Brick is a material that always ap-
peals to home builders. Homes of
brick are substantial hOmes-hOmes
that are warm in winter and cool in
summer. In exterior appearance they
cannot be surpassed, for the reason
that the various colOrs of the bricks
lend themselves to harmonious con-
trasts. Another claim to the popu-
larity of brick Is that the cost of up
keep is low.
Herewith is shown a square brick
house, with exterior walls Of buff
brick. The color is such that In the
illustration this house might be mis-
taken for one with a stucco exterior.
The wide, open porch is the principal
reason for the fine appearance of this
house, but the porch and balcony
above it, coupled with the hip roof
and dormer windows help consider
ably.
Inside, this house is well arranged

The Monuments Of Genoa.
In Genoa we have some fine new
buildings. There is the bourse. and
the post office-fuH of accommodation

places like the Piazza de Ferrari, sud

than that of Mazzini In this city, h'gh

she is now with the New World, with
the big American steamships coming

monument in her city to Christopher
Columbus, who discovered America
even though he were Spaniard and
no Italian.
In Genoa there are innumerable ole

have courtyards In which orange tree:

churches, with strange legends at

Everywhere there is something writ
