looked, is by the use of novel hard
ware fittings for doors and windows.
Although a scrutiny of the pictures of
old castles and other structures of by
gone days will offer many a sugges-
ton which might be used in obtain
ing novel hardware fittings, especial
ly for door hinges, it is seldom that
any of these unique fittings are used
in home building. Perhaps it is be-
cause the massive hinges and locks
of those olden days were used, not
for their appearance, but for their
strength, and their use is still assO-
ciated with that same idea. If so it
Is a mistaken idea, for it is possible
to use just such fittings on even a
little bungalow with very pleasing
effect. A bungalow is shown here
which has more than the ordinary in
dividuality and yet there is nothing
which is not attractive in its unique
ness.
The appearance of the front door is
an indication of what may be obtained
by the use of distinctive hardware.
The hinges are of heavy brass and ex-
tend nearly across the width of the
door. The door knob and plate are
also of heavy, substantial construc
ton, in harmony with the hinges. The
windows at the top of the door are
narrow strips of plate glass running
parallel to the hinges. This door has
a very massive appearance, but it
blends well with the other features
of this little structure.
The front porch is set around one
corner of the house and the door is
built into this corner. The portion Of
the roof covering the porch is sup
ported by three pillars set upon rough
brick columns, and a low railing is
carried around the porch at the level
of the top of the brickwork. The
sides of the bungalow are covered
with rough siding up to the gables,
which are shingled in alternate wide
and narrow rows. There is a decided
contrast between these two methods
of finishing, but the effect is very
pleasing. The many gables give a
roof effect which emphasizes the
broad solidity of the design and also
adds further note of distinction to
the bungalow. The chimney is of
rough brick to correspond to the
| porch columns. The exterior is quite
different from the usual examples of
this type and lends itself well to a
finish which will force it upon the
attention of the casual observer. Trim
should be white around all windows
and doors. The porch railings and
pillars should be finished in the same
way. With the rough siding finished
In some dark color and the shingled
portion a few shades lighter, the fin

visit the owners of this bungalow
home.
The corner of the house opposite to
the porch is occupied with two bed
rooms and bathroom, all of which
open into hall leading to the dining
room. Each bedroom has a generous
closet with shelves, and is well light
ed. The bathroom is well arranged
and is provided with a built-in medi-
cine closet.
The stairs into the basement are
reached through the hall in the rear
of the house. The basement is large
and may be used in many ways to add
to the utility Of the house. 1t is
lighted with grade windows made pos
sible by carrying the foundation walls
up above the ground level. Storage
space is provided in the attic, which
may be reached from the living room.
Taken in it's entirety, this bungalow
has an unusual number of very inter-
esting features, both in interior and
exterior design, and it Is particularly
well suited to the man who enjoys
| individuality in home.

room, from the reception hall, is a
colonnade with a cased opening into
a little den which is one of the most
inviting features of the entire house.
The rear wall of the den is occupied
with big brick fireplace having a
bookcase built against the wall on
each side. Light enters through
double easement window in the other
wall.
The dining room is connected to the
living room through a 45-degree
cased opening, which really makes
these two rooms into one large ! ON
extending around the corner at the
staircase. In the dining room is
bay with four windows and seat in
front of them. Across from this seat
is a buffet built against the wall. The
dining room and living room are Of
the same size and together are suffi-
cient to provide room for the enter
tainment of quite few guests.
The kitchen is back of the dining
room and is equipped with model
pantry. While working at the table
in this pantry the shelves are handily
located to the right and the refrigera-
tor to the left. No time and energy
are wasted in moving about a large
room in the preparation Of a meal.
The refrigerator is iced from the rear
porch, thus preventing the tracking
of mud into the kitchen by the ice
man. This pantry will prove to be
as interesting a feature to the women
as the little den is to the men who

Fruit for jelly may be cooked and
allowed to drip overnight, then early
the next day the jelly may be made.
The best fruit for jelly-making is
little underripe as the fruit then
contains the element (pectin) which
thickens the jelly; after fruit Is ripe
this element usually disappears. Even
when it is present as it is in some
ripe fruits the jelly is more apt to be
cloudy as the fruit cooks to pieces.
Apple is a splendid base to use for
jelly combinations as it is so rich
in pectin that when combined with
fruit which possesses little, like
peaches or strawberries, 1t makes a
good jelly.
Water is not needed in jelly-making
unless the fruits lack Juice, then Just
as little as possible is added.
Jelly should be true to favor, firm
enough to keep its shape when turned
from the glass and when cut should
make sharp angles, clear and good
color.
One of the great mistakes many
busy housewives make is trying to
boil too much jelly at once. Make
no more than four or five glasses at
each boiling. The advantage is two

Nearly all people are gifted with a
desire to possess a home which is
different from that of their neighbors.
AS result there are a great variety
of ways in which a house may be
finished: Wood, brick, stone of all
kinds, concrete blocks, stucco and all
combinations of these have aided in
the conquest for variety; the archi-
tects and contractors have worked
overtime to produce new and distinc-
tive details of house design. The
work of all ages and all lands is gath
cred together to contribute to the sat
tsfaction of the modern home builder.
At various times type of construc-
ton is found which seems to be par
ticularly suited to some certain local
tty, but it is invariably only a short
time when this type is found to be
applicable to other localities, after a
few changes have been made to adapt
1t to a different climate. An illustra-
ton may be taken from the wide use
of the bungalow type of home, which,
although especially adapted to the
needs Of the California home builder,
is nevertheless furnishing a very sat
isfactory type of construction for
those building in the middle and east

home builder who appreciates the

still wishes to obtain q distinctive
house, to call upon the designer to in
corporate some novel features into his
plans which will mark the finished
structure as decidedly different from

Substantial LETTERING,

Has it occurred to you what attrac-
tive letters substantial tapes or braids
of almost any kind will make on house
hold linens? This is really as easy
a way of marking as any. 1t is neces-
sary, of course, first to mark off your
letters; a script is usually best for
braidwork, and the marking can be
done with stout card upon which the
letter has been drawn and the outline
perforated with pins. This card will
last for many stampings with a soft
lead pencil through the perforations.
Cotton soutache. very fine rickrack,
coronation, cotton rat-tail or any braid
may be worked into these letters. The
heavier braids, of course, should be re-

other method is to coat the inside OF
the glass bulbs with ten per cent

small amount of sodium phosphate is
added, then the drying process is con
