      AN UNUSUALLY INTERESTING BUNGALOW
of the house between the two gables     is a
recessed court, paved with   red cement cut
into squares like tiles and roofed over with a
pergola of which the beautiful construction is
shown in the    de-
tail  given of this
court.
    The large porch
at the side of the
house   is intended
for    an   outdoor
living  and  dining
room    and  corre-
sponds   closely in
arrangement    with
the   rooms  which
open upon it.   Its
construction is the
same    as that  of
the   court, except
that it is sheltered by a wide-
eaved roof instead of a pergola
and is so arranged that it can     corDrLooR~DRO~¹LAt~
be easily closed in for cold or
stormy weather.   At the end next the living
room there is a large fireplace built of split
stone, which exactly corresponds with the fire-
place in the indoor living room. A good fire
of logs on this outdoor hearth gives the same
effect of warmth and cheer as a camp fire.
If casements were placed all around the porch
so that it could be entirely
closed in time of storm and
cold, it might be an excellent
idea to floor it smoothly with
wood    for dancing;  but if
                                         and wind soon roughen the best wood
floor.
                                           The house is rich in fireplaces,
for not only
                                         are there the large chimneypieces,

remainder of
                                           the house, another flue is necessary
for the
                                           kitchen range.
                                             From the court the entrance
door opens
                                           into a small square hall, which
