lines have been so handled as to
give the low cottage effect of the
old English farmhouse and still
maintain a full second floor.
This is important when consider
ed from the standpoint of economy,
as every effort foot of floor space
represents dollars expended and it
must be used to full advantage. In
other words, the house should have

COLOR IN THE KITCHEN
BY Jane Stewart

It's strange the way we choose to
live in an attractive home, make all
kinds of sacrifice to have one, and
yet neglect its most used room
Even if the kitchen is a workshop
there's no reason for making it look
like one. In fact, if you dress it up,
you can almost forget it is a work
shop.
After all, it's because we relize
that cheerful home makes cheerful
people that we go to such endless
trouble to have one. While you will
quite naturally want the Company
rooms to be the best-not just be-
cause they are the company" rooms
but because here you spend your
leisure-ther's no good reason why
the work" rooms shouldn't be just
as cheerful, and attractive in an in
expensive way.
Color is the magic transformer.

brownish walls and floor, table and
chairs of natural wood which ac-
