The poor heat from the use of a gas range is very mild. With such a stove wrapped with three layers of asbestos paper there should be no danger from fire. On the second floor have at least one large bedroom that may be the one an unusual sitting room in day time. The other rooms may be smaller, and if well arranged they will be entirely practical. Such closets are necessary of course but it is well to remember that closets too large are not desirable. It is possible to waste space in generous closets, space that could be used to better purposes elsewhere. Nowadays clothing is usually hung on wire supporters attached to hooks over a pole, and this rather is satisfactory enough much in order than which the air injured with linen from the net let in a harm. If the dust is to the height in any to fold clothes still to the principal bedroom on shelves instead of keeping it in drawers. It is also convenient to get from underneath when it is stored in drawer. Most small houses are built without an attic, or at best simply a rough attic the room which may be after made finished. While room is desired in the attic it is a good plan to have a gable roof so that one may get height and air windows in the gable ends.
