NOBEL HOUSES,
AS rule, small houses are sof,adly built that
much Ut the space thcy ttcuy is wasted, to sav

iioored i'll English tile. This By large
sliding doors communicate with
rarloF fifteen by twcntV-four feet,
aud when the doors arc open, forms practically
ont, apartment with rne yestibule and hall. Be-
yoi,d this is L hall extending at right-ane1c
with the front hail entirely across tn. house.
In this hall are the stat ..ys to the upper lloor
and basement. Beycnd tuis hall is the dining
rou,n, twelve By fifteen feet, taking he entire
width and having door into the kitchen, which
is ten by t:"enty feet. except the pantry oil by
this door. 4 servants staircase leads up and
down from the TEA. Of the kitchen. The chain
bers are nearly identical in arrangement With
the lower part OF the house, excepting that tho
area over tho kitchen Is divided into two bed
roosns. Thus there is on tile second floor a
fine parlor chamber. Il spacious family bed
room, and Two smaller bedrooms BY tue s1de

the construct ion Of more mo'}cst dwellings are
given in 4 recent editorial i'll the Philadelphia
Lr1rer, which spcaks from the experience ot 4
