pass on to the junk man. As rule, this lack of storage space is caused by the fact that the usual bungalow Is built with a very fiat gable roof set as low as possible to produce the effect of broadness and to destroy the ap- pearance of height. This effort is made necessary in order that ne fun damental idea of the bungalow may be expressed in the design. Bungalows are not supposed to be high. They are, in the pure type, single-story buildings, and since this feature Is their inner ent mark of distinction the contrast is carried still farther by placing a roof on them which will emphasize their flatness-
 In fact, the roof is of prime impor- tance in a bungalow, for 1t is in the roof that the greatest effect may be obtained in adjusting the appearance of the structure to meet the demand for something distinctive or something new. AS rule, when the appearance of the house is the governing factor, the roof will be given such form that NSty IluC StdNt IS IcSSAbiC , but, if necessary, there is no reason why the designer cannot produce a structure of the distinct bungalow type and still shape the roof in such a man. ner that generous attic space is pro- vided.
 The method employed to enlarge the space above the first floor without de stroying the appearance of broadness consists in using either a straight hip roof construction or a combination of the hip and gable types with the hip type predOminating. Occasionally flat roof formers are used in connection with the hip roof to produce the same result. The effect Is altogether pleas. ing to the eye, and the several advan. tages of the more generous storage space which is provided in the attic have recommended 1t in a great many cases. Aside from this fact, if the space Is not used for storage 1t still serves a very good purpose in provid ing an insulating layer of air which will keep the lower floor cool in the hottest weather
 An attractive little bungalow of sin pie construction is shown here as an example of the possibility of utilizing the hip-roof construction The roof of this pleasant little home Is almost purely of this type, the only addition being the small projecting dormer This dorper adds space to the attic and ais, provides the means of admit. ting light to the upper floor. An ar. istic touch is given the main roof by breaking the slope just above the caves and carrying the last few feet down at a new slope. Several inter. esting details are included in the de. sign of this little cottage.
 The sides are finished with beveled siding and the roof Is shingied. The chimney is of the out-built type and is constructed of cobbIe stones. It is quite massive and adds a great deal to the exterior attractiveness of the lit tie bungalow. The broad front porch extending across the front of the house, is . pleasing feature. It is at tracfiyeiy decorated with the block columns and the simple railing. With out the expenditure of great deal oi money the exterior of this house has been made very neat
 The arrangement of rooms and the design of interior details are of spe' ciai interest The living room and the dining room form an attractive com. banafion. The entire wall between 6hese two rooms is removed. forming
