Then, what is your opinion. Is a cubicle made of plain

planks, say six feet high, better or not so good as a

cubicle made of curtains hanging round

Certainly, I prefer the cubicles instead of curtains. Doesnt a cubicle made of curtains look very bad? 19451

Certainly, it looks very bad, and you can look through

it sometimes.

Well, you are a fire insurance man, arent you

A great many inconveniences, since it came into operations. Well, a corner house did not require to

have a yard. I dont know whether it is the case or nor

but I have heard that the landlord must open up an open yard on his own property now. Well, supposing it

is opened out at the kitohen. He has to cut half out at the kitehen It costs a lot of money, and it injures the wall. #ell row, suppose there are several families living in the house, and you take away half of an eight feet kitchen, there is no kitchen left.
