to do but sit on the balcony with a
pillow for an arm rest and wait for
nature to restore the broken member,
and in the mean time learn what
can from observation and read or
write if so inclined.
My room is very pleasant, opening
to the north on a balcony overlook
ing the street and park, the other
side opens into court in the center
of which is. the long dining room
entered at either end through spaces
devoted to plants and foliage.
The dining room is rooted, sides
enclosed by lattice work, balance of

The house is succession Of large
airy rooms built around this court,

half the walls are folding doors ex-
tending nearly to the high ceilings
and can be closed entirely or in part
by lattice shutters OF solid doors as
occasion may require but usually
both are left open night and day
with nothing to obstruct the free
circulation Of air. &
