window for too canary; rather baa towed away bis kit of toola; Daughter baa arranged the sofa cushions, and Boost baa bora told where to bang bla bat and keep hie ahotgnn. The new borne ta bo longer a house o dreams; It le a dean, ahtnlng reality where) cheery lamps' welcome the hOBM-oomer, as the daya begin to shorten v here amoldertng logs light the hearth aa the erealnga grow chill. Tity are, abore all elee. abode of comfort, tbeaa thonaaada of American homee Just finished. They reflect the tendency of the times, la boose-bund
ing, at least, toward substantial simplicity. Even la bomea of great
wealth the aim baa been to produce
effects of chaste elegance and not pre
tentions luxury Never baa the man of moderate means been so well able to build a home so suited to his needs and so artistic aa at the present time. Architect generally are putting forth their best efforts to design attractive
bomea that may be built for sums ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. In fact many delightful bungalowa are being built for 91,500. Indeed, probably more so-caned bungalows are being erected than any
other style of dwelling. Bungalow has
come to be such aa elastic term la this country that It la applied to many houses which mar not rightly be given the euphonlua name. BuagaloW Is the name given to certain Bengalese
houses, but It la aald that the Inna or
botela built by the English In India are the ooly real buagalowa to.be found there. These are long, low buildings
with wide verandas and overhanging eavea, which are never built' with a second story. We apply the term to anything from a log cabin to a concrete palace. The preferred building
materials for the bungalow are cement, logs, field-stone and slabs on an ordinary stud frame. Among other
desirable styles of architecture that
have been favored for the small house
la the English, cottage, the Spanish' hacienda, the Italian villa,' and the Swiss chalet.
A most attractive bouse of the latter,
style haa Just been completed which
baa a somewhat unique arrangement of the rooms. The house waa set high
up en a foundation of rustle rock.
which eliminated, the . expense of excavation. This afforded a basement In which was the den, the laundry, a lav
atory, beater room and vegetable room. The den had a brick fireplace
with an inglenook, paneled wainscot
v
be convenient for umbrellas and rubbers and the like. A long mirror was
set in the door of the closet nearby, should one wish to cast a parting
glance therein. . In the living room were
the bookcases built across the whole length of .the room, on either side of
the fireplace. The radiator was con'
cealed under a long, low -window seat
the lounging room of. a country house two regulation Pullman sleeper berths were-concealed in the wainscoting.
When they were closed - one -would never have . guessed--their, presence.
They are let down oy simply pressing
a button.' and "are' used' often" when large houee parties tax the capacity of the place. ".- . - In many of the new homes has been Installed an entirely new. method of illumination which haa been a matter of experimentation for a long time. The perfection of the powerful tungsten filament and the invention of a mirror reflector ' that Is plated with silver has made practicable and highly satisfactory a method of indirect illumination that is said to be the nearest approach to daylight yet attained. When this reflector is placed beneath an electric lamp with the tungsten filament which produces three times the illumination of a lamp with car
bon filament the Intense light is reflected to the celling and thence distributed with a uniform radiance of a soft clear nature like moonlight . The fixtures for" this manner of lighting are most artistic. The plain
er ones now in use consist -of, one or
more -inverted domes of brushed brass; that are swung from the celling on
chains. Some, of-th more elaborate
domes have their metal fret ; work
lined with soft silk.. In colors to har
monize with the decoration o2 Oa room. Thero is also a noticeable ImprovM ment in the disposal of radiators taj the modern house. Many are nnejj
