House and Garden 
hardware. I am anxious to have my 
small house correct in every particular, 
but as it is very simple and very plain 1 
feel that it is almost impossible to obtain 
any hardware which is sufficiently with¬ 
out ornament to look well. 
While I think a great deal of the ap¬ 
pearance, I am also very anxious to use 
something in the way of locks which 
work easily, as I have had much diffi¬ 
culty in my present house with the stick¬ 
ing of locks. Will you send me some 
addresses from whom I can obtain some 
information in regard to the proper kind 
to use Also suggest in a general way 
what I should select. 
The woodwork for the lower floor is 
of yellow pine, stained in a dark shade 
of brown; the walls are tinted with a sani¬ 
tary wall finish in pastel colors, dull blue, 
brown and old rose. The fixtures will 
be of brush brass. Should I have some¬ 
thing similar for the hardware .? 
Answer: I am mailing you an ad¬ 
dress which I am sure will prove satis¬ 
factory in the way of furnishing you with 
the information you desire. The abso¬ 
lute simplicit)^ of the hardware recom¬ 
mended will appeal to you, and suit your 
rooms excellently. 
I am mailing you a cut showing some 
of these pieces, and would advise your 
addressing the firms to whom I refer 
you. The fixtures should be' of the 
same style as the hardware. ^ 
WATER SUPPLY 
I am building a bungalow in New 
Jersey and as it is set in the wooded 
heights and quite a distance away from 
any town I shall have to install some¬ 
thing in the way of a water supply. 
Will you kindly give me some suggestions 
in regard to this 
Also, what would you recommend in 
the way of the proper heating appliance, 
steam, water, or furnace I have two 
open fireplaces, one of these in a large 
living-room is very wide and faced about 
with the cobblestones gathered from 
about the place. Should the andirons 
here be of iron or brass ? 
Answer: I send you some addresses 
of firms to whom I would refer you for 
the water supply, and also for the heat¬ 
ing apparatus of your house. The 
steam or hot water is recommended 
in preference to the hot air, although 
M aking a home artistic is as essential 
as making it secure. From the Yale 
Lock has been developed and per¬ 
fected a line of hardware which bears the same 
relation to artistic treatment as the Yale Lock 
does to security and convenience. It is pos¬ 
sible with

to add a permanent touch of beauty to your 
home at a very small outlay. Whatever your 
good taste suggests in the way of design can 
be had in several grades, and the scheme of 
treatment you select can be carried from your 
front door to the drawer pulls on your side¬ 
board.

designs as we think you will like and send
