The house contains ten rUoms and

many persons. Five Of the bedrooms
are on the second floor and one on
the first floor.

every convenience is provided for.
Beside the door leading to the dining
room is the sink. Adjoining 1t and
running around the full length of
the outside wall and part of the rear
wall Is a work table. On either side
of the window Is a wall case. Thus
does the kitchen worker have every
thing needed at hand. on the kitch-

also equipped with, work table and
shelves. Here is located the ice chest,

Another door from the kitchen
leads to the rear hall. Here are the
back stairs, toilet, and washrOOm,
with plumbing fixtures. The entrance
to the washroom is from the back
porch, liz by 9 feet.
Thus 1t will be seen that a person
can come In at the rear door, wash,
and go either upstairs, or to the

declared Miss Amanda, hugglng the

"Why, IL"
Carolyn May was for once beyond
