PAGE T-gms' ‘eii:s'rIoNs ron sm' A Housioiciiznrnn Happiness according to a popular theory which a great many people be- uevm depends upon success and lor- tiine for its motive power. Il the truth were known, the golden call is ,, vt-_ry iiuich over-estininted -idol. Ever'-y person has within hiinselb the 1,0.,-cr ol happiness. Whether he is_ young or olil, rich or poor, promin- ent or merely plehian, he may enloy lilc in so much as he really wishes to do sn, no more, no less. tint-iiiiistances do not alter cases oi eoutcutnicnt, for our inward feelings of lelicity are not dependent upon ex- ¢,i|~jor things for th-eir_ existence; oi i-oursc, success and riches are very| tlcsirnhle possessions, we all admit; that, but in themselves 'they are fart li-inn satisfying or suiifleleiit, as nlany incu--iinil more women-have discov-l ,-I-pil on attaining the two. Take for instance the case of one \\-oiiiaii who was brought up iii umu- i-uixc and married ii poor man who ,.,,rueil his 1-ivelirood in ii strenuous and precarious profession. After some years the couple inherited money,and slrziiigcly, the wife did not iippeiir to ,tpprecintc as niucli as she ought to luivi- done the change in her circiim- slnnccs. "l had any number of joys in thc olil days," she declared, "which our wi-iiltli luis quite swept away. In ii litllii house ii family siienis so much niorc closely _coiiiiected,iiot only phy- sically, but spiritually, than it ilocs in a big one, and I used to do Iiciipi; of things for my children which 1 iuevltsiblyi leave to strangers ot prcsciit. ~’l‘|ieii, the Spending of a small in- cinue is evel' so much more exciting lluin the spending of millions.

While this- uouil.-i'fiil lioiiic is thc only one of| its kind iii thc world, it is ii gooill i-xuiiiplc of what the uvcriigc Aineri- mu lioinc will be in ii fciv years from Ilii\\'. \Vi>ird is fast becoming too scarce :iuil too high iii price to be iiscil as ii| riniiiiion building inn.terliil, und thc time is iilrcaily licre when, for econo- u|y's sake, aircliitccts and coiitrzictors are figuring to ciinst.r\ict iill build- uivs ofstcel and concrete. As the supply of coal diiiiinishes the cost is uilviinciiig so that everything possible is bciiig iione to liusbiind the sup- ply and ser. that noiic of the prccious_ i»ali\i~i-_il lieiit is wasted. Electricity, gi»ni\riiteii by writer power, in cvcn now taking thc place of ciiiil as ii soiircc ol power and thc time is not f.-ir distziiit when it will rank first :is ii siuircc of heat. ’l‘his nioilel 20th century home nl; l'urrolllon, is 34 x 30 feet, two stor- i-yi: high, wltli iitlc and bnseiiieiit,iiiiil luis eight rooms on the two main floors. While Edison's idcii of ii i-i»ni~i'r~l.e house to be pourcil into one his iuolil was not ciirrieil out in its <~i»iisl.i'iictioii, yet the principal build- ing miitcriiil was concrete blocks. ’l'l\ci~ie blocks were nioliled right on thi- groiiiid as they were reiniircil, so llierc wus no waste of building mn-‘ li~ri:il. The floors are all of hard- irooil iind the interior is finished in l'|~'u~'l.i-i‘ iiuil oak. Such ii house _rc- iiuircs Init little wood in its con- st i~ui~_i.liui. 'l`he system ' oi architec- ture is of plain, sulistiiiitiiil mission l_\'pi‘, this idea being carried out -ilu-oiiglioiit thc interior. 'l`lic house is fronted with af large porch, i-ind llie whole coiistructioii, or rather the ciitlrc cost, was less than $3,l'\0ll. l’i-rliiips the most novel leuturc iiliiiut this nnusuiil residence is the iiuzt that it is heated by steam from' ii i-iuitrnl station. Tlicre is no noisy, dusty furnace in the cellur dcniand- ilu! daily attention and tender care ill winter lnnf. lnetciid, the steam nished with steani radiator-g_ 0;- c0“l‘F°. some arrangement had to be Bllhlllied to furnish hot water for the bathroom. Near the ceiling in the bathroom is located a. water tank which is kept constniitly hot by ii number oi small pipes through which a continual flow of steam is niaiii- tained. The tank supplies ull the hot water necessary for the butli`nui’ for the wash bowls in the several bedrooms. The house is also wired for 'electric in case at any time thi steam apparatus at the central sta tion should become piiriiliyzed. When it is remembered that there are no fires about tlils niodern home the visitor begins to woiider how thc meals ure cooked. Neither steel, coal nor gas range is visible in the nent and roomy kitchen. 'l‘lie princi- pal article of furniture seems to be an oaken sldelioiiril-r---‘Phls sideln-ii~.rit is nothing more or ,less than one ol the new electric stoves. The back oi this up to date. stove is ii small switeliboard with suitable wires and plug attnchinents. A turn of the switch and the electric tea kettle is singing. With the same ease thc frying pan, cereal cooker, griddle, boiler, vegetable cooker, and so nn, are made to do their shiire of the work oi preparing a meal. There be-_ side the cabinet is stntioiicd _ the electrlcal oven wherein the heat is so economlzed and concciitriitcd that l.\_ic clioieest roiist can be prepared in less time than it usually takes to start a slow coal fire. The other electrical kitchen devices, iiicludnig the ielectriciil lint-iron, ure used in the same clean, simple and econonn- cal manner. 'l‘hci'c is no sweltcring heat in the-kitchen und all the ilrud- gcry that goes with the old style ol cooking. In fact, so easily :ire tht* meiils cooked that the coilcc, ten :ind toast are prepiircd right on the diu- ing room table. The electric roller pereolator, at ii turn oi the switch, prepares the eoiler. while the cerenl ir' being eaten rind the toast is reiidy with the collce. 'Phe cost of _cooking the nieiils by electricity in this_lioinc is estimated at less _tliiiu _$3-5\l_ H mouth for ii fiiiiiily of five. ho with the spcciiil meter rntes for ciiiikiiig by electricity the cost of lli'CliiU`ll\l-1 the \’:i.l'|oiis iiieiils is no iiiorc thzin it wiiiilil be ii coiil oi gas \vi~i-i~ used.
