NEW BLACKFOOT HOMES. +.
| The new homes recently completed
and those under construction are ad
ding much to the appearance of oul
town. The first one visited was thai
Of Dr.. Mitchell, corner University ay
and Bridge street. 1t is entirely fin.
ished and the DR.. and Mrs. Mitchell
are comfortably housed therein. The
outside is painted soft mellow shade
OF yellow that lends its coloring well
to the graceful design of the cottage
which contains five rooms and bath,
well supplied with convenient, roomy
closets, for clothes, linen and dishes,
which are always delight to the
housewife. There is tidy little en-
trance too, that contains hall tree

having an arch opening that allows
the visitor to get a glimpse of the
inviting room beyond, at once they
enter the door. You know first i'm
pressions are lasting ones, and for
that reason the first glance visitor
gets of your home should be one Of
pleasing satisfaction. The living
room is large and well lighted, the
attractive opening between this and
the inviting dining room contains
square column supports that add just
the necessary amount of ornament,
while the entire arrangement lends
fortunate relief to the length of the
rooms and makes the design as a

well-built fire place in the sitting
room. While a good size stove in the
dining room will furnish the basis of
heat for the entire house. The wood
work is Of Washington tamareck that
combines well with the walnut furni-
ture. The walls throughout are tint
ed in colors that blend well with the
furnishings. The electric light fix
lures are of the latest designs with
as watchword. A cellar
is made conveniently accessible by
an open stairway in the back porch.
Altogether the house is pleasing and
