1.-THE Future Development Of Washing
ton City" Is the subject of an article con-
tributed by Mr.. Glenn Brown, the we'll
known secretary of the American Institute
| Of Architects, to the October number Of
Appleton's Magazine: 1t is largely an ex-
| position Of the park commissions plans,
| but go clearly Is 1t stated and SO attractive
! Its form that 1t cannot fail to both en-
| tighten and enthuse. After describing the
possibilities suggested tangibly by the
commissions report, Mr.. Brown tells Of
the $25, co., COO worth of work which is now
in progress, designed and located in &C
cordance with these same plans, and after
showing the desirability of the adoption OF
the whole points out the chance of in5ur-
ing the scheme through injudicious devia-
tons. He shows it to be great picture,
painted by architects, artists and land
scape gardeners working in unison.a per-
feet composition, dependent upon the har-
mony Of its parts. How to foster and
maintain the present movement in the
right direction; how to control the land
scape, statuary, buildings and paintings
SO that the one will enhance, beautify and
dignity the other, are important questions
to decide he says, adding: This end can
be accomplished by securing an advisory
DOdIQ OF CTdlleu experts WHO nave Ueeu
given legal standing. Under the guidance
Of such a permanent commission each
branch of art, being under the same con-
troll, would be designed to have its relative
making Washington one of the most beau
t1ful capitals in the world"

Soon, however, they will be turning home
ward, and gradually the winters activi-
ties will be revived. Mr.. V. G. Fischer re-
turned from long, somewhat fatiguing,
but successful trip abroad recently, bring
ing with him quite a number of rarely in
teresting and important works of art,
which, as soon as the interior refitt!ng OF
his gallery is completed, will be placed on
exhibition. Mr.. Fischer tells of the scarcity
of obtainable works by the great masters,
of the almost prohibitive prices which the
few brought, and, most interestingly, of
the sharpness of competition, of the en-
terprise of the foreign museums and gal
leries, of the desire of the foreign govern
ments to retain for their own people the
best.
Mr. H. Hobart Nichols, who, with his
family, has been abroad for more than a
year, Is expected in this city next month,

ceedingly successful, and, remembering the
merit Of his former paintings, these later
ones will be looked to with much interest.
He purposes spending the winter in Wash
ington.
