usually figures q small percentage Of

probably be: plan house which is

the owner more satisfaction than he
could obtain from the slightly larger

Another thing which home builders
should think about is the expense of
finishing and furnishing the new
house. 1t IS largely through the effect
OF these items that the house is trans

lures of exterior design.
A small veStibule is entered from the
porch, and this leads into the hall
from which the various rooms of the
first floor and the stairs TO the second
floor are reached. The large living
room has fireplace set into one cor
ner. -Four windows are built into the
side wall Of the house in this room. and
one large window is placed at the
front. The living room is always a
pleasure room in which the fireplace is
set into one corner, but it is seldom
that this is possible without interfer-
Ing with the arrangement of some 9TH
er part of the house.
The dining room is in the rear of the
living room. The buffet is built against
the rear wall with a wide window
above it. Four windows occupy the
side wall In this room, similar TO the
arrangement in the living room. A
hall leads past the pantry to the kitch-

door to the rear porch and the pantry,
Tor the Kitchen stove. The pantry is

the pantry and is iced from the rear

also placed on the first floor.
Two bedrooms, bath and a stor-
age room occupy the second floor. A
long hall extends parallel to the stair

Sary privacy to the sleeping rooms.
