itself is rounded off.

THE BEAD AND RABBET.--A more amplified form of work is available where
the rabbet plane is used with the beader. These two planes together
will, if properly used, offer a strong substitute for molding and
molding effects.

Fig. 219 has both sides first rabbeted, as at A, and the corners then
beaded, as at B, with the reduced part of the member rounded off, as at
C. Or, as in Fig. 220, the reduced edge of the member may have the
corners beaded, as at D, and the rabbeted corners filled in with a round
or concaved moulding (E).

SHADING WITH BEADS AND RABBETS.--You will see from the foregoing, that
these embellishments are serviceable because they provide the article
with a large number of angles and surfaces to cast lights and shadows;
and for this reason the boy should strive to produce the effects which
this class of work requires.

CHAPTER XI

HOUSE BUILDING

House building is the carpenter's craft; cabinet-making the joiner's
trade, yet both are so intimately associated, that it is difficult to
draw a line. The same tools, the same methods and the same materials are
employed.

There is no trade more ennobling than home building. It is a vocation
which touches every man and woman, and to make it really an art is, or
should be, the true aspiration of every craftsman.

THE HOUSE AND EMBELLISHMENTS.--The refined arts, such as sculpture and
painting, merely embellish the home or the castle, so that when we build
the structure it should be made with an eye not only to comfort and
convenience, but fitting in an artistic and aesthetic sense. It is just
as easy to build a beautiful home as an ugly, ungainly, illy
proportioned structure.

BEAUTY NOT ORNAMENTATION.--The boy, in his early training, should learn
this fundamental truth, that beauty, architecturally, does not depend
upon ornamentation. Some of the most beautiful structures in the world
are very plain. Beauty consists in proportions, in proper correlation
of parts, and in adaptation for the uses to which the structure is to be
put.

PLAIN STRUCTURES.--A house with a plain facade, having a roof properly
pitched and with a simple cornice, if joined to a wing which is not
ungainly or out of proper proportions, is infinitely more beautiful than
a rambling structure, in which one part suggests one order of
architecture and the other part some other type or no type at
