Good Effect.

Establishing efficiency with a view
to simplifying living is the funda-
mental idea behind every house plan
designed to help solve the. servant
problem. The first thought OF the
architect is to evolve a floor plan that
will make housework easy by saving
unnecessary steps and putting each
working feature in practical working
relation TO every other detail of the
house From the convenient floor
plan the exterior of the house is de-
veloped.
The first thought is for the comfort
of the worker. Then when the prac-
tical working arrangements are good,
beauty of exterior will result-be-
cause beauty rests upon necessity"
There must be no waste space in the
efficiency house and it's furniture
should be simple, of the choicest de-
sign and as little of it as possible.
Modern women want no unnecessary
knicknacks TO catch the dust. Wise
Wcmen select q few choice pictures,
but not enough to give the restless
feeling that destroys a sense of
peace. Floors should be of hard wood
and rugs. not carpets, should be used
over them, for rugs can be easily
cleaned. e Every room must be well
ventilated aud the house built of =
material that will not have to be con-
Stantly repaired.
This house was planned to face the
south and to he built on a corner lot,
though it could, of course, be faced
in other directions. The house Is en-
tered through covered porch with
a vestibule, at the right of which is
a coat closet. From the vestibule one
enters the hall, which gives direct
access to the living room, dining
room and kitchen. Beneath the stair
way is a seat which is not only con-
venient, but adds an architectural
note of beauty and charm and gives
the decorator chance to INTRODUCES
color in the pillows.
The first view of the living room is
a cheerful one, for a large fireplace,
cozy seat corners, French doors and
q large group of easement windows
assure light from both sun and fire.
The sun room is entered through a
French door. A small fireplace could
be made there, at the back of the
chimney. if desired.
The arranecment of the dining
room and kitchen is exceptionally
convenient The dining room is light
ed from three sides; there is room in
the corner for a built-in sideboard
If desired.
The kitchen is equipped with 4 sink
and double drain boards, placed di-
rectly beneath the windows and
fanked on either side with dish
closets The upper doors Of the dish
closets should be of glass and the
lower doors of wood. The kitchen
has been planned go that the dishes
can be washed and put back in place
and the food prepared with the least
possible motion The range is in the
corner of the room and beside it is
the place for a table. a large pantry
furnishes abundant room for storing
extra food. The icebox is on the SIDE
nearest the porch, so that it can be
filled from the outside, thus saving
clean floors from the iceman's muddy
tracks.
Upstairs are three large bedrooms,
a bath and an abundance of closet
room. There is a chance for a fire.
