extra fuel are stored in the cellar, whence they are delivered by a dumb 

 waiter, or lift. The reader will doubtless enjoy studying at leisure the 

 lesser details of this plan. 



If for special reasons of convenience a kitchen and dining-room com- 

 bination is desired, such an arrangement as is shown in Fig. 69 will prove 

 convenient. The kitchen fixtures are here condensed and arranged in an 

 alcove, while the dining-room occupies the opposite end of the central 

 section of the plan. Excellent cross-ventilation is here provided. A 

 large kitchen that must be used also for meals may sometimes be rearranged

 Fig. 70. — Plan in which principles of kitchen-planning are clearly expressed 



in a similar way. The kitchen fittings may be shifted to that part of the 

 room where stove or range must necessarily remain, while dining-room 

 table and chairs may be grouped on the other side or end, perhaps with 

 a china closet halfway between. 



The purpose of a washroom is to save the other parts of the4iouse. Here 

 all dirty and occasional forms of work may be done. The room is equipped 

 for the family washing and ironing, and stores such general cleaning 

 apparatus as brooms, pails, and vacuum cleaner. Here, also, men coming 

 from the barn may remove muddy boots and overalls, and may clean up 

 before going to the table. Such feeding pails for stock as are brought 

 to the house should be deposited here, not taken into the kitchen.
