 striping are covered with a dull green bur- 

 lap, while the walls above the plate rack,

 bay window with window seats. The win- 

 dows are hung with soft white lace net cur- 

 tains. The fireplace, which is in one corner, 

 is built of brick with facings and hearth of 

 similar brick, and the whole finished with a 

 Colonial mantel. A small china closet, with 

 latticed door, completes the room. A door 

 opens into the butler's pantry, fitted with 

 sink, drawers and dressers. A second door 

 opens into the kitchen, while a broad opening 

 into the laundry creates one large apartment, 



both of which are furnished with 

 modern conveniences. The second
