The EDMUNDS COTTAGE.

When Senator Edmunds decided that
he would build him house, he secured
site at the corner of Twenty-irst
street and Massachusetts, avenue. It
is about two blocks away from the
Blaine house. which fronts upon
Dupont Circle. This house is as Pc
culiar in it's architecture as it's owner
in his methods of dong business. The
house cost $4,000, but is very modest
and unassuming in its appearance. 1t
is a style OF house which will be appre-
ciated by Senators and members.
The basement is divided into a large
Office and an ante-room, so that bust
mess callers upon Mr.. Edmunds can
see him without entering his house.
The second floor is really the first
floor of the house. The wine-room is
also next to the Office, while the kitch-
en- Is in the back part of the house. 1t
is model house in every way, and is
in keeping with the Senator's means
and business.

THE BAYARD HOUSE. GARLAND s HOUSE.
Mr.. Bayard, the Secretary of State,
lives in modest house. two stories and
mansard high above a very good
basement. 1t is plain red brick with
a porch in front. The rooms in the
house are not very large. Space is
gained by the depth, as the house runs
back nearly eighty feet. The front is
not over twenty-eight feet. 1t is stu
ated upon high terrace, just around
from the circle where Wards statue of
Gen. Thomas stands. This terrace is
known as Highland Terrace. The
houses built along its line are at least
fifty feet above the level of the street.
The carriage drive to it is up very
steep incline, and when you are at the
very gate you have to climb up steps
corresponding to those going to the
second floor of a house, before you
reach the porch. 1t is next to the old
house in which Senator Edmunds so
long lived. Justice Miller lives at the
right of Mr.. Bayard. At the end of
the row towards Fourteenth street is
the old house built by Crawford when
he was Secretary of tho Treasury, This
house is still in good, condition. 1t
was occupied by Marshall Jewell when
he was in Grants cabinet. Around
this circle are plumber of well-known
houses: The great square house of
Judge Wylie is one of the oldest in the
neighborhood. Senator Morrill,. of
Vermont, has very handsome house
on this circle. Four or five steps down
Massachusetts avenue, east from Four
teenth street, Robert Lincoln lived
when he was Secretary of War. A few
doors below where Robert Lincoln
lived is Attorncy-General Garland 8

the Postmaster-General. Directly south
of the circle and abutting upon it is the

Baltimore ''happy couple knelt on a
rug of pink and red roses when the
clergyman pronounced them one, last
week, and the bridal gown was not of
conventional satin, but composed en-
tlrely of Valcnciennes lace, caught with
tiny white birds and natural orange
blossoms. Now, if this isn't novelty,
nothing at these fashionable ceremon-
les can be, and Baltimore deserves to
be called the banner city for having

The contrast between him and such a

He is not to be mentioned in connec-
