"What a beautiful house!" "Yes, it is a most elegant mansion." "Who is building it?" "It is being built by Mr. J. Montgomery Casshe." "I should like to meet him. I want to get some one to build a house for mc." "Oh, but Mr. Casshe does not build houses for other people." "How selfish! A man who can build so well ought to be anxious to cover the whole face of the earth with his handiwork. But who are those vmkempl>k)oking people coming out of the house?" "Those are working men." "Do you mean to say that Mr. Casshe has given over such a beautiful mansion to the occupancy of mere working men?" "Certainly not. They are working on the house, putting the finishing touches." "But I understood you to that Mr. Casshe was doing the work?" "Not at all. Mr. Casshe does not work. Mr. Casshe is a gentleman." "I beg your pardon, but I am quite sure you said Mr. Casshe was building the house." "That doesn't mean he is doing the work." "Then what has he to do with the matter?" "Ho merely approves the original plans< and furnishes the money, fie himself is on the Continent, but his agents here attend to the details." "Then who is really, building the house?" "It doesn't matter who is really building it." "How strange." "It doesn't matter who does the work. The only thing that matters who gets the benefit of the work.' —- "Life." •
