Roof garden effects are growing in popular
ity in Washington no less than in New York,

city they are confined to establishments of
public character such as the Madison Square
Garden and like places, in Washington they
are confined exclusively for the present to
private It5iUcuctS. lut luQONdllOn was
started year since, in May, when at the
grand ball given at the British embassy in
honor of the Queens birthday the fiat roof of
the large porte cochere was somewhat altered
to give it the semblance of an upper porch,
with overhead stretched a gay scarlet and
white awning. The window at the front of
the upper corridor opened down to the iioor
and was used as an entrance door to the roof
garden that was lined on all sides with grow
ing plants. This place since that time has
been constantly used by the British ambas-
sador and his family as O favorite sitting
place at night in the early summer, and was
no less popular with the guests at dinner
parties as delightfully."- cool spot in which 10
enjoy the after-dinner cigars.

that followed in the wake of this roof garden
is that of Mr.. Mum, of Chicago who some

house on Scott Circle that cost the original
owner his reelection. Subsequently the
house was occupied for a season by the family

awning of striped canvas and literally fitted
out with comfortable chairs and lounges on
which the occupants OF the same can see
