Rite 1hOuSe

| low-enthusiasts end by building two
or three-Story house. House dreams
of newly mari I'd folk are full of bun
galows-but most of these bungalows
do not materialize.
Take the Browns, for instance.
They had lived in a city apartment,
all on one floor. and Mrs Brown was
sure that she did not want to keep
house with q flight of stairs dividing
her house in tive. Mr.. Brown, too,
was a bungalow enthusiast. For some
reason he seemed to think that bum
galow would be less expensive than a
regular houS-. So they saved plans
of bungalows and redrew these in an
amateurish way and made a new set
of plans combining what they thought
the best features of all the plans they
had seen Then they took their plans
to a builder.
The builder said something about
the cost of excavation, add the cost
of roofing and the Browns went home
to revamp thei1 plans on two-floor
plan.
If You do not have to consider the
element of additional cost you can
approach the question for or against
bungalows on their own merits. In
favor of the plan first comes the alb
sence of StairS-a decided advantage
when one must do ones work, when
there are children who need constant
supervision at play outdoors and when
there are old folk to whom stairs pre-
sent a trial. Then the bungalow type
of house has a way of looking more
spacious. There are advantages when
entertaining, too, in having all avail
able rooms adjacent
But there are diSa dvantag es. Six or
seven rooms placed together will be
less light and airy than the same num-
Der in two layer. You can have fewer
room with two-way ventilation. Some
persons, too, dislike to sleep so near
the ground. And certainly bars at the
windows are not cheerful. Then there
is a sense of less privacy in sleeping
quarters in a bungalow and there are.
Housewives who insist that it is more
difficult to keep rooms in order when
they are all on one floor.

their gaze is directed toward the lights
in the boxes to see what women wear
for it's sure to be their best.
The American continent accepts the
fashions of these brilliant and costly
evening entertainments as concrete
evidence of what the winter scheme OF
costumery is to be. That part of the
continent that lies east of New York is
filled with people who may not have
the opportunity nor the desire to dress
after the fashion of the millionaires in
their opera boxes, but, nevertheless,
they want to know what was worn
there, what was conspicuous by its alb
sence, and whether or not New York
followed Paris.
The fact that long white gloves were
generously worn by women in boxes
as well as in the orchestra seats was a
fact that rippled. over the continent.
for instance.
Wherever the trade and the con-
sumner are interested in the revival of
hand coverings, there was general re-
ioicirg. The benighted dowagers who
have protested against the familiar
habit of bare hands in public places
feel that their views have been REIN
stated in good society.
The absence of jewels in the hair
and the substitution of Oriental and
Venetian caps and heavy silver fore
head bands was another fashion of
exceeding importance. Those who
have fur to sell and those who have
fur to wear may not have paid suf-
ficient attention, however, to another
fashion that will spread itself farther
than Venetian caps and twenty-button
gloves.
This is the use of peltry as a dec
grafton for costly and formal evening
gowns. Fox, chinchilla, kelinsky and
ernine were the furs chosen to edge
sleeves and the deep, square decol-
letage of the bodice. France gave the
signal for fur decoration in August.

continents. Coats are decorated with
it as witness the coat of black velouTs
de 1aine sketched today. The fact that
it is the last word in smart fashion in
Paris makes it desira BILE. Beaver is
the fur used. There is a band of it

that flare from the arms and a wide
turnover collar that fastens in front
