The modern home should have
two or more bathrooms. This Is not
exactly a necessity, but without at
least one extra bath, the modern
home is handicapped. Frequently in
the old-fash.oned house you may
be fortunate enough to own. there
is a very large clothespresS. a very
small room, or the end OF a spacious
hall adjoining the bedroom. This
space can usually be converted into
a small private bath without very
great expense, aside from the
plumbing. The walls can be boarded
