Since the heating will be supplied from outside, there will be a hothouse and cold-frames for those who wish to have a share in the garden, just as now there are bins in the basement.

The care of these may replace the exercise now gained in scrubbing the front steps.

The windows of the house will be dust-proof, fly-, mosquito-, and moth-proof; the air supplied will be strained by galleries of screens, if indeed social advance has not eliminated soot from chimneys and grit from the streets.

Most certainly dirt will not be permitted to come in on shoes and long dresses.

Warmed or cooled, moistened or dried air will be circulated as needed.
