Clausen, Architect, There Is always an indescribable charm about a home built for two. its modest proportions always allow for a picturesque treatment at little expense and the fuct that we Invariably associate a home of this size with a young couple just starting out In married life seems to place around It a halo of romance. "Love In a cottage" never meant a large house. There are sev eral good practical reasons for a young couple desiring a homo of modest size at the start besides the purely sentimental side. In the first place the bank account Is seldom of sufficient size to warrant the. building of a large home. In fact, most young couples build their first homes on the Installment plan with the assistance of soma Interested friend or a home building association. Another good reason is, that no matter how Industrious a girl has been before her wedding slio seldom knows through actual experience what the entire responsibility of caring for a home Is and it Is therefore quite natural that she should approach this responsibility with sopie ap prehension and desire to start housekecp- THE BEE'S PLAN OFFER Through a special arrangement with Mr. ClauBen, The Omaha Bee is able to olfer its readers the complete plana details and specifications of the hum illustrated on this page without change lor iio.

The arrangement of all the rooms on one floor and of limited number, therefore, appeals to her because of the constant saving of steps and house work. Last, far from least, a young couple never needs a great amount of space In the way of bedrooms, parlors, reception halls, etc. At this time of life their friends are few and the social life of tho home need not be considered as seriously as In future years. The family, of course, (at the start) is only two, but this number can not always be depended upon as being the permanent arrangement of the family group. According to our esteemed president, it should in time con sist of not less than eight members, all nose, counted. Of cour.e, the exact num ber will vary and then, too, aunts, uncles, parents or grgndparenta may Join the family circle In later years, but the little home for two will serve the family's noeds nicely for five or six years, when It can bo disposed of for a larger and more Im posing home. If there Is to be but one bed room, a davenport In the parlor (with per haps a cradle In the bedroom) will serve the family's needs for some time. Little homes for two or three are nt t always occupied by young married couples. It often happens that two business womci LjrJfc.

A mother and daughter, the latter working out and furnishing tho means of support, always look to the little homo for two as Just their Ideal. Sometimes an old 00111,1,. tiring of the large home they have occupied for years with its many rooms and responsi bilities will seek to keep their "winter love" warm In a little home for two. Just like the first homo "way back east" where they built tho first nest when the building of a home was to them an effort as well as a pleasure. To build a homo of modest proiwrtlons, docs not mean that It should lack any of the comforts or necessities of life to which we have become accustomed. It can con tain sufficient rooms to meet the present needs of the little family, have a heating plant, well equipped kitchen with a gas stove, sink, cupboards, etc., a bathroom, laundry tubs in the basement, and lust, but not least, a good, old-flshioned brick or stone plreplace to send Its glowing cheer throughout the rooms for several months of the year. In fact, in a little home on one floor with the rooms closely assembled a fire In tho grate at morning and even. ing will keep the houso warm during the greater part of the fall and sprlmr when it would be necessary to keep tho heating plant going in a largo house. . , , Ono always expects simp!? tlilnss In 11 eso little homos.
