IXAY is always some waste room in

ISAlEH4l while Il must also be admitted
80 that the average person pre-
fers a two-story house when means will
permit. and that therefore full two
story house is little more saiable, homes
OF cottage style stnl continues to be
popular.
There are two notable reasons for the
continued popularity OF cottage styles.
The main reason is the fact that they
cost little less than full two-story
house, another reason Is the fact that
while the average small family REQUIRES
tho same number Of rooms on the first
story, as large family, though their
size may vary, the small family does not
require as many bedrooms. the size Of the
house being governed by the number and
size of the first-story rooms. often makes
the second story contain greater amount
OF rooms in full two-story house than
small family would require. The availa-
BILE floor space on the second floor is
therefore restricted to just what is re-
quired in the way OF bed rooms and the
space not required is placed under low
roof sants and used as closets in order
to reduce the house in height and omit
the expense OF a large attic. which Is
often nothing more than "catch-all'
| for cast away things that would be dis
posed OF as soon as not needed, instead
OF gathered in dusty heaps when there
is no special place to put them.
There are two distinct styles of the cot
tage home. The Oldest and most popular,
by reason of the fact that 1t gives moro
/ room on the second story for the amount
invested, is the gambrel-roofed style.
Sometimes called dutch Colonial" ewing
to Its popularity with the early Dutch
settlers Of the New England states Its
principal characteristic is the broken
roof, or roof in two slants, the lower
slant very steep and the upper slant quite
| low, the exact proportion of these slants
| gives either an attractive or an unat-
tractive appearance, according to the
skill Of the designer. No set rule can be
laid down as TO the exact proportion,
since it is governed by the general pro-
portions of each home. While more labor
