But what about the spelling of "Puccinni"? We fear our contemporary has, after all, been caught triptyching.
HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE.
The only way to build a house properly is to employ an architect to build it for you. All the best houses are built by architects—any architect will tell you that. But of course you will always be allowed to say that you built it, so it will come to the same thing.
The walls of an architect's office are covered with drawings of enormous public buildings which the architect has erected in every capital of Europe. There are also a few of the statelier homes of England which he has put up in his spare time.
While you are waiting you compare these with your own scheme of the six-roomed villa you propose to build.
At last you are ushered into the presence and unless a stove-pipe protruding from your waistcoat pocket suggests that you are travelling in somebody's radiators you will probably be asked to sit down, and may even be given a cigarette. There is no difficulty in opening your business. The architect can see at a glance what you have come for and says quite simply, "You want to build a house?"
"I do," you reply.
"How many reception rooms?"
