Eating on The porch is still further
connived at by direct connection with
the kitchen and the fact the house is
so compact mxid isn't at all qeces-
sary Being now. IN the Kitchen, our
only regret Is thai We didn't inspectsit
first. It is light, three windows on
two sides and doors besides, making
roomy and clean. The range space ad-
mits any style range: A dresser and
cabinet are near by.g The top Of the
laundry tubs makes an additional table
space for the play-work.
The connecting entry we come
through has shelves 10 the ceiling like
pantry and very convenient, except
where the refrigerator stands, and this
is iced from the outside-ths modern
way. There is still another store closet
"a big onewhich takes care OF clothes
basket and other hard-to-concealables.
The kitchen communicates with the
cellar, the living room (where there is
still another closet) and the dining room.
In the dining room is fireplace and
mantel of excellent design. The fire.

most cheerful sort Of way. All Ares
in the house use but the one chimney

in the exterior. Each Are, Of course,
has its separate due. Dining room,
living room, kitchen and every bed
room in the house enjoy cross ven
tilation. Small houses seldom secure
this.
Details Of Second Floor
The second story is reached by. the
staircase we saw as we entered and
which is an agreeable decoration on
one wall of the dining room. 1t cons
tains four bedrooms, two large. and
two larger, for it is not size, meaning
square footage, which makes large
bedroom 1t is study; and here the
architect, by carefully considering fu-.
ture intentions, so arranged his doors
and other openings that each room
holds full size bed, accessible from
three sides, usual wall furniture and
has space to spare for chairs, bedside
table and the rest. Numerous electric
receptacles, sometimes called "conven-
ience receptacles" attest more study,
and are ready for portable lamps, heat
ing pad, curler, etc. Of closets there
is one apiece around and another in
the hall for good measure and spare
bed things.
Baths are pretty much the same in
recent years. This one has usual fix
lures, open plumbing, and is dainty,
inviting place, especially when COM
pared with the careless things in most
apartment houses.
I The cellar has the heating plant, coal
storage and room enough left for
cold room and so on, including the
boys workshop for dad to monopolize.
The house requires q plot at least
fifty, better 100 feet wide, either level
or leveled with terrace. 1t sets we'll
among trees or without them, needing
only small amount of miscellaneous
planting few evergreenss for winter
effect mixed with ideciduous bushes and
shrubs. Avoid "specimen'' plants here.
The fnongrels, the half winter killed,
cost less, and around this Colonial
form house are much more appropriate.
Ivy or Virginia creeper wistaria if
you can afford twill fall in love with
the chimney and trellises and-well,
who wouldn't love such ! castle as this
anyhow?
