Decalogues are quite de rlgueur lust
now. Among the new commandments

ten devised for the Iowa wife by the
Rev. Marion Simms of vinton, la.
They are said TO have been received
with Indignation by the aides and
with enthusiasm on the part OF the
gentlemen.
Perhaps because I belong TO the
former sex I decided that DR.. Simms's
decalogue might be improved upon-at
beast for New York wives. And Mrs.
Mildred Manly Easton. president OF the
Life as a Fine Art Club. quite agreed
with me. One by one she took up the
Iowa recommendations and substituted
her own.
SHAFTS MORE IMPORTANT

First Of. ALL" she began. Il think
that the thou shafts OF morals and
banners are infinitely more Important
Than the thou shalt nots.' A positive
line OF conduc, is much more valuable
10 the Individual and 10 society than a
negative one. Therefore. a decalogue
ought TO be coucheL in the more az
gresslve positive form.
Now, take the first OF DR.. Slmms's
commandments: Thou shall have no
other man but thy husband, and when
another would make love to thee re-
ilAmber that he IL a fool or a knave.'

Then says DR.. Slmms: Thou shalt
not expect thy husband In beginning
his life to support thee on the same
plane that thy father was able to reach
after q long life Of hard work and rigid
economy. Therefore, thou shalt not

WHERE HOGARTH LIVED.
Garden and Tree Under Which, He
Entertained Homeless Children.

From the Architectural Review.
1t may not be generally known that
Hogarths country house at Chiswick is
preserved entire to his memory. A brass
plate >Syer the door is to this effect: 1.-THE
house was purchased in 1892 by Lieut.
Col. Shipway in order to save 1t from be-
ing demolished, and by restoring the
building he has preserved 1t to the nation
and to the art world in memory OF the
genius that once lived and worked within
its walls"
1t was in 1749 that Hogarth acquired
the house at Chiswick, his town residence
being at the corner OF Leicester Fields.
Between these two houses he spent most
of his life-usually passing the summer
months at Chiswick. The garden as it
stands is somewhat abridged Of its former
dimensions; the stable and painting room
have disappeared. but one important fea-
ture remains. This is the mulberry tree,
under whose shade he entertained the
little foundlings put out to nurse at CHS
wick. Hogarth's marriage was childless,
and his affection went out to stranger
children.
Hogarth died at the age Of sixty-seyen
at his house in Leicester Fields, where
he had gone in q weak state after an ILL
ness. The funeral was at Chiswfck.
His tombstone bears the following in
scription:
Farewell, great painter Of mankind!

Whose pictured morals charm the mind
II genius flre thee. reader. stay;
III nature touch thee drop tear.
II neither move thee turn away.

RESIDENTS OF BARRY FARM
SEEK CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS
To Relinqdsh Ownership in Order That
Water Mains and Sewers May
Be Installed.

of land We're purchased by the trustees
of the bureau OF freemen for the pur-
pose OF providing homes for the negroes
that had recently been made free. The
land was divided into acre lots. but the
line Of each lot extended to the middle
of the street, so that each purchaser
paid for the street space, the cost being
divided between the owners on each side.
The title to the streets to this day re-
mains in the abutting property holders,
and it is held under the law the District
cannot put down improvements at public
expense when the ownership Of the
streets is not in the District.
The District surveyor, NJ. c. Hazerl. has
devised plan by which all the streets
in the subdivision will be condemned
under the law which provides for the
opening and extension Of streets. These
recommendations have been embodied in
bill which has been approved by the
District Commissions, and is now before
Congress. BY the method Of assessing
benefits and damages, 1t is expected to
make the streets of Barry Farm like
those in other sections Of the District
ana then the taxpayers in that section
will be on an equality with those living
IN other sections. and will have right
TO share in the annual expenditure
OF money for street improvements.
To attain this end the property hold
ers will part with their ownership Of the
streets, and, as in the case In all pro-
ceedings under the law, this will be no
expense to the public.

The attention Of Congress has been
called to the conditions which exist in
the section between Anacostia and the
grounds of the insane asylum, known as
Barry Farm. In the entire area of this
subdivision, which includes 400 acres.
there are no sewers and no independent
water supply. The lines Of the city
sewer system and the pipes conveying
the water through the streets Of Ana
costa reach to the boundary Of this
property, and there stop. The residents
In the subdivision are obliged to live un-
der the same conditions which obtained

looked upon as mere modern necessities
The residents of Barry Farm for years
have pleaded in vain with the Commits
sioners to extend the city water pipes so
that the wells, which are the only source
of water supply. might be abandoned.
But nothing has been or can be done
until the enabling act is passed, which
was sent by the Commissioners a few
weeks ago to Congress. Under this bin
1t is proposed to put an end to the in-
sanitary conditions by acquiring for the
public the ownership Of the streets.
