Fuhloa the roof In any way you pleaie. give the eevee a elx-tnch projec tion and you have bat a eottase. Fashion the roof as you please, en a one-etory home, give the root from three to five fet projection, and yon have a bunga low. In the extreme western states, espe cially throughout California, no attempt la ever made to nee the attic apace for living purposes. Thle makes It po.il b I to have the roof very much lower, wntch gtvae It. a mora attractive appiaranre than to have a bungalow roof too steep. In colder climates, where there Is snow on the ground for st least three months s year, the pitch must be steeper so that the wind can blow the snow from .he roof, aa much a possible, for melting snow will rot shingles quicker than any thing else. Having Increased the pitch of the mot tor thin practical purpose, fie man ta the northern elates would luvarlably see the possibility of using the larger amount of apace In the at tie for soma practical purpose. Since spreading a bungalow out too much upon the ground Increaaae lie expense to a considerable extent this space In under the root la used for one or two bedrooms. In this way, the bungalow becomes practically 4 story and a half bouse, but having ap parently vry Utile roof and wide eave projection, and a certain feeling of .tudled rusticity about It, It passes for a bungalow, for want of a better name. Also, to distinguish It from the ene- alory bungalow, with practically ao attic. t la eometlmea called a two-story bunsa .ow. , t The moot common type of bungalow r.wt Is the hip roof, known by come peo p.e as ths square roof, a root which slants into a peak from all sides, but the moat picturesque root and the one giving .he moat amount of room on the second Ijot, with the least expense for dormers, i a roof of broke gables, arranged to l.ve aa uniuue and plctureeque effect as P.Hibie. - While bungalow roofs are frequently g s a a I ii i ' 1 fmim. .fli.W III,'- v' MP CUUSEN'S BOOK tlss Art, eisace aad lenllmeaA of XosaebaUaiag.'

While they did not sprlag from the same source, the bungalow style and the j i-rat lam an style are fast amalgamating into one and the same thldg. - The sim plicity of tha latter being; combined with the convenience ot the former. While the low, squatty appearance of the bungalow is one of Ita attractive features, such a borne should not be built between two. tall two-story houses. It gives It too much of a shut In, Insignifi cant appearance. Bungalows should be built tn a neighborhood of buagalowa. ot else built upon lota, preferably . corner lots, wide enough to be distinctly separate from all other buildings, having a low, broad, spreading appearance.
