Professor Paul Schultze-
Naumburg, who some
years ago had his circle
of admirers as a painter,
is now one of the busiest
architects and interior
decorators in Germany.
He has contributed much
to the correction of taste
by fighting against the
confusion of style caused
by thoughtless imitation.
He is convinced that
individualism in house-
building and house-fur-
nishing must mean first
of all practicability and
that practicability is iden-
tical, or, at all events,
compatible with comfort
and beauty. When he
builds a castle or a villa,
his first considerations are
the requirements of the
occupier—the walls must
grow round the man as
the shell grows round the
snail. He carefully avoids
unnecessary ornaments,
every part must have its
logical meaning. He is
not at all anxious about
late Lord Linlithgow, and
another of the memorial
to the late Lord Nun-
burnholme. The group
and figure of a boy shown
in one of the illustrations
that accompany these
notes are models in pro-
gress for a bronze group
of Peter Pan calling forth
with the notes of his pipe
the little fairy people that
live among the gnarled
roots of the trees. The
