House and Garden 
VIEW FROM THE SOUTH-EAST 
woodwork is painted, and 
the finish of the second 
storey bedrooms is painted 
pine. 
In the arrangement of the 
plans, a spacious regard is 
shown for the comforts and 
exigencies of suburban life; 
the main and secondary 
axes are treated with due 
consideration, and the rela¬ 
tion of the service to the 
family rooms is especially 
commendable. We hope to 
show in a subsequent issue 
SECOND FLOOR PLAN 
illustrations of the principal liv¬ 
ing rooms. 
The plan of the second floor 
is developed strictly on the lines 
of the best American practice, 
which is so far in advance of 
present European usage. Noth¬ 
ing strikes an American more 
unfavorably in the best houses, 
even in England, than the imper¬ 
fectly developed relation between 
the bedroom and the bath and 
dressing-rooms.
