B, Moscs & Som. The completion of the immense building which W. B. Moses & Son,the furniture dealers, have just erected at the southwest corner of ith and F streets, marks an era in the history of this city. Its vast extent is an evidence of the growth of the business of the city, while the solid, durable character of the structure indicates that temporary make-shifts in the way of buildings isa thing of the past. There has never been a business building equal to this in extent and character ever erected in this city. and the Moses firm, in being the pioneers, di play another evideuce of that enterprise and ck business perception which has contributed Much to ther success. The building is en stories in height, and towers nearly 100 feet above the ground. Its architectural features is great simplicity with strength and massivene: The foundations are laid broad and deep, 24 feet below the pavement, and the ceilar ‘ormed is divided into two apart- ments, a basement and a sub-basement. In the sub-basement, which is far beneath the ground, and has a flooring of concrete, are the boilers which supply the heat for the building and the power for the elevator. Here is also stored the extra stock, and as the basement extends under both sidewalks, as well as under the entire build- ing, aniple accomodations are secured. The Second story, so to speak, of the basement is lighted by the sky lights in the pavements and by the windows in the areaway along ith street, and is used as a show room for chaira. THE FIRST FLOOR above the ground is ona level with the street, and there are broad entrance ways from F and lith streets. The F street front is nearly taken up with an immense show window, which is dent with plate glass and all the glories of fine upholstering goods and rugs.

A dark-eyed young woman, in a street costume, greeted the reporter upon his entrance. “Yes,” she said in reply to the reporter's inquiry, “I am the tattooed lady. Shall I take my clotnes off?” Before the reporter had time to protest the manager, who who was standing neam nodded affirmatively. Miss Baum disappeared into a dressing-room. but soon reappeared, hampered with as little clothing asa Fiji princess. She wore a sort of tunie or jersey, sleeveless and cut exceedingly low in the neck, and having a very much abbreviated skirt, beneath which were a pair cf trunks which left the greater part of her lower limbs exposed. Her feet were encased in short socks and slippers. She wore also _@ necklace of huge stage pearis, Still this unusual degree of nudity was not so shocking as might be expected, for the rather shapely limbs and bosom, so frecly displayed. were covered with a fine net work of tattooing, which appeared until examined closely like a suit of colored tights. The prevailing colors were red and purple. No regular designs were followed by the tattooer, but he had covered the space allotted to him, with figures of birds, Goddesses of Liberty, dragons, stars, crosses, scrolls, and fanciful figures of all kinds. Miss Baum showed the reporter that the tattooing did vot cover any more of her person than she could properly exhibit to the public, under the most Liberal construction of what is proper. Her face, neck, and hands were not tattooed. “I was tattooed a year ago last September,” sald Miss Baum. “It took six weeks to do it, and the tattooing was done publicly in the Bowery, in New York.” ‘There are other tattooed ladies?” sald Tue Star reporter. ‘Yes, there are six. Iwas the fourth one tattooed, and managers tell me that [ain the best. See,” she cont nued, holding up herarm; cannot find a place where you can put a ent piece that is not tattooed. T suppose the tattooed ladies are well paid?” Well,” said Miss Baum, who evidently thinks snot fully appreciated as a work of art, so much as we ought to get. Wha outhe idea of haying yourself tattooed?” inquired the reporter. “IT don't know exactly,” said the yari-colored lady, “T saw other tattooed Indies in museums, and thought it would be nice.” How was it don ‘The tattooer used three fine needles tied to- gether.

By the way, the president-etect 1s deeply and justly incensed by that “Washington newspaper report” to the effect that he 1s mego- tlating for the sale of Chihuahua to the Cnited States for $60,000,000. He remarked with bitter scorn:*However, I wiilnot condescend to refute it.” ‘The government has ordered the withdrawal of the ‘copper coln now in circulation, and itis as- Serted the obnoxious nickel must again be intro- duced.

Let me offer a few reflections on the mania for Queen Anne houses hat is now rife, and which I yenture to profiounce a failure, and which, with more certainty, will be decreed a failure a generation hence. The thing is all wrong, and on wrong principles. The Queen Anne architects indulged in no such ridiculous fantastic freaks as we see now exhibited, and simply because such was entirely opposed to the nature and character of brick. Brick isa simple, honest, plain material, with a good color and hard, smooth eurface—that is all. Whatever style can display these qualities best is the Queen Anne style and no other. The re- sult of the modern caprices will be seen 10 or 20 years hence, when certainly decay will have dis- integrated or destroyed the whole, or when the owner's heart will have sickened of the frequent repairs and restorations. The old Queen Anne houses produced effect by the beautiful color and surface, the bricks being laid alinost touch- ing, with the thinnest wash of mortar between. The result is that no rain or damp ever gets between, The modern system of building is opposed to this, thick layers of mortar being interposed, with the certain result that all the elaborate gables, &c.. soon begin to separate, Bricks put together in elaborate forms have no strength, no more than stones laid on earth, but displayed tn surface it becomes as firm and smooth as a billiard table. Even mouldings should be raised in the faintest degree, and the less they are the richer the effect. There is an old house out at Clapton, a*seminary for young ladies,” that for design, simplicity and pure brickwork, mixed with stone and design of out- line, puts ‘to shame all the vrick phantasmata that are now covering the city. Looking at the pretentious masses that cover the new settle- ment of Cadozan-square or fine the Embank- ment, one does not feel at all drawn back to the days of Queen Anne. There is a coarse, raw treatment in their embroidery to which the brick lends itself but reluctantiy. The material is too rude forsuch fine work. There is another fad in house adornment, which, it may be said, has run its course. This was the daubing over houses “liver red.” green, blue, &c. These efforts looked daring enough at first, but pre- sently, as the dirt accumulated, they turned all kinds of horrid tints, and the house looked dirtier and shabbier than eve Saturday Smiles.
