d" F YOU are an inhabitant Of a real
city and are next to the latest
things. you no longer say to your
family or friend, Come on, let
US get away from the noise and
dust and heat of the city and go out
into the cool. fresh air of the country"
No. you no longer say that if you are
actually awake to the very latest things
In this world of changes What YOU
say now runs something like this:
Come on, let us get away from the
noise and dust and heat and go up into
the cool, fresh air of the city
For nowadays 1t is a case Of hot 60
ing out" but going up" The country
Is all right providing you have the time
and the ability to get there. But the
country has been made a thing almost
superfluous by the city roof-provided
you can find one high enough.
1t is the season of the exploitation
and utilization Of what was heretofore
the wasted top floor Of every building.
Roofs have now become as important
rs any floor of a structure. This season
they have been made to hold everything
from tennis courts to good-sized bunga-
lows and beautiful Italian gardens
And why not? The roof space that
goes to waste in a large city is nothing
less than appalling. The strangest part
Of the neglect Of the roof is that 1t is
generally the most attractive part of any
building. II there is a vestige of a breeze
blowing from any quarter on a hot day
the roof is bound to get it.
r"he roof of even comparatively low
building is above the dust line and Is
reached by only minimum Of noises.
Also to he taken into consideration is
the view that is to be had from the
lowliest of roofs. And any physician in
the world will be willing to testify that
the air OF even the roof of low build
ing is much purer and healthier than
the. air that Is to be found on the street
level
= With ell these advantages in its favor
II is scarcely to be wondered at that the
roof is coming into its own. There are
scores of families living in the larger
and therefore hotter cities who this year
have taken untold comfort from the
roofs of their apartments or other build
ings. Everything in the way Of habita-
lions have been erected on roofs from
tents to q roomy bungalow In which
Donald Brian has made his home on
the roof OF a great New York skyscraper
New York also has the only Italian

In a little niche designed especially
for it is a Venus done in France in the
seventeenth century. Standing almost
knee deep in vast jardiniere filed with
pink Towering geraniums she looks
about shyly but quite composedly, for
what could harm her classic beauty
when guarded by very .ierce-looking
lion from the Borozzi palace in Venice?
The lion Is opposite an ancient balus-
trade from an old world garden.
The chef d'oeuvre Of the art collection
in the garden is the pair of wrought
iron doors which came from the Borozzi
palace in Venice along with the lions
and are placed at the end of the pas
sageway leading from one section of the
garden to the other. While they are
usually open they can be closed il de-
sired. and pictorially they are seen to
better advantage from this aspect Ar
tistically they are charming. the tall.
slender palings being the support for
very lovely design Of grapes and
leaves which trail themselves over the
surface of the doors.
There are several marble cupids and
other Venetian lions, besides a score Of
marble vases and jardinieres of more or
less antiquity and beauty. One of the
interesting features Of this $4,000
Italian garden is the lighting, which is
of hand wrought iron. hung high BY
their massive swinging cranes and wired
for electricity.
1t is the pleasure Of the owner to
have his dinner served in the garden
frequently. and Invariably when the
tapestry-hung dining-room below stairs
is used for entertaining. both the cock
tails and the coffee are served on the
roof
Some time Mr. Bendel expects to en-
large his garden to cover the entire roof
area. Now that the experiment has
proved at once so successful and so de-
lightful the work of carrying out the
extension will soon be begun. The con-
tract has been given to q landscape ar
chitect, and while not all the features
will be introduced Immediately, since
some of the owners art objects are de-
tanned in France on account of the war,
there is small doubt but that by early
fall the scheme will be completed and
will represent q possible outlay Of BE-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
As an example of the possibilities Of
. residential city roof Mr.. Bendel's ex-
pertinent Is being studied by many in.
terested building owners. Very crafty.
ing results can be obtained with the ex-
penditure Of much less money. and the
returns IN health and happiness are
comparable to nothing short Of country
life, for It means an outdoor existence
during q good part Of the year to city
folk which Is spent now within the four
walls Of . dwelling.

roof garden in the world-an amazing
ly beautiful garden planned and con-
structed at cost of $4,000.
Donald Brian. star of the stage, was
one of the first to realize the possibili-
ties Of a roof as a home. He is the
only man in the world who owns a sum-
mer home on the roof of q twenty-five
story skyscraper.
He lives with his wife and family in
a smart little five-room bungalow whose
foundations rest on the roof Of the
Cross & Brown building, at 41st and
Fifth ave, New York city
His front yard is the broad roof of
the big skyscraper and he has a tennis
court and numerous other outdoor re-
creation features in this yard, all ESQ
feet up in the air where there is a cool
breeze on the hottest day in August
His view takes in all of New York
city, both the East and North rivers and
the landscape of Long Island. the
sweep of the Palisades and an ocean
lookout extending far beyond the statue
Of Liberty out to Sandy Hook
Mr. Brian secured this ideal summer
home through fortunate combination
OF circumstances. He was looking for
a bungalow somewhere on Long Island
on the Jersey coast within committing
distance Of New York during his en-
EHgeUeHt IN New fOTk, Out QdQ not
been able to find what he wanted when
a friend told him Of this skyscraper
bungalow which had been erected by
the architect who built the Cross and
Brown building for his own home.
The architect had been compelled to
leave New York to attend to a piece of
construction work in the west and de-
sired to sublet his lofty bungalow.
Brian and his wife inspected the place
and were so delighted that they moved
In at once and intend to make It their
home as long as the architect remains
out of the city.
They have sounded its praises so in
dustriously among their friends that al
ready there is such q demand for similar
bungalows that a number are being con-
structed on the roofs Of other sky
scrapers.
Another way of looking at . roof il
the way Henri Bendel. a lover Of arts,
has done. He recently rented the top
floor of new twelve-story apartment
house at West End ave. and S5th st.
in New York. And after the apartment
was built he Immediately went to work
and had pianfed-if that IL the word to
be used-an Italian garden on IT. rooe.
The Washington herald., 1915-08-22

The garden cost the impressive sum OF
$4,000. There is not q counterpart
Of it any place In the world.
1t is the most deliberately planned
private possession In New York. For
many years Bendel had the idea in mind
and became more and more impressed
with It's feasibility and the pleasure It
would bring.
Finally he found q man who was put
ting up . new, apartment house and
Bendel arranged with him to take not
only the entire top door consisting Of
fourteen rooms and four baths. but also
the. roof to put his idea into execution.
A landscape gardener laid out the
plan. As It was only an experiment It
was decided to lay out only half the
roof or about 1900 square feet for the
Garden. Trellises and lattice work hem

CASHIER MAY PAY
SHORTAGE IN FULL

PHOENIX, March 2.-Will Joseph
IG. Armstrong, former president and
cashier of the Bowie Bank and
Trust Company make good the loss
to lepositors?
That is the question State Auditor
lCallaghan asked himself yesterday at
ter the receipt of wire from Arm
Istrong to the effect that he had sue
ceeded in raising all but $500 of the
amount necessary to reimburse those
who had money in the bank when it
closed its doors The amount needed
to satisfy all claims against the in
stitution is approximately $500. AS
soon as he has that sum raised. Arm
strong says, he will send a check for
the entire amount to the state auditor.
Armstrong, who recently won a
strenuous fight against extradition
proceedings, says that he took only
enough money for carfare to Omaha,
and that he intended to return to
Bowie as soon as he had the funds to
re-oxen the bank. 1t was to secure
some ready cash following a run on
the institution that he took along one
or two notes, on which he has sue.
ceeded in raising about $4,000. AL
Though it is not considered likely that
he will return to Arizona, Auditor
Callaghan stated yesterday that heidi
not think there would be any dispo-
sition to prosecute the erstwhile fin
ancier provided he paid all claims in
full. Among the deposits in the bank
at the time it suspended operations
was $4,000 belonging to Cochise
