Ilomesi attrnetive, pleasing, eonvenieiit, profitable and "homelike" are twen- tieth century homes. The homes of nations in the van of the world's proprP'"'. If your home is not of that type, why not? Home Development a Good Hobby. Development of the home surroundings affords a splendid hobby. A hobby whieh is good e.\ereise and often real work too, but always of a character which gives an abundant reward. Should you not own a home, but rent it only, its development will still nmi)ly repay you. The time and money sj>ent will be well spent. What voti need Mr. Ilomemaker is a good start at the real thing and you will never regret it. Do you know any one who doesi When to Start.

Everything will dciicnd im the situation, location and size of the lot. The accompanying plan is one suggested for a home where tiic t)wner's time is limited. Its plan and planting arrangement will involve the very niininnitn iiinouut of labour and* expense in its upkeep. How to Proceed. The first consideration in most case^ is a gm d lnwn. Around every house a good lawn is like a good carpet in a r(M)ni. It siiould be well made and well kept. It should not be cut into by walks more than iHissilile, and flowers are more easily tended aiisitions they help to make the hou .mil grounds a hiirmonious whole and a pleasing picture. Other good )iositions for si.rnl' are by bo\nidiiry fences and in tiie corniTs of the lot.
