different from what may be quite in
keeping with other parts of the home.
The very simplest treatment would
be the concealins of the electric light
ing bulbs within the picturesque paper
or silk lanterns which come from
China and Japan; their use adds a GER
tain appearance of gayety and light
ness to such a setting, and they are to
be had in vast variety and cost but a
trif1e.
Quaint Lanterns Add Charm.
Antique lanterns of metal or the very
heavy lanterns of stone. which stand
upon the floor, are also quaint, and
their use amid the highly decorative
setting of winter garden would add
greatly to it's beauty. One very inter-
esting garden contains a huge dragon
Of Japanese bronze standing on a ped
estal. half hidden amid luxuriant ferns,
and SO wired for electric lighting that
from the open mouth there is poured
forth radiance of pale amber light
which fills the winter garden.
No indoor garden would be really
complete without a fountain, which
may be arranged within a pool or basin
or else planned as a wall fountain
the overflow" falling into a basin
edged about with growing plants and
having the bottom covered with gravel
or with smooth stones from country
brooks.
Old Marble Is Utilized.
In the arranging, of wall fountains
clever use may often be made of frag-
ments Of old marble or of antique
Persian. Spanish or Dutch tiling, which
by its very nature is useful in many
ways where water effects are to be
used. The very last touch of tropical
luxury in the winter garden may some
times be added by birds of brilliant
plumage in gilded cages made after
antique patterns.
Such a garden, called by whatever
name, will be among the most prac-
tical rooms in the home. During the
day it may serve as the brightest and
most attractive Of living rooms, and
the tea table may be arranged among
it's plants and blooming flowers. Here
there may be- served the after dinner
coffee. One particularly beautiful win
ter garden is provided with a tiny
''dumb-waiter" connecting with the
pantry and is often used for the serv-
Ing of breakfast and luncheon.

Notified After Assessment.

The committee states that in the case
of improvement or repair of alleys the
law provides that owners of abutting
property who are assessed for such
improvements shall receive notice aft
such assessments are made Con-
cerning this part of the law. the re-
port states.
"As actual notice upon the owner,
his agent tenant, if found in the
District of Columbia, is required after
the assessment is made. no good rea-
son can be advanced why the same no.
'ire should not be given before the
Improvement is ordered.
Justice requires that no burden
should be imposed by the state upon
opportunity of being heard. Actual no
fice of the hearing could be given as
easily as actual notice of the assess
ment. 1t would entail no additional
expense upon the District to give ac-
tual notice of these hearings, as all the
expenses are included in the assess
ment and paid by the property own
ers."
Called Waste of Money"
Concerning the notice given by the
District Commissioners in the adver-
tising columns of the daily newspa-
pers of contemplated condemnation
proceedings the report states:
Tt Is apparent from reading the law
that Congress intended that the pub
iished notice should be of such char
acter as to warn the citizen of the
proposed improvement and the result
ing burden upon his property. The
method of procedure heretofore fol
lowed in the Commissioners office in
advertising proposed improvements is
a waste of money and has only negligi-
