Although Prime Minister Mac

placing Sir Herbert Marler, who
resigned because of i'll health, as
Canadian Minister to Washington,
the White House states there's no
decision about filling our vacant
ministership at Ottawa. Because
of Canada's entry into the war and

Dace are perfectly harmless, and
though extremely active they do not
require very much food. They love
the prepared meals given them and
thrive on their substituted menu.
Enthusiastic tropical fish and
aquarium experts state that the
dace always has a large following.
In fact, it has been voted the most
satisfactory of all small fish in
fresh-water aquariums Their dis
position appeals to every one, and
they seem at times even to know
members of the family who have
their welfare and health at heart,
for they swim to the side of the
aquarium and seem to look wisely
at their caretakers. These fish may
be purchased from dealers in the
Midwest at a reasonable price. They
ship well, and may be ordered if
your own dealer does not carry
them in stock.

BY ANNABEL PAXTON,

There have been many remodel
ings since the Alva Belmont House
was partially destroyed by British
troops. Even the principal entrance
on B street has not escaped altera-
ton. Within the masonry opening
Of the doorway, only the door, wood
frame and paneling give evidence,
through characteristic holdings, of
dating, probably, from 1920. To
what extent the entire house retains
original portions of the early struc-
ture is a matter of speculation.
The design of the doorway follows
a pattern typical of Georgian Colo
nial in America. The wood frame,
transom bar. and mullions separat-
ing the door from the side light
are all finely nodded in the manner
Of their day. What was once, no
doubt, beautiful Georgian fan
light above the door is now of art
glass" quite out of harmony with the
architecture of the house. Even
the double flight of steps with
wrought iron handrails leading to
the entrance, which is practically
a whole story above the street,
plainly show the marks of remod-
cling without kind regard for main
tenance of the architectural char
acter of the facade with its excel
lent handmade, salmon-color brick
laid Flemish bond, wood cornice and
mansard roof.
Ceilings Are High.

en- route from Bladensburg, in the
summer of 1914. American forces
under Commodore Barney fortified
themselves in the Sewell house and
from the upper stories made an at
tack on the advancing party of the
British under the command Of Gen.
Ross. At least two men were killed
and several wounded. Gen. Ross,
incensed by the killing Of his horse,
ordered the house burned.
Numerous Remodelings.
The extent to which the house
wass destroyed by the British is
problematical. Some claim Is made
that only the B street facade was
seriously damaged. Numerous re-
modelings since 1890, however. ef1ec-
lively conceal the evidence. During
the following 100 years the house
passed through various ownerships,
among others John Strobe Barbour,
one-time Governor Of Virginia, Sec
retary Of ar and Minister to Great
Britain. Aaron Burr is said to have
occupied the house for time.
Senator Porter H. Dale Of Ver-
mont purchased the property in
1922. In 1929 1t was bought by the

houses in the District have not
carried out the spirit Of the original
mansion as well as does the interior.
Within. the house contains numer-
Gus fireplaces with elaborately
nodded mantels, typical of their
period. Ceilings are high, many
nave ell-proportioned cornices; the
rooms stately and dignif1ed, with
much furniture of a glorious past
in American history. Doors are
high, thick and massive, we'll pam
eled, hung on silver plated hinges
and fitted with silver knobs.
The history Of the Alva Belmont
House has its variations. The best
account and the one usually ac-
cepted begins with the granting of
a parcel Of land by the British
crown to Sir George Calvert, the
first Lord Baltimore. About 1893.
Robert and Henry Sewall-or Seweu
acquired large part of this grant,
which was known as Capitol Hill"
The widow of Henry Sewall became
the second wife of the third LORD
Baltimore and the building Of the
house has been attributed to him
Certain accounts, however, state
that Robert Sewall purchased the
house and site in 1899. Other ac-
counts credit the building of the

as Is the case with most styles for
wearing apparel. Climate, customs,

We know today. For example, the
