assumes the stamp of individuality and completeness, unfamiliar
under the old system.
Every craftsman should be an artist, as every artist should be
a craftsman ; for no one can thoroughly comprehend design without
a fundamental idea of construction.
Take any of the pieces of furniture designed by E. A. Taylor,
examine every line, note each detail, and complete rationalism of

arrangement of complementaries, almost any colour, particularly
some of those most strongly condemned, can be successfully
used in the decoration of the house.
