Amid the frost the suns refracted beam
A thousand times outdoes the diamonds

The ruby glints amid the berry-sweet.

No matter where 1t turns the eye will

Strange clustering jewels that are won

But while this jewelry in rich array
Her earnest admiration seems to claim,

She wants a real tiara, just the same.

tudes or as a summer home in cold
latltudes. 1t remained for the Cali
fornia architect to encourage the
building of the bungalow as a sub
stantial type of residence for the
whole year; it was the California ar
chitect and builder who made the
one-story bungalow so popular that
there arose a demand for the story
and half and for the two-story bun
galow; and for the qualification of
those who like the bungalow, but
must have a large house, they fur
nished the large and pretentious home
of the bungalow type.
But the most attractive style is still
the one-story house with Its variety in
plan and decoration. The rough stone
chimneys, the shaded porches of cob
blestone or brick, supplemented by the
variety of built-in features like the
bookcases, china closets, kitchen cab
inets and more attractive "Quirks"
than we can think OF in lighting and
in the fireplaces, make bungalow dis
trict a fascinating section to visit.
Every visitor to California wants to
see the California bungalow. and al
most without exception he decides:
when I come here to live I'll build
a bungalow"
The American Bungalow
In Keith's Magazine for December
there is an article by w. Fawcett on
the American bungalow, accompanied
by illustrations which give evidence
of what artistic and serviceable bum
galows may be erected at prices as
low as $500 to $4,000 each. He states
that the characteristics which have
commended the bungalow include the
opportunity for originality in design,
the convenience of housekeeping on
one floor and the low cost of con-
struction compared with any other
style of residence of like size. A
strong factor in this moderate cost is
the lessened expense for installing
plumbing in all rooms on a ground
floor. There is also economy in heat
ing, as the heat has no stairways from
which to escape. In many of the Cali
fornia bungalows there are no facili-

ties for heating other than by open
hreplaees, which are artistic and help
full, but hardly sufficient in rainy
weather.
The concrete bungalow is a new form
of construction that has attained popu-
larity. Especially does 1t constitute an
effective medium where the so-called
mission" style of architecture is en-
ployed, whereas the fireproof qualities
of concrete is another consideration
which commends 1t. Some residences
of this type are built of solid concrete
or of concrete blocks, but for the most
part the stucco construction is used.
Stucco, which is the cheapest of all the
standard concrete construction, con-
sists of a layer, coating of veneer or
concrete applied over rough stone,
brick or wood or metal lath and is sus-
eeptible Of the most artistic renderings.
The Chalet
Closely akin to the bungalow in the
power of its appeal to the average
home builder and in it's moderate cost
is the chalet, the newest type of Ameri-
can home. The chalet, a frame struc-
ture, the most distinctive feature of
which is a conspicuous, overhanging
roof. has made it's appearance In this
country in numbers only within the
past few years.
The type originated In mountainous
Switzerland, and the United States is
the only country to which 1t has been
transplanted. The chalet particularly
suited to hillside sites-for instance,
those building lots which slope sharply
at the rear or at one side. However,

of its charm even when placed on a
level site.
The roof of the chalet advances con-
to the front-from four to
ten feet In many instances-and on the
sides of the house 1t extends widely.
The protection thus afforded induces
balconies or galleries as the natural
adjunct of this type of residence.

winter and summer alike, so much
space, air and sunlight with so little
cost and care. It was at one time
thought to be a fad of the architects,
but its ever increasing popularity has
disproved that notion.
The birthplace of the bungalow in
this country was CALIFORNIA, and the
California bungalows are still an at
traction of this part of the country.
All bungalows have In way the
same idea, as visit to our bungalow

THE BUNGALOW

n HE word bungalow" is an Indian
word which has been Anglicized.
= It literally means "thatched cot
tage," and the word came from Bengal,
meaning a Bengalese house. The word
was at first applied to houses of one
story, with only ground floor rooms.
While in India today there are many
elaborate and sizable houses of this
class, the term Is still used to desig-
nate summer camp or hunting lodge.
There are also military bungalows used
as barracks for soldiers; and the dak-
bungalow which Is a house for travel
ers, located at intervals Of twelve or
fifteen miles apart in many parts of
India.

OF rooms and special equipments that

many locations. such as the rear end

The combination of rooms could be
called an apartment bungalow. A

use Of wall and disappearing beds ar
ranged to advantage IL is possible to
have two complete three-room apart

closets and screen porch, the living

the rooms. The hall bed folds up into
a space in the wall and the disap-
pearing bed rolls under a sideboard or
bookcase or any other like piece OF
furniture. This bed goes back into a
closet open from floor to ceiling and
is provided with shelving and garment
hangers within the closet, and in con-
nection with this bed closet a dress
ing room can be arranged with a full
length mirror panel and by placing
the dresser in the dressing room you
take every resemblance to a bed room
out OF the living room. The entire
space occupied by this house is 46x48
feet, including steps and porches, and
makes two complete living apart
