so arranged that four men will be in

the residence of four here will be ne

This move Oh the part of the railway

effect Of increasing largely the number of

not room in the house that is small
enough or awkward enough to be
ashamed Of. A house of this size gives
an opportunity to have a bedroom
downstairs-a convenience that every
house does not possess. There Is gen.
orally, In most families, at least one
old person who objects to climbing
stairs. 1t would be difficult to arrange
more comfortable bedroom than
this one; in fact, few large houses
have a room of this kind. AS a usual
thing. when building, too little atten.
tion is paid to the comfort OF the old
people. They have spent their lives
In the interests OF the family, and 1t
is only right that they should be re.
membered in their old age. We fire.
quently see aged people who are com.
PEELED to stay upstairs day after day
because they dread the trip up and
down.
The appearance OF this house de.
pends good deal on the colors and
stains used for outside decoration. On
general principles. 1t is good plan to
avoid all shades OF green. Green
paint is almost certain to fade; and
during the process. 1t is likely TO take
on some very sickly shades OF color
that are extremely disappointing.
Nothing looks better than light
shade OF green when 1t is first put
on; but nothing looks worse after It
has been exposed to the sun and
storms for five or six months. II a
man ever wants to kick himself for
doing something absurd In the deco.
ration line, 1t is for painting a house
green. Drabs and browns are al.
ways agreeable; and generally such
paints are lasting. Colors. however,
depend so much on the quality OF the
materials used that great care ia nee.

buy the paint yourself. or In making
contract II you have a painter do

Architects are often worried because
OF the demand for more closets than
they can find room for. One advan.
tage of arranging bedrooms in roof

the roof may be used to advantage for
this purpose. Some women prefer an
attic over the bedroom, but many
would rather have storeroom of this
