lMPoRflNe HOUSES NEW FAD
English Residences Centuries Old Are
Actually Lived In by Wealthy
New York Residents.

Several houses complete in every
detail, dating from the Sixteenth CEN
fury, have recently been imported
from England. Lovers Of the antique
may enjoy the unique experience Of
living in the actual rooms which were
built and decorated three centuries or
more ago, and be within convenient
committing distance Of New York.
Such homes are naturally expensive,
for the original cost is not only con-
siderable, but the cost Of Transporter
ton, the tariff and the expense Of re-
building are naturally great.
An English firm makes speciality
of selling these houses and keeps a
number Of them on hand in their
show place near London for inspec-
ton. When an old house is to be
torn down to make room for some i'm
provement, the building is bought in.
usually for q nominal sum. After be-
ing carefully taken apart It IL rebuilt
in the show place near London, ready
for the inspection Of purchasers. II
it is bought by an American, for in
stance, the house is once more taken
down and packed with care for ship
ment. This work is done by experts,
so that the parts, especially the wood
work, will not be injured. The Eng
lish builders usually come to America
20 set up the house exactly as it orig
inally stood in England. In some in
stances these old houses have been
surrounded with English gardens, re-
producing the original setting in Eng
land OF centuries past.

Camps for Motorists.

Here is the latest idea in camps for
motorists says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine: An Oakland (Oal.) concern
is spending no less than $4,000 in
erecting "bungalettes' on al elght-acre
tract to be let to motoring tourists by
the night or for any longer period
up to fifteen years" Gas the manage
ment jokingly annOunces), which is
the length of the lease on the land.
These simple residences are designed
to take the place Of tents, and while
their furnishings are meager compared
with regular houses, they offer con-
siderably more in the way Of conve-
niences that is commonly offered by an
ordinary tent. These bungalettes are
of two types, some with one room and
some with two rooms. They are built
entirely Of wood, and are equipped
with sinks. running water, electric
lights, 'two-burner gas plates, etc.
