   I was delighted to be able to read the article in its original   
   habitat.  (Progress in ophthalmology has made it possible for me to   
   read it, after clicking on it, despite the accompanying warnings, at   
   the age of 67.)   
      
   It is evident that the proprietors have paid *some* attention to his   
   advice; but I see no mention of a garden.  I doubt if he is turning in   
   his grave about china mugs, which he admitted were a matter of taste,   
   or even about the conversion of "Burmese Days" to "Bengal Days".   
      
   Perhaps, someday, someone will do it right -- and why not in   
   Massachusetts?
