Piazzas.
El,nnl he MnrHnn nnh EnrcSt-

from ne GdFf6H ana FOTCSt
We have already said that the pleasing
treatment of piazzas is one of the most diff
cult Of architectural problems. 1t is true that
charming houses with long veraudas have
been built for generations in certain Southern
countries. But although we may get valu-
able hints from them, they cannot be used as
models. Ours is rot a-truly Southern climate,
but one in which almost tropical heat alter
mates with almost Siberian cold Our more
complicated habits of life demand more COM
plicated ground plans than those which serve
for instance, for an Indian bungalow, and
every deviation from a simply-outlined and
low-roofed form makes the right architectural
use of piaZ=as more difficult. Yet until within
quite recent years the problem was hardly
recognized as such. No attempt was made
so to unite the piazza with the house, in both
form and material, that 1t should seem an in
tcgral part of 1t, and not mere attached
she'd Whatever the material of the house,
the piazza was built of wood, and 1t was sim
ply tackled on the walls without the slightest
thought of union. Its roof had no relation to
the roofs of the'hoiise, and its forms were very
slight aud fragile-the jig-saw running riot in
a vain effort to adorn it, but no serious at
tempt being made to build it beautifully.
To-day we see very great change for the
better. The piazza is .treated-with more or
less success, of coursc-as part and parcel of
the house. IL Is borne by solid substructure
instead of by isolated posts which allow the
cellar walls to he seen, or by a chicken-coOp
lattice. This substructure is often continued
around the piazza as a solid parapet, some
three feet in height, which has both artistic
| and practical merit, for it increases solidity,
and therefore dignity OF effect, and 1t screens
! the feet of the occupants from the wind and
protects them somewhat from the gaze of
| passers while interfering not at all with cool
ness or with freedom of outlook. II the house
is of brick or stone the same material is used
to build posts of the piazza, or If wood is en-
ployed simpler and more artistic forms are
chosen for them. And It is covered by an
outward sweep of the main roof of the house,
or by such n disposition of an independent
roof that 1t may play conspicuous and har-
monious part in the general outline of the
building.

ROBERT LOUIS sTEyENSON's WIFE.


The Celebrated Novelist Furnishes Ample
Material for II Romance
San FrdRcisco Dispatch ". Y. World, Dec 81.
Robert Louis Stevenson, the novelist,
who is soon expected back here from his
unsuccessful cruise for health among the
South Sea Islands, has been discussed u
good deal by the critics, but many facts
in regard to his personal history have
never been published. Stevenson first
came here about eight years ago to get
married His bride he had met in France
when she was the wife of Californian.
When Stevenson was making that trip
that bore fruit in his book, AN Inland
Voyage" he met in Paris Mrs. Samuel
Osborne of San Francisco.
She came of Dutch parentage, her
maiden name being Van Degrifft, but she
had married young Sam Osborne, who
was private secretary to Senator Stan
ford and somewhat of protege of the
railroad millionaire. She was brilliant
brunette with the vivid coloring and many
OF the tastes of a gypsy. Her husband
had gone with her on vacation, but he
had been recalled on business, and she
was then staying with friends in the
French capital. She and Stevenson fell
IN love at first sight. Their literary and
personal tastes ran in the same channels,
and the author spent much time in her
company
Her husband, Mr. Osborne, was Wild
and somewhat reckless Californian, and
soon after her return from Europe she
obtained divorce from him without OPP
position. Two years later NJ. Stevenson
came to California and welded Mrs. Os-

A STUDY IN STILL LIFE.

From ho Indianapolis Journal.
The camera in the hands of photog.

couple of enthusiastic photographers,
with an instantaneous pocket instrument

violently drunk the day before. and who
was still largely under the influence of
the ardent.
Inquired as to the reasons for wishing
TO make a counterfeit prcsentiment of the
vinous individual, they said their object
was to reform him by exhibiting to him,
on his next occasion of sobricty. pic
ture of himself taken in an advanced
stage of whisky, and that this exhibit,
thus made, would in all probability have
the same effect upon him that the sight
OF the drunken woman had upon the

moderation in his cups. The hotel peo-
pie, at firsS disinclincd to permit any
copying from still-life of the character
referred to, were induced to relent

There was no question Of his fitness for

Well-iilled houses and appreciatve audi
ences have greeted the first two nights pre-
sentatiou of Gilbert & Sullivan's new opera
1.-THE Yeomen Of the Guard.n The opera,
while not up to the standard set by the earlier
compositions OF the authors, is n bright and
pleasing piece of work, the humor and wit he
ing skillfully drawn out by a most excellent
company. Several OF the flnalcs and con
certcd numbers Of the opera attract especial
attention
without exception their work was excellent.
Miss Rices PhUJc, Miss Delard's Dame
CdruthcrS, Miss Reeds Elsie aud Miss
O'Neill's Kate, each won golden opinions.
The Sergeant Of Mr.. Mark Smith was skill
fully handled aud Mr.. Powers Point equally

sensations.

Belasco and Dc Miles new comedy "The

points and tragic shadowing arc blended in an
admirable manner aud to the evident delight Of
the large audiences which have witnessed
each rendition of the drama Well-costumed
and capitally mounted, the scenic and stage
effects are worthy OF praise. The Individual
members OF the company were all excellent n
their rolls. Miss Stanhope as lucille, Miss
Thornton's hrs. Ircs and Miss Schelps KITTY,
Mr.. Wheatcrafts John Rutherford and Mrs.
Gibbs Helen Truman, were In each case
praiseworthy presentations of character. The
greater part OF the play is laid in Washington,

The trial of Richard Brouner, charged with
having, while clerk in the Pension Office,
stolen number Of address sheets, giving them
to General Allen Rutherford, pension attor-
ney, was resumed in the Criminal Court to-
day. The case was argued to the jury by Mr..
Lipscomb for the Government and by Judge
j. j. johnson for the defendant. Judge John
son claimed that the lists, which had been
copied by Brouner before he gave them to
Rutherford, were not records or parts of re-
cords, such ms are covered by the statutes
under which this prosecution is brought-that
they were simply waste paper thrown aside by
the Department
