word upon the style of some of the new cottages
Horace White has a new yellow Single COTTAGE
two stories and an attic high, with lattice dormcrs
which have the effect Of small gables The large
roof is also treated with side sacnts. gablcd a
great arch between these gables is recessed deeply
and extends to the roof and lacked with glass in
small pancs. Another gable lower than the roof
TANKS tins arch The cad of the cottage is cx-
tended and deeply haloonicd and its angle with tic
front forms architectural terrace. The roof is in
Older shngle of a gray color. From the road six
different gables are seen.
Victor Newcomers cottage is Icing and low. ana
entirely faced with seasoned shluglc nearly of the
same tone Those i'll the sides are of n svcry tint
The south end makes broad transcpt- Ike feature
which is overhung at each end at the gables and
treated below with bays and an arbor A bell
rooted tower makes the corresponding gable on the
north, aud between is lattice porch breaking tho
caves and flashed with tinted glass. The basement
is of red brick. At the north end is extension in
| higher stories with "A flower window and an advcn-
! tltiouS gable. The general effect is that Of a

house at the Branch, very large very cool and with

| chimncys are too important.
| MI Garrlsons cottage is light green color with
abundant roofs of red. Nine gables raised upon
each other break the lines from "a single point Of

most confuse the eye. A great brick chimney ne
companies the main cupoa nearly to its lantern
and resembles an ambitious buttress with outside
| tireplaces The lower story and basement are Of
brick. This great house is in many parts to cX-
| press itself firmly the mind, though it bears
| study at every point
Mr. Amos Cuttings house makes a great feature
of two huge red brick chmucys entirely outside the

chimney place. Tiles used for outside orna-

mounts all. There is now room at Long Branch for
