A House That Folds Up.

saw a seashore lodge once, built by a nan and his wife, who not only had an increasing family of small children. but LIso numbers of nieces and nephews and friends, whom they loved to invite to the absolutely free life of their wilderness bdge. And they contrived a unique and inexpensive method of having many kems for sleeping, without an immense Aouse space beside. The house had a vide porch. and a deep square bay or slookout' in the living room. This room vas itself square, and each corner had loom built in 1t which had one perma- sent wall and one on hinges. The parti- Hons running from back to front were i'm movable, those running from side to side were hung on heavy strap hinges and turing the day folded back against the Enmovable partitions, making thus all loves in each corner. the center being a lauare, open space. Both partitions were H inch matched boards To accommodate he staircase, which started up by one Of heee solid partitions. one of the rooms" AAa hAl9 of the way of the stairs. In-

side each alcove was a woven wire mat tress, secured to the solid partition by hinges, and with it's thick cotton quilt mattress tied on it. This was raised by a pulley and rope by day. and a curtain ran over 1t.
 The staircase led to a gallery which ran about twelve feet deep around the build ing, making the ceiling of these four lower rooms and of the square spaces between. In each corner was another room. rather larger than those below, while in the recesses between were win dows and lockers. and these were four loafng places. Great stone jars of gold enrod and sea-marsh grasses stood in them, an old spinning wheel. an aqua rum, many odd and characteristic things The roof of the house, with it's central peak, made the ceiling for all this upper portion, and the whole effect was unique in the extreme. There were then eight bedrooms at night, four in the daytime The fireplace was between the two back corners and served also as chimney for the kitchen stove. the witchen being a one-story extension
