that each one is accessible from two bedrooms, counting the outdoor sleeping room as one. The linen and clothes closets are so placed that they occupy the least possible amount of space. The central hall is more in the nature of a corridor running around the four sides of the stair-case well, and at the back is a long window seat built beneath a group of windows that look out over the court and pergola.

The matter of interior woodwork and general scheme of color and decoration would depend very largely upon the part of the country in which the house is built. Its design is primarily that of a California house and reflects the spirit which rules the new architecture that is springing up in that country. Therefore it would seem quite in keeping to suggest that the inside of the house be finished after the well-known California style, because no other would be so completely in harmony with the plan of the exterior.

Living so much out of doors, the Californians almost instinctively make the transition between outdoors and indoors as little marked as possible by finishing the interior of their houses in the most natural way.
