THE CORRUPTION OF TASTE
sir,-Mr. Fairburn appears to have hitched his wagon to the wrong stat-or is it barge-board? Certainly there are the ostentatiously vulgar among us, But are there as many as there were in the late "twenties? Nowadays there seems to be a revolting swing towards houses which look like packing cases, objects which many of us prefer to leave behind at the end of the day. Let Mr. Fairburn keep his fowl-house and his brass. Give me something which looks like a place where people live, and a goodly supply of chromium to save my wife from unnecessary drudgery.
