The kitchen is in the rear of the dining room, with a serving pantry between. This pantry is n special feature of the house in that its position and equipment make it a very decided aid in carrying on the work in this part of the dwelling. A table situated below the pantry win dow. where plenty of light is always provided to assist the housewife in the preparation of table delicacies.

A further point of interest to the housewife is the attractive rear porch, which is so designed that il may be used as an annex to the kitchen when weather conditions per init.

BEDROOMS ON SECOND FLOOR
Arrangement Is Intended to Meet the Desires of All Members of the Far,ily-External Appear

On account of his wide experience as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he is. without doubt. the highest authority on all these subjects Address all inquiries to William A.

 Houses of the Story-and-a- half type are being built very extensively by those who are inclined toward the bun ealow style of architecture, but who do not wish to sacrifice the second story bedrooms. In this type they are still able to get much of the distinc- tive external beauty of the bungalow, yet they may easily have ample room for sleeping accommodations on the second floor. For those who do not object to the first-fioor bedroom, and who do not like the inconvenience of climbing stairs. there is usually in- cluded in the design of such house a single bedroom on the first floor. With such an arrangement it is possible to meet the desires Of every member of the family.
 The artistic detail which may be in- cluded in the external design of the story-and-a-half house cannot help but furnish satisfaction to any ordinary taste. The low. broad lines common to the architecture of our western coast may be had in many distinctly attractive forms. The design is easily modified to please those who are not so strongly impressed with the popular desire for western types. This fieXi- Dility in the external style, taken to- gether with the many conveniences and pleasing possibilities of the in- terior design. have earned this modi- fled type of house a just popularity.
 A particularly interesting example is Illustrated here. It is house of suffi- cient size to accommodate the average

many articles stored for use in the kitchen.
 The second floor contains three bed rooms and a bathroom opening from the hall, all being independent of one another. The front and back bedrooms are built into formers. A double glass door opens from the front room leading to the open balcony, which Is not only a pleasant feature of itself, but is also very effective in improving the gen erai well-balanced appearance of the front of the house. The third bed room and the bathroom are built into the tables on either side of the hall. Each dormer bedroom has a large closet and the gable bedroom has two closets. A spacious trunkroom which may be used also for a general storage room is provided. A closet with shelves, next to the trunkroom on the hall, provides a place for the clean linen and other articles needed on the second floor. The bathroom is large and well arranged. Here again is pro- yided the chute to the laundry room. which proves 10 be an indispensable feature in Tightening the housework.
 The external appearance of this house Is more than commonly attrac- tive. Special attention has been paid 10 detail in the window arrangement on the front part of the house, and result which is distinctly artistic has been obtained. The long, narrow pan els on each side of the three front entrances, with the small panes of glass in all windows and doors, the neat railings on both the porch and the balcony above, and the wide expanse of porch unbroken across the entire width of the house, are all blended with the exposed rafters of the main roof and the dormer roof 10 produce a very pleasing house front. This ef- feet Is not lost in viewing the house from any angle, there being something to attract attention no matter what view is taken.
 It seems safe 10 predict that the fu- ture will find the story-and-a-half house coming more and more into prominence. both from it's many possi. bilites of exterior design and from ...s special adaptability to convenie1' interior arrangement

Entrance may be made to this room through the French doors opening from the front porch. A door at the rear of the living room opens into the only bedroom on the first floor. This bedroom is of generous proportions and is furnished with closet having built-in shelves. The room is lighted from three windows in the bay and one in the rear.
