The Stairs an Afterthought.

The old story about building house
and forgetting the staircase, which has
probably been worked off at the expense
of every young architect who has been
born since staircases were invented, was
actually realized in the case of Montagu
House, which the late dowager Duchess
of Buccleuch made famous by her en-
tertainments. When the house was near
ly finished, it was discovered that no
means of reaching the upper floors had
been provided, and the grand staircase
which had to be added considerably
marred the arrangements Of the man
