House and Garden 
ness of the bun¬ 
galow in the gen¬ 
eral landscape 
taken in connec¬ 
tion with the 
character of the 
neighboring 
houses. It would 
be ethically dis¬ 
courteous to a 
neighborhood 
of trimly built 
homes to ob¬ 
trude a rough 
mountain cabin 
in their midst, 
while this latter 
would be clearly indicated for a bungalow 
in or near a primitive forest growth. In 
any event, the house owner is relieved, in 
building his bungalow, from the consideration 
of expensive finish either exterior or interior. 
To those who do not know this delightful 
manner of living, a new sensation and one full 
of wholesome experiences is at hand, while for 
the children it is an ideal summer life. In its 
more general aspects the bungalow is to a land 
outing precisely what the simpler form of non- 
mobile houseboat is to the water. 
The special 
adaptability of 
the bungalow 
for week-end 
use is quite as 
important a fea¬ 
ture in its devel¬ 
opment as is its 
use for a sum¬ 
mer cottage in 
the usual sense 
of that expres¬ 
sion. From Fri¬ 
day or Saturday 
to Monday at 
the seashore or 
mountain-side, 
where one is looking for relaxation from 
business or household cares, a less carefully 
differentiated plan is indicated. I he simple 
elements of a house with everything at 
hand, and all on one floor, is a bungalow, 
and that is precisely what is required for 
a week-end party. During the absence 
of the party in town the bungalow requires 
practically no attention. But whatever 
the method of using it the bungalow stands 
as a distinctive type of house, well worthy 
of attention.
