It Is being supplanted by livable and attractive^ quarters. As new houses are constructed with an eye to utIMzIng every possible foot of space, the basement becomes one of the most popular parts of the whole house. In summer it is cooler than the upstairs sections and in winter, because of the location of the heater, the basement is always comfortably warm. That it is set off somewhat from the rest of the house makee It suitable for the children's playroom or for a special retreat for the man who wants room in which to keep it work bench and tools or Indulge In some hobby that does not ln-ook interruption by the rest of the family. Even where the furnace is a coal burner, part of the basement may be salvaged for room space if it Is separated from the furnace and Coal bins Ijj dust-proof doors protected with weather stripping. A certain 'basement storeroom, dust laden and cluttered with broken furniture and cast off odds and ends, was reclaimed as. a playroom by sealing It from the furnace part and providing it with a separate entrance. The steps leading down to the new entrance door of glass were painted with untinted white-lead paint to increase the reflected light in the room. The treads of the steps were painted a darker tone that would not readily show wear. The deep window casements were- also painted with white paint To add further to the lightness of the room, the celling was painted a yellow just off the white and the walls were given a coating of plastic white-lead paint In a pale green color In the vein relief effect Plastic paint was chosen because the slightly roughened surface was more in keeping with the character of the room than a smooth finish and less likely to show scars and marks of play.
