The small house and bungalow are
the backbone of American society for
even in our large cities, the great
middle class is breaking away from
the congestion of apartment house
life and the dependence of the month
ly rent bill to live in the more mod
est suburban regions where each
family may own a home of it's own
And not the least of these is the
bungalow for, in spite of all that has
been said against it, the bungalow
continues to multiply, apparently
thriving on the humOr produced at
its expense.
In the smaller centerS this single
stOried home holds an undisputed
place which, thanks to it's lack of
wearying stairs, it will undoubtedly
maintain for all time For this lack
of stair-climbing alone the bungalow
has won a place in the heart Of the
American housewife who finds stair
climbing an unwelcome addition to
the labOrs of her long and tiresome
day.
This bungalow is one of the modest
but thoroughly substantial type which
we see being built wherever families
permanent homes in order that they
may have complete living comfort and
independence. The frame structure
set on foundation of concrete blocks
is sided with clapboards to the ceiling
line above which shingles are used.
The irregular roof line, while calling
for some slightly greater cost of build
ing, effectively breaks the low roof
and relieves any tendency to undue
f1atness.
A front gable projects to cover the
porch, that fast disappearing feature
Of the home which many people still
desire for the comfort which it offers
on warm summer evenings From this
porch entrance is had to an interior
which presents some interesting fea-
lures. The arrangement Of rooms is
highly compact, every inch of space
being used to good advantage The
idea of a central hall, so frequently
seen in the square type of house such
as various colonial designs, has been
adapted here to a more, complete. use,

Colonial Hall Should
Have the AtmOsnhnre

Ii there is an open doorway of the
colonial type in the hall it is highly
desirable to paint and decorate both
stairway and hall in true Colonial
fashion.
Most households have a few Colo
NAL pieceS-not enough to furnish an
entire house, or even one of the larger
rooms, perhaps-but enough to make
a'quaint and dignified Colonial hall
if they are assembled together.
The necessary alterations are not
very expensive and improve the at
mOsphere Of the home out of all pro-
portion to their cost, since the first
impression of a home is the impress
sion its hallway gives. Instead of the
solid mahogany stair treads and hand
rail, which our ancestors used to en-
phasize the good lines of the stairway,

right side contains the sleeping quar-

this central space extending the full
length of the house. The front en-

occupies the first portion of this space,
and in it there is a coat closet where

Back of the vestibule the central

farther back there is closet opening
from the rear bedroom and last of all

this pantry an outside window making
it light and convenient. Between the
