THOSE who have lived in the top
floor apartment of a flat build
ing and those who have lived in
k a. Htory-and-a-half bungalow with a
flat-pitched roof will appreciate the
relief from the stifling hea of mid
Bummer afforded by the teep gabled
roof of this cement stucco house.
Homes of the type pictured here are
found In certain parts of northern
France, and many are being built in
Californa and other states. It is
safe to say that as their comfort and
livable qualities become better
known in this country, houses of this
type will be much in vogue every
where. Arched openings at either end of
the house make an attractively bal
anced front exposure The one at
the right hand leads to a shelter
ing recessed entrance porch, and
thence Into the'large entrance hall,
which really is part of the 12 by 19
foot living room adjoining. A con
venient clothes closet might well be
placed at the far end of the hall
under the stairs.
The other arched opening is one of
three which make a most pictur
esque terrace perch, connected with
and adjoining tha opposite end of the
living room. Screened in and fitted
up with a coucJi hammock and a
smoker's stand or sewing machine
accessories, it is a most delightful
place to enjoy a summer afternoon.
Glazed, it adds another room to the
house in winter, suitable for a chil
dren's play room and one which will
assist materially in keeping the re
mainder of the house comfortably
warm.
In the living room itself a central
fireplace dominates all. Just be
hind, to one ide, is the dining room.
In one corner of which is a built-in
colonial cabinet, the design of which
date back to an early period. Such
cabinets may now be had from the

reasonable prices.
Through a double .swinging door,

means of relief should the room be
uncomfortable. A built-in pantry
case and kitchen cabinet combined,
and a closet for the broom, garbage
can and what-not are deftly ar
ranged so as to be material step
savers. Probably a better place than
inside the kitchen for the refrigera
tor would be a small covered closet
placed on the back porch. Just out
side the door. It should be well in
sulated from the heat of the sun.
The kitchen door might be moved to
one wide and thus provide space in
the corner for a small table.
A conveniently arranged and
roomy upper floor is found at the
head of the stairs. Each of two
large bedrooms has two clothes clos
ets. The other has one. The bath
room and linen closet are also found
here. Two or more wide opening
casement windows provide good ven
tilation for each bedroom. The attic
up above also nsures a comfortable
temperature.
The house has been designed to be
built of sand-floated, cream-colored
cement, plaster on plain tile.
Cement plaster on metal lath is
used on the wall back of the kitchen
range and for the basement ceiling
over-the heating plant and coal stor
age, which we are told, are vulner
able to fire. i
There is a basement under the
rear portion of the house provided
with a concrete floor and walls
which Insure dryness. and protection
against rata and vermin. This make
it especially suitable for storage of
food supplies and as a place to do
up the family washing.
For the exterior color scheme we
have, contrasted against the cream-
colored stucco, bottle-green window
blinds, white trim. and a variegated
shingle roof.
Most favorable results are effected
if'the house be located so as to front
LIFE ON SLEEPERS IS GAY
AS ENGINEER TAKES DETOUR
When Car Hits Bump, Man in Berth Below Comes Up and Strikes
Passenger Smartly Through Mattress.
THIS really won't be much of
a sleeping car story because
there Isn't any snoring in it.
That's how you tell about sleep
ing car stories. lou are never
quite sure where the scenes are
laid till somebody snores. then
everybody snores, and you know,
sure enough, that it's about a
sleeping car.
But I toured the White moun
tains (which, as the guide book
tells you, are older than any other
American mountains, geologically
Hpeakdng, and are singularly beau
tiful, although not so altitudinous
as the Sierras and the mountains
of Oregon, Alaska and Alberta), in
an upper berth, and I know every
dip, spur and angle of the trip.
I know this because we had a
trick engineer who seemed to think
that stunt running could be done
just as well in a cab as in the fusil
age or whatever the headquarters
of an airship is called, and who
seemed to be perfectly right.
Also there was some comment by
the- passengers, but this all related
to the engineei, so they are not
entitled to any special credit, and
will receive none from me.
I took the upper berth for the
reason that all people take upper
berths because the sleeping car
company, always greedy for gain,
had sold all the lower berths,
which, paradoxically, command
higher prices, before I got to the
station.
I might not have got into it so
early, and thereby missed some of
the scenery, if anybody in the
smoking room had listened to me.
But they were all busy talking
about golf scores and when I
chipped in a modest word or two
about mine, they looked at me with
raised eyebrows a second, then
continued their conversation just as
if il wasn't there.
Well, after that. V all intents
and purposes, I wasn't there, or if
1 was there 1 was so imperceptible
as to- be negligible. When one man
looks at you with raised eyebrows
you can ask him who the deuce
he thinks he is looking at or make
some other such crushing retort.
But when six men look at you with
twelve raised eyebrows, and then
all suddenly resume the conversa
tion you interrupted with your "On
the fifth hole at the Bretton Woods
course" you sort of fade out.
I got Into my upper berth with
out the aid of the porter's ladder
( incidentally evoking a low growl
from the occupant of the lower
whom I inadvertently kicked in the
small of the back on the way up),
and begun to tour.
As might be expected, the road
out of the White mountains goes
down hill. But ft doesn't go straight
down hill, and it doesn't go steadily
down hill. There are zig-zags in
it and there are bumps in it. The
engineer knows in advance where
an inese are. ne must . nave a
road map or something.
He sneaked up on the first bump
as if to take it by surprise, and
when he got within striking dis
tance he yanked out the throttle
and leaped for it. But the bump
knew he was coming and merely
arched its back and waited.
I don't know what happened to
the engine, but the bump never
budged. When our car hit it the
man in the berth below me came
up, till occupying the horizontal
position and hit me smartly through
the mattress. I took up the leap,
in the manner of a relay race, and
htt the rail over my head and we
both landed bark where we came
from at about the uie time.
Contemporaneously a lady In the
berth oppisite me cried out:
"Merciful heavens! Where is
Egbert?"
I identified Egbert almost im
mediately as the little child who
had somehow or other filtered Into
my berth over the curtain rail.
Kgbert was"a sullen child. He
seemed to think I ; was trying to
kidnap him, and as soon as he re
gained his breath began shrieking
to his mother that a bad man had
got him.
Seizing him by the collar of his
little blue pajamas I lowered him to
the floor and he dived out of sight
like a rabbit in a burrow, but his
homing sense was not true and he
dreadfully frightened a perfectly
strange spinster in the berth next
to the one out of ' which the en
gineer, when bumping the bump,
had, shaken him.
By and by his mother-came and
got him, and all was well till the
engineer, who had been stalking a
zig-zag. flnaHy overtook It and
twisted the train about it with a
corkscrew motion . that set us all
oscillating on our shelves like the
tails of very friendly dogs.
Two more bumps and two more
zig-zags followed, neither being tn j
the least surprised by the engineer,
and then a curious thing happened, i
The engineer took a detour. j
I wouldn't have believed before
that time that railroad trains ever !
took detours, but this one was un
mistakably doing so.
Almost at right angles we turned
off. and then began a succession of
little ascents and descents and sud
den stoppings such as occur when
a car gets mired down in a deep
road, or sinks into the mud on one
side. -
It became evident very soon that
the engineer's judgment was bad.
He shouldn't have taken this de
tour. Far better for- him and for
us had he waited till' the road was
repaired or driven on ahead and
taken his chances with It as it was.
Sometimes we stopped altogether
while the engine sent out a series
of staccato but futile puffs which
got us nothing but a slight forward
impulse now and then.
When this happened there would
be a long wait, presumably to en
able the train crew to get out and
put on the chains.
Then we would labor heavily up
out of the morass into which we
had sunk, pose on the brink of the
next rise, and violently shoot for
what appeared to be miles and miles
dowji a steep declivity.
At the end of one of these we
struck the track again crosswise
and a number of people got out of
their .berths,, not, by design, but
because they just naturally kept on
going while the train stopped.
It took fliite a while and a great
number of screams to restore them
to their proper places. When this
was done the engineer and his as
sistants . had - jacked the train up
and got it on the regular track.
He avoided detours therafter, but
was unable to .see a bump ahead
without making a long nose dive
for it, with the result that I saw
considerably more of little Kgbert
than I wanted to see.
Curiously enough everybody
seemed fairly normal the next min
ute, except Egbrt. who was sul
lenly engaged in stropping a large
jacknife xn hia shoe, which made
me rather glad we were out of the
White mountains.
"Sort of rough weather last
night!" 1 said to - the conductor
when he came through to say that
we all would have to change cars
at the next station.
"Cudn't be," said the conductor.
J'Staha was shinin' all night, bright
as buttons."
