There Is scarcely a place in WASH
ington that one may go where TINS
lesson is not borne home on him with
compelling force, although he may not
always realize just what 1t Is that
impresses and pleases him.
Take the Capitol.
What would that great hail. or
rather, three joined halls, be IL II
were not for the wide-spreading lawns
that surround 1t, and the great old
trees that wave their leafy benedic
tions over the approaches?
We need but contrast the Treasury
set amid buildings, to realize that the
Capitol is what it is, in our eyes, be
cause of it's setting.
Some, including the present writer
regard the Treasury Building as per-
haps the finest example OF pure
architecture in Washington. Yet, be-
cause it is huddled among other
structures, it is not commonly so re-
garded.
Had the Treasury been set in a
broad park, with proper approaches
then it's massive columns, It's pure
Greek aspects, would have charmed
the visitor even as the Capitol and
Library of Congress do.
Small plots of green at north and
south help somewhat in setting OIL
the Treasury. They strive nightly
and fail, simply because Nature works
with lavish hand and needs space
to do her best art work,
Space, however, need not be un-
limited. The White House presents
an excellent example of this truth
The Executive Mansion grounds &C.
cupy but a few acres, yet the total
result is charming. because the bes,
use has been made of the space avail

1t must remain question whether
the office buildings which cut clear
across the grounds from east to west
improved the appearance Of the Eek.

general aspects of this place are alto
gether artistic
How much majesty would the
Washington Monument have left

buildings?
Much of it's striking simplicity
comes about because 1t rises alone
from it's own hill. in the center OF
spaces. which are adequate.
y X
This sense of the joy of living
ably more than the inhabitants oil
less favored cities, comes about, i,
seems to me, because of our grass
and trees.
We are in tune with green.
The eyes, the very nerves, of man
demand green as part of our daily
life. We of Washington, for city
folk, are infinitely lucky. in that we
do not have to think much about
this demand, only now and then, as
here.
Even in our business districts we
find trees, and the public parks. and
the generally adequate approaches tc
the public buildings
Even recent developments in row
houses have provided for unusually
wide lawns. q
We take our green in along with
sunshine and fresh air, and these
three constitute the immortal trio
which the life of man demanda
1t is because Washington has this
trio in abundance that 1t is really
beautiful in the Spring. For art Is
not bunk; the appreciation of beauty
is not inimical to commerce.
We are like the contented cows OF
the advertisement: we browse In
green pastures. though in the city
and enjoy our sunshine and our
fresh air all the more for it.
