THE ANGLE AND THE ARCH 
In any architectural composition line plays an 
important part. The way various kinds of 
contours are combined will decide the attrac¬ 
tiveness and interest of a detail. This doorway 
to the home of Mr. Adolph Augenblick at 
Newark, N. J., illustrates the point. There is 
the angle of the dormer window tops and of 
the eaves; there is the low arch of the fan¬ 
light over the door; there are also the flat 
lintels of the other windows pronounced with 
dark paint. Light and shade have also been 
cleverly combined in this composition, but 
even these, in turn, depend for their value on 
the combination of contours as expressed in the 
windows, the door and the roof. Howard 
Major, architect
