TUE ARCHITECT.
Determining at the very outset that Iny mouse
should be perfectly planned and thoroughly
bu,lt. I selected the prominent architect OF Chi
cago, A1r. C. F. Thomas, to prepare the De-
signs and superintend the work Of building. ais
efforts in my case have been we'll worthy OF his
brilliant reputation The daaign OF the house,
the arrangement OF its Interior, and the UNIFORM
excellence OF its construction. are themes OF un-
qualified pleasure to my family, my friends ana
myself. It Is hardly necessary for me- to REFER
to Mr. Thomas eminence as an architect, for
that is matter OF general fame. lcannot help,
however, bearing indiyidu.l testimony co h1s
genius, his courtesv. his business energy. and
lis lnyariaplo fair-deal1ng. His reputation as
master OF the classic aud other standard models
is as widespread as 1t Is most justly meflted.
THE sToSE-woEK.
After a thorough investigation I decided to
employ the services OF Messra. Boldenweck i
Heune, of Nos. II to 23 East Tyler street. and
the result has proved the wisdom OF my 1udg-
| ment. These gentlemen bring an intelligence
aud energy to bear in their business which u the
best assurance Of auccess. They furnished all
| the stone needed for building purposes through

designs OF the architect. The stone-cntsing is
| doue in an artistic manner. with the most care
fnl attention to Details This hrn did the stone

| dences. among which are those OF Perry d.
smith and q. P. Smith, in ar1stocratic Aldine

| The interior finish OF my house ha8 been
greatly admired, and I think with good reason,
for was very particular that it should be done
m the best possible manuer. The result was
more th.n satisfactory. Not only ara the woods

add that the woodwork, the stalr-buldlne, the
