used in one OF the newest sets OF small and artis-
tic houses There are other places on this avenue
where the Dutch gable has been effectively EN-
ploved and where the of brick has resulted
IN some very good effects. Up and down the
avenue. however what strikes one most forcibly is
the diversity OF style and material. The Dutch
lines are only an episode here and there. Roman
esoue touches are visible from time TO time In
arched doorways and in passages Of dccoration;
The Renaissance architecture Of Italy is vaguely
felt: the buildings OF the period in France are
recalled in details Of carving. in the graceful ele-
CANT treatment OF a window. and on all sides are
specimens OF that eclectic style which is only TO
be called American.
Where all these houses are American Is In the
unrstakably Ivable look they wear, in the eX-
preston OF domestcity which you will miss in
such English or Partisan streets as correspond to

character of these houses which seems almost
peculiar to the avenue They fairly revel in piano

to remember some other street in which so many
pleasant glimpses are caught Of dantily decorated
interiors made still more dainty by the presence

actually counted them yet make bold to aver
that West End ave. is more generously supplied
with piano lamps than any thoroughfare or It's
