A Communication.

To THE EDITOR OF The COURIER: your
unknown correspondent" wishes t.
rush into print just once more, ard thit
time for quite different reasons. First
TO thank you for your amiable reception
OF my letter about the Administration
Arch, and TO- the fiattering tone OF your
reference to it. Second, to remove the
impression you have formed OF your
correspondents calling. attainments and
sex.

either one of them. am obliged to
you for finding my chirography sym
metricaI and distinct ah, it is not
that OF an architect. l am not technic-
ally wise. i am not citizen OF Omaha.
/ am not even a man. Dear Editor,
your experiences should have shown
you the feminine quality OF your IN
known assailants communication, il not
OF her handwriting! And when you
stop to think of it. you will see that the
architects in-chief of an enterprise such
as is now taking shape, could have
neither time nor disposition to 20 into
letter writing in defense of their build.

you can't seriously think they would fall
to admiring their own work in public.
after the manner of my very outspoken
letter. Nc, / am sure they leave all
that to such onlookers as may have
leisure and inclination for it.
AS for me. / don't recall anything
very technical in my bit Of writing. The
examples | gave were mostly recol-
lections of travel, verified by sketch
books, and one Of the examples is ex-
tremely like the Omaha arch, proper
ton, shape and roof and all. IL YOU
have never seen anything like the top
OF the Arch" would like to remind
you that novelty is usually a desider:ium
for exposition architecture, provided
it does not fail in beauty. And in
support of THE last remark, | can't let
you off without quoting what | have
heard given as the opinion OF one of the
most gifted architects in this country
!. e., that the building We are now dis.

Or Moorish, say-have a riot of orpa-

rave architecture suited to a frolicsome
eason, to the "come-and go" in which

BOsTON, Dec lA-Lymsn Dartt, a
l6-year-old boy from Nova Scotia, who
was found guilty of numbering an Ar

peculiar way. A piece torn from

Sweet flowers upon cofin-lid
Must quickly meet sure decay,
But flowers strewn along life's path
Bloom in the heart and cheer the way;
So, if you love your friend indeed,
Brighten his life with flowers to-day.
