A CALIFORNIA BUNGALOW.

Typical of the Californian type Of
bungalows is the one illustrated to-
day. in which simplicity and complete
ness are tremendously combined
Though the square plan has been
used. on account of its inherent
economy. frugality is overcome by
clever designing. The size Of the
rooms is divided In proportion to the
usual amount of time spent in each
one. Built-in features reduce the
necessary furniture to a minimum.
and their arrangement is such that
the executing Of household duties is
greatly facilitated.
Three coats Of waterproof cement
are applied over metal lath on the In
terior walls. Window and door frames
are painted delft blue. with ivory COL
ored sashes and screens. All Of the
ornamental stan work is blue, aged
with brown and a touch of yellow.
Matching the trim is the decorative
blue lantern which hangs over the
mahogany front door.
From one end of the front patio are
steps. leading up to the roof garden

hat the term Is most accurate. As
4 matter of fact. we all know that
he inhabitants OF England are not
descended only from the Angles and
saxons who invaded the island and
made themselves masters OF IL.
When these adventures arrived
hey found there the original Celtic
population. with whom the Romans
had mingled their blood. and after
the Angles and Saxons had con-
solidated their power the Danes
came, and after them the Normans.
Moreover, for centuries now there
has beeran incessant inhltration OF
Seltic. blood from Wales and Scot
land andlreland. The English Ian
yuage may be Anglo-Saxon in its
Skeletons but IL is largely Norman
French m its vocabulary, and the
stock that speaks the English Ian
guage Is very far from being pre-
dominantiy Anglo-Saxon: rather Is

sciousness of its diverse origins and

And now he Is going, after serv-

years, and as secretary for about
ten. to be minister of Panama to

Argentina, Brazil and Chile. He
has also been appointed a delegate

or course II Is a promotion for
him and We should congratulate
our friend. but why didn't they just
make him Minister here and leave
him in our midst. I'd like to know.
He has been acting Minister so long
and so frequently that he should
have the job here. I think.
The new Minister of Panama. Ric-
cardo, Alfaro. accompanied by
Sonora de Alfaro. will arrive In
this country shortly, after which
Mr.. Lefevre will complete his plans
for going to his new post.
I think I met the new Minister
six months or so ago: maybe longer.
