ROPERLY speaking, the original bungalow is but one-story high, with a low roof, so low that there la only a small attic space under it. Various conditions and circumstances, which some times confront the home builder, have brought to the front what Is known as the two-story bungalow. The two-story bungalow Is not unlike what we have heretofore called the story and one-halt house, the principal difference being that a low spreading effect Is emphasised, giv ing It a bungalow appearance, but, at the same time, providing considerable space on the second floor for bedrooms. Dormers and low gables are used to tha best advan tage In obtaining light, air and Increasing the size of the bedrooms. There is probably no style of Inexpensive home which affords such a variety In de signs as the two-story bungalow. The first story is subject to all the variety of designs permitted In one-story bungalows and the second story gives the designer op portunities which cannot be had In a one story house. One of the principal advan tages of the two-story bungalow is a sav ing of space. Every one's lot does not per mit of spreading the bungalow out enough to include all the . bedrooms desired on one floor. Then, too, the two-story bunga low is cheaper to build when a certain number of rooms Is required or desired. When a bungalow Is bulit very small and Includes only a living room, dining room, one bed room, bath room and kitchen, it can be built at less cost than anything In tha two-story house line, but when you desire to Include in addition to the above mentioned rooms a library or den and two or three more bed rooms, linen closets, etc., it Is necessary to spread the house out over such a great area t!)at It re quires considerable mors foundation and roof than is necessary for the average house, and since the finishing up of each individual room costs the same as In a two-story bungalow or a straight two-story house, tha cost of this additional founda tion and. roof would bs In access of what a two-story bungalow would cost. Also, sines a houHe with a great many rooms on one floor must necensarlly be qulta broad, the roof, in order to havs a proper pitch, would be so high that there la prac tically a second story in the attic, whether It Is used or not. The large one-story bungalow Is usually mora expensive to build than one would think from its simple, even sometimes rus tie, appearance. Rusticity in buildings MR.

This projection should never be less than two and one half feet. . On . the other hand, it should never be carried to the extreme, suggest ing a man's hat on a small boy; tha exact projection of the eaves depends upon the size and shape of the house. This and many other Important details are not gov erned by rule, but should be left to a competent designer. The bungalow should always include at least three things: A large porch, a large living room and a large fireplace. You will notice that the sise Is emphasised in each instance. A bungalow without a fire place would be as much of an anomaly as Romeo and Juliet without a Romeo, The bungalow should suggest generosity In all Its details, even the front door should be unusually wide, and it is needless to say that no windows should be less than three feet wide and from four to five fert wide in the living room. Arranging the stairway to ascent from the living room Is always permlnalble In a two-story bungalow, although it can be separated from the living room and placed In a hall by itself If desired. The dormers on a bungalow should be low and broad with considerable projection to the eaves. The upper lights to the windows look best if divided. There are a nurrfber of designs which look well. The division csn be made by either the wood bars or leaded. While any materials can be used on the exterior of a bungalow, there are two styles of exterior that seem to be made especially for It. These are the shingled wall and the rough cast cement wall. The shingles can be laid In a number of way that will break the monotony of the plain shingled wall. The style used should be governed somewhat by the general style of the house. A pleasing way Is to place the shingles (on the walls) alternately, eight and two Inches to the weather. This requires no more shingles than to place them in regular rows of five inches to the weather, and the appearance is 'both original and attractive. A cement ex terlor an the two-story bungalow looks the best when only carried one-story high with gables and dormers shingled. To carry the cement wall up into the Becond story gives too massive an appearance for a bungalow. There is no reason why a bungalow should not be just as convenient in every way as a full two-story house. The ex terlor wall of a bungalow looks the best If not too regular; outside chimneys, bay windows, oriole windows, etc., help to break up the wall surface and give It character. Windows placed In groups . al ways look well In a bungalow If proptrly designed and located.
