WILMETTB LIFE August 23, 1934 Fi 1'OUR HOMEJ WVhat is this modern home idea that you hear so much about? Does a modern home have to look like a soap-box with queer triangles painted on the sides and stiff-uncom- fortable steel chairs and lamps that look like sky-scrapers, and ail that sort of thing? There bas been so much erroneous discussion by faddists that the real point has been almost Iost. The ideal modemn home is flot one that causes people to stare, or one that makes people uncomfortable, or looks freakish. Modernity, in its best sense, has to do with the good old American virtue of simplicity, coupled with practicality and comfort and the qualities that please the eye. The test of virtue in réal modernity is "does it do the work?" The word "functionaism" bas been coined to describe modern construction and de- sign. The way to keep your home young is to apply the measuring sticks as suggested above. See that your home is comfortable, well lighted, decorated ini pleasing color-and that things are simple and useful. For instance a geniuine modemn baby's high-chair is the one that can be easily washed when the baby spills his oatmeal in the tray-not the old fashioned curlicue wooden affair that furnishes an idéal Old People's Home for many species of germs that live long and propagate large 'and flour- ishing families. If a flat roof wiIl take came of the rain and snow, and if you happen to like it, it's functional and perhaps artistic as far as you are concerned. Ask for demonstration ai 'Te MUELLER, Florist 90 Liden Ave., Hubbard Woods or caii Glencoe 1003 I ~. r If you like ïa gable roof better, and if it is usefiLi, then it's a gable' roof that means modernity to you. An architect wilgv you good advice on tha t point. The big thing is to simplify and take advantage of the new inventions and ideas that make.for better liv- ing. Keep up with the times.> Keep your home young and your home will keep you young. - Copyright, 1934, Better Homnes & Gardens GUESTS IN, VILLAGE .Mrs. A. B.
