Good Fridays snowstorm.

Snow commenced falling yesterday morn
ing, and in couple of hours the first sprites
had thrown a mantle of crystal loveliness
over the trees and plants of the city fully ms
beautiful as the robe with which spring de-
lights to invest them. The soft gray hue Of
the skies harmonized the elements of the
scene and were the appropriate background
of the picture. While all the parks and
streets of the city were decorated, as If by
trolls and elves and jotuns, for midwinter
frolic, the Smithsonian grounds stood out in
supreme loveliness. Approaching from the
north the spectacle was one of enchanting
beauty. The leailess trees, among which only
eAe silver poplar was beginning to bud, stood
up like crystal statues, quaint picturesque,
and chaste. The budding branches of the
poplar hung down in fluffy curves Of ara
besques. The delicate filaments Of the elm
toamed in tilagred crystal against the soft
gray sky. The glossy green of the holly, the
conord emerald of the larch, and the the dark,
strong, graceful forms of the white pine lent
the charm of variety to the snow-tpped
frost-crowned branches of the decdma. At
every step through the grounds a new visitor
of beauty, bewildering and enchanting, burst
in its pearly glories upon the eye. To the
south the warm hues of the institute con-
trasted richly and pleasingly with the opal
escent grays of the sky. Every tree was n
work Of beauty, every shrub cleaned in the
softest of glitters, every plant and bush stood
out as incidents in picture of fairy frostwork
that charmed and riveted the gaze.
