modern conveniences have come into
general use.
The modern idea of a practical kitch-
en- is compactness rather than size.
A little modern kitchen like this saves
miles of walking. Cooking and meal
serving can be done so much quicker
when the tools are all kept within easy
reach of the one doing the work. The
pantry is placed between the kitchen
and dining room, but it is not neces-
sary to go through the pantry in pass
ing from one room to the other. The
entrance to the cellar has the same
convenience of access as the entrance
to the pantry.
House repair work shows that the
greatest wear on the floors is between
the stove, the sink, the pantry and
the cellarway. Starting with these data
architects have labored to reduce
these lines of travel to the shortest
possible dimensions and at the same
time crowd all of the necessary con-
veniences into this restricted space.
The finish of modern kitchen is
designed and carried out as carefully
as the finish of any other part of the
house. Modern kitchens are made as
light and attractive as possible Very
often the woodwork is finished in white
enamel and the walls are made white
and washable. Wall paper has no
place in a modern kitchen. The wall
must have hard, glossy, sanitary
finish and there must be no cracks
large enough to admit little red ants
or insects of any other dimensions.
Not only the comfort of the house.
wife, but the health of the family, de-
ponds on kitchen sanitation. The first
law of sanitation is light and sunshine.
although cleanliness really is part
of this first rule. When kitchen is
made light, the walls and ceiling hard
and washable with well-laid hard
wood floor, then cleanliness follows
easily.
The laundry in this plan is under
the kitchen and there is an outside
cellarway for convenience on wash
days. Every housekeeper is particu-
lar to have the clothes hung outdoors
when weather will permit. The out
side cellarway, in combination with
good outside clothesline, means
great deal in helping to produce snowy
white linen.

that has become decidedly popular for
the outside covering of One-story
houses. The economical upkeep Of
single siding appeals to a great many
owners because of the saving in paint.
To keep a wooden house looking re-
spectacle it is necessary to give it a
good coat of paint about once in two
or three years, which generally in
cludes every square inch of surface
below the shingles. Sometimes the
roof is included
In this design the color of the shin
giles never changes, so that paint is
unnecessary except for the trim. The
columns, bands, fascia boards, brack-
cts and window trim are the only out
side features that require attention
from the painter.
The rough brick supporting piers
and chimneys are left in their natural
rough-and-ready coat of brown, which
harmonizes with the general color
scheme in very satisfactory manner.
The plan of this artistic cottage is
similar to a regular five-room bunga-
low, which places the living room, din
ing room and kitchen on the sunny
side of the house. The two bedrooms,
with bathroom, occupy the side to the
north or east, according to the direc-
ton in which the house faces.
This plan shows rather large din
ing room, which is really part of the
living room, being connected by a
wide archway which practically makes
the two rooms into one splendid room
26 feet in length with abundance of
light from half dozen windows.
A very interesting feature, and one
that especially interests the women, is
the manner in which the kitchen is
built. 1t occupies bright, sunny
corner and is so arranged that it
makes a real house workshop, with
all the necessary attachments near at
hand. The kitchen itself is compare
lively small, but it is in close contact
with the pantry, the stairway leading
down to the cellar and the other stair
way leading up to the attic. Then the
rear porch is almost part of the
kitchen.
The plan shows kitchen sink close
to a large window, and the stove is
directly between two windows. Both
the stove and sink are convenient to
the pantry and to the cellarway, where
supplies are stored. The making of a
home kitchen is considered in diff
ferent light since hot and cold water,
gas for cooking, and other so-called

READING FOR THE SOLDIERS
EnqIishmen of Prominence Interest
Themselves in Providing Litera-
ture for the Soldiers.

The London Times announces the
completion of plans for the publica-
ton of reading material in new and
portable form, especially suitable for
the trenches. Sir Walter Raleigh,
professor of English literature at Ok
ford, has aided the Times in this work.
The Times has undertaken to supply
"a numerous and various selection of
the best passages, grave and gay.
from English verse and prose" to be
printed on fyleaves, or broadsheets,
and sold in mixed sets at very low
price. Each broadsheet can be in
closed in a letter without adding to
the cost of postage, while whole assort-
ments can be sent to officers for dis
tribution among the men. OF these
broadsheets thirtysix, in sets of six,
have been arranged for.
The first set Includes: The two tes-
taments; Shakespeare, Milton and
Wordsworth; "Pericles to the Athen-
ians" (Froissart on back); selections
from the "Compleat Angler Dickens
"a Game of Cribbage"; Macaulays
Amanda" In the second set are:
The "Song of Deborah; four poems
on the war; three essays by Bacon;
David Harris, Cricketer" (Nyren);
The Worthy Commander" (Over-
bury); Partridge at the Play (from
Tom Jones). The third set offers:
1.-THE Blessed Life; 'The Last Fight
Of the Revenge; "The Winchester
Country" (Cobbett); some SHAKES
speare songs: "Mr. Micawber's Trans
actions;" "Cavanagh, the Elves
Player" (Hazlitt).
The fourth set is varied, starting out
with King Solomons Prayer. Follow
ing this are: '"The Men in Buckram;"
Tolstoy's "a Future Life;" "a Swim
Below Niagara" by Trelawny; ADO
nais;" two letters of Charles Lamb.
David and Goliath heads the fifth
list, followed by Pope's THE Secret
Happiness; Prayer; Interview With
a Pasha" (Kinglake): "A Quarrel With
the Captain" (Fielding), and ''The Bal
lad of Agincourt." In the last set are:
Elijah and the RAIN" Gray's ell
egy;" Bunyan's "The River of DEATH"
"The City at Night" "Old Trees" and
bob Acres Duel' (Sheridan).

He had lot of money, but no dis

that he affected contempt for pride OF
birth. And there was another man
whose family tree was tall and UNI

assets worth mentioning. A discus

profound interest. Each avoided

Fig. 81.
The distance apart to place the box
supports will be determined, of course,
by the size that you want to make the
booth. Seven feet square, outside
measurement, is a good size. The coun-
ter boards should be twelve inches
wide, and long enough to make a
continuous counter extending from
corner to corner. This is not shown
in Fig. 2, but it is indicated in the
plan diagram of Fig. 8.
The canopy framework is made of
four poles &C, Fig. p. The lower
ends of these are secured to the tops
of uprights 3, and the upper ends
are suspended from a screw eye
screwed into the ceiling directly over
the tops of the booth. These poles
must project six inches or so over
the tops of uprights B, and be long

In the East the word cottage gener-
ally means a one-story house with a
hip roof of rather low pitch.
1t is popular way to build small
house at reasonable cost, and at the
same time to incorporate sufficient
tone to command respect.
The accompanying perspective and
floor plan shows this type of house
built for rather narrow lot, so that
the dimensions are somewhat different
from the eastern type.
This design shows a very pleasing
approach from the street. The broad
concrete walk and front steps leading
to the wide front door all combine to
present liberal invitation to friends
and acquaintance with the suggestion
that a sociable latch string hangs out.
Instead of building a veranda clear
across the front of the house, as for
merly, the fashion now leans in favor
of sun parlors The idea seems to
be that a porch or veranda is COM
