The second vital consideration for bedroom planuing is airiness. When views in several direetions are good the direction of the prevailing hot ‘Weather breezes should largely deter- mine the general aspect of the bedroom wirdows. Every bedroom should have some cross draft, either divect or di- To secure this, rooms not at corners of the house may be situated " in wide bays cr projecting wings. In localities where the winters are long and cold and the summer heat com- paratively brief, a simple and compact rectangular plan is perhaps ideal be- cause it facilitates the heating of the house. Many prospeetive-home builders still cherish the idea that high ceilings in- crease the airiness of hedrooms. This idea, howewer, is nothing shert of a fallacy, for; as a matter of fact, the ceiling height has, under erdinary eir- cumstances, little to do- with the case. 1f7a’ bedroom becomes heated during the day the air it centains abeve the level of the windoav teps (prewided the windows have been opened from the top or, as with casements, are entirely open) remains heated for hours after sundown, retarding instead of acceler- ating the equalizing of indoor and out- Phe roem most quickly coeled in the evening has rath- er low ceilings apd casement ‘Wwindows of gaod height, te imsure a rapid change of air up to, say, seven feet above the fioor. Another essential point, but one very’ frequently neglected or altogether for- gotten, is planning definite spaces for the necessary furniture. Even in the mest. medest bedroom a bed and a ba- reau are to be loeked upen as fixed : THE TINDER BOX (Ceonrtinued frem page 14)_ i ” “Yes, 1 should say that you had hit Evelina’s trouble exaetly on the head, Sailie™ came in Pelk’s dvawl -as: he ‘came over the rese Bedge from the side Btreet and seated himself. beslda Ca.n- lin on the steps:- -‘Well, if I ever have a husbaml he’u prove his nobility -by being competent to make the correct connection’ be- tween the asafetide spoon and his own baby,” was the answer that came with so miich feree that I eouldn’t stop it after I fully realized Pou.’s presence 3nd sex. *Help!” exclaimed Polk Wenkly,while Nell blushed into the feld of her rufile.

If possible the head of the bed should be square against one' wall, with ample free space on” each side. The “catty cornered” arrangement of beds and bureaus, so alluring to cer- tain feminine minds, leaves. a bad cor- ner for the accumulation of dust and in addition gives a restless aspect to a room which, above all others, sheuld be superlatively restful in effect. In a very small room it is, of course, some:’ times impossible to avoid placing the bed squarely in a corner, but there is- ne especial objeetion to this umless the bed be top heavy to move easily when the covers are being changed.

Tor example, a boy’'s room should be so.planned and furnished that it will be a cesy and attractive iplace in which. to entertain ether boys. Besides the bare necessities of bedroomn {furniture, it should have a boekcase, i well lighted desk and streng, comforta- ‘ble lounging ehairs, and yet yield suf- ficient. clear floor space for even an occasional hoxing bout. In a girl’s room there should also be some provi- sion for the oeempant’s-informal ente:- taining of girl friends, and there should ‘be ample wardrobe and dressing con- veniences. The ‘number and charaeter of guest roowms are largedy limited by eonsidera- tions of building cest, hut it is a very humble home indeed which does. nct boast at least one reom readily cop- vertible into a guest reamx. Where guests are but rarely entertained over night it is, of course, useless to set aside for them and keep vacant prok- ably the best bedroom of the entire. house, though this was a religipusly kept custom in all communities un- til recent years. The better plan in a- modest home is to turn over one or two . bedrooms which are in daily use to the guests while one or more members of the household@ shift their quarters temporarily, thus showing quite as hos- pitable a spirit as though a particutarly ‘good room were kept unused the great- er part of the year merely for the ben- efit of an oeccasional visitor. Of servants’ sleeping roems much might be written. Happily, we are at last beginning to realize that servants are human beings, and that, as such, they deserve proper treatment. As a result of this awakening there hag ‘been of recent years. a vast improve- ment made in their sleeping quarters. ‘Macaroni Souffle For Twe.
