HEARD BY BIG CROWD.

The address delivered by Walter
Thomas Mills. the noted Socialist
orator and leader, in this city last
night was heard by a great throng of
people. The gentleman spoke in the
open air at Fourth and Main street.
Mr.. Mills is a speaker of eloquence
and great force. His addresses are
largely free from the fire eating, an
archistic vein that characterizes the
average socialist speaker.

Semi Detached and Suburban Houses.
The feature of residence building this
year will be the erection of houses in cou-
pies with an open space on either side
known as the semi houses.
There is general tendency of home buy
ers to demand more space about houses and
better light and ventilation than formerly.
This has caused a decided movement to the
suburbs where a large lot may be obtained
for the price of an ordinary city lot. In
the city limits this demand has expressed
itself In the erection of semi-detached
houses The movement has also been ac-

Landscape Gardening.
Landscape gardening is beginning to be
felt In benifcent results that add greatly
to the beauty of the suburbs. French. Ite1-
ian and colonial ideas seem to prevail
among those who In recent years have built
homes in the city. For illustration the
Letter and Patterson houses on Dupont
circle and the I.arz Anderson house on
Massachusetts avenue represent the Italian
Renaissance; the Townsend and Murray
and Slater homes represent the French. and
the Walsh house is also a type OF the
French style. The Page house on New
Hampshire avenue and the Richardson house
on Connecticut avenue are regarded as good
types of the colonial style. Until a com
paratively few years ago there were no

Presidents took deep interest In public con-

scented the best ideas that were to be had
at that period. Later the matter was given
over to Congress. and designs deteriorated
greatly In character by reason of the APP
peal of a false economy on the one hand
and lack of appreciation of the higher
types of architecture on the other. The
Capitol. White House, treasury, patent

sent the earlier period; while the present
war, state and navy buildings, pension
office. new post office and National Mu-
scum represent the second and worst period
of government architecture. The Congress
of recent years has evidenced a higher and

orally Is not alluring.
Practical Work Done.
About the only practical work done along
this line has been by the Washington San
itary Housing Company, organized by Gen.
Sternberg, which erected a row of houses
renting from 81 to 50 per month. The effect
of the erection of these houses was to cause
the practical vacation of row of slums
across the street. Much good could be ac-
comphshed by providing means for the
erection of such houses, both from social
and civic viewpoint.
1t is claimed that it would be advisable
to modify the building regulations so as to
encourage the erection of this class Of
houses, and that 1t could be done without
detriment to the city by reducing the thick
ness of walls and simplifying other pro-
visions.
In England 1t was disclosed by investiga-
ton that after the adoption OF stringent
building regulations there was a decided
falling off in the erection of cheap houses,
and the poor We're forced to stay in in
sanitary quarters Landlords would not
erect new houses, and instead municipali-
tics have gone into house building opera
tons.
Interior Arrangement.
In general types the English basement
seems to be preferred for larger houses,
while for the medium-class residence the
house of four rooms, including kitchen, is
the favorite style. Each of these is UNI
doubtedly best suited for the respective de-
mand.
The old-fashioned basement house, with
dining room and kitchen In the basement,
though popular at one time is now seldom
considered.
A marked change is taking place In the
consideration given the parlor, the size OF
which Is being reduced and more space
given to the actual living rooms, such as
the library. sitting and dining rooms.
The old-fashioned. stately parlor, opened
only on state occasions. is rapidly passing.
General Observations
That the past few years has witnessed a
marked and rapid improvement in the arch
itecture Of this city is conceded by all who
are interested in the city's growth. The
designers have shown proper restraint and
have imbued their work with a dignity
that is essential to all public buildings and
semi-public structures. particularly where
they are to follow In scale with such
buildings as the Capitol and treasury build
ings A comparison to illustrate un-
fortunate lapse In this may be made by
