CHEVY CHASE TO SEE
ATTRACTIVE HOMES
Old Dutch Architecture to Mark
Type of New Improvement
For Smart Set.

One of the more attractive residences
in Quincy street, east of Connecticut
avenue, in Chevy Chase, is to be built
with the coming spring for II. Prescott
Galley. The residence will be located
adjacent to the recently built homes OF
many prominent Washlngtonians. The
structure will be built tastily in old
Dutch Colonial architecture, containing
two stories and an attic. The lot meas
ures 50 by lbs feet.
Stone will be exclusively used in the
construction of the exterior, and the
west side will be ornamented by COM
modious Colonial porch.
One of the novel features promised
with the new home will be a garage so
constructed beneath the residence to
form a subdivision of the cellar with
the storeroom, boiler, and furnace
rooms.
The first floor will be divided into
large, airy and handsomely appointed
living rooms. A large living room Will
flank the entrance connected with re-
ception hall and reception room, leading
into the dining hall
-Four bed rooms will be contained in
the upper story and servants quarters
located in the attic.
The improvement points out groW-
ing speciality in the prevailing Colonial
homes of the recently improved subur-
ban subdivision. Homes Of the more
expensive type are being built in the
neighborhood, and many OF Washing-
ton smarter residents are moving INTO
the popular section
Adjacent to the proposed Galley resi-
dence will be located the homes OF Drs.
7 ID Morgan and Butler. The Galley
residence exclusive of real estate Will
be built at an estimated cost of $4,000.

MAETERLINCK BOOKS
BARRED BY VATICAN
Faithful Are Forbidden to Read
or Keep Works of the BEL
gian Author.

ROME. Jan. 13.-The Congregation of
the Index has issued a decree placing a
ban on all the works of Maurice Maeter-
Itnclc. the Belgian author and poet.
All the faithful are forbidden TO read,
keep, borrow or sell his works.
One OF the latest books OF the Belgian
poet. which may have caused the Cath
olic Church 70 object to his writings.
IS Immortality" in which he discusses
the question Of n future life. from a
philosophical point of view. After lay
ing stress on the impossibility of the
human brain grasping this tremendous
problem even to the extent OF being
able to formulate 1t in definite words,
NJ. Maeterlinck says:
at seems to us that II our existence
after death is not continued with the
worries. the littlenesses and the defects
which characterize it today our individ-
uaIity will be lost: each one Of Us would
become a drop of ignorance in the i'm
II 6nse ocean of the unknown. and that
therefore what happens after this life
is no concern Of ours.
What Immortality can be promised
to men who necessarily conceive it in
thlS fashion! What would there be to
do in such future state? This is the
question proposed to US by an instinct.
puerile yet profound. All immortality
which does not drag through eternity.
like the ball and chain of the prisoners
which We are, that strange conscious
ness formed during the years. all i'm
mortality which does not bear this in
delible sign of our identity is for us as
if il did not exist. The majority of re-
ligions have understood this and have
taken into account this instinct which
gives birth TO and destroys at the same
moment the desire for a future life. II
is thus that the Catholic Church, going
back TO the most primitive hopes, guar
antees to us not alone the integral con-
tinuance of the terrestrial ego but the
resurrection of our bodies"
In another book entitled La Mort
M Maeterlinck examines the question
OF survival in a more detailed manner.
His conclusion in this book is an alb
solute rejection Of the idea OF hell and
he expresses the conviction that no
matter what may come after life on
earth IL cannot be worse than life is
for us here, no matter how We have
coF0Scted ourselves during this life
