Winter Is Best Time to
Almest every family gg occa-
sion, has unexpected visitors drop
in on them. It may .be an 'olds
school chum "who, with his wife,
plan to visit fora couple of days,
or mother and dad who tiiaYe drop-
ped in for the weekend.
When they do, isn't it nice to
be able to say, "Why not stay
with us?"
. Unfortunately, there are famil-
ies who are unable to do this
simply because • of the lack of
house space. To issue such an
invitation, under any and all cir-
cumstances, requires more than
just a warm feeling of hospitality.
It needs, also a well-appointed
guest room,
The most essential factor in
planning a guest room can per -
'haps be summed up in ,one word—
"privacy". It should be a room
to which guests can go and feel
that they are completely on their
own, where they need not be an
intrusion' on the family.
There are many things a family
can do in their home to provide
such a guest room that is, besides
"doing it now", thereby creating
additional winter employment.
The guest room, of course, can
be fitted out in varying degrees de-
pending upon Circumstances. Per-
haps the simplest step that can be
taken, and certainly one that
should not entail too much ex-
pense, is the installation of a wash
basin in the guest room.

Inn some instances, it might be
desirable to have the basin put
into the bedroom cupboard, and in
`the past, this has, in fact,- been a
popular solution.
But 'that cuts down o t,.. elotheas
hanging space, and today it, is con-
sidered more practical to. make -
the wash basin part and parcel of
the furnishings of the room. This
has been made easier by the in-
troduction in recent years of a
wash basin built into a counter
top, on which all the accessories
of the..teilet can be placed:,
With a Mirror on the wall, the
fixture becomes a combination• of
a wash basin and vanity and be-
cause of its beauty of both design
and color, it adds to rather than
extracts from the appearance of
the room.
Even more desirable, if space
permits, is a complete powder
room, or half -bathroom, with both
wash basin and toilet. This re-
quires a self-contained .space, of
course, but even a fair-sized cup-
board is sufficient to house it. An
area no bigger than: five-by:three-
feet can be made to do, apd many
bedroom cupboards, particularly
in older houses, are sufficiently
big.
Sometimes it is more practical,
and often more useful from the
family's point of view, to build the
guest bathroom. not in, but adjac-
ent to, the guest room. Space may
snuggest itself in a hall cupboard,
or even the end of the hall itself
will -afford space for a small bath,-
room.
ath=room.
In this connection, two fixtures
that -have been developed within
recent years might help answer
the -space problem. One is the
square bathtub. Some of these are
no bigger. than 42.by .31 inches, a
size small' enough to fit into the
most limited area, while one some-
what larger -48 by 46 inches-1eit
only takes up little space but, in
its diagonal measurement, pro-
vides a full-length tub as well.
A guest room thus fitted' out is
one Vat will assure plaudits for
the thoughtful householder. But,
though, they are_ generally careful
planners, they are• not engineers, -
and might easily be discouraged
from starting such an undertaking
because of the apparent difficul-
ties involved.
Often, however, a consultation'
with. a reliable plumbing contrac-
tor will be sufficient to prove that
they are not nearly so great, and
probably not so costly as they had
imagined. And if the project was
undertaken now while the help is
available, it could be completed
in jig time.
