THE MODERN HOUSE.

We all know—and many of us squirm at the prospect— what a multitude of pink-roofed bungalows are being built in England. But ugly though many. are, and set in places whence they should have been prohibited, there is evident a searching after a form of house that shall suit the new life. It may be of service to the experimenters to call attention to a new form of house that is being freely built in Belgium. The house has two enormous double doors on the ground floor facing the road or street. One leads to the garage, the other into a hall. The hall is, so to say, the only living room on the ground floor, which consists of kitchen and offices. All so-called reception rooms and bedrooms are upstairs.
