DOUBLES PLAY ON
 TODAY; MRS MOODY AGAIN U. s. CHAMP
Gate Receipts Disappoint. ing-British Girl Re. fused to Play on Sun- day

Forest Hills, N. r., Aug 24.-The doubles title of the United States women's tennis tournament Is to be decided this afternoon but az far as fans are concerned the affair is over with Mrs Helen Wills Moody still the queen of them all.
 It took Mrs Moody only 34 min utes yesterday to win Tor the seventh time in nine years the singles championship. She defeat- ed Mrs Eileen Bennett Whiting stall of Great Britain In straight sets. 6-4, G-2.
 Mrs Moody now ranks with Mrs Molla Mallory in the number or na- tional championships she has won both being credied with '. In the war year, however. Mrs Mahory won patriotic" tournament which in it's entry list made 1t vir- tualIy A. national championship.
 Quite A Mixup
 What with religion, weather ana finance having combined to proiong the United States women's tennis championships, the identity or the 1031 doubles titleholder still re- mains undecided.
 The doubles, regarded usually as a sort of necessary evil in any championship tournament, were given unaccustomed prominence in the present tourney because of q of bad weather. disap- pointing gate receipts and religious scrupleg, and to-day held the entire stage in the 1881 women's tourney.
 The doubles championship was scheduled for decision along with the singles Saturday but rain early in the week set the final matches back until Sunday. When the semi finals were completed Saturday, Miss Dorothy Round of Great Brit ain and Miss Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Cal, and Miss Betty Nut hall and Mrs. Eileen Bonnet Whit tingstall of Great Britain had quail fled for the finals.
 Religious Lady
 Miss Round, daughter Of a mln- ister, refused to play on Sunday and was ready to default rather than to play out the contest. This necessitated either postponing the championship events until Monday or playing the singles champion ships on Sunday and delaying the doubles until to-day.
 The United States Lawn Tennis association decided on the later program of partially offsetting the loss of some $15.0O0 to the asso- citation by the Unted tSates failure 10 reach the Davis cup challenge round this year.

In the

Miss Lent's exhibition noted in these columns
last week, consists chiefly of outdoor pictures,
landscapes with buildings though she includes
one or two interiors They are works which are
seen most effectively at a distance and which
would hold their own with paintings in the
stronger oil medium. Particularly impressive
and pleasing is of glimpse through tree
branches of local alley, by no means
picturesque.
IN the great court of the Agricultural Depart
ment Building was shown for four days the
first of last week an exhibition of works by
Government architects representing the archi-
tectural divisions of the War and Navy De-
partments, the Veterans Bureau, the supervis-
ing architects Office of the Treasury-members
Of what is known as the Association Of Federal
Architects-and including not only oficial but
private works.
1t is unfortunate that this exhibition was
for so brief a period, for 1t was upheld to q
high standard and well worth seeing. Most
striking perhaps to the casual visitor was the
variety of styles in which the public buildings
were designed by these architects; there was
no set official style. Apparently the buildings
were designed for particular places and with
understanding OF particular needs, climatic and
otherwise. For instance buildings in the South
were in Southern style, in the Southwest in
Indian or Mexican, in Southern California in
Spanish mission. A hospital for Albuquerque
was IN the style of the Indian Pueblos, admi-
rably adapted buildings for the Northern por-
tions Of the United States equally suitable
in general character And what vast amount
OF building is apparently going on, what great
opportunities these Federal architects have for
the erection Of buildings which viii in their
turn help to determine the taste Of the people
who see them daily!
Lending eqlor to this exhibition were mumer-
Gus sketches landscapes, city pictures even
stth life and flowers, done by the architects on
holiday jaunts or by way of recreation. There
were two excellent decorative flower studies, one
or two very unusual landscape compositions,
decorative IN style and treatment. And among
the private work set forth, which was dis
tinctly In the minority. was a very engaging
house IN Chinese style for Chinese gentleman
living in Honolulu
This exhibition was shown not on the walls
OF the courtyard, but on improvised screens
and In cases. not 10 the best advantage and
there was no catalogue. But evidence was given
OF exceedingly large potentialities In = neid OF
artistic endeavor far outreaching in importance
