Hardware brings all the comfort 
of grandmother’s outdoor summer 
kitchen to the modern home. AiR- 
JVay equipped windows enable 
you to quickly convert your hot, 
stufify kitchen into a pleasant, 
breezy porch. 
On stormy days and in winter, 
snug-fitting.^i//^-]^/'<7y windows shut 
out rain, wind and cold more effec¬ 
tively than the ordinary double- 
hung window. They’re absolutely 
weather-tight and free from annoy¬ 
ing rattling. 
Don’t think of building 
or remodeling without 
first investigating the 
many advantages of AiR- 
Yet this is only one use for AiR- 
IFay. Because it turns any room 
into a sun parlor or sleeping porch, 
many homes are now planned with 
AiR-IFay Alultifold windows 
throughout. Your comfortable 
bedroom, for example, with its 
cozy warmth and conveniences, may 
instantly be made a private sleeping 
porch at night. AiR-Way windows 
slide and fold inside—no interfer¬ 
ence from either screens or drapes.

BUILDING INGENUITY into the HOUSE

purposes. Such a table might be em¬ 
ployed for the dining alcove just de¬ 
scribed. If the alcove lacks a window, 
it is quite possible to use a folding 
table. But better yet would be its use 
as a serving table in the little dining 
room, or as an additional kitchen table 
to use when baking or preserving or 
other times wdien the w-ork is heavy. 
Such a table might be well placed on 
the kitchen porch for any of the uses 
that suggest themselves, or in the chil¬ 
dren’s room to play on. 
When not in use, a table of this sort 
swings up on a hinge into a shallow 
wall closet. One end of it w’hen used is 
supported by the sill of the closet, and 
the other end rests on a stand or leg 
or pedestal or whatever you like to 
call it. This folds flat against the under 
side of the table when not in use, and 
may be adjusted to rest there by catch 
or hook, although gravity will keep it 
in position parallel with the wall closet 
into W’hich it fits and is attached. 
•An ironing board arrangement may 
be had on the same principle and has 
several advantages. The ironing board is 
always an awkward piece to lift and 
carry, and to store when not in use. 
The built-in type does not need to be 
lifted or carried. It is stored in a shal¬ 
low closet W'hen not in use so that it 
is entirely out of the way and secure. 
It cannot drop or fall and is not exposed 
to dust. When it is wanted, simply open 
the closet and lower the ironing board 
upon its firm hinge, letting down the 
strong, sturdy stand that supports it 
stably and without risk of slipping off 
or away. 
In small houses where the living room 
and dining room are separated only by a 
wide-open doorway, the possibilities of 
built-in furniture again come into play. 
There are many types of colonnades, 
bookshelves and other between-room 
features that may be used in this con¬ 
nection. They may be had in such form 
that bookcases will be on the living 
room side, and cabinet on the dining 
room side, the wood finish to conform 
to that of each room. Both rooms will 
seem larger with this treatment and the 
temperature of the house will be better
