An eight-room house, somewhat on
the bungalow order, is given In this
plan. A bungalow, properly speaking,
has only one floor; but this plan pro-
vides for three bedrooms above, and
a kitchen is added at the back, with
a lower roof.
The bungalow developed in this
country on the Pacific coast The
idea, probably was originally brought
from India, although a great many
bungalow really is the outgrowth Of
the log cabins and the sod adobe
houses of the early inhabitants of
the United States. Probably bunga-
low architectural ideas could be traced
back to all these sources. The result
is that we have a very comfortable
low cost house called a bungalow.
which is being extensively built in
different parts of the country, and its
popularity is constantly increasing.
Within easy reach Of large cities,
bungalows are going up by the hun
dreds and the idea is a good one. Peo-
pie are tired of being crowded into
small, unhealthful quarters, and are
taking this means of providing them
selves with good, sensible homes at a
reasonable outlay.
The original bungalow roof was low
and broad; but In order to get more
sleeping accommodation, the ridge was
raised just enough at first to get one
room. Builders, however, have re-
peatedly pushed 1t up higher, until we
see a good many houses built very
much after this plan, with about three
bedrooms In the roof.
1t costs but little more to build a
seven or eight room house In this
way, than to build Ave room house
with the rooms all on the level The
rafters. Of course, are longer. and 1t

While the children are small, 1t is
not absolutely necessary to finish the
bedrooms on the second floor. The
house is complete downstairs. | know
men with families of five or six chill
dren to build a house like this, occu-
py it for year or two, then add a
cellar, sleeping rooms in the attic, a
porch at the back or side, and many
other attractive features as they felt
they could afford the expense. And
very often the money saved in rent has
paid for these improvements.
l particularly like to see thrift of
this kind, and l am optimistic enough
to believe that similar sentiments are
increasing as the country becomes
more thickly populated l see evil
dences of economy that l never no.
ticed before except in isolated cases.
Economy is one of the greatest vir-
tues. Economy and ignorance seldom
go together. 1t requires a person of
more than average intelligence to
practice economy sensibly. Economy
is not stinginess; there is a wide dis
tinction.
A house after this plan can be built
for $1,000 or 1900, according to the
location, cost of materials, and the
price of skilled labor

the roof is not much different, and, as
far as the inside is concerned, you
simply add the finishing up of three
extra rooms. The foundation Is no
larger; and the only addition on the
first floor is the stairway, which, in
this case, is built in and closed with
