. All are different In their exterior coloring and finish, some being of frame, others of stucco, but the same floor plan has been used throughout all of them. From the porch the entrance leads directly Into the living room, which is lighted by a group of windows on the west and a high window on the south. In some of the bungalows a fireplace and built-in bookcases give an added charm, and all of the houses hr.ve built-in cabinets In the ki f .hen and medicine cabinets in the bathroom. Between the living and the dining room is a wide archway that adds to the apparent size of both rooms. A door on the south of the dining room opens Into the cozy kitchen, which may also be entered by way of a grade entrance on the south. The bedrooms and bathroom are separated from the rest of the house by a small hallway, from which doors open Into each of these rooms. This arrangement Insures that privacy so desirable In tl small house and has been found an ideal one for bungalows. The living and dining room of these bungalows are attractively papered in harmonllla paper of a buff shade, while the bedrooms are dainty In pastel shades and ivory woodwork. The lumber and millwork in all of these houses was furnished by the Capitol
