UNION OF TWO CHURCHES
The Fifteenth Street and 81.
PaulS Methodist the Ones.
WORSHIP UNDER ONE HOOF
The Plan Has Met Some Opposition.
But Committees From Both
Churches Will Meet Soon, and
Probably Decide tn Consolidate.
The Results Expected.

/ 1t is likely that the congregation of
/ the Fifteenth Street Methodist Church
at the corner of Fifteenth and r streets
northwest and st. Pauls Methodist
! Church on Dupont Circle will worship
as one congregation in the near future
4 A movement is now on foot looking
toward that end and if all plans mate
rialize as expected both congrega-
tbns will be consolidated.
The plan has been considered by the
moving spirits of both churches i'm an
informal way since the middle of last
summer. At the first suggestion there
We're several refractory elements in
both congregations that had TO be won
over. Some of the members of the lat
ter congregation were in favor of
building new church on Massachu-
sets avenue claiming that to be the
proper place for their house of worship
and some were opposed to uniting with
the former congregation because they
were opposed to a two-stOTy church.
The promoters of the scneme also
found similar refractory elements in
the Fifteenth street congregation. and
II was necessary to harmonic these
as well as those of the other cOngrega-
ton before anything could be accom-
plished. Accordingly the matter has
been discussed in the official boards of
both churches and several of the most
influential and active members were
enlisted in the work of conciliating
those opposing the plan. Their work
progressed satisfactorily and il is be-
lieVed that the hopes of those most
deeply interested in the movement will
be realized in the fullest measure and
both congregations greatly benefited.
A meeting of the official board of the
Fifteenth Street Church is understood
to have been held last Sunday
afternoon for the consideration of the
advisability of the thing. The result
was that a letter was sent TO the Off
Church inviting them to cooperate in
working for coFs6lidatiOn. A meeting
of the later board was held last Tues
day and cOmT1ittee appointed To meet
a committee fTCm the church extending
the invitation. The decision of the
committee will in all probability de-
termine whether the consolidation will
be effected. The matter is being kept
secret until after the meeting which i.
is expected To occur next Sunday.

The Garden in tue Window

Given a broad shelf in sunny window,
the children will soon have a saucer garden
that will flourish free ofexpense I'll winter.
The knowledge demanded Of the little ga I'd
eners is very simple.
In a deep china plate place layer OF
cotton wadding cut to fit. Soak with
warm water and sprinkle with kernels of
fresh corn, raw peanuts, dried peas or
even orange seeds. A dozen acorns will
soon be a forest fit for the fairies. An
onion, a sweet potato or a turnip will
thrive Ia a wide mouthed bottle filled to
the brim. A sponge dripping with warm
water and sown with flaxseed will soon
form ball of green.
Geranium slips make root quickly in
water. Cut holes in piece Of cardboard
fitted to cover the mouth Of the glass.
Support the slips in this frame and watch
the roOtlets grow.

y
Doing Paying Business.
A young woman who draws plans for
large buildings oversees the work of
builders and gets as much money for
her efforts as a man is Miss Elise Mer-
cur, of Pittsburg. She comes from a
prominent Pennsylvania family, being a

the Pennsylvania State supreme court.
Miss MercuT enjoys the distinction of
being the only woman architect of prom
incnce ia the country. she designed the
woman's Building at the Atlanta EXPOSE
ton, and is at present working on a
100000 addition To the Washington, Pa,
Femsle Seminary. She planned St Paul's
Episcopal Church, PittsbuTg; st. Martins
Episcopal Church, at JohnsOHburg. Pa, aud
also designed the children's building at
the new Pttsburg city poor farm.
Miss Mercur said she broke into" the
ARCHITECTURAL business by first becoming
a draughtsHan or draughtswOlnan. She
had always taste for mathematics, and
liked drawing 30 well that, after being
in the office OF q prominent Pittsburg
architect for year, she was promoted
10 the position of foreman. She then
went out on work, overseeing and in
specting the laying OF foundations, erect
ing buildings. etc.
1t is her custom. when employed on a
building. 10 engage living quarters in the
Immediate vicinity, and stay there during
the progress Of the work. As soon as the
workmen on the building begin their
labors, Miss Mercur is on hand and per
sonaHy sees almost every nan driven into
the structure. In this way she acquires
practical knowledge possessed by few male
architects.
