A rather pretentious house OF very
pleasing design is shown in the cuts.
There are many new features about
this house that are likely to become
popular.
The idea Of placing the stairway IN
the center or near the center OF the
house is a good one and am pleased
to note that the people generally ap'
prove OF it because feel that 1t is a
sensible improvement in house build
ing. In this plan the stairway rs
quite an innovation. While you start
up from almost the exact center OF
the house the most Of the space oc-
Gupied by the stair is against the
back wall, the least valuable space in
the house.
The stair itself is what you might
call a three way combination stair.
Besides the main stairway there is a
separate back stair from the kitchen
leading up ten steps to meet on a
landing This landing is high enough
to give head room for passageway
across under 1t leading from the
kitchen to the reception hall. This
gets back in sensible way to the
old idea Of connecting the kitchen
with the front door without being
obliged to pass through the dining
room. This passage way also gives
access to the cellar stair. which is
placed under the back stair. In this
passage way also is the opening to
the coat closet under the front stair.
Then from the landing up we have
but one pair of steps and this is all
that is necessary BY this arrange.
ment every foot Of space is made use
of for some good purpose. The room
ordinarily required to carry the back
stair to the upper floor is saved and
there is no corresponding objection.
It would be hard to find fault with
the arrangement in any particular.
In the living room and dining room
are beam ceilings. There is some.
thing about a beam ceiling that seems

nitely postponed in the assembly.
The bill provided for a commission
OF seven members. One was to be "A
physician, one Il minister. two teach
ers and the others ordinary citizens.
The commissioners were to be appoint
ed by tire governor with the advice
and consent of the senate. The com
mission being appointed ii was to i'm
vestigate all matters pertaining to
purity and public morals.' Books, ad-
Vertising, dress and costumes of act

scrutini2ed. Its powers were broad
in the scope and covered about every
thing In the daily conduct of Wiscon-
sin citizens.
But the plan did not appeal to the

was killed without mercy after Mr.
Frederick had spoken briefly in its sup

measure and it went to the legisla-
