places usually have exposed 
facings and are finished 
with a mantel shelf, some- 
times of wood supported on 
wooden or ornamental 
wrought iron brackets, or of 
stone slabs resting on stone 
corbels protruding from the

and it also should have the pleasantest outlook 
possible to the situation. Both of these considera- 
tions are important, as well as the best arrange-

windows and of outside doors which may open

The California bungalow is, as a rule, always 
provided with a dining-room, and in this is quite

interest should be in the 
fireplace, which might serve 
as the commanding attrac- 
tion, from which the key-
