House and Garden 
is inextricably associated with the more 
general one of architecture, hut Mr. 
Sherrill displays a nice sense of propor¬ 
tion in making the necessary connection 
and yet keeping strictly to his chosen 
Re\d.- The Dial. 
BUNGALOWS, CAMPS AND MOUNTAIN 
HOUSES* 
T HK large interest taken of late years 
hy people of even moderate means 
to provide for a short season’s rest in 
the country, woodside or on lake or sea¬ 
shore, has called forth much effort on 
the part of architects in all parts of the 
country to provide suitable abodes for 
such a season of rest. 
In compiling this hook the aim of its 
editor has been to bring together the best 
ideas, as far as possible, of architects 
who have given attention to this class of 
work. A glance through its pages will 
convince even the most sceptical that 
for a small sum of money such a summer 
home may be secured, with a large share 
of the conveniences of life and all housed 
in an artistic and beautiful manner. 
This is true of the summer home and is 
even more true of those houses adapted 
to the warm climates of California and 
the Southern States. 
Most of the designs are photographs of 
houses actually built, and in most cases 
the plans are given, so that the work 
ranks above a mere collection of fancy 
sketches and has the advantage of repre¬ 
senting what has actually been erected 
by architects who have given this sub¬ 
ject their attention. 
Now that so much attention is being 
given to the summer home the book 
should meet with a liberal reception and 
will be found full of value to persons 
contemplating erecting such a house. 
COLOR VALUE! 
’’ I ^HE reader of this very instructive 
work will be convinced of the im¬ 
portance of the knowledge of color value 
and its relations to light, form, propor¬ 
tion and dimension; for, whatever is 
good in interior decoration is the result 
of consistent relationship between the 
above. Mr. Clifford says, “ It is fallacy 
to assume that good color effects are

The Readers’ Library 
Of Illustrated Handy Pocket Editions of 
World Famous Books 
1 . The Type is as large and as clear as the type used in the 
usual large volumes of Standard Authors. 
2. Unabridged. Each work is complete in one volume. 
3. The Illustrations are an important feature. Each volume 
contains from eight to sixteen beautiful illustrations. These 
illustrations are not the rehashed old-fashioned pictures 
usually found in standard works but are new and drawn by 
prominent artists and interpret the stories with great fidelity. 
4. The Paper is strong and opaque. In the volumes with a 
great number of pages imported Bible paper is used. This 
paper is far superior to India paper because it makes the print 
clearer and blacker, and the discouraging difficulty of turning 
the leaves of an India paper book is entirely eliminated. 
5. The Binding. The volumes are bound uniformly in flex¬ 
ible leather, with gold stamping on back, and each volume 
has the author’s autograph signature stamped in gold 
on the side of the book ; they have gilt tops and ribbon 
markers. 
6. For the bookcase. The small size of the volumes, the rich 
binding, the desirable titles, all insure these books a welcome 
in every library.
