COOPERATIVE LIVING IN ENGLAND
Plans for an Apartment House That Will

Plans for an Apartment House That Will
Have All the Comforts of Homo.
A well considered and comprehensive
scheme for cooperative housekeeping is
that soon to take tangible form at CHS
wick, asuburb of London. At this place,
half an hour from the city in time, and
reached by underground railway, two
we'll and favorably known architects
have secured six acres of land on which
to place the fabric of their very practical
dream.
The buildings erected by them will
surround the four sides of an oblong
quadrangle, and will have porter's
lodge at the street end At the other
end will be building containing dining
rooms, a kitchen and accommodations
for servants 1t will also contain num-
Der of single rooms for men whose means
or desires only make it possible for them
to have a very modest establishment.
These rooms will be divided into two
parts, the one where the bed stands con-
Meeting with the servants passage, so
that its occupant, if engaged in study,
writing or otherwise busy, need not be

put the rooms to rights.
The houses that face the quadrangle
range from little ones Of two or three
rooms to more spacious dwellings hay
ing ten or twelve. They vary in height
from two to four stories, and some of
them are arranged in fats, so that some
thing is provided for many tastes and
many purses On the exterior the houses
appear to be- nearly of the same size.
None of them has kitchen nor quar-
ters for servants, but servants will be-
under the roof of the club house and di-
rected by a matron, who each morning
will send to your door the necessary
number to do the sweeping, busting.
cleaning, etc.
When other service is required during
the day it is to be had by ringing a bell.
To meet this emergency rooms are set
apart here and there throughout the
building where servants are stationed
ready for action To prevent the funny
sight that might be presented by the
fitting of so many maids at so many
hours the houses have little covered
passageway at the back. The club din
ing room ia to be reached by covered
gallery across the fronts Of the houses
80 that wraps and umbrellas will be un.
necessary in Indictment weather, and one
may imagine herself stepping from one
room to another of her own house.
A family may order what it will for
dinner, with the certainty that it will
be we'll cooked and well served, in its
own compartment of the dining room
by servants who will lay the table &C.
cording to individual preferences
A number of private rooms well be
arranged for those who wish to give din
ner parties, while the only extra thought
for the friend or two brought home to
dinner will be to notify the head waiter.
II any profits result from this plan, after
expenses are paid, it is promised that it
shall be divided among the tenants.
Other features of the enterprise are ten
mis- courts, cricket grounds, swimming
baths for both men and women, gym
nasium, play rooms for children. a large
entertainment hall and a number Of
studios.
To regulate the social side of the prof.
ect, each tenant will have to have his
name presented by one Of the supporters
Of the plan. It is said the names OF
many men and women who are leaders
in artistic, literary and professional Lon
don are among its supporters Mr..
Mackmurdo, one of the originators Of
the plan, is preparing to put up similar
buildings in London and in a north Of
