This Will be true whether or not the
comparison is extended so as to INCLUDE

The building, in fact. provides one of
the notably few instances in this coun-
Try where the architectural design OF =
private building has been chosen to har-
monize with both the public and private
buildings in its vicinity
While not so large as the structures

IN quiet dignity and attractiveness, the
new structure is I'm every sense worthy
of standing near the great piles of
granite erected by the United States
The location at the northwest corner
OF Pennsylvania avenue and Fifteenth

building. The architects. Messrs. York
& Sawyer, recognized the overshadow-
ing influence of such an impressive pile
as the Treasury building. and on this
account the Doric style OF architecture
predominates in the treatment of the
details of the building
This is especially true of the Fifteenth
street front. which is 13O feet long. and
is marked by a colonnade. the massive

The Avenue front Is treated so as to

in this way the object OF the structure

There is Dut one window to break the
sweep OF strength shown in the massive
granite wall. and the sole Ornamental

This treatment harmonizes finely with

IMPROVE ENENTS FOR
EASTERN SECTION
Some Streets Have Not Even

The fog that has enveloped the citi-
Zens Of the eastern section of the city.
in so far as their real estate interests are
concerned. is gradually lifting. and
they are beginning to rub their eyes and
look about them Some of them are
appreciating what is IN their possession
in the way of real estate, ana are max
ing efforts 10 secure privileges such as
are enjoyed by the residents of the other
sections Of the city. The most notable
feature that has arisen to impress the
public with this fact Is the objection
brought forward at the meeting of the
East washington Citizens Association
regarding the paving of Massachusetts
avenue from Thirteenth 10 sixteenth
streets. east
X was suggested that this street be
paved. when there are other avenues in
the heart of that section which have
not a stone on Them. These neglected
highways Of traffic are some OF the most
frequently used in the east Of the city.
and their neglect and poor condition
has had such an adverse influence on
real estate values that many of the
owners have already registered protests

More comment has been made on this
situation than on any other existing in
and affecting the real estate interests of
East Washington. The Improvement Of
the other avenues. which are already
the principal residence streets. as we'll
as the main thOroughfares. would mean
an immediate increase OF the value OF
the realty along those streets.
For nearly two years. building activity
along streets where Improvement is most
needed was being prosecuted at such a
gait that it was the comment of the
real estate world. Today the slump
that has come over the prices along
those streets is the gossip Of those who

Kentucky and Tennessee avenues are

MUSIC.
Mr. Niles's Song Recital.

That part of The musical season which is looked
upon as having serious import was opened at
Men0elssohn Hall last night with a song recital
by Mr. Czvilym Miles. There is no need to intro
duce this singer to tie music lovers; they nave
known him long and admired MIN long as an
oratorfo singer But last night he introduced hisef
in a new character. Having recognized the oe-
mands OF the American concert room TO pe Ior
songs instead of oratorio and opera a1rs, ne mas

as last nights recital demonstrated, has done MIN
i. x,ss- amount Of good. Always honest sncere'
unaffected straightforward in his art he mas re-
tanned these admirable qualities and deVeDpea tue
ac,,b,,,f,, and euphony of his naturally eScelient
,,o,ce IN such degree that no judicious person
who heard him night need hesitate to say thl
,,a ;s noxy head and shoulders above any american
singer in his class His voice is de1ghtfui IN quar-
a., .byoupnout it's wide range 1T is completely

those commands spring from fine intelligence anu
sound sentiment. How thoroughly he has become
Teutonized- was demonstrated last night when he
devoted a. large portion of his programme to songs
bv Richard Strauss and Hugo Kaun TO discuss
the songs would invite controversy. They belong
IN the same category. The good ones pleased the
innocent lover of music: the others excited their
special wonder. But they were all sung most ad-
mirably by Mr.. Miles. and were accompanied by
Mr. Richard T Percy.
