THE NEW TEMPLE.

Plans Accepted by Building Conn
nafffee of Washington CONGREGATION.
The building committee for the new tenn
pie of the Washington congregation On
Sth street has received designs for the new
temple submitted in competition between
architects of the city, and has accepted
the plans of Stutz & Pease the well-known
architects. The successful firm has been
instructed to prepare drawings and speci-
hcations for the temple that work may
proceed as quickly as possible.
Until the specifications have been COM
pleted and turned over to the building
committee it is the desire of that commit
tee. of which William Hahn is chairman,
that nothing be published as to the plans.
1t is probable that there may be changes.
These may or may not be of such a nature
as to almost alter completely the present
plans.
The entire matter of the building of the
new temple has been left in the hands of
the committee, and it will proceed as it
sees fit. While it is the desire of the MEM
bers to begin work as soon as possible. they
do not care to unnecessarily rush things.
The actual work of construction may not
begin before the last of February or the
first of March, but as soon as the good
weather of spring permits the construction
will be hurried forward.

A Reply to "Decency."


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The item that appeared in Saturday
nights Star signed "Decency'' was read
by cyclists of both sexes with a great deal
OF amusement. We cannot imagine any
one residing in Washington, the national
capital, whose ideas are so covered with the
moss OF antiquity that he should feel
called upon to write such an article, and,
therefore, we have nothing 10 think but
that he resides in the country, possibly IN
Prince Georges county. We are astonished
at such narrow and prejudicad expressions.
If the first part of the item referred to had
alone been written, leaving out the latter
part that referred to the two gentlemen
and young girls on the tandems.'' we would
have heartily coincided with the author
However, as he continued to write and his
imagination began to get in good working
order. he overreached himself, and instead
of presenting to the public an article that
would have had the Endorsement of all good
citizens, he has brought forth something
mat is read with amusement and ridicule.
The young ladies who rode the tandems are
both of age, and possessed of sufficient pru-
dence to do nothing that would create an
unfavorable appearance. All that the writer
mad against them was that they chose to
wear the divided skirt. In this day and
generation, in this age of dress reform,
there are, OF course, multitude OF ideas on
the propriety Of certain costumes for wo-
men, All fair-minded men and women,
however, have the good common sense to
attend to their own affairs and give every
woman the privilege of choosing for ner-

Mr.. Bealr. Clo.,nx-o,, s.,.

Book lovers are having a great treat Just
now Mr.. Robert Beall is closing out busi-
ness at 4aD Pennsylvania avenue, after hay-
ing made his store for many years the
favorite resort of literary Washington. At
this time purchase by private sale is pos
sible. 50 the bargain hunters are going over
the big stock with care and are securing
much that Is extremely desirable in books
and stationery. But there Is still an abun-
dance Of all that Is first class in new and
secondhand editions. The new books are
really new: the secondhand books were
purchased because they had value, and not
merely because they were secondhand
There are. therefore, many prizes on the
shelves; some of them would be highly ap-
preciated Christmas gifts. What remains
of the stock will be disposed Of by public
auction. commencing Tuesday morning at
IL O'Clock; the second session will COM
mence at 7:8O pm. This will be repeated
each day until the last lot is disposed of.
