the morning sun floods in at breakfast 
time, while the doorway, directly in line 
with one of the French windows in the gal¬ 
lery, commands a wide view down the hill 
and over the meadow to the west. In pan¬ 
try and kitchen the sinks and range are 
well placed near windows, so that abun¬ 
dant light falls on them from the right di¬ 
rection. Beside the larder is a porch for 
the servants. 
Before going to the second floor a word 
must be said about the master’s little study. 
As the floor plan indicates, it is beside the 
vestibule at the end of the gallery and 
quite away from the rest of the house, so 
as to ensure absolute privacy and quiet 
when desired. It has an abundance of 
windows with a pleasant outlook, a fire¬ 
place, and the floor is paved with brick. 
The brick paving here and the tile paving 
in vestibule and gallery along with the 
broad tiled hearth in the living-room and 
the large stone-paved bow window, intro¬ 
duce a note in flooring considerations that 
is worth special heed. Common usage has 
so accustomed 11s to wooden floors all over 
the house that we go on putting them down 
from force of habit without stopping to 
think how much improvement might be 
made in various places from sanitary, 
decorative and economical points of view 
by using some other material. 
One feature about this house that will 
strongly appeal to all housekeepers is that 
both up-stairs and down there is plenty of 
closet room. The bedrooms are all well 
lighted and ventilated and all have fire¬ 
places. The room at the northeast cor¬ 
ner, marked as a bedroom, is really a sew¬ 
ing room, and is the only exception to the 
rule of fireplaces. The plan of the second 
floor is worth a little special attention just 
to realize the ample provision for closets 
and see how it was made. The third floor, 
of which no plan is given, has three ser¬ 
vants’ bedrooms and a bath. 
Like every other house, “Wee House” 
has its drawbacks and shortcomings. What 
house has not? Its many excellences so 
far outweigh its failures, however, that 
one feels quite justified in yielding it large 
meed of praise. The simplicity and 
straightforwardness of its plan are ad¬ 
mirable, and it has achieved comfort com¬ 
bined with modest dignity and distinction. 
Christmas was made for kiddies, and 
you can do no better at that season than 
have the kiddies’ interest in mind. That’s 
why you’ll be interested in the article on 
furnishing the kiddies’ quarters in the De¬ 
cember House and Garden. 
Good goods come in little packages— 
and the cocker is certainly a little pack¬ 
age. The sort of package to open on 
Christmas morning. Read “The Merry 
Little Cocker” in the Giristmas House 
and Garden.
