THE SOCIAL WORLD


THE SHAMROCK.
(This poem is the original compost
tion OF Mrs. " q. Booth OF this
city,
Three small leaves Of brightest green
Crowned with red and white.
Can be seen each summer day,
Waving upon one stem SO bright.
On many soils, these three leaves
May be seen--they form diadem,
Whose jewels are Truth. Love and
Faith
Worthy gods are they, dwelling in
man and youth.
Each morn these three leaves are wet
with dew,
Emblems are they Of Elphin rings,
Who know Faith, Love and Truth,
Wander hand IN hand in their isles;
Holding an emblem in each leaf,
And ellnging to one stem;
Sustained BY the suns warmest
balm.
In Erins Sons, who are Love and
Truth.

BUSINESS BUILDINGS
. ARE ALMOST READY
| FORTH[|R TENANTS
Structures In Downtown
Section Being Rushed to
Completion.

Several important buildings in the
downtown business section now have a
finished appearance, and are about
ready for occupancy. The Interstate
building, the new addition to Wood
ward e. Lothrop's store, the Riggs
building, the Citizens Savings Bank
building. and the new building for the
Potomac Electric Power Company are
among these.
The two street skyscrapers, the In
terstate and Woodward e. Lothrop
buildings, have greatly changed the as
pect Of that business street. The Inter-
state building, a ten-story structure, re-
places two two-story buildings one of
them a former residence while the
other takes the place of the fourstorY
building of the Equitable Building As
ISOLATION. Remarkably rapid progress
has been made on the erection of the
former building by the builders, the
Wells Brothers Company. They were
given the contract with the under
standing that speed in construction was
desired, and they have lost no time in
carrying out the work. The building
will be used by the Interstate Com
merce Commission in connection with
the adjoining American National Bank
building, to which there are entrances
on every floor. The only part of the
building not for the commission is the
first floor stores, which have been
leased by the mems clothing firm of
Charles Kaufman & Sons.
The Woodward & Lothrop building
has two eight-story fronts, one on II
street and the other on Tenth. THE
new building, entirely modern in de-
sign, sharply contrasts with the older
buildings which surround 1t. The struc-
ture will give the department store
eight additional extensive floors, The
mems department will be installed in
the new building.
The Riggs building is already occupied
by number of tenants who have been
willing to put up with the finishing
work of the builders, and the theater
part Of 1t will be opened Monday night
The same builders who are erecting the
Interstate building, the Wells Brothers
Company, have now completed the
Riggs.
The new front Of the Citizens sav-
| ings Bank, across G street from the
Riggs, Is now finished and discloses a
| white stucco building with Egyptian col
| umns to the second floor. The bank will
| occupy its new home within about a
| month.
The addition to the plant and offices
| of the Potomac Electric Power COM
| pany forms a creditable improvement
to the business section south of Penn :
| sylvania avenue. The building Is just
| a square south of the District building,
| on Fourteenth stret. 1t is an attractive:
| four-story structure OF light brick and
| stone. designed, as was the Interstate
Building, by Milburn, Hester & Co,
architects.
Much other new building and remod-
| elling is progressing in the business sec
| ton Of the city. .'s
