The front elevations of every type of house, stucco, concrete and concrete faced, complete and finished, are placed around the "court." Then, as if a gi- gantic knife had cut through them, the ceilings, walls, floors and foundations are laid bare showing just how they have been made. Sanctioned by the Chicago Real Estate board, the exposition is under the supervision of Robert H. Sexton, as managing director He is also in charge of the exposition in New York City. Henry G. Zander, Jr, who is fifth vice-president of the Chicago Real Estate board, is chairman of the committee of administration.

Monday is, "Plan- ning the Home"; Tuesday, "Selecting the Homesite"; Wednesday, "Financ- sey- ing the Home"; Thursday, "Building ' the Home"; Friday, "Equipping the Home," and the last day is, "Decorat- ing, Furnishing and Landscaping."
