He want- [ed a small home for a family to which the same adjective also applies, but a large living room was insisted upon. It was also desired to place the home in an orchard without destroying any of the trees which were valuable from a monetary point of view and perhaps a sentimental one as well* Let us see how these wishes have been complied with. It is 28 ft. wide by an average length of not quite 21 ft. and the living room, 22 ft. x 11 ft, is certainly an wmique achievement in a house of this size, in fact, it appealed to the owner so much that the house is rapidly nearing completion. But what of the orchard? Not only is the "roll-call" setill the same but several of the trees have gained additfonal- value through being | taken into consideration from .a land- scape viewpoint. It is not a pretentious home from | thé standpoint of any such ideas as { "keeping up with the Jones." But, isn't it attractive?
