This la u type of bungalow which Is the outgrowth of typical American requirements. and suggests Itself particularly for those localities where the -tin Is strong and hot over long intertills in summer. For this reason it should commend itself to the intending home owner In the warmer sections of the country. It would make an ideal small farm residence, and not because ,of looks alone, but because it is of fairly simple structural design which could be developed satisfactorily even where there was a lack of skilled building labor. The front porch has possibilities and

The sink is right below the double kitchen window. If tills house were being built for a farm residence, it might lie a good idea to turn the design around, giving a view of the road from the kitchen window, and letting the porch come at the side. Otfly the woman who is the mistress of the house isolated on a farm away from near-by neighbors can appreciate what it means to have this glimpse of the road and passersby. It breaks in on I lie monotony of the day very gratefully. • 1 There are two bedrooms, each 13 feet by 11 feet. There could be extra bedrooms upstairs.

STUCCO MAKES NEW HOUSES Skillful Application Create* New Style—Hides Old Feature* of Design. Standards of architecture have changed greatly in the lasi two or three decades. The ovetvnamentation of past years is now replaced by simplicity of design. iu most cases It is the exterior appearance o’ a house that no longer pleases. In most cases the framework or

■ skeleton of the house is perfectly sound i and capable of offering a habitation : for many years, and, as a matter of I fact, in many old structures we find materials and workmanship not dupli- ■ cated in later-built houses. By Judicious and intelligent remodeling, the old house can be brought to conform with the most modern ideals in upI pearanee and style. The means for retaining the old house, while changing and modeniixi Ing its outward appearance, He in the use of portland cement stucco. In its essentials, remodeling with Portland cement stucco merely means the over- > coating of the old house with u layer of durable, rtre-resistive and attractive Portland cement stucco. At the same time, all extraneous and unnecessary ornamentation cun be eliminated. In the ease of a wooden house, the walls, if in good condition, are not changed in any way; that is, the clapboards or shingles are left In place, a layer of metal lath stapled over them, and the stucco applied directly on the lath. Thus we are not changing the structure, but rather only adding an additional thickness, an "overcoat" that keeps the interior warm and lessens heating cost. In some cases the trim around windows and doors must be added to bring them out to the new finish line of the stucco. When clapboard or shingles are lu poor condition they are removed and the metal lath and stucco applied over the sheathing board*. It must not be thought that stucco can be employed only for remodeling frame houses, since one of its most Important uses is the overcoating and remodeling of old brick and stone houses. In houses built of these materials the walls, if in proper condition, may receive the stucco directly without the use of metal lath, that Is, the stucco is plastered directly on the surface, and because of the nature of the stucco, it binds to the old wall surface and becomes practically a part of It. Many of the old brownatone or sandstone houses are remodeled In this way. Not only does the stucco protect the soft natural stone, which may show signs of disintegration, but the whole appearance of the house Is modernized. The building, when remodeled with stucco, gains a distinctiveness and individuality which seta it apart from Its neighbors, and these new qualities are bound to Increase its renting or selling value. In the remodeled house exactly the same texture finishes and wide variety of colors may be obtained as hi new stucco work —in fact, to all outward appearance, If the remodeling Is skillfully done, the'house becomes a new one to such an extent that even the most expert eye cannot detect that an bld house exists under the new surface.
