There is no escape from it, when a human habita tion comes under discussion, - whether this habita tion take the form of a palace, a barrack, or a c& whether whole houses are to be consecrated to the use of Single. Families, or whole families are to be housed on a single floor; whether the home is to be a tenement, a studio - building, a hut in the wil derness, or cottage in a country town; whether it is to be in a hot climate or a cold one; whether its owners are rich or poor, important or obscure, Sin gle or married. To make the home successful, we must know the needs of those who are to dwell in it, their circumstances, and the relation they bear to the community in which they live. To put it briefly, these requirements are not only individual but communal. They are distinct in each instance, yet certain universal laws govern them all. A man's duties to himself must guide him on one side; his obligations to his neighbor, on the other. These he must balance.
