methods must be resorted to.
Assuming that th walla and floor are

the first floor Is high off the ground thla
Is an easy thing to accomplish. Placing
a home high off of the ground seldom
looks well, and is decidedly out of keep
ing with homes In the bungalow, crafts
man or mission styles now used to such
an extent, these styles calling for an ef
fect as low and broad as possible.
When the building stands low. light and
air can be provided In the basement la
abundance by the use of area windows.
An area window Is a regular sliding sash
window, set with the greater part ot It
below the grade, the ton of the window

company then ngaged la the production
ot a film entitled "Th Uncanny Scot.-
Th work commenced outeld of a cigar
store aad each seen was most cart fully
rehearsed. A youthful actor as aa errand
boy aba was engaged In opening the
shop brought from It a dummy Scotsman
In the act of taking snuff and placed It
la position at th shop door. At this
point th stag manager, who waa con
ducting the operations, blew a whistle,
and Instantly the boy remained motion
less and the modus operandi of th first
trick waa revealed.
Th oompany understood by th whistle
that they were to ceass th slightest
movement and th photographer that ho
must Instantly stop th camera.
Th dummy of th Scotsman was now
removed and aa actor Identically dressed
waa arranged In precisely the aam posi
tion. Th whlstl went again and the
boy resumed bis work. When next pass
ing the Bootsmaa h received a kick from
him, which caused him to bolt Into the
shop la terror. Th whlstl now sounded
again, and a further substitution ot
dummy for man waa mad by th stage
hands. An actor tobacconist cam out of
th shop, and th boy explained what had
happened, but was dumfounded when
th master turned th ftgur upside down
and thus showed It to be lifeless, Ths
seen proceeded, with many stops and
changes from tho live Boots man to the

A llttl careful planning can always ac
complish this. la buagsJowa th bath
room la Sometimes placed la the base
ment. It is getting to be quite a popular
thing for a home to have a den, a place
ta which one can read or write In seclu
sion, or or averse ea private matters,
where they will not be disturbed by
the servants or members ot the family,
and mere particularly the smaller chil
dren. One man wise has built forty
seven homes decided 4 hat instead of tak
ing up .valuable space on the first floor
for this purpose, suiting It necessary to
Increase th six of hua bouse to a con
siderable extent in enfcr to accomplish
it, that he would have even greater se
clusion If the room were plsced In the
basement. This room was located by
the architect In one eorrser directly con
nected with the stairway,, where a fire
place could be provided . in It directly
under the fireplace In tlse living room
above. The stair was connected with
the hall and waa Just aa good tu every
way as the stair leading to the second
story. This basement den had plenty
ot light and even in. the winter time could
be well ventilated by the fireplace, v
Extra rooms for the servants are some
times provided In the basement. A base
ment is a splendid place for a billiard
room, which can usually be provided
directly under and of the tame size as
the living room. When there are boys
In the family athletically Inclined" the
bas-Hnent Is a good place for a gym
nasium. Thla room can alto be used aa
a hanging space for clothes during Inclem
ent weather. A large room in the base
ment fitted up for the pastime which
boys enjoy helps mor than oral Influence
to keep them off the streets evenings
during the Impressionable age. A dark
corner can always be found in the base
ment with running water and an outside
window contalnlg ruby glass for amateur
photography.
In Urge homes a large part ot the
basement Is sometimes left In one good
ataed room, provided with a good dancing
floor for dandng, and when a email
stags Is provided amateur theatricals can
be put on.' , . ,
There are. of course, other thing for
which a basement can be used, but the
foregoing la sufficient to call attention
to the fact that tho basement I of mora
value than many people reeltx and
whether It I a dusty, musty, damp.
dirty place or a clean, dry, well venti
lated and vfeii lighted place, suitable for
moat any room, dependa entirely upon
how It la built, finished off and taken
car of. Tho spaco la thera In every
home end when needed parts of It can
be finished oft and mads valuabl addi
tions to th homo for living purpose.
