THE MAGIC FLAT.
"This is our library," said the New York woman, leading her visitor into the front room. And that cosy little room back of it is the music room. The 'den' is the big, bright room on your left. Come over and see it. Yes, we have, just five rooms in all. The small back ballroom wo use as a packing and storage closet. Isn't it cosy?"
"Y-e-s,'' agreed her visitor, doubtfully; " but where do you sleep and eat, and all that?"
■ "Oil," said the New Yorker, indifferently, " niv husband and I sleep in the 'den' 011 the Oriental couch, and mother sleeps in the music room on another couch that pulls out at night. We eat on that funny little table in the library. You've no idea how* big it can be made when the leaves are in. And we dress in the bathroom, and keep our clothes in the packing-room. So, you see, it's all very convenient." "What do you do in the kitchen?" inquired the other, laconically. •'(), we keep the dogs in there at night, and in the daytime we sometimes use it—to cook in." —New York I'ress.
