The house is marked by a Star model home sign. Find Many New Features, Visitors who attended the opening {uumy found many new features in jome design, equipment and decoration which brought forth expressions of ap- preciation and approval. ‘There was the neat landscaping plan, in which the lawns, walks, distinctive steps, flowers, shrubs and stone pedestal in the rear garden all served to provide & charming setting for the house, At the rear the visitors found an appealing outlook over Foundry Branch Valley, the large hillside and ravine area of natural forest, which is to be developed into & Government park. Another feature is the covered goreh which is & constituent Tt of architectural plan of the house, which gmvxdel an inviting entrance into the jouse proper where one found himself in an entrance hall, both charming and actical in treatment, with a tile floor- ng and having coat closet. From this the visitor stepped through an arched opening into the living room. om this ition one could look through the dining room and screened rear porch out upon the forested section to the rear. While men found favor with the workable arrangement of the basement, with its adjoining garage partly under the house and partly under the rear porch, modern hegting system and other service features, the visiting fair sex were volcing appreciation over the compact facilities of the practical plan of the kitchen with its efficient array of cupboards and sink under a cen window overlooking the park, mechan- ical refrigeration, special lighting plan and storage cupboards. Third Floor Attractive. On the second floor were found & master bed room at the front, two other bed rooms at the rear, both connecting with & second-story screened rear porch, An especially attractive feature of this model home is the third floor which is distinctive both in arrangement and treatment, Here are two studio rooms. Across the front of this floor is a study or sitting room where one may retreat for rest or study, secluded from the | & other portions of the house. At the rear is an additional bed room, with a private bath with built-in shower. Both rooms have walls of heavy lmulnlns material which has been painted an stippled to present an unusual and pretty mottled effect, the lighter tones of the base color showing through the tints of the top coat. ‘The ceilings of the rooms of this floor are high and show largely the broken roof lines of the house. The- cellings are sufficiently vaulted to provide full use of the room without the slanting roof lines interfering with movement about the rooms. ‘The house, one of & up of eight of the same general architectural motif, each of which differs somewhat from its neighbor in plan, is of the “double front” character, with special attention being given to the rear elevation and rear lawn to eliminate the unpleasant features usually found in and on the rear of the average dwelling.

An instrument to test the stiffness, resiliency and wrinkle ability of ecloth has been devised by the Bureau of Standards, It is called a flexometer and meas- ures the amount of energy necessary to crease fabric. As stiffness, resilience and weight all contribute to the ability of a fabric to drape well, it is pointed out that the evaluation of these properties may lead to an exaltation of drape. ‘The flexometer is expected to be of use in determining the effect of fabric constructions and of finishing processes on these properties.
