built in at the time of building the
house. or it may be added later.
In plan so small it seems better
to leave out the pantry entirely, but
the fact is pantries are not consid-
cred as important as they once were.
In this plan a case extends clear
across one side of the kitchen and
there are shelves and cupboards from
the floor to the ceiling. which afford
storeroom for everything necessary.
and as there are four cupboard doors
to open out it is easy to get at any
part of the case of cupboards either
for cleaning or to reach the supplies
The intention is to leave one end of
the living room for the dining table
plan that is often adopted by those
living in small houses, Some house
keepers clear the table Immediately
after meals and use it for a reading
table between times. Other house
keepers have fancy movable screen
that may be used to partition the table
away from the rest of the room. Prob
ably combination of the two plans is
the most satisfactory
Only by living in house is it pos
sible to know how to adjust yourself
l to the different circumstances and
conditions. You learn by degrees to
nit yourself into the corners along
with the different articles of furniture
that especially appeal to you, until
you finally discover that YOU actually
| belong there and would not feel COM
Portable anywhere else. That is one
OF the strongest arguments in favor of
buying home. 1t is something to take
a keen interest in. you put your whole
heart into it, and you are happy, be-
cause the home is where the heart is.
