In this village, as in the other, all meretricious ornamentation should be avoided, whether public or private. All money available for such improvement should be spent in securing perfect neatness. In fact, the two radical requirements of good taste in all such cases are an absence of obvious money-spending, and the evidence of constant care and attention.
With correct proportions, again, of the money-making native and the money-spending native, male and female. A splendid place is this New York; splendid but terrible.
