"Le Petit Manoir” in Montecito, because 
oj its unusually pictorial quality, reminds 
us of how generally this opportunity is 
neglected. Even if the pictorial quality is 
accomplished by some such frank artifice 
as the ragged shingle roof—why not? This 
kind of thing is sanctioned by its success 
in a given instance, and when it is definitely 
jised to gain a definite effect. F. L. Baxter,
