EXPERIENCE KEEPS A DEAR SCHOOL.

MY DEAR ARCHITECT: We will let the sliding-doors slide, but hold on to the bay-
windows. I've acted upon your suggestion, and called on Miss Jane to help me through
the kitchen. She is studying the matter and will report to you soon. Meantime, will you
give directions about other inside work? I want it to be ornamental and modern in style.
Shall finish mostly in hard wood,-oak, walnut, or chestnut, perhaps mahogany and
maple. Please give me your opinion on that point. What do you think of graining where


hard wood is not used? Shall probably carpet throughout, and hope you will not
change dimensions of rooms to spoil the fit of them. What about wainscoting halls or any
of the rooms? Suppose common floors will answer, and common plastering for the walls,
if I paper; but shall I,-or do you recommend frescoing; and what do you say to cornices
and other stucco-work?
I've no time to go over all the points in your last. Some of them seem well put, others a
little wild. But I give them a fair hearing and suppose you won't insist upon my adopting
them. Am beginning to think I've a good deal to learn, and ought, I suppose, to be well
satisfied to learn, in some other school than that of experience.
Truly,
FRED.
