Have you read this Heat Primer?
THE peculiar thing about the house-heating problem is that it isn’t a
problem. The Primer tells how simple it is. T he size of a house, its
arrangement, its construction and its location are no excuse for insufficient
heat or extravagant coal bills. The Primer sets aside such excuses.
The way steam heats and the way hot water heats are little known to
house owners. The Primer explains. The wonderful success of
Boilers and
Radiators
in meeting every heating need, keeping down fuel bills, providing healthful
and adequate heat in every kind of a house in the severest weather is also
well worth knowing. The Primer gives the details.
We send the Primer free on
request. Whoever is building or
planning to change from an old
fashioned equipment to a modern,
healthful, trouble-and-fuel-saving
system should read this Primer
and then talk with his heater man.

example of this firm’s work—“El Fuere-
idis,” a great Spanish-American villa at
Montecito, California.
From the office of Frank Miles Day and
Brother comes the intimately picturesque
studio and garden for Miss Violet Oakely,
the great mural painter who has picked up
the brush laid down by the late Edwin A.
Abbey. “Cogslea” is an estate abounding
in the personality of its chatelaine and re-
plete with evidences of the sympathetic
skill of its architects.
Duhring, Okie and Ziegler, of Phila-
delphia, have attained in the house which
they designed for the Hon. Philander C.
Knox, at Valley Forge, as fine an adapta-
tion of that much-abused style known as
“Georgian Colonial” as may ever be met
with. It is successful, as any building in
that style needs must be, by reason of the
details which the architects have not put
into it, rather than through what they did.

The sort of house which an architect
wishes that his client would allow him to
build is shown in a spirited little sketch
from the office of Janssen and Abbot, of
Pittsburgh, a firm now accorded a high
place in American domestic architecture.
Two Philadelphia firms, Charles Barton
Keen, one of the most virile and conserva-
tive designers of today, and Mellor and
Meigs, among the most prolific and con-
sistently excellent firms of American archi-
tects, are represnted by many photographs.
The present space is far too restricted to
begin to speak of Charles A. Platt—prob-
ably the most significant figure in the prac-
tice of architecture since the death of
Stanford White. Here is his splendidly
achieved adaptation of an Italian villa,
the McCormick house at Lake Forest,
Ill., and here is also an excellent house at
New London, Conn, “Eastover,” a type
of the early American Colonial architec-
ture of the South, a house of brick with a
great sloping roof and straight, tapering
chimneys.
“American Country Houses” is an illus-
trated review which does not belie its
title, for the examples of work between its
covers are indisputably designs for the
country, and are no less plainly American,
be it said to the permanent credit of the
profession in the United States. C. M. P.
