e a d is a metal that handles a L^ lot of tough jobs. You know that You know how it stands up against time and weather. Well, paint has to stand up against such punishment too. So it's only natural that good paint is made from lead. And that's a fact "White lead'' is what they call it It isn't the metal of course. But white lead is made straight from the pure metal, lead. You can't use any other metal for making paint and get the same result White lead puts a tough, elastic coat on your bouse that sure can take it That's not just my idea. You can find out the same thing from any painter who knows his business. Most of them won't paint their own houses with anything else. It's gospel truth that you're money ahead when you paint with white lead. Ar E drcoratorc inooty?

Its big windows open to the out-ofdoors in typical California fashion. Yet it's economically rectangular in stead of sprawled out like many of its California kind. It's therefore an economical home for George Mc Laren, and for you, to build any where--Texas or Oregon or Florida or New York. It's also a home for the couple whose offspring are mak ing their own way now, who there fore don't yen for the expense of keeping up a big, boxy, obsolete house. A NOTEWORTHY economy fea ture, other than its compactness, is the hip roof, which is a Sampson among roofs because it's a natural arch from all four directions instead of two, as is the gabie roof. This hip roof costs less because it eliminates that triangular piece of sidewall on the gable ends. The exterior of this home is brick, plaster, and wood siding painted cream. There's an eye-soothing sym metry about it--about the applegreen shutters flanking the dining room windows and repeated on the open porch: the whopping big bay window centered between the two; and the chimney squatting fat and flat on the peak of the roof, again in the exact center. Very nice clas sical balance. Visualise with the roof stained crav. The kitchen is the .son George McLaren's wile has longed for ever since the)' were married. The wide bay window ore the sink lets in on each side of the sink. On th~ posite side of the kitchen clo the dining-room door is the raand beside it is more drawer . cupboard space.
