have any cuts or sketches of such a 
kennel, I would appreciate it if you 
would forward same to me.

any information regarding same, can you 
refer me to someone who is ?

In a general way I should say that 
any building constructed for kennel 
use should be quite simple and very 
easy to keep clean. None but toy 
dogs should be coddled and kept in 
a place artificially heated. The best 
simple single kennels I have used have 
been water-tight barrels, placed on a 
board flooring with the entrance through 
one head. In a forthcoming number 
we shall treat on this subject in detail. 
STABLE PLANS 
Faribault, Minn. 
Can you tell me of any architects’ 
publication giving plans ol stables r I 
do not know to whom to write for this, 
and as you have a Stable and Kennel 
Department in your magazine, you may 
be able to give me the desired informa¬ 
tion. E. Whipple. 
We printed plans of stables in the 
December, 1907, number of House and 
Garden. There are several books on 
the subject but probably that of Byng 
Giraud, an English publication, would 
be most useful. “The Architectural 
Review” of Boston published a special 
edition devoted to “Stables and Farm 
Buildings” some time ago, but we fear 
it is out of print.

will not be racked by long drives in the 
country, although it is unsuited for any¬ 
thing in the nature of touring. It is 
perfectly feasible for the mistress to 
drive ten or fifteen miles into the city in 
it, make a shopping excursion among the 
big stores and return home in an after¬ 
noon. It is an ideal car for taking the 
small children to and from school in 
stormy weather, and when open is as 
comfortable as a victoria for long evening
