It's right for the family that hopes to build a larger home some day, because the apartment might then be rented out or used as a guest house. It's good choice, too, for the couplo that would like to supple- hont the family Income with a small monthly check for garage rental.
The two buildings of this type shown here are attractive and practical. "The Adger," the two-storey house at right, has four rooms. Quarters are small but comfortable, and smart de- corating can create an illusion of space.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Longer Life For Nylon Hose
By ELEANOR ROSS
THE hosiery trade opines that women are strange creatures
What we iemand is hose that is sheerer than ever, that can hardly be discerned on the let, yet such hosiery should be strong as iron and run-resistant This just isn't possible, but with proper care in donning, wearing and storing, don't you find that sheer hose does give remarkably good wear? We do!
For general wear, though, it is wise to specify 15-denler 41- gauge stockings, as does the Army Quartermaster Corps for womer. in the armed services. That of course is a heavier weight than the very sheer variety, and it is comparable to what we used to call "ɛervice weight" silk stockings,
Last longer
Certain buying and handling methods help to make fashion- able sheers last longer. Buy several pairs of matching hose so that a run docen't leave a useless minnatch. Most brands come three pairs to a box, and we have found this an excellent way to purchase hose,
Many stores have clerks trained to assist customers choosing the proper measurement and length, no that the stock- ings relected will fit and be subjected to ʼn minimum of strain. Roll hose on and off carefully. For this some women wear gloves, to that there won't be a chance of a run cowsed through choppert hands or uneven nall edges. And keeping the feet well groomed, skin meath, nolis properly filed, no cortis or calloures—not only makes for comfort and well-being but helps to prolong stocking service.
Safest way
The best and cafest way to launder hose is to use a container Olled with warm auds, and thake them clean, followed by a good rinsing. One firm puts out a special container for this purpose, but a covered pint jar works well, too. Blotting the hơse on à clean towel helps to ranove excess moisture and makes for quick drying. To dry hose, hung“
