Real Queens and PrinceSSeS.

The first statue to Queen Alexandra unveiled
in the grounds of the London hospital a very
recent date by the earl of Crewe. The figure is a
colossal bronze and faces SOUTH looking away from
the institution. One of two bronze panels represents
in bas-reief the opening of the Finsen light de-
parmen at the hospital 1t will be remembered that
her majesty, who is the president of the hospital,
introduced the Finsen light there, and gave the
first lamp to the institution. On the second panel
tribute is paid to the great interest the queen has
taken in the hospital The statue is the work of
Mr.. George Wade
The queen and Princess Victoria, if they read
the newspapers the other day, must have been
amused by the variety of descriptions applied to
what they themselves wore at one of their appear
ances The queen would learn from one paper that
she wore "heliotrope" from another 'hydrangea
mauve," from a third Girls blue" and from another
lavender" The safer correspondents spoke of pale
shades of mauve term wide enough to be tolerably
accurate Princess Victorias curiousy tinted dress
greater puzzle. 1t called variously "deep
pink" and "frase red" and "cerise" and old rose"
Some of the women journalists had fierce but good
tempered arguments about it, and one of them set
tied it with the curious declaration: "The feather
and the rufle French gray-cerise is the only
possible combination with French gray.
The Crown Princess of Sweden, still better re-
membered in England Princess Margaret of Con-
naught, has long enjoyed the reputation of being the
"tomboy" of the royal family, and when she first
arrived at the somewhat stiff and formal court of the
late King Oscar she was something of an enigma
One day she across the lawn to her husband
and gently reproved by of the elderly ladies
in waiting for her action "Princesses don't run
in Sweden, your royal highness" said the lady
primly. Don't they?" laughed the princess Mar
garet, "they stand on their heads in England if they
think they will"
Another of Princess Margarets pranks was played
in the extensive orchards of Osborne some years
ago The day very hot and the late Queen
Victoria had driven out to a shady spot under a
large apple tree where she sat reading Presently
an apple dropped at her feet. The queen looked
up, and concluding it had fallen from the Dough
called the attendant to move her round to another
side of the tree Presently the same thing happened
again, and the queen moved third
apple followed the others, and her majesty was
looking more puzzled than until peal of
grlish laughter revealed Princess Margaret sitting
high up in the tree dropping apples at her royal
grandmother's feet wherever she moved

Popularity of
Section.

Three of the row of FIVE houses at
the corner OF Kenyon and Thirteenth
streets. Mt. Pleasant, now nearing COM
pletion, have been sold recently by
Moore & Hill.
Jewell II. Aubere purchased the cor
ner house for $3.50 A. o. Waters and
II. s. Shepherd purchased two inside
houses at $3.50 each.
The houses are on the southwest cor
ner, and are being constructed by HArry
Wardman- They contain nine rooms
and bath, with hot-WateF heat
A feature OF these houses is that they
are twenty-five feet wide. and are Of the
new box type. That is. the old plan
Of having a front area is not followed,
but this space utilized for making the
rooms larger. The plan also admits
OF a maximum OF light for the four
large rooms on the first floor
The houses are or colonial style, with
individual front porches. They are I'm
ished throughout il hardwood
This is a class Of homes for which
there is a larger demand than supply In
the District. This fact IS illustrated by
the sale OF three or them before COM
pletion. The recent purchase OF nearby
property by Richard Bailey for the
erection of nine similar houses also In
dicates the demand.

Interest.

While but one large realty deal has
been consummated in the past week
there has been a satisfactory volume OF
small ones, indicating that while opera
tons have not been on large scale,
interest in real estate investments has
not slackened.
Dealers report many sales OF houses
for homes and investments. The build
ing situation has also taken on very
active turn. During the week many
contracts for new houses ranging in
price from $500 to $500 have been
made This is q result that building
men have been anticipating since the
opening Of the year. Labor conditions
have settled down to a certain basis.
Material is cheaper than it has been
for many months, and than ii is likely
to be some months hence. Investors,
therefore. realizing this are making con-
tracts for building under very favorable
conditions,
Many real estate men nave been pre-
dieting that the snrinkage in stock
values, incident to the recent financial
depression. would soon nave the effect

events of the past few weeks would
seem to justify this forecast. One
dealer, A z. Mclaughlin, states the
case typically. He says:
After every financial disturbance the

securities. drop. Many small investors,
and some large ones, are forced TO sell
or else do so for fear that the shrink

ton. Good investments can be had that

erty that is steadily enhancing in value.
Investors are beginning TO realize this
fact, and are taking advantage OF the
condition"
The largest deal of the week was
the purchase of the two buildings at
1917 and 1913 New York avenue H.
Chesley & Chesley for $4,000. The
property fronts fifty feet on New York
avenue, extending through 10 II street
