one chooses to put it so, running bond 
might be termed a degenerate form of 
Dutch cross bond with all the headers 
left out. Take out the alternate courses 
of headers and bring the courses of 
stretchers together and you have running 
bond. One is tempted to remark that this 
is only an example of its being but a step 
from the sublime to the ridiculous. 
The bonds hitherto mentioned are the 
most usual kinds, although there are 
others and one also meets with special 
adaptations of recognized types, but it is 
quite sufficient for general purposes to re¬ 
member the five enumerated. In fact, 
many people, who are supposed to have 
some knowledge of such matters, have dif¬ 
ficulty in keeping the differences clear. 
Before leaving the subject, attention 
should be directed to two examples of 
walls built entirely of headers. In the 
Bryce house in Annapolis the vertical 
joints are broken and the effect is some¬ 
what similar to the grains in an ear of 
Country Gentleman corn; in the Colony 
Club in New York, the vertical joints are 
unbroken and the effect is rather startling. 
One eminent architectural critic branded it 
as ‘‘immoral brickwork.” Of course, it 
would be impossible for it to hold together 
were it not for the Portland cement in our 
modern mortar. 
What the Period Styles Really 
Are 
( Continued, from page 84) 
used in libraries and dining-rooms with 
most effective and dignified results. 
The best period of the style of Louis 
XV is very beautiful and is delightfully 
suited to ball-rooms, small reception- 
rooms, boudoirs, and some bedrooms. In 
regard to these last one must use discre¬ 
tion, for one would not expect one’s aged 
grandmother to take real comfort in one. 
Nor does this style appeal to one for use 
in a library, as its gayety and curves 
would not harmonize with the necessarily 
straight lines of the bookcases and rows 
of books. Any one of the other styles 
may be chosen for a library. 
The English developed the dining-room 
in our modern sense of the word, while 
the French used small ante-chambers, or 
rooms that were used for other purposes 
between meals, and I suppose this is 
partly the reason we so often turn to an 
English ideal for one. There are many 
beautiful dining-rooms done in the styles 
of Louis XV and XVI, but they seem 
more like gala rooms and are usually dis¬ 
tinctly formal in treatment. Georgian fur¬ 
niture, or as we so often say, Colonial, is 
especially well suited to our American life, 
as one can have a very simple room or one 
carried out in the most delightful detail. 
In either case the true feeling must be 
kept and no startling anachronisms should 
be allowed; radiators, for instance, should 
be hidden in window-seats. This same 
style may be used for any room in the 
house, and there are beautiful reproduc¬ 
tions of Chippendale, Adam, Hepplewhite,

THOSE VELVETY LAWNS 
which everyone admires, with their smooth, level surface, full even growth and freedom from weeds show the 
intelligent use of DUNHAM ROLLERS (Patented) 
Those tufts heaved up by the frost must be rolled flat and the roots forced back to the soil or the 
grass will die. Dunham rollers are so easy to handle that a child can keep the lawn in perfect 
condition. Sectional construction permits Dunham rollers to be turned on their axis without 
injuring the turf. Send for our book “The Proper Care of Lawns” which explains 
many things about lawn making and keeping with which you may not be familiar.
