A simple cased opening is much to be pre ferred, or If some dignity Is desired. It looks well to place on .each side of the opening a neat column of the Ionic order of architecture, extending either from the floor or a podeBtal to the top of the open ing. There should always be a light In all entrance doors, not only that one may see whom they are going to admit, but placing a glass in the door makes It serve as an other window. Question Can you give some advice on the proper grouping of windows? Where Is art glnss appropriate? Answer Very few people give serious consideration to the design and location of the wind's. Windows should be, 'located with reference to the wall space wlthtn and the exterior design of the house. To obtain a successful arrangement both In side an out, sometimes, presents difficult problems, which only a man of considerable practical experience can solve. This is why the windows are placed In the exterior of homes In aifch a haphazard manner, with no apparent effort to keep them In har mony with each other, or to obtain a well ..balanced symmetrical design. Nvjndows on the second floor should, when possible, be placed directly over the windows on the first floor. When this Is not poflslble, then they should be placed : over the center of the spaces between wln ' 4ows on the first floor. A window on the1 second floor lapping half one side of a ; window on the first floor always looks ungainly. Windows should never be too narrow or too tall. A window throe feet wide and five feet high, with a sUl two feet from the floor Is a well proportioned window and when this slse Is adopted It would be best to use It through out the house, making all the windows the same size, with the possible exception of the bath room window and the front par lor window. By placing windows In groups of two or three, a very pleasing appearance can often be obtained, which breaks away BAILEY 2& MACH DENTISTS Beat equipped Dental offloe In the middle weal Rlghest grade Dentistry at Reasonable Prices.

A very pretty group, known aa the Palladlan window (so called because of Its similarity to a group of wlndowa de signed by the famous Italian architect known by that name) Is composed of one large window about four and a half feet wide In the-center, with two narrow wln dowa joining It on each side and either a semi-ctrcular window or an, elliptical win dow over all three, the latter having a leaded glass design in It. . This makes a very handsome group when properly de signed und located. It 'iooks especially well upon a broad stairway' landing where it can be seen to good effect from the hall. Art glass can often be used In a window of this character, but here there Is danger. Art glass, when properly designed and studied, with reference -to the other decora tions of the room and Its relation to the sun, gives a very rich and handsome ef fect, but when colore are used In It that do not blend or harmonize with the wall paper, ruga and general decorations of the room, or where very bright glaaa la used on the sunny side of the bouse, the effect la not pleasing to contemplate. The colored light which radiates from an art glaaa window becomes just aa much a part of the color scheme of that room aa Its wall decorations; In fact, has much to do with giving a 1 roner hue to the latter. Question Can you give me a few pointers on the planning of bath. rooms In your Bee articles? Answer This Is probably one of the most 111 treated rooms in a house. It is always crowded In aa though It were an after con sideration. . Of course, In a very small home, a small bath room la entirely ex cusable, for the space is valuable for other purposes, but In a large home. It la very desirable to have, a good-sized bath room, with plenty of room between the fixtures. It Is a very good plan to place a couple of thicknesses of oiled paper well lapped be tween floors of a bath room. This reason is obvloua. A tiled floor, of course, Is very desirable, but this cannot always be In cluded on account of the expense. There should always be a wainscoting In the bathroom at least four feet high, but not of wood, for wood wainscoting In kitchens and in bath rooms are' far from sanitary, by using a hard cement plaster and paint ing It several coats of white enamel marked off In the shape of oblong tile, a very neat and durable walnscoatlng Is obtained. Nickel plumbing can be obtained for about the same price aa the old style lead plumb ing and It looks far neater. It la, there fore, to be preferred.

Renfrew, 1112 North Sevententh street, "that your room era don't ateal your silverware and skip during the night."
