EMBASSY.
Many pieces of fine old fur
niture and objects of art, as
well as some old woodwork,
such as mantels, cornices, and
stairways, are to be found in
the houses to be shown.
Included in the tour is one Of
the most interesting landmarks
in Alexandria, the Jockey Club,
now the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. H. Stevens, at 814 Franklin
st. The club was founded soon
after the town was incorporated
and continued it's existence
until 1882. The race track ran
out in front and to the right Of
the dwelling. George Washing
ton and Benjamin Dulaney were
among the members of the
board of governors, and raced
their horses there. About 1874
the Scotch blood Of Alexandria
came to the fore, and the
Jockey Club became the first
golf club in America. This club
lasted until 1845 and since that
time the house has been a pri-
vate dwelling. Many changes
have been made in the interior,
but the house still retains it's
well proportioned rooms. The
mantels, strangely, are French,
Of Louis XVI inspiration.
A Georgian House
Recently restored by the
owner, Ward Brown, the small
Georgian house at 1875 Prince
Street, boasts of a Renaissance
freScoed ceiling in the front
room on the second floor, and a
tent room" in the back. These
were uncovered during it's res.
toration and were carefully re-
stored by special artists in this
type of work. They are said
to be the only original decora-
tons of this kind in this part
Of the country. The tent room"
Is a copy of the Sale de Con.
Seit, in JoSephine's home, NAL
maison, and must have been
executed at about that time.
This small house stood at the
rivers edge until some time
between 1880 and 1890, when
the ground below was filled,
and built upon, and legend says
it was once a small inn. An
artist who overstayed his
means decorated the upper
floor in payment of his bill.

GARDEN WALKS BLEND
WITH LANDSCAPES
Types Should Be Decided After
Style of Entire Project
Is Determined.

A garden walk should be of ma
terial that weathers well and blends
naturally with the landscape. The
material and the construction varies
with the type of garden. For an old
Colonial garden nothing Is more at
tractive than soft-toned brick, laid on
q cushion of sand. They will soon be
weathered and covered with moss and
add greatly TO the charm Of the gar
den. For a natural path that winds
through the woods or rock garden,
water-worn f1agstone would be appro-
pirate.
For the formal French or Italian
garden, the walks are frequently of
cut sandstone or limestone with mar
row cut stone curbings. Sometimes
large colored pebbles are fitted into
patterns and set in cement and used
for walks in formal gardens.
Well compacted clay gravel makes
good walk. but there should be
enough clay in the gravel to keep 1t
firm or else the loose stones are un-
comfortable to walk on as they are apt
to get into low shoes.
Such Improvements may be made
through modernization credit available
at lending institutions approved by
the Federal Housing Administration.

corresponding period since 1881. As

an increase this year of SIT per cent.
Building is still decidedly depressed.
however, despite the gain over the
previous three years. Contracts
awarded during the arst five months
Of 1885 were equivalent to only 1875
per cent of the volume in the cor
responding period Of 1928. the peak

The upward trend OF rents which
began In February, 1884. is still In
progress. The rent level in May was
8.4 per cent higher than in the same
month 4ast year. Building costs on
the other hand. are lower than .
year ago. due to downward trend
during the first quarter. There u still
q wide spread between building costs
and rents, however. The rent index
for May. on the basis Of 1926 as 100.
was only 68.7 while the cost OF build
ing index at the beginning OF June
was 93.7. The fact that the cost OF
building is thus 1854 per cent too high
