kONEN AS DESIGNERS.

" HE qualifications of my sex for

selves in curious Us well as pra Ctical
ways, writes Haryot Holt Ca
hoOn.
woman architect, who lives in Brook
lyn and has scored many successes in the
plans of Brooklyn houses. as well as in.
artistic dwellings, in tie suburbs, informs
me that she builds no two houses alike. for
the simple reason that since women them
selves have ventured to have a word to say
IN the construction of their own homes they
object to having their house design repro
duced.
For example. one OF her patrons said
TO the architect the other day: Now, l
want you to promise me that you will
not copy my windows. especially the four
windows having stained glass panel over
them in my diningroom. l won't have
them unless you promise to give me the
exclusive right. as far as your power goes"
This seems a good deal like reducing
houses to the level of millinery. and under
the feminine regime the chances are by no
means slight when the day will come when

domiclle essentials will be changed with
