I T was not only the feeling of spa¬ 
ciousness and leisure which went 
into the fine old homes which we 
regard today as “mansions.” It was 
sound oak, and clear white pine, and 
well-made woodwork. It was love and 
skill in planning; pride in workmanship. 
Today houses are built faster and more 
efiiciently. Space is saved, thereby cut¬ 
ting down the labor of housekeeping 
and the cost of heating. Furniture and 
equipment are installed that make living 
easier and the new houses have just as 
much beauty and sentiment as the best 
of the old ones.
