The well planned entrance hall is short; its construction cost is the living room or bedrooms. As a result, one should avoid need- less expense for a long hall.

But why a bathroom and the kitchen also be handy to it? A bathroom near the entrance hall means that children coming from play can reach the bath without tracking through the house. If the kitchen opens off it the housewife can reach the front door easily and quickly and save herself many steps daily. manville, is visiting her sister, Mrs. M. Tabb and Mr. Tabb.
