A Small Country House of 
Ingenious Planning

by this simple device. Of course, care is 
taken to keep the register closed when 
cooking is going on. This can be done 
from the kitchen by a chain, which is at¬ 
tached to the under side of the register. 
The front bedroom is eighteen feet 
long, and is so arranged that it will ac¬ 
commodate a double and single bed, two 
dressers, a table and chairs. It has a 
closet 5 by 7 feet. The smaller room, 
which opens on the upper veranda, has a 
skylight four feet square beside the two 
glass doors. It does duty as a studio 
when not needed for a bedroom. 
The waste places under the roof have 
been utilized and each room and the bath 
has a small door opening into one room. 
Trunks and boxes are stored here. There 
is also a generous attic above, with ven¬ 
tilators at each end, which assist in keep¬ 
ing the bedrooms cool in summer. These 
are closed from the inside in winter. 
A word as to expenses. A city apart¬ 
ment with three sleeping rooms, or a 
bungalow in a desirable location, will rent 
for from $50 upward. We pay, including 
interest on $4,000 expended at 5 
taxes, insurance and fuel, less than $25 
per month. We are two minutes’ walk 
from the trolley, fifteen minutes’ walk 
from the railroad station and fifty min¬ 
utes from New York City. Long Island 
Sound is hardly a mile away, just a 
short boat ride, and the boat lies in the 
river, seventy feet below our garden.

stained and held in place by wrought- 
iron nails with large, rough hand-ham¬ 
mered heads. This use of undressed 
wood for interior finish is one of the 
most successful features of the interior 
treatment, as it gives a feeling that is de¬ 
cidedly camplike and spontaneous. The 
rule adopted in the design of the interior 
was to do nothing that could not be done 
with the ordinary tools of a pioneer 
woodsman and with niaterials that could 
not be obtained at the nearest saw-mill, 
and a plane was taboo. 
This rule was faithfully followed in 
every detail except in connection with 
working parts, such as sash, shelving, 
floors, etc., where sanitation and practi¬ 
cal considerations were of importance. 
Hukweem is an Indian name, meaning 
Loon, and this bird is used in every con¬ 
ceivable way in decorations. 
All the furniture was specially de¬ 
signed and built by Chas. Rholffs, of 
Buffalo, and the loon appears on every 
piece of furniture in one way or an-
