It might be well to send a commis- sion to Japan to investigate the do- mestio habits of the Japanese. Japan is a country of small houses. It is also a country of small people and a oountry with a climate. We cannot adapt the Japanese house in England We might get a hint, however, as to the best means of making much of a little space.
