fore board is sawed or nail driven.
The first point to be settled liz location. Put
your stairs where most convenient for the fam
lily for whose use they are intended, and do not
start them directly from the front door for the
convenience Of burglars or other visitors Put
them where they can be well lighted by day
and night. Have an outside window to each
flight If practicable. If you build good stair
case in dark place, you lose half the advan-
tages Of 1t. Stairs may we'll be located in a
cold part OF the house. leave the warm and
sunny corners for living room,
Make them broad Of tread and easv OF rise.
No stairs meant for constant use should be
sleeper than seven and half inches " rise" pv
ten and half inches ''going, the "going'
being the horizontal distance from riser to ri
ser and not from riser to edge OF noslng
moulding, put one or more landings If prac-
ticaoie they make the way seem easier and
furnish good resting place. A seat or bench
on landing is a good thing when attainable.
See that the hand rail Is OF the right size to
be graspedl and the right height for the hands
and avoid sharp corners to newell posts that
would hurt the hand.
Don't sacrifice the main fight by squeezing
in mean bacl; stair by the side OF 1t. 1t is
much better evei. to have one staircase arrang'
