landing at the head OF the stair win be
as near TO the center of the house as
possible, making It an easy matter to reach
all OF the bed rooms on the second floor
without a great waste Of hall space
The day OF the small parlor is past. A
large living room, or as some prefer to call
IT, a drawing room. in which are combined

times the library has taken its place. We
always feel more at home and more hon
ored upon entering a home for the first
time to be taken into the family sitting
room where a more homelike atmosphere
prevails than is found in the formal par

adhere 20 the idea OF a reception room of
some sort. the separate library becomes
popular.
The dining room should always be con
sidered as the setting for a bouquet. some

adornment should be it's furniture. In
speaking thus, the sideboard is considered

to be. 1t is a great dust collector and to
have a number of pieces of fine china.
The dining room should be well lighted
While it does not matter so much in a
large dining room 1t is quite necessary
in a small one that the pantry or kitchen
door be located near one corner so that the
door will have a free space to swing in and
neither bump the back OF a chair or give
the servant a crowded space in which to
turn upon entering the room. This is a
small matter. but it is one of the many
little things that go to make a home con-
venient. 1t is not a pleasant matter to
have to make a right angle turn while
passing through a swinging door and have
1t hit you on the heels before you have
escaped it.
A volumn could probably be written on
the arrangement of kitchens. Some ladies
prefer Small kitchens that will a
steps" others declare they want kitchens
large enough to turn around n" In a
family where 1t is the habit to have break
fast in the kitchen, a large kitchen is, OF
course, a necessity. but where all the meals
are served in the dining room, a small,
well-arranged kitchen (0f course is can be
too smalD with everything arranged in
proper place, is without doubt, the most
practical. One of the main things to look
out for in the planning OF a kitchen is to
see that II has not too many openings and
that there is plenty of wall spaces for all
kitchen furniture, backs up against the
wall. Many people entirely forget the fact
that the Ice box is part OF every home and
that there should be an appropriate space
to put ii. Some people prefer to nave IL
in the pantry where the ice is not apt to
melt so fast and where il is both conVen-
lent for the dining room and kitchen. II
placed I'm the pantry It should always have
an outside filling door. Others prefer to
have 1t in the kitchen or I'm the entry.
The sink and range should be appropri-
ately located, IL being preferable to place
the sink near the pantry door or door lead
ing TO dining room where the soiled dishes
can be Immediately set down. 1t is not
always convenient to make this arrange
ment and keep the plumbing on a line with
the plumbing above, but whenever possible
IL should be done. The kitchen windows
should be at least three feet from the
floor to the sill so that the kitchen table
can be placed under 1t and there should
be a good wall space for a kitchen cum
board, either stationary or movable. Many
people prefer to have the flour boxes
built in a work table in the pantry where
they viii be away from the heat OF the
kitchen. Other people prefer to have 1t in
the kitchen cabinet or under a bullt~in
work table with a marble top. This is one
OF the many little things in the building
OF a home which goes by preference and
either way is right IL it suits the party
most concerned.
A clothes chute Is, OF course, always a
convenience and should be included when
possible. Fireplaces should always have a

Mystery in How
Sheehan is Hurt
Picked Up on Street Unconscious, He
Thus Remains for Nearly
Four Days.

p. ]. sheehan, 311sh Webster street, has
been unconscious for over forty hours.
He was picked up Thursday night at
Tenth and Pacific streets when lying on
the sidewalk apparently in a drunken
stupor and taken to the police station by
officer Fahey. Still remaining unconscious
he was removed to st. Joseph's hospital,
where he was examined by Police Surgeon
r. B. Harris. who found a bump on the
right side of the head.
How he sustained the injury to which
his comatose condition is ascribed is not
known.
Sheehan is married and has a family
and his wife when she was called to the
hospital could tell nothing to unravel the
mystery. She could not say whether her
husband had any more money i'm his pos
session than the 40 cepts found in a pocket
when he was searched at the station. The
police are inclined TO the belief that the
man was injured, not by falling, but by
getting a blow from somebody.
Sheehan is a fireman on the North
western railroad.

hearth so that the ashes can be dumped
IN a pit underneath into the cellar, in order
TO not have TO carry them through the
house. The time to arrange for all these
little conveniences of this nature is when
having the plans prepared. Many people
who attempt 10 build without properly pre-
pared plans, omit these things in their or
istnal rough draft or in their agreement
with the builder, with the result that the
bill Of extras sometimes amounts to a third
OF the contractors original estimate. In

VIII cost him in some cases many times
what he cares to spend and-in which very
lttle consideration has been given to the
external appearance or design. There are
a great many ways in which a home can
be designed and plRaaed and still meet the
same requirements as to number and size
OF rooms. One home with a certain floor
area will have a decided lack of homeIike
appearance, while another home with the
same amount of floor space and the Same
number of rooms win Immediately impress
one as being unusually homelike and con-
venient.
We will not consider the porch at this
time. since it belongs to the exterior de-
sign but start with the vestibule and then
take up each room step by step. The yes-
THULE so frequently used in the northern
part OF this country to give double doors
between the hallway and the weather is
usually a stry ineonvonient eontrivance
and seldom fills the requirements which
are expected OF 1t. The vestibule should
never be. nor appear to be, crowded. It

ing an exposed corner, The average vesti-
bule, in which must swing a three-foot
door, is three feet eight Inches wide by
three feet six inches or four feet between
doors. 1t can be easily seen that no one
can stand Inside OF the vestibule with the
inside door closed and open the outside
door. When a guest arrives here is the
usual program: Mrs. Hostess leaves the
inside door open so that she can back out
While opening the outside door. Her guest.
OF course. must shake hands and she pulls
her guest through into the hall during
this greeting and must then abruptly leave
her and go back and shut the outside door
In the meantime the house is filled with
a chilly north wind and the baby catches
cold. The vestibule Mould be large
enough TO admit both the hostess and the
quest and at the some time allow for the
free swing Of the outside door, open or
shut To do this the vestibule must either
be twice as long as the width OF the door
or else 1t must be twice as wide as the
front door with the distance betwee the
doors about one foot greater than the
width OF the door.
