| Senator Hale built a handsome colonial
mansion at the corner Of Sixteenth and

as might grace a New England estate,

of the Hale mansion looses nothing from

designed for Mrs. Nicholas Anderson
which stands just opposite 1t in X street:
the Hay and Adams houses In the block

palace he built for the warders, in the

devotees admit this. but they insist that
much of the charm OF the Hale man
sion is due to the material of which it
is built, and there is truth in this
contention. for the light brick OF the
Hale house accentuates its broad and
simple lines. while the red brick OF the
Hay and Anderson houses give them a
more intimate. domestic, and less severe
air
A Colonial Mansion.
There could be no more ideal home
for a New England statesman with
literary tendencies than the colonial
mansion of the Hales The interior of the
house corresponds with the simplicity
and dignity of it's exterior. The rooms
are big and broad and airy, with high
studded ceilings and abundant space. and
! they are furnished in a style betting
their elegant dimensions, yet so simple

Hale's constituents from the Pine Tree
State would not be oyerawed by their

Lodge Buys a Home.
Almost the first thing Senator Lodge
did after his election TO the Senate was
to purchase a house in Washington. for.
like most New England people, he has
little use for apartment houses or hotels.
which can never be made to seem like
home. 1t is not particularly handsome
house. the Senator's home in Massachu-
sets avenue, bat II is admirably situated
pleasant. and attractive both inside and
out, and has spacious and weIl-lighted
library exactly arranged TO suit its own
er's needs.
His neighbor Senator Du Pont, is
much more handsomely housed, but then
he is richer In this worlds goods, and en-
tertains constantly and magnifcently.
Senator Du Pont bought his house from
the estate of the late Berlah wilkins.
and it is one of the finest of ali the fine
houses that have been built in Washing

Francis and Henry II houses have be-
come quite the vogue in Washington. and
in the last few years several new houses
have been built which follow as closely
as possible the architecture Of this period,
with It's fat rich carving Of intricate de-
sign. The Edison Bradleys have made
over the old Gait house in Dupont circle
in this style, and the furnishings, which
they searched through the old and de-
serted chateaux and palaces Of France
for. are as handsome and as true TO the
period as any to be found in this coun-
try, not excepting the museums.

No Longer Political BIunder for Members of
Congress to Build Attractive and Com
Portable Homes in This City.

! WINDOWS unhappy experience had it's
effect upon the Senators of his day, and
there was for a time little buying or
building of houses by the members of
the Upper House: but WINDOWS exper-
fence is already forgotten. covered up
with the dust of time and the country
has grown beyond such blatant dema-
goguery as made his defeat possible. and
those Senators who can afford it build
on buy houses at will. Ii is cheaper,
when all is told. to own house in
Washington than it is to rent one, that
is. house Of any pretensions.
Several years ago. before the Senator'S
salaries was raised to their present figure.
a new Senator passed some time under
the lead OF an enterprising real estate
agent looking Tor a home within his
means that would suit his needs and
finally found one so perfectly adapted
10 his requirements that he Immediately
decided upon Il without asking the price.
which was TO be fixed upon between him
self and the owner of the house at the
las. inspection. The owner OF the house
was one OF the grande danes Of society.
who informed her prospective tenant that
It would cost him exactly $4,000 a year
to live In her modest mansion. The
Senator. 9. comparatively poor man from
the country. was struck dun with amaze
ment at this price. but finally recovered
his voice and, having a sense OF humor,
graveiy said, But. Madame, what am
I to do with the remaining $500 of my
salaryg"
Must Live on Salary.
It IS not the intention TO discuss here
the shifts Senator or member Of Con-
gress must make to exist at the Capital
on the salary allotted him. The case
stands thus: man is sent to Washing
ton and is expected 10 live on his salary.
Now It is impossible 10 entertain TO any
extent or maintain any style on that
salary. yet If he does not entertain. II
his latchstTing is not always out for
the visitors from home, he is regarded as
stingy and persimonious, and political
capital is made out Of that fact; If. on
the contrary, he puts on too many Tugs.
If his servants wear livery. If HIS auto
mobile is OF the newest fashion and the
best make, If his dinners are cooked by
a chef. there is more material for polit-
ical capital. and the horny-handed sons
Of toll are importuned TO refuse to sup
