But the paper plume wasn't much

"What need is a stiff pompou

Mrs. Bow Wow felt sorry for hc'

what to do and she was wondering
if she could buy him a plume in th,

Uncle Wiggily was carrying some

reports that approximately so per cent
of the building has been leased.
The old Shoreham Hotel abounded
in interesting history. Just recently
workmen sealed a number of wine vaults
in the storage chambers under the side
walk that connected with the founda-
ton of the old structure where guam
titles of choice liquors were cached in
prohibition days.
Many famous persons have stopped
at the Shoreham, including woodrow
Wilson, who had a suite there before
he moved to the more noted residence
at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue. The old
hotel stood on the site of the one-time
home of Samuel Harrison Smith of the
National e Intelligencer and its neigh
bors once were the homes of Gen. Will
liam T. Sherman of "Atlanta-to-the-
Sea" fame, at BIT Fifteenth street, and
of James G.. Blaine at 821 Fifteenth
street.
The old hotel was named for Shore
ham, VT, birthplace of its builder and
first owner, Levi P. Morton, Vice Presi-
dent of the United States in 1889, when
the hotel was erected.
The new Shoreham Building Illus
trates the setback principle in con-
struction of buildings of the major size
permitted in Washington, with the two
upper stories recessed from the exterior
wall line of the structure.
Among tenants for the building an
nounced by Mr. Simms are the follow
ing: Fidelity Investment Association,
George S.. Ward, lawyer; Holmes, Paul
& Ravens, lawyers; Manton M. Wyvell.

TRIMMING OF ROOMS
IN AMERICAN WALNUT
-Four Bedrooms and Three
Baths Comprise Second
Floor Plan.

In England each little corner developed
its own technique. Local conditions ana
customs, the accessibility of materialsl
developed a craftsmanship simple yet
sure. The old homes have been stained
and worn by time and elements, giving
a mellow charm to these buildings.
In the Cotswold hills the characters
tic house Is of stone, laid in unstudied
courses; lintels and arches are cut with
a severity and the buildings depend Tor
their great effect upon the proportions
of their gables and dormers. The roofs
are of heavy tile that sometimes tones
with and continues the Solidity OF the
masonry. Half-timber work is rare, al
though there are some famous excep-
tons.
In the Worcestershire district, which
takes in oxford and CotSwold, the tex
lures of the roofs, winding lanes, the
landscape and the very atmosphere OF
the region reflected the quaintness ana
a simplicity of neighborhood.
In the home of Robert G. Jones at
4801 Indian lane, at the entrance to
Spring Valley, a reflection of the Glou-
cestershire country has been reproduced.
The home stands at the corner OF In
dian lane and lockwood parkway on
plot containing over an acre of ground.
The fluctuations of the terrain and the
windings streets that abut the site are
reminiscent of the country from which
this house has been transported" The
exterior of the house is of local stone
with Just touch of timber and brick
nogging to the left and above the door,
way. The roof is of old English tile and
the gable and the top of the castellated
wall are covered with caps of limestone.
The lintels, sills, front doorway and the
arched windows are also of limestone
and the perfect or!el window is OF the
same material.
Entering through the door of quar-
tered oak we find ourselves in stair
hall of fine proportions wainScoted In
the same wood. To the right is the
drawing room with beamed ceiling and
trim of American walnut. From the
front door there is a vista through the
dining room of the terraced garden,
which extends through to University
avenue. The most unusual feature Of
this garden is a semi-circular ter
raced effect, formal, yet terminating at
a most informal bridge across stream,
running through rock garden. On the
axis with the front door at the extreme
end of the garden is little, informal
fountain.
The walls of the dining room are
covered with tapestry, wainScoted and
trimmed in American walnut. The first
floor also contains snug little library
with a fireplace of its own. This room
is paneled with walnut with bookcases
of the same material on either side of
the fireplace, the breast of which is
paneled with the same material, to the
ceiling. The library gives access to a
small lavatory. Besides these rooms on
the first floor are a buffers pantry,
kitchen, cold pantry and servants din
ing room. In the basement, which is
accessible from either the first floor or

the garden, there Is large playroom
with colored terrazzo floor. This play
room has fireplace, and besides room
for billiard table there is plenty of
space for a downstairs clubroom.
In the basement also are the furnace
room, laundry room and lavatory and
a stairway giving access to the four-car
garage. Besides the stairway leading
from the play room. there is another
cellar stairway leading directly toward
the garage.
On the second floor are four bedrooms
and three baths. All bedrooms have
been arranged with cross ventilation
and are amply fenestrated. The master
bedroom is of particular charm, having
a fireplace, private dressing room with
built-in wardrobes and private bath.
On the third floor are four bedrooms
and bath designed for the use of the
servants.
A feature of the garden, which was
not mentioned before, Is a combination
stone and wrought iron stairway leading
to the roof of the four-car garage, which
when properly fitted with awnings and
summertime furniture makes very
charming spot for afternoon tea.
The grounds were Handicapped by j. H.

Work now in progress will eradicate
from the National Capital one of its
older landmarks, Grant Row, a solid
block of huge row houses, erected by
Capt. Albert Grant in 1871 at time

of the Capitol rather than to the west,
but as later events proved, did not.
Grant went bankrupt on this project
and the row sometimes has been called
