DIR. ROWE HOST
TO ECUADOR
ENVOY
Friends of Former Envoy
Enjoy His Return
Engagement"
Bv LEAN ELIOT

"HE Director General of the
Pan-American Union, Doctor
L. S. Rowe, who has flair
for bringing together small groups
OF guests distinguished for their
congeniality, entertained informally
at luncheon today in honor or DOC
tor Rafael H. Elizalde, minister or
Ecuador on Special Mission to the
United States. Doctor Elizalde was
for a long time Ecuadors very
popular minister to the United
States and there were enough of
lis old friends in the little company
to insure a merry luncheon
The powers that be are not tell
irg-yet-the exact nature of Doc
tor Elizalde's special mission" but
it must be a matter of importance,
as he has been here three weeks or
80 and is due to remain month
or six weeks longer, putting up at
Wardman Park Hotel. 1t will be
remembered that Doctor EliZalde
left Washington to become minister
of Ecuador to Chile, post which
he still holds, and he has left Nine.
EJizalde and their children in the
Chilean capital as hostages for his
return. / seem to have q vague
recollection that Nine. Elizalde is
Chilean by birth and that the
transfer to Santiago was by way of
being a Homecoming for her, but /
may be mistaken about that.
Since the departure of the Ell
zaldes we have had another Min
lister from Ecuador, Senior Ochoa
Ortiz, who was duly received by
President Coolidge, but his recall
followed a change Of government,
and at present the legation is in
charge of Don Juan Barberis, the
first secretary, who has a long rec
ord of successful service in Wash
ington.
DIR. Rowe was away most of the
summer, spending several weeks at
WiIliamstDwn, Mass, where he pre-
sided over a round-table OF the In
stitute 1of Politics.
It is hard to imagine a greater
contrast than exists between DIR.
Rowe, rather quiet though excep-
tionaIly brilliant chap, and his
predecessor as director general Of
the Pan-American Union, John Bar
rett-the soul Of expansiveness.
Yet each has done notable work
as the executive OF this league OF
American republics, which has ac-
complished great deal toward
promoting friendly relations on this
continent John Barren admittedly
had his foibIes, but he it was who
dreamed this dream and who did
perhaps more than any one man
to bring about its realization.

Natural Contours
Are Preserved
In Miller Home
House Oh Nth Street and
Cathedral Ave. Blends
Architecture and Lot.

Standing on the top of a small hill
which slopes Steeply into hollow.
the residence of William c. Miller, at
the northwest corner of Forty-fourth
and Cathedral avenue. presents a
splendid contrast of artistic land
scapinc and modernized old English
cottage architecture
Unquestionahly one of the chief as
sets of this homelike residence is the
splendid way in which the surround
ing grounds have been utilized to
blend with the residence i'll presentin"
an attractive appearance.
The house. hasically old English in
design. is also built To conform with
the modern service requirements. II
/ IS OF brick and stucco construction
with unusual Vari ishaded green slab
tileS. The long. slopinG roof lines give
plenty of opportunity for proper
treatment of the roof so that it blends
with the rest of the house. While
there is teamwork on the exterior Of
the house, il is not overCrowded. The
TWO roof peaks in the front of the
residence give the appearance to il
Of having two separate wings and
take away any chance of monotonN
that might he occasioned by too eN-
ceSsiVe use of long slopinC roof lines.
The teamwork on the outside is of
stained cypress. the walls are of nat
ural-colored sand finish. The interior
wood trim Is of chestnut, stained sill
Ver gray.
There is plenty of porch space un-
der the second floor at the left Of the
house and can be reached by red
tiled walks from both front and rear
entra noes.
The three-Car garage ia detached
nd is built of the same style of archi
lecture so as TO present a pretty ap
nearance from the side view of the
residence. Ample room has been made
for the service requirements In the
rear Of the house.
The landsCa ping, besides evergreens
flowers. shrubs and an attractive
kitchen garden. has preserved an old
we'll in the hollow of the front lawn.
The we'll has an interesting history. in
that II was walled up by the Hume
family. which owned the former farm.
now the site Of the house. in the
Revolutionary DAYS. LAFAYETTE was
entertained by the Hume family on
lhe farm after the Revolution The
stream from the spring flows through
the front garden and is surrounded by
the trees that have been we'll pre-
served and gives a charming appear
ance.
No effort has been made To ginger
bread" the exterior with unnecessary
ornamentations and the doorway in
the center of the residence is OF the
simplest type. While the house is n
large one. 1t is not mansion. l.
could be duplicated on smaller lines
at less cost and the beauty Of the
residence would still be preserved.
The lot on which the house stands is
however, admirably adapted to EN-.
phasize the English cottage style of
architecture and the entire scheme of
the lot and house is Il splendid eN-
nipple of the adaptation OF modern
CpnVeniences with natural beauty.
A study of the plans viii afford
the reader ample opportunity to see
how the house could he enlarged OF

1t has been OF vital interest to
many business men all over the
country in the past few weeks to
observe the rapid stride that Wash
ington is taking in its civic develop
ment.
Probabl no one reason is more
responsible for this than the fact
that Washington is being recognized
as the center of fraternal industrial
and financial enterprises Recently
it was brought to my attention that
vice president Of one of the larg
est railway systems in the United
States is spending more Of his tim"
in Washington than he is in hia
own home city. and Contemp pla ties
moving his residence TO the Capital.
That is one of many instances where
wealth, big business. executive abil-
ity and prestige is centered in the
National Capital.

Zations have made Washington tho

comes TO us that practically 10 per
cent of the offices in this building
are taken. as we'll as the theater
and shops.
Washington's development can be

development an unusually rapid one
