There are certain conventions which
should govern here as well as in the
building of a colonial or an italian
or an early English house. If we are
formulating an architecture which is
to be purely American (and the bun
galow cottage has been evolved from
the East Indian bungalow TO suit
American necessities) let US do so on
lines which are strong and lasting. The

not be so large and heavy as TO be
disproportionate to the house; its
hinges of wrought iron and It's knocker
should not be so aggressive1y massive
as to suggest the defence of feudal

be made also of iron, but the heavy
chains supporting great metal balls

Fur collars of almost all varieties
soon become soiled in the back from
the oil in the hair. Just shake some
talcum powder into the fur and do not
brush off until you wear the garment
again. The powder absorbs the oil from
the hair and keeps the fur in beautiful
condition. This is especially true of
chinchilla.
