The Yokohama Specie Bank. Mer-

a branch of the great Japanese bank
ing institution of the same name,
which has sub-banks in many Of the
large cities Of the world. 1t was es-
tablished here on a very small scale
many years ago, for the accommodation,
chiefly, of Japanese merchants and
laborers who were. at that time. find
ing new fields in Hawaii When the
Republic building tWall, Nichols Com
pany) was completed this bank took
quarters on the second floor, and re-
manned there until its own fine build
ing, at Merchant and Bethel streets,
was completed last year. The open
ing of this fine, new building, by the
way, was the occasion of a big reCep-
ton. which was attended by all the
bankers and prominent business men
of the city, as well as many govern
ment and consular officials.
The interior of the Yokohama Specie
Bank building is elegant, to say the
least; beautifully furnished, the rooms
being finished in marble. 1t is splen,
didly arranged for it's purposes and is
probably the most commodious bank
ing building in the city.

with the kitchen behind it and the
dining room behind the living room.
Any Of these arrangements are cosy
and convenient, but the preference may
be said to rest with the first, which
allows for the long, spacious living
room. The living room Of a western
home of this type was made most liv-
able by the use Of many little built-in
hooks and corners, and was divided by
girders instead Of the usual columns
or posts. The fireplace of olive-gre
tile had built-in bookcases on either
side, with two windows above it, and
the dull red walls harIlonized with
the woodwork Of dressed redwood left
in its natural color. Sliding glass
doors between the living room and the
den were a unique feature that fur
Their gave the impression Of spacious
ness.
It is surely the day of the built-in
furniture. 1t owes its vogue not only
to the artistic demands which it meets
so gratifyingly, but to the practical de
mands for compact utility. There is
the ha1-tree in the hall and perhaps
the built-in seat with its hinged top :;
the bookshelyes in the living room, the
fireplace, the ingle nook, and the win
dow seat all component parts Of the
room; the sideboard and the cupboard
in the dining room, the kitchen cabinet
and refrigerator and medicine chest
and linen shelves-all adding to the
beauty and convenience Of the house.
In nothing so much as In the new
freplaces does the creditable tendency
to express ourselves in the materials
themselves rather than in ornamental
ton show itself. They are well designed
and, in reaction from the overelab-
Grafton Of a few years ago, are along
colonial or mission lines. Great care
is given to the selection Of thing, when
used. Among the Grueby, lockwood
and Morayian tiles it is possible to OBJ
tain effects that will harmonic with
any room. A fireplace in which was
dull green tiles, with touches Of red
in the carving, carried out successfully
the prevailing tones In a delightful
living room that was recently fur
nished by a bride The walls were
papered with a soft hued paper with a
tan ground covered with blur Of old
rose flowers and dull green leaves,
with just a touch Of brown which was
accented by the brown wood trim Of
the room, and the fat moulding inclos-
ing each wall space. The portieres
were Of dull green arras cloth with a
motif suggested with the wall paper
and carried out In the same low tones
in applique. An interesting idea was
the installing Of small electric lamps
on each post of the built-in book
shelves.
In place of wainscoting for the din
ing room, which is, Of course, most
desirable but also most expensive
strip divisions of grained woods
stained dark rich colors, are much
used In an upstairs living room a
charming effect was obtained by the
use Of silver grey maple with silver
grass cloth and rose color velour hang
ings. For a small room the panels in
closed by black lacquered strips are

49, borne with the accusation
that the architecture of our houses is
borrowed from every quarter Of the
globe, often presenting a hopeless
conglomeration Of borrowings under
the self-same roof-tree; we have had
to. because there they were scattered
all over the country Queen Anne cot
taees. Swiss chalets, Italian villas, In
dian bungalows and art nouveau mon
strosities, some Of them at peace with
their environment, more Of them IN
fortunate aliens. But from this indis-
criminate adoption there have evolved
certain styles In American architec-
ture, bearing still suggestions Of their
source. but so modified and adapted to
our needs and ideals that they are
now recognized as striking the note Of
individuality SO long denied to us.
There is a directness of design and
a sincerity Of treatment in these TWEEN
tieth century homes that is most sat
fsfying. It has been said that There
is a subtle relation existing between
home architecture and the human
heart, and the expression Of that rela-
don should be the ideal Of domestic
architecture" At least we may be
said to be approaching that ideal. be-
cause primarily we are insisting that
our homes express simple beauty and
hospitable comfort and livableness.
The increasing use Of plaster has
been a great incentive to composition,
since it frees the architect to GER
tain extent from strict adherence to
rules. Although this application Of
cement to the exteriors Of buildings
IL really many hundreds Of years old
it has been used only for brick or stone
buildings. so that its use on those Of
frame construction is practically new
and experimental But since it prom
ises great durability, if protected by a
good waterproof, wash, and is proof
against cold and damp, besides lend
ing itself to many attractive finishes,
its popularity is not likely to wane.
The picturesque qualities Of the
combination Of cement with brick or
timber seem especially adapted to the
requirements Of our western and north
western countries where, indeed, one
will find the greatest number Of these
stucco exteriors. Quite new is the use
of tiles as a decorative feature. The
faience tiles, some made from. the
formula of the ancient Babylonian tile,
are used to great advantage IN the
holdings. architraves Of doors and
windows, friezes, and so on They
form a pleasant contrast to the &C.
ment, and are sometimes also used for
the roofing.
The interior arrangement Of the me-
dunn sized home usually follows one OF
three simple plans: the living room
NAV extend across the entire front of
the house with a den and dining room
ouening from it and the kitchen back
Of the den; there may be a good size
entrance hall with a rectangular liv-
ing room on one side and the dining
room and kitchen on the other; or
there may be the square entrance hall
