Mr.. and Mrs. Michel's new home con-
we'll worthy of publicity.
The exterior is very pleasing and
also very safe as far as fire might be
concerned. The roof is covered with
asbestos sanded shingles, green in
color, shading into brown on the sides.
The basement inside the house extends

heating plant is located in the base
ment and is said to give admirable
services. On the main floor is large
hall, living room with beamed oak
ceilings, a dining room with a built

AN OLD HOME REMODELLED.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Knapp's, Jr. Old
New House on the Colonial Style.

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Knapp, Jr.,
have been busy for the past several
months perfecting the details of their
new home on South Monroe street,
livedi for many years by Mr..
Knapp's great-grandmother Mrs. j.
c. Cover. The house has under
gone a thorough remodelling, and
while it is spick and span in every
respect, has all the atmosphere of an
old home.
The main door opens into large
hall finished in gold and cream of a
medium stripe and Colonial staircase
with white spindles and mahogany
rail and steps.
The living room opens left of the
hall and extends across the house.
The walls are decorated in green bur-
lap with ivory enamel woodwork. A
feature of the living room is the
large butter bowl" fixtures hung by
silver chains. The white effect is
carried into the furniture with the
piano refinished in white enamel and
having electric sidelights with frost
ed bulbs. All the floors downstairs
are of quartered oak. George Sykes,
who did most of the interior decorat-
ing, feels very proud of the frieze eff
feet in the library where a woodland
and autumn scene in washable paper
lends cheer to the room.
The kitchen floor is covered with
blue inlaid linoleum, the walls and
ceiling being finished in white. A
wall closet and large pantry adds to
the convenience of the culinary de-
partment.
The basement is finished with a ce-
ment floor pitched toward the drains
and contains a laundry with suitable
fixtures, electric washer and water
connections. Atmospheric vapor is
the heating system used and Mr.
Knapp finds it very satisfactory.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, bath
room, a nursery and store room. The
nursery is decorated with five sections
of nursery prints showing various
scenes from Mother Gooseland. The
woodwork is finished in gray enamel
and this with the indirect lighting,
prevents any excessive glare. Gray
and rose colors are used in the paper
ing of the two big bedrooms, the
bathroom being finished in white en-
amel.
The interior decorations were done
by George Sykes, and Robert BROKER
was the carpenter who handled the
woodwork throughout. Eugene Brook
er did the water plumbing, and JOS.
Ivey installed the heating plant, and
the firm of Orion & Williams, all the
electric wiring.

TOWN HOME IN THE COUNTRY.
John Mcmahon Erects Dandy Bunga-
low On His BeetOWn Road Property.

BeetOwn road has many nice resi-
dences on it that vie with any in Lam
caster and not the least of these is
the seven room bungalow recently

acre place opposite the property re-
Gently sold to Lewis Bendorf. Mr.. Nc
Mahon takes special pride in the heat
ing plant consisting of Mueller hot
air furnace and electric regulating de-
vices. The thermometer and thermos-
tat are located in the dining room and
just below in the basement is an iron
box containing the solenoids for oper-
ating the chains. The device is known
as the Honeywell Electric Heat Reg
ulator," and it shifts the chains con-
trolling the chimney pipe and draft
door accordingly as the temperature
rises and falls from the average
of 20 degrees. This little machine al
so obligingly keeps the house at 60
degrees during the night, at $3.50 in

o'clock or Sc the house is as warm as
toast.
A cooling cellar is handy feature
of the basement where fruits, veget-
ables and whatnot may be kept at an
even temperature. Then there is a
"V-K' water motor that pumps soft
water into the laundry pipes and
through the furnace so that Mrs. Nc
Mahon always has hot soft water for
any purpose.

a bevelled glass door and a handy
built-in clothespress with full length
