Not a dollar more, really, than it costs to build one which gives out barrages of ' soot and smoke and has faulty draft control. In fact, the good fireplace is the cheap fireplace, for many a high redecorating bill has followed in the wake of poor fireplace construction, or perhaps an equally high remodeling bill. Equipment must- be proper and interior construction accurate-these are the two essential safeguards to correct fireplaces. TBB I'IBBPLACB Is the most lmportaBt feature la the home.

REE:S Ceramic tiles, which are tiles of ~lay molded and fired to a lasting beauty, are among the oldest building materials in the world. Those who are planning to remod'el an old bathroom or build a new one can well pause to consider a bath of real tile. Egyptian tombs of 6,000 years ;:tgo still show tiles of coloring and brilliance undamaged by time. In range of colors these tiles present an almost unlimited possibility. And because each tile is a ~eparate unit wide variety in design is . easily achieved. Polychrome effects in stucco are growing in popuarity because . of their lively appearance and freedom from any monotony or sameness. Into the finish coat, colored mortars are placed separately on the ~ortar board, and the trowel, cutting through the colors; applies them to the wall. Or if one wishes, all the colors on the mortar board may be blended bdore being troweled on the wall. Color is now a permanent part of stucco, a fascinating part. Most any tone comLination may be secured. ln planning a stucco house, study carefully the various possible color surfaces. A new insulating board and plaster base has just appeared on the market which is manufactured from wheat straw. For years farmers of the wheat grolving belt have burned their straw stacks after every harvest as being entirely useless, but now from what was formerly waste. this new insulating board is manufactured. Straw at the present time is being baled and shipped into St. Joseph , Mo., in large quantities, and a board manufactured which, it is claimed, possesses splendid structural strength as well as insulating value. Star sprinkled wall papers, popular for some time in various rooms of the home, have now invaded the bathroom. If this paper seems a bit expensive, gold and silver gummed stars may be purchased for small cost and placed on the walls . to resemble various astronomical groupings; the big dipper, the milky way and the like. After this the walls should be varnished w'i th some colorless material to keep the stars from being affected by the inevitable bathtub steam. One of the drawbacks to stucco con· struction heretofore is that in time the surface of the material would get dirty a~d wou.ld not be in complete harmony wtth pamted window frames. porches and stairs. Stucco contractors then devised a method whereby they were able to brighten up a stucco home. They used a thin splash coat of ce· ment, which was put on over the original material. This, however, for the average small home owner, was an expensive procedure, and consequently many were forced to allow their homes to assume that dirty look which ordinary stucco will acquire in a few ·years' time. To fill the need of the s~all hom~ owner, there has been put on the market a specially prepared paint for concrete work an_d, particu- PHONE--LONG BEACH 8223-24 The Happy Choice of critical people Critical people accustomed to the best recognize the unique appeal of an Orrington home-its quiet elegan(:e, its home-like environment, its courteous, friendly service~-and dwell here in preference to anywhere else.
