lrNo Children.n

The increasing popularity Of the apart

Of more or less important domestic con-
siderations, but none Of more far-reaCh-
ing Importance than the question con-
stantly arising, What IS to be done
with the children?" The subject is treat
ed at some length by the Baltimore Ar

says:
No children taken is a legend which
may be found posted in a majority of

to be a species OF crime for which there

History of the
Capital

II appears that last month Washington
has done rather better IN the matter OF
building than was credited in local opin-
ion. The statistics gathered by the
Construction News" show that during
July permits were issued for the erection
of sec buildinggs. representing a money
value of S742.596 as compared with 81
buildings Of the value of $3.50. 75S IN the
same month Of 1903. The figures show a
gain OF per cent, which cannot be other
than gratifying TO the people OF the Dis
trict, especially in view OF the fact that
most persons We're under the impression
that last month had been unusually dull
in the building line. Another interest
ing fact in this connection IS that Phil
adelphia gained only per cent in her
building operations during July.
New Work Scarce.
Judging from the statements OF local
architects and builders II IS improbable
that so good a showing will be made for
current month. They all say that orders
for new work are few and far between,
and that they are chiefly engaged in
work for which contracts were made
some time ago.
Similar conditions obtain IN the field Of
sales of real estate The record OF trans
fers shows that the few sales made in
volved for the most part only property
OF moderate value. No really important
transactions have been recorded thus far
in the present month, and diligent in
Quiry among real estate brokers fail 20

seem to make the wish father TO the
thought.

John B. sleman LIS Residence.

The same architect has designed a
house which John 3. Sleman, jr-, will
build on Sixteenth Street, Just north Of
Kenesaw Avenue. In addition TO the
unusual frontage of forty feet. there will
be a side yard. The spaciousness of the
building site. which is, of course, excep-
tional in a city lot. will enable the archi-
tect TO bring out with advantage some
of the best features of the colonial style
of architecture which he has adopted in
the treatment OF the house. Across the
front viii be a broad porch which will
suggest the country more than the city.
The walls. which will be OF red brick
laid with black headers. will be finished
with a high pitched roof. covered with
slate. On the first floor will be a paTlor,
reception hall, dining room. and kitchen.
In the basement there is a kitchen and
also a laundry, The feature OF the din
ing room will be a large brick mantel.
while the room itself Will be finished in
paneled oak.

Handsome Residence in West End.


One Of the most notable additions TO
the many handsome residences Of the
West End will be the house now in
course of erection, on the north side Of
Sheridan Circle, for Gen. Charles Fitz-
hugh, of Pittsburg. The architects,
Wood, Dom & Deming, have produced
striking effects with a comparatively
plain front The lot has a frontage Of
seventy-five feet, while the house is but
sixty feet wide. and sits well back from
the regulation building line. thereby az
fording opportunity for an ample drive
way on one side. and a separate garden
entrance on the other.
The basement portion OF the exterior
is Of gray granite and Indiana limestone

History of the Capitol.

Glenn Brown, secretary OF the Ameri-
can Institute Of Architects, has recently
completed the second volume of his
History Of the United States Capitol"
and It has just been issued from the
Government Printing Office. This vol
unaes takes up the additions TO the build
ing after the year 1850. the wings and
dome designed by Walter, and the west
ern terraces and improvements made
under the direction OF Frederick Law
OImstead. Mr.. Brown tells most inter
estingly OF the series of studies made
by Walter, during the fourteen years of
his incumbency OF the office Of Architect
Of the Capitol. and reprOduces in his
book these plans.
In 1856. Congress determined TO erect
upon the walls OF the low dome Of the
old Capitol far higher one-a dome
OF necessarily greater diameter than the
original TO comply with such cOndi-
tons 1t was necessary to resort 20

lated The apparent inaceQuacy OF the

had partly TO surmount II, Is the JUST.
fcation. from a purely artistic point OF
view. for the eastern extension or the
Capitol now under consideration.
Tribute to Walter.
OF Walter, Mr. Brown says: He was
the man best fitted 20 make these i'm
portant additions. His love OF refined
and classical proportions and details,
his good taste and his rare restraint In
reproducing the features % the old work
and harmonizing the new with 1t. show
ed a man OF rare capacity" The many
beautiful drawings made by Walters
own hand, which are reproduced in the
book, prove his personal capacity as a
designer and craftsman to have been
OF a kind that would put 10 shame many
Of the greatest practicing architects Of
the present day.
To the great Improvement Of the west
ern aspect Of the building and Of the
grounds which later came about under
the direction OF Olmstead. q chapter Is

book Is given up TO q most faithful and
