Home Interiors of Hardwood

By E. B. Vockel, of White Brotherg

The present style of finishing home interiors, requiring as a general thing very little lvoodwork, is an open invitation to the brrilder to display his originality in that clirection. The opportunity to use genuine hardrvoocl for this trim is not to be overlooked when it can be clone for so little extra cost.

The wood'rvork of a room consisting ordinarill' of a small base, door and rvindow casings and picture mouldings, requires only about one or two hundred feet of luml>er. The cost of milling the hardrvood is about trvice that of pine. The amount of harclwood itself required is so imall that there rvill not have to be any hesitation on that score.

Where built-in features are added.-book cases. sideboards. mantels, etc., in keeping .ivith the trirn of the room, they are of course far more practical when made of hardwood, 'ivl-rich is durable as .rvell as beairtiful. This in realitl' means to the owner genuine hardwoocl fnrniture installe<l in the home at an exceedingly moderate cost.

The first thought connected u'ith hardrvood, that of high value, is correct; it is quite trrre that the touch of hardwood trim adds clistinction and value to a home for years to come; holever, with the style of trim nou' in'vogue it is possible to obtain this high value at compartivelv moderate cost. The simple lines of the most moclest bungalorv can show the enduring beauty of hard'rvood as well as the larger roolns of the pretentious mansion.

The rvoods appropriate for home trim run all the way from the ever popular u'alnut, mahoganv, quarter sarved and plain oaks. and the soft tans of Southern Gum, to the ne\ver lr,oods such as Ha'rvaiian Koa. Philippine Mahogany ancl Jenisero.

The vista through beautiful rooms finished in hardwood trim is the utmost in home interiors.
