CUBIST HOUSES
FOR ARTISTS A
PARIS REALITY

PARIS, June 24.-Cubist houses for
Paris painters are something more
than a canvas at the salon or an ar
chitect's dream They have actually
been completed = whole street of
them-in one of the left bank quarters
and named after the painter Seurat,
whose Circus recently was accepted
by the Louvre as the gift of the late
John Quinn.
The "Cite Seurat' has no two houses
alike. But they have one thing in
common which greatly astonishes
meer bourgeois French neighbors. This
is the enormous areas of window space
for sunlight and air. All the furniture
is arranged so as to follow the, angles
of the room. Economy of space has
been the watchwoord of the architects.
tWhat we want is light; bedrooms
facing south, kitchens to the north.
and not an inch of space wasted" This
is the motto of the constructors of the
little studios.

above Nice, in which one of the kings
of Savoy once lived. The house has 4,

to ride his horse to his bedroom every
night. Mrs Mordaunt has elected to
live in rural France because of the
cheapness of life there, even in a
house that once belonged to a king.

Los Angeles is my temple to God. By

once a year for short time, or per-

way in which I can ever keep fresh
