And how about that little lnblc to go beside the chair that everyone avoids because it looks so lonely standing over there by "Sell? 01". perhaps it is a boudoir chair for the corner of your bed- ronm that your heart is set on, Well. now is the time to get ' “"359 lhinss- Buy whatever house l lumlﬁlilfllls you need now.

Regardless of the amount of l money you have to spend or what. f kind of furniture you need, looki

for prices that will prove iastinglyl as well as currently in style. And ‘ measure the space esch is to w. cupy before you plan to got new drapes and change your living room color scheme any time soon, ‘ . select the new divan with the i drapes you hope to buy in mind ‘ rather than the present ones.

There are many times when it la better to have another chair and_ a table rather than to overcrowd I i a small room with a full-length sofa. Also, sofas with full padding over deeply rounded backs and arms look much bulkier than lofel with trim. slender lines and shal- low curves, although both may b0 the same length.

and there are places where noth- ing but a love seat or short sofa should be used, or perhaps s. mod-

Convenient Cabinet May Be Built

1f you need extra room in the bathroom and have a small space which may be utilized, you can build s cabinet which is divided in three sections. A Home unprove- ment Plan modernization loan, ob- tainable from any Canadian bank may be used for this purpose. The centre section, which lsbacki- i ed with a mirror, has aledge that may be used as a dressingtable. side cabinets have glass shelves on which bath bottles talcum and

Indirect lighting from the back i of the cornice will eliminate an-

Variety Is Keynote

Decoration

The day when the four walls of

l

weeeﬁwee-

a room were prosaically the same have passed. The decorators who set the trend in wall fashions have heard that "variety is the spice of life" and laid their schemes ac- cordingly.

For the housewife who loves color feels that plain walls would set off her furniture and rugs to better advantage, the idea of a metropolitan decorator is recom- mended. The walls of a living room are finished in a dull blue but on ‘one side directly opposite the fire place a panel is covered with fig- ured wall paper.

The gay colours are reflected in the mirror which hangs on the op- posite wall. Thls idea may be used over a fireplace when the house- wife does not have a picture or other object which she considers: suitable decoration for the spot.

Under the Home Improvement Plan funds for interior decoration may be had at a very low rate of interest. ‘Ihese may be repaid over a period of three years, if desired, in small instalments.

Good Roof Is Essential To Home Comfort

Watch your roof, Mr. House- builder, for more grief can arise from a faulty roof than a defect in almost any other part of the house.

The quality of avroof depends largely on the manner in which the component parts are nailed. Gyp builders often practise their unholy art in reckless abandon- when putting on the roof, for here they have unusual opportunity of AL hiding shoddy material and skimp-

A real carpenter lays the boards

of his roof close together, and many of the best builders use matched and dressed lumber and build roofs that will shed con- siderable quantities of rain water before they are even ahingled. A good roofer always looks tohis sheet metal flashings, his gutters and covering, and always insists lapping material.

Wood shingles are properly laid in rows, commen '

_, with a double tier with a lap of an inch.

Cedar shingles are the most com- mon, and when pins arc long-lived and weatherly, they are not ex- tensivelyused. The however, are cypress shingles, for their longevity and weather-proof_ qualities are proverbial. They seem to improve with an accumulation of moss, rather than deteriorate. Unfortunately, however, they have to be imported and their cost ta usually high.

best of all,

During the past few years, vari- ous types of asphalt composition shingles have been used extensive- good , serviceable shingles and have displaced wood in popular favor. The symetry of their placing is an at- tractive feature.

Yes, a home builder must watch his roof, for if it is not built sound and weather-proof, it will mean nothing but trouble and expense in the years to come.
