This is so important a matter, and has so much to do with success or failure, that it seems entitled to special consideration. The first question for a man in such case to settle, is that of his needs, both present and prospective. This is not always easy. In making up his list of may wants and must wants, the future householder will often be as much puzzled as was little Frank, in Miss Edgeworth's charming story. In the case of every man there will be some peculiarities of disposition or of condition which should be taken into the account. One of the first points to be examined is the relations of the lot to its neighborhood and to other parts of the village. A man doing business in the city, naturally prefers a home near the railroad station or steamer landing.
