osity TO the average builder or architect.
The planning Of a small home is more
difficult than the planning Of a larger
one. to meet the requirements OF the
same family. No, because the arrange
ment can not be as convenient. for any
thing built on a large scale can be built
on small scale. within a certain rea-
sonahie minimum. but because the aver
age person has an exaggerated idea as to
how much room they need. for living
purposes.
When sitting In the parlor. with two
or three friends, the actual space that

Tor furniture Is not considerable, when

In the dining room, OF course. the .~.e
OF the table, together with the fact that
a passage must be maintained around the
outside Of the seated guests, establishes a
ten foot minimum for the least dimension.
The dining room should be made a little
longer than Its narrowest dimension. TO
permit extension Of the table on special
occasions. This extra length is often
obtained by projecting a bay. which when
properly designed adds to the attractive
ness both within and without.
