each side that their walls meet Fig. 24.
the ceiling under the garret floor, thus excluding all or most of the roof. In the bed chambers, corner dressing-ta bles, as Fig. 24, instead of projecting bureaus, save much space for use, and give a hand some form and finish to the room. In the bath-room must be the opening to the garret, and a step-ladder to reach it. A reservoir in the garret, sup plied by a forcing-pump in the cellar or at the sink, must be well supported by timbers, and the plumbing must be well done, or much annoyance will ensue.
The large chambers are to be lighted by large windows or glazed sliding-doors, opening upon the balcony. A roof can be put over the balcony and its sides inclosed by windows, and the chamber extend into it, and be thus much enlarged. The water-closets must have the latest improvements for safe discharge, and there will be no trouble. They will cost no more than an outdoor building, and they relieve one from the most disagreeable house- labor.
A great improvement, called earth- closets, will probably take the place of water-closets to some extent; though at present the water is the more convenient.
The method of ventilating all the chambers, and also the cellar, will be described in another place.
Fig. 25 represents a shoe-bag, that can be fastened to the side of a closet or closet-door. 7
