The ‘“hour-glass’’ 
table beside the bed, 
which holds a can- 
delabra, is made 
from two circular 
pieces of wood and 
an old broom-han- 
dle. The floor is 
covered with white 
India-matting and 
laid with rugs of 
soft old rose in mo- 
hair. The easy- 
chair of willow is 
cushioned with 
striped satin in old 
rose and the win- 
dows are hung with 
simple scarf draper- 
ies of white dimity. 
The mingling of 
rich satin brocade 
with simple cottons 
and fresh muslins in 
such a room is a 
pleasing experiment, 
and has here produced a charming and very delightful effect. 
The other front bedroom of this bungalow has a com- 
mingling of robin’s-egg-blue, and green and white in its 
coloring. ‘The wall-paper is a design of Cherokee roses and 
green leaves on a blue ground, and the furnishings carry 
these colors throughout. To all of this the black woodwork 
gives an effective setting. 
In bungalow No. 2, we have a type of house which de- 
pends largely upon a garniture of vines for its possibilities 
of beauty. The cobble-stones, used roughly, are seen to 
great advantage when partly covered with creepers. The 
roofless porch and pergola extension also are built merely as 
frames on which to hang a green drapery. ‘The plan is 
so simple as to leave one wondering why we need ever have 
complicated designs for floor plans; and yet it includes every 
necessity and convenience of modern living on simple lines. 
The arrangement of vista in the living-room and dining- 
room is a particularly happy effect, and to this the French

Bungalow No. 3 
is a notable example 
of the new feeling in 
architecture for sim- 
plicity and _ pictur- 
esque quality, rath- 
er than for con- 
ventional beauty 
and impressiveness. 
Here is a _ house 
built on a_ large 
scale, costing ten 
thousand _ dollars, 
with a living-room 
thirty feet long, and 
other rooms pro- 
portionately large; 
it has two stories 
and an attic and contains twelve rooms. There is no evi- 
dence of a desire to build cheaply; on the contrary, the 
hand-finish of the wood, the innumerable beams and many 
unusual windows, the extension porches and balconies, mark 
it to the practised eye as an expensive structure; and yet it 
proudly asserts itself a bungalow of the purest type. 
It is so skilfully and artistically constructed that, although 
rising to two stories and a half in height, its lines spread 
out with a low and gracious aspect; the wide-beamed eaves 
cover the broad porches in unconventional expansiveness, 
and everywhere there is a rustic finish. This house carries 
a suggestion in its design of that most picturesque building 
in the world, the chalet of Switzerland. f 
The illustration of bungalow No. 4 shows a house which 
combines all of the refinements of luxurious living with the 
simplicity of rustic country life. 
Set flat upon a grassy terrace and surrounded by the 
beautiful live oaks of southern California, it presents the 
Bungalow No. 2. Cobblestones prepared for vines. Cost, $2500
