to the bedrooms. In the treatment of the roof
generally, the principle which influences the design
of a Swiss chalet has been adopted by making the
slopes sufficiently flat to hold the snow, which thus,
like a natural blanket, helps to keep the house
warm. The drawing reproduced is by Mr. Allen

With these examples of British designs in domestic
architecture we give some illustrations of a country

to the road, of which part is shown in one of our
illustrations, the line of frontage is broken at the
principal entrance in the centre, while the elevation
to the garden is pleasantly relieved by the semi-
circular bay and the terrace shown in another of the
illustrations. The interior accommodation of the
villa is such as would be required by an owner of

living rooms, bedrooms, dressing-rooms, guest
chambers, and-a billiard-room. The special feature
