STAIR SPACE UTILIZED.
Unique Clothes Chests Provided in
New Warder Street Homes.

Space under the attic stairs has been
utilized for cedar clothes chests in ten
attractive homes of the six-room type
which have been erected by Kennedy
Bros. on the east side of Warder street
south of Quebec street northwest. The
risers of the stairs form the fronts of
cedar chests which may be removed
while articles are being packed in
them.
Another interesting feature in the
houses is the manner in which the kitch-
ems are ventilated. The pipe carrying off
the heat and odors from the gas range
in each house has been fitted into a
much larger pipe which is flush with
the kitchen ceiling. About the smaller
pipe is a series of holes. Heat col
iected in the hood above the gas range
causes a draft in the pipe above it,
which serves to ventilate the upper
portion of the room. The ventilating
pipe extends to the roof.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH.
Genoa.

Genoa offers the best~opportunity of
them all for a stroll among conditions
such as existed 500 years ago, when the
medieval world was at it's best Genoa
the Proud it was called in the middle
ages. and the ancient part of the town
is still riot of palaces of those palmy
days.
The older streets of Genoa abound in
these palaces built in the sixteenth
century for the occupancy of noble
families of this seaport of western Italy
that then We'd with Venice in wealth.
Many of those palaces are still occu-
pied by descendants of the same fam
ilies, while others have fallen into pie
bcian hands and have shops on the
ground floor.
4 stroll among these palaces is the
best thing that Genoa now has to Of
fer. Their exteriors are solemn and
imposing. evidently built that they
might Withstand attack and many of
| them bearing the scars of battles that
were waged between the rival noble
families. One enters through an arched
gateway and finds himself in court :
yard, adorned with fountains and rich
statuary. Grand marble staircases,' al
ways the feature of the Genoese pal
aces of the renaissance. lead into the
body of the houses, where are to be
found salons and art galleries, many
of them still rich with the paintings
and sculpture of Italy in her art prime.
Most of these structures are five
stories tall and were the sky-scrapers of
their day. The streets upon which
they are located are often narrow and
without sidewalks. Their ancient flag
stones are deeply worn by the passing
of many generations of feet.
Another of the interesting sights of
Genoa is the ancient cathedral OF San
Lorenzo. which dates back to 100. Its
effect is most peculiar. for 1t is built
in alternate layers of black and white
marble. It's most famous of many rel
les is the holy grail, said TO be the cup

The Glory of the Laurel.

From the Boston Herald
The most beautiful plant of the flora
of North America is the mountain
laurel, named by the great Linnaeus
himself in honor of his favorite pupil,
Peter kelm, who discovered it while
travelling in America almost two CEN
turtles ago. For a few weeks every
spring the laurel makes countless hill
sides and forest glades from New
Hampshire to Louisiana indescriba bly,
lovely, with it's clusters of pink and
white blossoms. This is tho time to
see the New England laurel and to
delight in its beauty. When one may
take advantage of the opportunity he
should see the enormous masses of
laurel in northern and central Massa-
chusetts, and if he cannot do this
he should make the shorter pilgrim
age to Jamaica Plain, where he will
find it in the Arboretum nesting at
the base of Hemlock hill. The finest
show of the year at the Arboretum is
that which the laurel presents. Right
now, indeed, the Arboretum is pro-
nounced by its director to be at it's
very best. Many other beautiful things
are now in all their glory there and
the great plantations of laurel are in
full bloom.

REMODEL|NG OLD HOMES
Original Design Unimportant in Re-
construction Work, According
to Writer.

There is an erroneous belief that
only historical mansions or old colonial
buildings of originally good design will
permit of reconstruction or effective
remodeling. While it is true the better
the subject the easier will be the solv-
ing of the problem, it should neverthe-
less not discourage any one from at
tempting the remodeling Of any type of
old house, no matter how dilapidated
or what period OF architecture 1t
might be. says writer in the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger.
1t, however. must be understood that
in order to produce effective and eco
nomical reconstruction the old house at
least should possess some of the de-
sired requisites, such as location of
rooms. stairways. entrances, etc. In
house is to be demolished, with nothing
but the exterior walls standing and
to which is to be added a wing or two
of twice the size. then forget the re-
modelling and build a new house. AT
the same time avoid being a living
preachment against remodeling. There
never was house so horrible in de-
sign that with little careful study.
plus the knowing how. could not be be
improved and made presentabie; at
least to the extent of not being Of
fensive to the trained eye.
Called "Jigsaw Architecture"
Could any one imagine a more unsat-
isfactory type of architecture as a
problem for remodeling than the old
Eastlake style. 1t was of the vintage
of 1876, and might well be called Jig
saw architecture without doing 1t the
slightest injustice. The only redeem
ing feature about this period Of archi-
lecture was the houses were usually
built for comfort. the rooms were fair
ly large. and, with the thought in
mind that the family might some day
grow in size, there were enough rooms
to accommodate a large family.
Its interior architecture was by no
means thing of beauty. It's grotesque
mantel designs, it's heavy stairway de-
tail and the grill work at the top of
large openings were all freely used,
and the shame of it was that they were
all well constructed and by no means
inexpensive. The designer. however,
played no favorites. and his exteriors
were no better than his interiors.
While there are quite a few houses
of this period of architecture still in
existence in the old suburban sections,
we may feel thankful that it had no
effect upon our modern suburban
house.
