and back through a hall to the toilet.
The hall has space provided for coats.
The living room occupies the entire
end Of the house on n side of the
reception hall. The fireplace is built
into the center of the wall opposite
the hall. This room has two easement
windows at each end and two windows
on the side. The dining room is on
the other side of the hall. A buffet is
built under the window in the front
wall of the house. Arrangements for
serving meals are especially well han
died, since the dining room may be en-
tered from both the kitchen and the
pantry. Thu latter room is a model of
convenience. A wide shelf is built ur-
der the window with a case on either
side. The refrigerator, which is iced
from the real porch, is handy to this
shelf.

a bath open from the hall on the sec.

inches wide by four inches long. Place
on each piece a strip of thin bacon and
a tablespoonful of chopped mushrooms.

Improvement in illumination.

Nearly every year has brought out
a better, and at the same time a cheap
er form of light. Nobody knows when
experiments in electrical illumination
will be terminated, or when some I'm.
known form Of light may be brought
into use. The Museum chronological
exhibit at Washington goes as far
as the simple carbon flament
light, but In the division of mechanical
technology in the older building there
are many interesting examples Of early
electric lamps and lighting apparatus
together with later improvements
showing the many phases Of develop
ment in the art of illumination.

USEFUL OVER KITCHEN SINK
Found of Value in a Number
Of Ways.

Get an inexpensive medicine cabi-
net and hang it over the sink. In it
keep securing powders, silver polish,
ammonia, brushes and the things nee
essary for dish-washing and cleaning
but which are unsightly. Every wom-
an likes to glance into a handy mirror
also before she answers unexpected
rings of the bell, so the cabinet serves
two purposes.
A special economic device is to apply
a piece of rubber hose n and one
half inches long to both hot and cold
water faucets in the kitchen sink. This
prevents a chance bump against the
metal faucet breaking or chipping
dishes. 1t will save many n piece of
china from the unsightly and expen-
sive hicks which SO often occur and
are so disliked by good housekeepers,

the best possible effect in the appear
ance of the houses built on the narrow
lots. OF course, 1t will be necessary
to design these houses with the larger
dimension across the front. This often
helps the room arrangement rather
than causing difficulty in grouping OF
rooms- AS far as the exterior appear
ance is concerned, there is an adj
vantage in the wider side of the houses
being placed near the street, in that
many pleasing effects are possible in
the window and porch design, and the
wall finish is more effective than in the
case of a smaller wall surface. An
other advantage of this type of house
is found in the possibility Of artistic
and distinctive roof treatment.
The building line should, Of course,
be maintained in accordance with that
which is established by the majority of

the property into lots Is carried to the
apex of the triangle with a lot on each
street as the final division, each of the
houses on these lots should be designed
in the n of q house which is to
face on two streets. This division Of
loss is often preferred to the division
which places a single lot at the apex,
on account of the fact that the last

three sides to public view, and Incl

case these developments are brought

The remaining small triangle which
cannot be used for residence purposes
is an excellent spot for the city or town
to take rp and improve with shrubbery,

crete or stone work. The Frightening
effect which these little beauty spots
have In owns and cities Is attested to
by any .iumber Of examples of this
