The accompanying design, in the old English style, is for a villa to be erected at New Haven. The outside walls are of brick, 16 inches thick and laid hollow; the inside walls are 8 inches and laid solid; the bay windows and verandas are of wood, with stone underpinning. In the basement floor, under the dining-room and close by the private stairs, is the kitchen; also scullery, pantry, laundry, servants1 room and cellars. The other arrangements will be understood by a reference to the drawings. The window blinds are made to slide in the thickness of the walls, while those for the bay windows fold into each side of the opening. The dining-room communicates through the butler's pantry with the private staircase, in a recess of which is a wash basin, while the green-house is separated from the dining-room by sliding sash doors. The butler's pantry, containing dumb-waiter and sink, is lighted by a window opening into the private staircase. In three of the angles of study are bookcases, the other con-tains the fire-place, which is similar in treatment to them; this ensures uniformity, and carries out the octagonal character of the room, while the ceil ing remains square.

In the chamber floor the family bedroom has a communication with both main and private halls also, by passing through the dressing room, with the children's bed-room, while the linen closet and bath-room are of easy access, and con-veniently situated for the use of all the other parts of the house. The arrangements are such as will allow of the family rooms being separated from the rest of the house in case of any member of the family being sick, and yet to have free communication with the other floors. This secures a quiet place for the sick, with sufficient space and , variety while convalescent, great convenience for bathing, and speedy communication with the servants, without at any time interfering with the more public rooms or halls. The building is to be coated externally with stucco in imitation of stone, with sills, lintles, and arches of brown stone; the basement is of blue stone, and the underpining, where exposed to view, is brown stone. Thorough ventilation is ensured to every room by means of shafts in the hollow wall, which are afterward carried to a large ejector on the roof, and that is encased in appropriate wood work. The rooms which have no fire places are warmed, along with the other parts of the building, with hot air.

The vestibule is to be laid with encaustic tile. The house is to cost $10,000.
