which there is hardly a limit in the way of variety.
Some of your questions have led me a little way from the building toward the furnishing, but I've tried to dispose of them categorically, and am now ready for another lot.
LETTER XXX.
From Miss Jane.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND ARCHITECTURE, POTATOES AND POSTSCRIPTS.
MR. ARCHITECT: Dear Sir,—After so long an indirect acquaintance through our mutual friends, it is quite time we were formally introduced. Allow me to present myself: Sister Jane, spinster; native of New England, born to idleness, bred to school-teaching; age not reported, temperament hopeful, abilities average; possessor of a moderate competence, partly acquired, mainly inherited; greatly overestimated by a friendly few, somewhat abused as peculiar (in American idiom "funny") by strangers; especially interested in
the building of homes, and quite willing to help Mr. Fred carry out his ambitions in that direction by any suggestions I am able to make.
