FOXALL GROUP HOUSE

The third of the series of model
homes sponsored by The Star and the
Operative Builders Association, now
being rapidly completed at 1873 Forty
fourth street, in Foxall. by Waverly
Taylor. is scheduled to be opened for
public exhibition of one month, begin
ming June g.
This dwelling, m of a group of nine
English houses, is the only one of the
series model homes not of the detached
order, and therefore will afford an in
teresting study in contrast to others in
the series.
1t is of the so-called double front
house mode, in that the rear elevation
and the rear lot have been given spe-
cial attention to make them unusually
attractive, due to the fact that the
rear of the house has an outlook over
Foundry Branch Valley, to be devel-
oped as a part of the Glover-Archbold
parkway.
Finishing work on this house was
virtually completed this week, leaving
the forthcoming week for furnishing
and those last-minute touches which
will make the house seem a home al
ready occupied.
The interesting front entrance,
shielded by an inclosed porch, has been
completed, and a modicum of shrubs
have been planted in the front lawn.
The rear lot is ready for its landscap-
ing.
There are eight main rooms on the
three floors of this house, in addition
to the double deck rear porches, which
are screened. A wall has been erected
on one side of the two porches. similar
to those on the neighboring house. this
giving privacy to the porches, although
not blighting the vista of the valley be-
low and not shutting off the sunlight
and fresh air.

This house, of simple Georgian pre-
cedent, is pleasantly situated on a

ground of trees. The front facade Is
featured by q deeply recessed entrance,
which is f1anked by two octagonal bays,
which add to the appeal of the archi-
~tectural outlines of the dwelling.
There Is a commodiouS center hall,
which narrows down where the stair
case to the upper floors is located, ana
at the rear of the house Is a garden
entrance which affords a vista OF the
landscaping to the rear.
Sun Room Is Attractive.
The living room is at the left of the
hall, and adjoining this large room is
a sun room, as n of the attractive
parts of the dwelling. The dining room,
at the right of the hall, has access to
an open porch.
The kitchen is fitted with ample

trance hall, is a small sewing room.

floor leads to a maids room and bath
and a large storeroom on the third

A colonial atmosphere is lent to the
principal rooms of the main foo of this
house by decorative touches, such as
dadoes and the delicately designed
mantel of the fireplace with its facing
of rich marble.
The house was built for Mr.. Lawson
by w. c. q A. N. Miller.

Representatives of the Kennedy
Chamberlin Development Co, builders
of the house, are on duty each day to
explain details of the construction, fur

the house and its grounds. The house
was furnished by w. B. Moses g. Sons.
Sheraton and Duncan Phyfe pieces are
prominent In the furniture, which was
selected with painstaking care to suit
the style, arrangement and interior
decoration of the rooms of the house.
A visit TO this house is productive Of
many suggestions as to the arrange
ment, furnishing and decoration of a
modern home. There is the unusual
feature of special equipment by which
garage doors are automatically swung
open and closed by the mere placing OF
a key in a lock in a wicket at the bor-
der of the garage driveway. to the rear
of the house; the use of mahogany
floors throughout the house. the I'M

styles in cupboards and many other
new ideas.

the country. Since Washington is the

The largest delegation of Washington

the National Association of Real Estate
Boards will be delegates to the forth
coming convention at Boston, June
1923, and will take an active part in
the program, 1t is announced by Morris
Cafritz, chairman of the local commit
tee in charge. To date So have made
reservations for the sessions.
The size of this delegation, Mr.. Caf-
ritz said, already exceeds by so per cent
the largest delegation heretofore sent
to a national convention and will likely
make Washington a contender for the
attendance cup. In deciding the VIM
ner of this award, the percentage of
members of a board attending is di-
vided into the number of miles travelled
to the convention city. Thus one year,
the small board in Shreveport, La, with
but five members, attended 100 per cent
a convention in a Western city and
won the cup, although other, larger
boards sent delegations many times
larger.
Represented in Contest.
For the first time Washington will be
represented in the national Hometown
Speaking Contest" participated in by
realtors from all parts Of the country,
each describing the merits of his par
ticulsr home town. This has been one
of the most popular features of the
realtors convention in the past. Wash

demonstrate the many advantages of

Most Of the cities having a popula-
ton of from IS 1000 to 500, 900 provided
more new family housing units in one
family dwellings than in apartment
houses. Even in the smaller cities,
however, the popularity of the apart

257 cities: 53.7 per cent of these were
in apartment houses, $50 per cent In
one-tamily dwellings. and Ill per cent

In 1921 only pa per cent were
housed in one-family dwellings.
This is the first year since the COM
pilation of these data by the bureau
that more families were provided for
in new apartment houses than In one
family and two-family houses combined.
This is the third consecutive year
that more family units have been pro-
vided in apartment dwellings than in
one-family dwellings. Just what effect
this change in the type of dwelling VIII
have on the social, economic and politl-
cal life of the country Is hard to deter
mine. That it will have its impress on
the character, life. and customs of the
people is an undoubted fact. AS before

ing the character of building abor by

DR. David Tindal points out that
cultivation of the sense of smell
and taste is essential to success in
practice. 1t is possible for the prac-
titioner on entering a room and
even before seeing the patient to
know that the patient or some one
in the vicinity has been drinking
alcoholic liquors.

ciated with severe pus infections,
Diabetes and acidoses give the odor
of acetone on the breath.
Many times patients have APP
piled to sprains or other Invitations
liminiments containing strong smell
ing drugs, which are an indication
of the nature of the complaint.
Some people with an unusually
fine sense of smell can detect the
odor of escaping Illuminating gas,
previously unnoticed by members of
the family, who have become so
used to- it that it does not strike
them.
Recent evidence indicates that the
constant breathing of small
amounts of Illuminating gas may
work serious injury and produce
startling symptoms

What Women Read

A GAIN I would not say that
"A "AlI's Quiet on the Western
Front" was designed to please the
boudoir trade, and yet, the sales
mount daily. I am inclined to be-
lieve that in our own day no sharp
line may be drawn between the
literary taste of men and women.
To only the slightest degree Is
there such a thing as tale fash
toned for a single sex With the
vote and other perquisltes, women
have become world conscious. The
restricted sphere which once was
assigned them has been all but de-
serted for these ten years.
In my opinion, another decade VIII
see the complete passing OF the
woman's page in the newspapers and
the curtailment of the type OF
magazine put out to interest those
who bake and sew.
Authors are short-sighted IN COM
planning that they must please Wom-
en- with their books, for 1t is the
female reader who seems to have
literary standards.
Never has there been so large a
discriminating audience. Thirty
years ago the best known American
playwright was Clyde Fitch. Today
Eugene O'Neill rules the roost.
In this change I see no dlrnlrlu-
ton in quality of output, or virility
either, for that matter.
