Ingenuity in Desigii Makes Small Houses Desirable The small home that first loomed so large on the American scene just before the war as part of the nation's defense housing has undergone such steady evolution in design that today's snjall home barely resembles it. Today's small house is so well-planned that a 10x11 foot bedroom seem3 spacious; a 9x11 foot kitchen almost over-sized.

home as livable as the larger Architects have abandoned pre-war home, their old method of laying out How Space Is Saved as the size of the show, increasing until last year's four-acre display of building products drew a record-breaking 237,000 persons.

Partitions are thinner and fewer than a few years ago. Although a two-inch saving on each side of a partition may ap- the interior of a house' after the exterior was designed. Architects in all sections who today are concentrating on the small home design the interior first.
