entertain comforta- 
bly a very much 
larger number oft 
people than general- 
ly accommodated in 
the ordinary house 
of this size. 
The living-room 
is treated with an 
ivory-white painted 
trim, while the walls 
are treated in a soft 
yellow tone blend-

and well-fitted clos-

room. The last 
is furnished with 
porcelain _ fixtures 
and _nickelplated 
plumbing. The va-

treated with a par-

scheme with white 
painted trim in all 
rooms. One of the 
front rooms has an 
open fireplace, with 
brick facings and 
hearth. 
The house stands 
as an example of an 
extremely small and 
modest home, 
which has, by virtue 
of its extreme sim-

distinction than any 
of its much more
