Surprising Beauty of Our cottaq
Homes.
No one of Daytona'S attractions
perhaps. commands more nearly un
versal attention and praise than doe
the artistic cottages. The owners c
these charming villas hail from ever
corner Of the country and they brin
their own architectural plans an
build upon them, and, as the arch
lecture of one section of the countr
differs from the architecture of al
other so do our homes differ i
outward appearance and structure
beauty fron one another There ar
no monotonous rows Of strikingl
similar buildings but the eye, as
sweeps by, is treated to a kalefde
scopic change which keeps the min
wondering, what next?"
i It is no. only the exterior Of man
OF bhes9 homes which rivets after
ton; wllb.E they are models of con
venience, and the finishing and fur
fshlng give evidence of the eleganc
and cultivation of those who worke
it all out. Indeed, it is the interic
arrangement and artistic furnBhin
and shading, more than the exterit
appearance that gives a surpassin
charm TO Daytona homes. This fe
ture justly merits prominence as a
other wonder
