William Morris is, Of course, gener-

of a day of growing grace in home
building and adornment, and Ruskin,
with those of the elect who have re-

foreshadowed a time when the ss-

There is a difference OF opinion as
to the American and German claims
Of priority in this thought, but at any
rate, it is apparent that a relation
exists between the arts and crafts
movement here and the new art move

It is interesting to note how the

That a school Of American archi-
lecture and decorative art is now in
the process Of formation is apparent
to anyone who studies the pretty cot
tages and bungalows erected within
the last ten or fifteen years, and the
rather low, wide-spreading type of
house, favored at present even by the
wealthy builder.

Elaborate schemes involving daring

Another important factor Is the bal

the times is the improve
- ment In taste to be noted in
the American home of today
over that of a few decades
ago. The keynote Of this happy strain
is simplicity, the substantial, unpre-
tentious, honestly made and sparingfy
adorned in all things, replacing the
Hortd, fIly-constructed and over-ornate
effects, which enjoyed passing popH
narity from the day when the perfec-
tion Of machinery made elaboration of
detail easy, to the day when good taste
began to demand, in place Of the facile.
machine-made adornment, the simpler,
hand-wrought designs
Perhaps because America is the land
OF invention, where mechanical con
&Eivances of every kind have been most
abundantly perfected, it was the Amer
Acan home that suffered most from the
ense with which machinery could con-
gruct decoration. Thus it was that the
revolt against red plush and machine
carving, pink and green rose gar
landed rugs, silver massed with fntri-
cate flower designs, and other exhibi-
tions Of a taste for all that glitters
was here most marked at
first, in a reversion to the heaviest
and most crude effects, which gradu-
ally took on grace and lightness with
out losing simplicity.
1t would be difficult to single out the
individual, or individuals, to whom
belong the laurels as champions of
the new order of things; for, as in all
other revolutions of popular taste or
sentiment, it was not the leaders who
created the ideal, actuating the masses,
but rather a growing ideal among the
masses that brought forth the leaders
