committee rooms for the United
States senate, to correspond with the
opposite side of >the capitol, where
the committee rooms of the house are
being built. This block has a curious
mixture of old and modern architec-
ture, and has not so many houses of
great interest, having been less built
up than the other side in early days.
Those houses which are of historic
interest, however, are fully century
old, and in one or two cases there
is no record of when they were built.

the distinguished son-in-law of Presi-
dent John Adams, Judge Cranch of
the supreme court, who came from
Massachusetts,, and it was here that
the president and his wife, Abigail

daughter. Next door to them lived
Francis Granger of Sufneld, Conn,
postmaster general in the cabinet of
President William Henry Harrison,
and in the same house his distinguish

Now, I am not a superstitious man,
nor am l a believer in dreams and

over, it struck me with considerable
force that to write letter as I had
composed to Gloriana would not be
the best way to drift gradually out of
her life; and if my love for her was
to be of the truly self-sacrif1cing va
riety, had better pass through Buff
falo without stopping. 1t was with
this pious resolve that / went to the

there for thirty years. From the time
of William Brents death the house
was known as the Chiffon house and
on their return from Canada Mr.. and
Mrs. Chiffon again took possession of
it, expecting to end their days there.
The house is more quaint and an
cient looking on the inside than on
the outside. The hall is wide and
roomy, according to the fashion of
the day and the magnificent idea of
hospitality, and the drawing rooms
are large square rooms, with broad
window sills and high mantels. The
doors are finished with massive, shin
ing brass locks, screwed upon the
inner side, and finished by huge
brass key with a ring at the end.

New Fad of Wealthy Women.

The prevalence of the companion or
private secretary, who now seems in
dispensable to women of fashion in
New York, is emphasized by the sight
of the parties leaving daily for New
port from the Grand Central station.
In every one Of these groups there is
the woman companion, who, in charge
of the maids, seems to exact from
them the same Difference they show
to their mistress. The place of this
woman companion is that of friendly
equal who stands between her en-
p1oyer and the rest of the world, and
she appears to enjoy most of the pleas
ures of wealth, with none Of its re-
sponsibilities.

Why Japs Admire the Carp.

The carp, which plays SO prominent
part in Japanese decorations, is also
the principal dish at a high-class
Japanese dinner. 1t is deemed to be
the dish above all others upon which
young men who desire a martial ca
reer should be led, as it's eaters are
supposed to imbibe the courage of
the fish.
1t is the bravest of all the Japanese
fish, and the only one that can swim
up a waterfall. Yet when finally
caught it will lie perfectly still while
waiting to be killed. These qualities
of bravery, strength and resignation
are much desired by japanese young
men, and happy is the family on
whose table the carp appears at fire.
