unique arrangement OF the rooms. The
house can be set upon a rock or q high
foundation, and this eliminates the ex-
pense o. excavation. The builder with
this foresight can pat himself on the
back In future years. II the home Is
erected in this manner the basement af-
fords the laundry, the den, the heating
department and the lavatory. The den
has one OF the brick nreplaces. so at
tractlve in the bungalow. The wainscot-
ing Is paneled and the easement win
dows can be made attractive.
In this style Of home on the first floor u
usually the living room. the dining
room. two bedrooms. the buffers pantry
and the bath. The built-in places are q
feature attractive to the eye and unique
in design. One Of these is a seat near
the stairway, with a hinged top. The
latter Is opened and a nne place to store
umbrellas, rubbers, canes and the Ike
Is revealed.
In the door Of the closet nearby Is one
Of those long mirrors. 1t is situated In
such a way that a person leaving the
house or entering can take a final or
first look at themselves. Usually In this
style home bookcases are arranged along
all of the walls Of the large living room,
on either side OF the nreplaces. Radia-
tors are often concealed from the eye
by seats-seats as soft and comfortable
as they can possibly be made. In one
corner Of the dining room a large mis-
sion china closet oils the space TO an
advantage. while the buffet can be
placed in the waIl-fairly embedded IN
the dark wood. In the passageway TO
the kitchen, linen closets and closets
for all sorts of u5es are at hand.
An idea has been carried out In one
of the new bungalow homes that is
truly unique In Itself and in the course OF
time will probably be adopted in many
homes, whether thex are bungalows or Of
some other style. Everyone knows how
the Pullman berths are arranged. They
take up very little space. in fact. the
smallest space that can be imagined.
Well, these new beds are arranged on
the same plan. Two Of them are inside
the wainscoating OF the bedroom. To the
unsuspecting eye there Is nothing about
the wainscoating to attract special at
tention. but the pressure on a small but
ton allows the bed to drop into place.
II Is much the same as the usual Pull
man berth. except that il is more COM
Portable and at a better distance from
the floor When the beds are closed much
more space is given in the room and
there is no crowded appearance so com
mon in many OF the smaller homes.
One of the pretty creations for the
dining room Is the dome light This can
be arranged for either gas or electricity.
and the effect on a table Is splendid.
The dome light gives the light where IL
Is most needed, and the pretty shades
throw their colors around.
An idea of the latest homes is to dis
pose Of the radiators. They are placed
where they will be the least noticed.
then covered with some sort Of a fancy
seat. Many are concealed with uphol-
stored window seats, or are so much
smaller than the old ones as to attract
no attention. The old-style gilt radiators
are a thing Of the past. and the plan Is
TO place them where they VIII serve
their purpose yet answer another pur-
pose as well.
Many builders OF new homes have
adopted the idea OF having no corners IN
the kitchen and bedrooms. The corners
are rounded in such a manner that II Is
an impOssibility for dust to collect They
simplify cleaning 10 a great extent and
from a sanitary standpoint are infinitely
superior to the corners that lure dust
and dirt Dust and dirt are the friends
Of germs, and germs have been proven
tha boon companions OF disease 81 that
