Domestic Architecture.

From the New York Mail.
II you want a revealing glimpse OF how
domestic architecture has advanced in the
last generation look over some book about
forty years old giving designs and esti-
mates for houses ''af moderate price
The office window man picked up such
volume the other day on the stalls OF
secondhand bookstore. and. without
noticing the date of publication. ran over
it's pages In the thought that he might
find some design suited to his own prob
lematic future needs. There was not q
building pictured in it that modern taste
would consider desirable. True, none
were disfigured by impossible or meaning
less ornamentation, but they fell into two
classes-the square, outstanding house
with mansard roof, and the prim. formal
Queen Anne cottage with its rather fra
gile lines. OF both classes you would say
that the houses stood up instead OF sat
down Nowadays the lines of country
houses are longer; iower. more substan-
tial. and the purpose is to make them
seem true part of the environment as
If. like mushrooms, they had come up out
Of the soil overnight. The ONCE window
man knows of pretty suburb on long
hillside which has Just one restriction
'.No mansard roofs"
