The so-called Spanish mission style is both a popular and practical type of home if you want to bulld a stucco house with simple yet distinctive ex- terlor. It is a vivid style with a romantic history. It ddtes back to the time when Mexico owned California and the southwest; when the Catholic padres and wealthy Spanish grandees bullt their homes and missions after Spanish traditions, with big, cool rooms, pale tinted plaster walls and rich red Spanish tiled roofs.

One of the most important parts of the house in hot weather is the porch. To make the porch habitable and at- tractive does not cost an excessive amount of money, although all the money the home owner can afford to spend on the porch as a general rule is money well spent. It is more important to use good taste than it {s to use large sums of money. The porch is the center of 1ife in the summer time. The use of soreens to keep out fiies | and mosqultos is important, although | there aro certain styles of porches in the use of which scraens seem incon- | gruous. The colonlal porch with tall columns must remain open all the time for the sake of appearances.

Furniture for the porch may be painted any color to harmonize with the surroundings, but it is well to remember that when the painting is done at home the paint should not be put on too thick, as it will get sticky In hot weather.
