Shrubbery planting on small places
assumes three fOrms-the paintings at
the foundation of the house, paintings
in angles of walks, drives and property
corners next to the public sidewalk,
and the large shrubbery borders de-
signed to give privacy and serve as
screens. The shrubs used in the fOun-
dation paintings and angle paintings
are generally of the low type, with per-
haps few medium height shrubs and
evergreens used as accents where win
dow arrangement would permit. Care
should always be taken that material
used in foundation planting will not
grow so large that it will shut out light
and air Spiraea Anthony Waterer,
spiraea Froebeli, deutzia gracilis, hy-
drangea arbOresens, snow berry, Jap
anese barberry, Indian currant and
Regel's privet are a few of many
shrubs which would be safe to use in
such a planting
The shrubbery borders as a rule re
quire the use of all three types of
shrubs-namely, the low, medium and
high forms. The two lower types are
generally used in front of the taller
group to serve as transition from the
front to the back of the border. Many
times, however, the taller varieties are
allowed to stand out boldly in front
or on point to serve as an accent

Birds Speed FctoI

Illustrative of the speed of a game
bird on the wing is the plight Of a
cock partridge that met his doom IN
Pleasant street, Brockton, Mass, says
the Boston Globe A woman, hearing
an unusual sound, hastened to the door
in time to see bunch of feathers cata-

the still pulsating body of a partridge.
Walking to a spot 20 yards distant
she found the aosd of the partridge
that had been completely severed as it

Financial Value in
Beauty of Building

Architectural beauty has as real q
commercial value as structural
strength or material excellence. Over
the rugged sinews of steel and brick
the architect evolves an adornment
the beauty expressing fttingIy the
character desired.
1t is this beauty of design, COM
bined with a carefully planned utility
which makes buildings desirable, not
only in the eyes of the owner, but in
the regard, as well, of those upon
whose opinion the commercial value
of building depends.
Men prid2 themselves upon homes
which, in their quiet beauty, reflect
their owners station in life. The
building of commerce, designed along
lines of refined prosperity, is, for the
very character and beauty of it's de-
sign, desirable place in which to To-
cate. The hotel which best expresses
an inviting and generous hospitality,
wins patronage through the appeal of
attractive appearance.
The architect, by virtue of his train
ing and talents, understands the mean
ing and application Of architectural
design. Only he can bring out the
beauty so much desired.-Chicago
Evening Post.

L'Enfant returned to Philadelphia
and did some architectural work. In
the War of 1872 he was appointed to
construct Fort Washington on the
Potomac After this L'Enfant lived
| chiefly with his friend Dudley Digges,
Esq, at his fine mansion house, Chel-
lum Castle, near Bladensburg He
haunted the halls Of congress, impor-
tuning representatives and senators
for adequate compensation for his
services"
AS to his success with congress
there are several stories. One is that
congress never gave him a cent. An
other is that in 1900 he filed a claim
for $4,000 and was finally granted
$4,000, which was seized by a credi-
tor. A third is that in addition to the
grant of $500 he was in 1910 given
$66666, with interest from March I,
1892.
L'Enfant died at the age of seventy.
Apparently he had no relatives 1t Is
said there is no authentic portrait of
him in existence. Certainly his death
caused no public concern. He was
buried under a cedar tree at Chellum
Castle. And for just 81 years his un-
marked grave was left to the care of
nature
Along about 1900 Washington had
another Renaissance" under congress
sional auspices. Somebody hunted up
the original L'Enfant plan-and 10! it
was by far the best. So congress- as
far as possible, unscrambled the
scrambled L'Enfant eggs and went
back to his plan. 1t was also decided
to make public recognition of LEN
fant's genius and services.
LEnfant's remains, located after
long search, were taken April %, 1909,
to the rotunda of the capitol at Wash
ington. There they lay in state, as
have the remains of presidents who
have died in office and those Of the
unknown Soldier" President Taft
and Jules Jusserand, the French am
bassador, headed the dignitaries Who
attended the services. The funeral cor
tege made it's way up Pennsylvania
avenue and on to Arlington, the ma
tional cemetery. Interment was made
on a prominent knoll in front of the
WashingtOn-Lee mansion In 1911 was
dedicated the memorial herewith
shown.
Today new plans have been made
for the Identification of Washington.
A magnificent memorial bridge, typi-
flying the complete union of the North
and South, will cross the Potomac An
ornate highway will lead from the
capitol, by way of the Lincoln Memoir
ial and past the L'Enfant memorial,
to the amphitheater in Arlington.
SO if Maj. Pierre Charles L'Enfant
about the year 1885 could roll away |
the memorial above him and from his |
vantage point near the Unknown Sol /
dier" look out upon the magnificent |
vista ending in the permanent seat of |
government he planned for the United |
States Of America

these commissioners, with Thomas
Jefferson secretary of state, anC
James Madison, met and named the
territory Columbia" and the city
Washington" They also approved
LEnfant's plan. But when the COM
missioners asked for the final draft
that they might have it engraved and
published LEnfant made emphatic re-
fusal on the ground that spectators
would use it to purchase the best To-
cations in his "vistas and architecture

shanties which would permanently
disf1gure the city
The commissioners had no means
of raising money except by the sale
of lots, They carried the situation
to President Washington SO before
long Secretary Jefferson wrote to
Major L'Enfant that the President,
having received necessary evidence"
of his refusal to accept or obey orders
issued by the commissioners of the
federal territory, had instructed him
to say, your services are at an end"
L'Enfant fastened to see Washing
ton, but found the Presidents decision
final
Now the real George Washington
had considerable temperament OF his
thO
character to the contrary notwith-
standing. He was dominant and i'm
patient by nature and had a fierce
temper. But he had himself under
perfect control. An Illuminating para
graph concerning Washington's at
titude toward the artistic tempera-
ment" is found in his letter tc the
commissioners of November 20. 1871 ::
Men who possess talents which fit
them for peculiar purposes are almost
invariably under the influence of un-
toward dispositions, or a scottish pride,
or possessed of some other disqualif-
cation by which they plague all those
with whom they are concerned; but
did not expect to meet with such
perverseness in Major L'Enfant as his
late conduct exhibited.
L'Enfant never did hand over his
completed plan. He kept it hidden
till the day of his death
L'Enfant's discharge became effec-
tive March 1, 1892. The President ap-
pointed Andrew Ellicott in his place.
Ellicott produced a plan in close imi-
tation of L'Enfant's. 1t was pub
lished and widely circulated The
commissioners went on with their
work
President Washington directed the
commissioners to recOmpense LEN
FAINT for his work. The commissioners
deposited to his credit 500 British
guineas (more than $2,50O) and noti-
fed him that they had decided him 1

General Washington noted the
young Frenchman's efficiency, had him
commissioned major of engineers and
took him into his official family.
Washington as President used him on
government work in New York and
Philadelphia. When congress in july
of 1870 passed an act ESTABLISHING

over direction of the job to the Presi-
