EVERY MAN TO HIS TRADE.
My dear Architect: There is one point you might as well square up before you go any
further. I understood that I was to build my house for myself to live in, not for my
neighbors to look at. But I appeal to any white man, if you haven't had a deal more to say
about the outside of the platter than the contents thereof. To be sure, it's what I might
have expected. It's a way you architects have. You can no more help thinking how a
house is going to look, than a woman can help hoping her first baby will be a beauty. I
allow it would be a first-rate thing if we could have some streaks of originality, just a
trifle more of variety, and a few glimpses of really good taste, along with the crumbs of
comfort; and I'm willing to admit that your moves in that direction, as far as I can follow
them, are all right. Still, it's a downright fact, that, unless a man is a great simpleton or a
small Croesus, he is more anxious to make his house cosey and convenient, than he is to
outshine his neighbors or beautify the landscape.
Sister Jane wants to know whether, in case one wishes to begin housekeeping on a
small scale, it would be as easy to make additions to a brick house for future need, as to a
wooden one. She doesn't ask on her own account, but for a friend of hers who is talking
of building.
I expect you'll inquire pretty soon who's running these letters,-you or I; but if we
don't sometimes show our ignorance by asking questions and making comments, how are
you going to know what sort of information to shed?
Yours,
JOHN.
