Stowaway Dining Rooms.

1t takes an art to live in one of the
new two or three rooms and bath
apartments or a wee bungalow that
boasts no dining room. Though your
less ingenious neighbors thus reduced
to a two or three room menage might
solve the problem by taking breakfasts
at the kitchen table. luncheons stand
ing by the ice box and dinners out
you know that this is not necessary.
You can manage quite nicely to turn
the living room into a dining room. In
fact, so much does the informality of
this sort of menage appeal to you that
ty feet by eighteen and a living room
eighteen feet by twenty you would
rather have one room of rather lavish
proportions and call it a living room,
and there. with infinite attention to the
small details that make this sort OF
than a pain, breakfast. lunch and sup.
For 1t really can be done.
When your space is limited why de-
vote one room to china closets and
serving tables and buffets. stiff chairs
and dining tables? One might think
that a quarter Of our time was spent
feeding when we devote one of our
three rooms to a dining room. Side
boards and serving tables were invent
ed for folk who had buffers and foot
men under the butler. And II we have
only a half-time maid or perhaps none
at all, why should we so indulge our
futile aspirations toward having but
lers and footmen and things?
Nowadays one can buy round table
tops that fold away very neatly when
not in use. They can be fastened quite
securely to the top of a table. With
such a top you can give quite spread
in your contracted abode. And when
the feast is over it can be withdrawn as
speedily as it was spread. Instead of
the guests withdrawing-or going to
the drawing room-the feast does the
withdrawing.
In one studio apartment where one
large living room does service for, the
full quota OF drawing rooms ana din
ing room the table is always spread in
one coxy corner OF the room. Against
the wallis arranged q fairly long cush-
toned seat-hfgh enough to serve as a
bench for the dining table when It is
drawn up. Above this built-in seat Is

most to the ceiling. One gets the top
ones down by stepping on the seat
Then there is a rather narrow black
painted table that stands in front of
this seat. one end touching the wall.
An electric plug In the floor below
makes possible low light that stands
on the table. 1t is an ideal corner for
reading. but 1t is in reality the dining
room part of the room. For there is a
large, old-fashioned settee long enough
for two, that can be drawn up to the
opposite Of the table, thus making a
little stall-shaped dining compartment
for four. With chair placed at the end
of the table five can sit down quite con-
veniently-and in this menage five is
the maximum number of guests pos
sible.
