del Sargol IS la rapidez con que redon-

cachetes Sc llenan hasta adquirir su
forma ovalada; el cuello el busto Sc
ponen firmes y duros; los brazos Sc
redondean. y adquieren proporciones
simetricas y las demas parties del cuerpo
femenino Sc desarrollan en- proportion
adquieren esas lineas curyas que los
hombres tanto admiran sin las cuales
no existe la verdadera hermosura. No

que pueda compararse con el desarrollo
perfecto que Sc obtiene cuando los or

de disimular con rellenos y almohadi-

imperfecciones del cuerpo femenino.

Most of these old houses are built OF
brick, but a few are of native Southern
pine. The attention which New Eng.
land builders bestowed upon the porchAs
and doors Of their houses was applied
to the columns and cornicas In the
South. The Southern Colonial houses
maintained their fat roofs to q larger
extent than the New England ones,
which suffered from an outbreak Of
sloping roofs with dorrner windows The
wings Of the English Georgian house
were generally q part of the Southern
adaptation.
Possibly because the Southern houses
are the pure colonial type and possibly
because the Americans OF to-day resent
the GOODNESS and primness Of New Eng
lsnd architecture the Southern Colonial
house Is widely copied and adapted for
modern uses Times without number in
recent years the Southern Colonial house
has been reproduced in brick.

undermining old farm houses. Mount

The whole neighborhood Is replete with
historic associations. The Van Cort-
landt estate was originally a grant from
the Dutch crown supplemented by pur-
chases from the Indians. At that time
1t contained most of the territory which
is now the Borough OF The Bronx and
the city of Yonkers- This last nucleus
of the estate has been in the family since
the beginning. Stephen Van Cortlandt,
the first and only lord OF the manor,
who was only 21 years old when the
English occupation of New York took
place in 1864, became the first native
American Mayor. administering the city
from 1867 to his death. From ITO to
1919 Jacobus Van Cortlandt was Mayor
of New York. 1t was he who damned

gtnia, is almost invariably that Of
rigid formality. In no other period OF
architectural history has the simple home
achieved the stately dignity Of the Colo
NAL mansion The Colonial houses were
seldom elaborate and many Of them were
not larger than other houses.
Symmetry Is the Keynote.
Plans for houses of the Colonial period
found In old British architects plan
books show shat above all things the
buildings were supposed to be symmet-
rical. Each front was regular and
meant TO be seen. There was no thought
Of giving the house a back for the use
of servants and tradesmen.
Throughout New England the native
carpenters worked from these books Of
designs. They were adapters rather
than mere copyists, though, and soon
began publishing books of plans OF their
own One of the earliest Of these was
published at Greenfield, Mass. by Asher
Benjamin.
The early Colonial home in New Eng
land has been called the simplest and
most obvious expression of the Puritan
spirit 1t was frugal, reserved. digni-
fed and self-contained. The cornices
were narrow the columns small, the
house outline uneompromisingly simple
and the interior arrangement direct. A
huge central chimney was an Inevitable
characteristic of the early New England
Colonial house. Many of the later houses
have four chimneys. two on each wall.
Pillars, columns and bits of shaped
wood for the porches OF the New Eng
land houses were imported from Eng

were often square. carpentef built at.
fairs, sometimes with panelied sides.
Much of the charm Of the large. square
wooden mansions OF Colo..ial New Eng
land was due to the color scheme OF
white with green shutters and roofs.
The earliest OF these houses were built
OF clapboards and had shingled. roofs.
Many OF the later houses were covered
entirely by shingles
TelItnle Doors and Porches.
Any desire for decoration which the
builders of houses in Colonial New
England had found its expression in
the doors and porches. The porch of
New England is an elaborate develop
ment of the hooded doorways Of old
England. Elaborate bits Of wood carv-
ing were often used In this porch. Fan
lights and side lights Of loaded glass
were almost always an accompaniment
Of the Colonial doors. which were much
lower than the doors OF to-day. No
Colonial house had a door which was
much higher than six feet. These doors
were carefully and beautifully panelled
The feature. though. OF the New Eng
land door Of the Colonial period was not
its panelling or its fan light but its
massive brass knocker. With the revo-
luton the lion and ring knocker. which
was SO popular In England, was re-
placed by one In the shape OF an eagle
This and a garland knocker were used
almost to the exclusion Of other de-
signs.

who was poorer and. not being able to
import brick. was forced to build his
homo of the native white pine.
The Southern houses more closely ap-
preached the classic ideal in their out
lines. In describing Monticello Jeffer-
son said that the mansion externally
was of the Doric order Of Grecian archi-
lecture, with its heavy cornices and
massive balustrades, and that it's public
rooms were finished in the Ionic style.
AS rule the columns Of the Southern
houses approached the classic proper
ton, although they were generally
round and fluted like the New England
columns.

the finest flavor of all American Colonial
architecture Is preserved In the old
manor houses along the James River,

For years America has been called the
melting pot for the peoples of Europe.
II should also be called the melting pot
for architectural designs. The best and
worst buildings of every age and every
country have been reproduced In the
United States Immigrants and tourists
have done their best to prevent the
formation of a native school of architec-
ture. for when they came to build homes
they wanted copies of the houses OF their
native lands or adaptations Of buildings
they admired on their travels.
As result not one but. Ave distinct
types of American domestic architecture

The best examples Of the New Eng

These are the real old houses. for the
builders Of to-day prefer the Southern
