with the kitchen behind 1t and the
 dining room behind the living room ! Any Of these arrangements are COSY
 and convenient, but the preference may be said to rest with the first, which
 allows for the long. spacious living
 room. The living room of a western
 home of this type was made most Iiv-
 able by the use of many little built-in
 hooks and corners, and was divided by girders instead of the usuaI coiumns
 or posts. The fireplace Of olivegreen
 tile had built-in bookcases on either side, with two windows above 1t, and the dull red walls harnonized with
 the woodwork of dressed redwood left
 in it's natural color. Sliding giass
 doors between the living room and the
 den were a unique feature that fur
 ther gave the impression of spacious ness
 It is surely the day of the built-in
 furniture. It owes it's vogue not only to the artistic demands which it meets so gratifyingiy, but to the practical de mands fer compact utility. There is the han-tree in the haIl and perhaps the built-in seat with it's hinged top i; the bOokshelves in the living room, the fireplace. the ingle nook, and the win dow seat all component parts of the room; the sideboard and the cupboard in the dining room, the kitchen cabinet and refrigerator and medicine chest and linen sbelves-all adding to the beauty and convenience of the house.
 In nothing so much as tn the new hreplaces does the creditable tendency to express ourselves in the materials themselves rather than in ornamenta- tion show itself. They are well designed and, in a reaction from the overelab- oration of few years ago, gre along or mission lines Great care is given to the selection of tfllng, when used.
