ATTRACTIVE HOMES. Happy Thoughts For Industrious House Beautifiers. ORNAMENTS AND DESIGNS. ea Decorating Walls and Ceilinge—"ir- rors, Screens and Rocking Chaire— Beantitying the Piano—Ideas for Style and Comfort, od Written for Tax Everrxe Stan. NE FINDS so many unpleasant things necessary tomske home attractive at this time of the year that the prelimi- S naries are almost enough to discourage one. It is only by keeping an ideal in mind of what the home has been, and can, and must be again, that gives us patience to endure the intrusion of workmen, and the generally desolate condition prevailing where {improvements and repairs are going on. When the rough work has been done, then the agree- able tasks can be undertaken with zest, and the old and the new mingled to the best ad- Vantage. There are always plenty of novelties $o tempt for every department of the house- hold when one comes to inspect the new goods © all kinds which the season brings. NOVELTIZS IN WROUGHT IRON. In iron, for instance, the articles to be found for house decoration and furmishing are more humerous and prettier thanever. Fixtures for grates, standing lamps, hanging lamps, all kinds of candelabra and single candlesticks, as weil as sconces, are to be found in profusion. In the sconces are several styles, all very good, ‘one with a single burner being as low a8 $1.25 in price. Ther@ is also @ pretty variety in smokers’ outfits in iron, clover-leaf trays hold- ing the various implements being pretty ar- rangements. The iron lamps, in ail shapes and sizes, are holding their own, and are favorites in every form. NEW ORNAMENTS AND DESIGNS. Something quite new, and which can be made ‘Useful in variety of ways, are the ornaments end designs in papier mache for applying to different surfaces with glue. They are in re- lief and the festoons of flowers are most grace- ful. Cherubs’ heads with outspread wings are in high relief, while there are rosettes in sev- eral styles as corner ornaments. A young lady who is making some renovations in her room fs about having them applied to a wide white frame on her dressing glass, and the idea is a Pretty one. ‘ Speaking of mirrors reminds me to mention the very effective standing mirrors, rather larger than have been seen in brass or silver frames, which have very elaborate repousse mes of composition, i suppose, but which have the look of ivory. Cherubs’ supporting garlands form the subject and they have a very ebarming effect for a dressing table. The same design or idea carried out in oxidized silver loses much of the dainty and novel appearance in the ivory tints. SCREENS IN FANCY ARRAY. Screens of every known—and some hitherto ‘nknown—shape and covering are set forth to eatch the eye of the possible purchaser. The staples are much the same as for several years . but the small fancy screens look as if they ‘were going to a masquerade ball for screens, with their white frames. touched up with gold, the shapes like spinning wheels, fans and warps or lyres rather. eo coverings, too, look as fantastic as their forms, with delicate eolors combined with tinsel and ribbon and big rosettes. They are novelties and prob- ably will find plenty of admirers as anew de- parture. A firm, steady foundation for a divan on the cot order, but devoid of its wobbling tendencies, is something that many house- keepers will appreciate and be looking for. It can be found, too, in satisfactory style with wire mattress and hair mattress made to fit ‘The whole thing can be ordered any length, too, which will be agreat convenience. ifs ring of cretonne is used the valance will t to be attached to the mattress, asthe wire 38 immediately below will afford no piace for fastening, but if a Bagdad rug, or such @ drapery of any kind is used, it can be very easily arranged and will be moderate in price, as the lounge, including wire mattress and hair mattress, costs $10. The costof the covering, of course, may vary from the cheap denim to a Turkey rug, though something softer than the latter will be better probably, as the legs are not ornamental and look better to be covered, aud a Turkey rug does not drape well FOR THE CHILDREN. I saw a child's rocking chair today which was very pretty, remarkably so for the small sum it cost. The chair, to begin with, was one of the cheap little affairs with a carpet seat to be found at toy stores, It is of a good shape, how- ever, and strong, so it was bought with a view to its offering such good grounds for embellish- ment. The yellow shel- -| lacked wood was painted (LA pivory white—the = traight lines being very , easy to pamt—then a CITT little eusbion filled with cotton batting was made and covered with a prettyshade of gray blue plush and securely fastened over the unlovely seat of carpeting. This cushion was long enough back and front to roil over the edge and be caught well under—show- ing no finish om the plush. A narrow bead cushien of the plush was hung from the back, and two large bows of satin ribbon to match the plush were there and at each front corner the seat. The little plush it needed cost ry little, and the ribbon. of course, did not amount to a great deal, and yet « most attract- ive little chair, from the good shape and etty colors, was the resuit of this small out- y of time and money. NOVEL WALL TREATMENT. For those who are fitting up rooms here are ‘two ideas for wall treatment, or rather one for wall and one for ceiling. Ina small room—a Kttle boudoir would be most suitable—color the walls arather deep pink and over them put lainly lace of Nottingham or some simifpr ind of a graceful pattern. Finish it at the op With a flounce sixtecn inches deep—by cutting & curtain lengthwise the finished edges may be obtained. The lace over the pink is, of course, very delicate looki and issaid to make an excellent background for water colors in white frames. The smali chairs and tables should be white,with the chair coverings of cretonne with piuk flowers over it. The floor should have White fur rugs on it be stain da yellow tone in itself. A white wainscoting four feet high makes this room compleic, while gay china scattered about adds to the gene: dainty effect. I read this description and tlought it a practicable scheme in snch a clean city as Washington, and as it sounds very at- tractive [give some one the opportunity to avail herself of it. The ceiling treatment is to first put on email figured chintz, over which put pine idiags three inches wide and half an inch p. These should be painted cream white d be arranged so as to cross each other, di- viding the ceil 0 panels as nearly three fect square as may be. The window draperies and chair cushions (frilled) should be of the mechiniz. Have a deep frieze or red car- tridge paper with an olive paper in two tones aud smail figure beneath, y intended to only give the idea for the — but the whole Jems good, so I put itdown. I read it years agoand thought it a pretty decoration fora ceiling especially, This same idea of chintz brought down onto the side walis with cream- e¢ molding marking off a frieze four-foot dado of cream-white wood Would make achirming room, fauzh prettier than the paper effect described above. BEAUTIFYING THE PIAXO. Among other changes for the better in ar. Panging rooms the piano is made more of as «| decorative feature. The square pianos, which are so much more hopeless as picturesque ob- jects than the uprights. are much jess often seen, every one that can having banished them in favor of the others. Even when one does not bave the modera ones, with frames to suit the woodwork of the rooms where they stand, auch can be done to make them more attract. ive than by plac them in @ corner or with he wail, Attachments or called, are provided, which combine « f © many additions to the iano proper. Sometimes @ music stand is Bitea into one side of the front beiow the key board, and again onto the side, which 1s @ con- Seager aud does not detract from the he placing of the piano is entirely ¢] and ‘wherever 10D possible. ren in emell Fooms, it is set out into the room of:onest with the back the part most displayed. ‘The prettiest nie far as looks go, bat one which musician lores on account of the mutfling of the sound somewhat, is one that I have seen only ouce. The piano stood ‘fitments, G STAR: WASHINGTON. D. O. SATURDAY. OGFOBER 4, 1890—SIXTEEN Ht if it Hi L i Hats fill ii hall, from whose vision the musician was concealed, there was the very attracti ngement visible of which I was draped in dull red or soft terra cotta velour, put on in wide plaits, held down with brass-headed nails of dull finish. Atecom- fortable height from the floor a wide seat was made against the piano back with rounded corners and tufted cushion, and valance of the same red velour. On this were several pillows of different shades of the same red, some in silk and one beauty in Japanese embroidered crepe—a most artistic thing. As this divan ‘was placed opposite the fireplace, with the _— making a comfortable back { loungers, it w: household, wh! good place to whole was a decidedly picturesque feature of the beautiful hall whi t stood, In contrast to this simple, useful and really handsome arrangement is the very compli- cated, and to me fursy, plan by which a Lon- don firm is said to be making a fortune in piano effects, The position in the’ room is | about the same as I have described, that is with the back in the most prominent place, The top is draped with a lambrequin arranj ment which falls nearly to the floor in rear, where a tiled box is filled with ferns and other upgrowing plants, At the side—attached as it were—is a cabinet of French gilt. or some- times of Mexican onyx or polished wood, filled with ornaments and surmounted with a lamp of any handsome design covered with » “‘para- solette” shade of some soft tone. This arrange- ment seems to be in great demand in England, but I doubt if it wouid succeed or please here, THE LATEST IN LAMPS. Speaking of lamps, among the latest claim- ants for favor are the tall crystal lamps, most brilliant when lighted and the glass catches the gieam of the blazo above. They are in column or pillar shape for the most part and very handsome. Another lamp novelty has the same pillar design, but is of a material re- sembling ivory closely—the same as the mir- ror frames I should There are several patterns in these, though all are tall, and the plainest are the prettiest. MATTING AND RUGS, More and more matting is used in the best rooms in pretty houses. Even in the drawing room matting is made the background for the most costly rugs, and the effect is very pleas- ing, as the increase of this treatment shows, oriental rugs are first choice, of course, for the floors, but Axminster and Wilton car- pets are also woven in equares and all the less expensive carpetings can be gotten in Ii form. Besides matting a dark solid filling often used to border these large rugs. A plain Moquette in artistic Gelor tsches 6 beasiltal background for smaller Turkey rugs, butevery footstep leaves a dusty mark, which mars the good effect and makes it more unpopular with housekeepers than some other arrangement. In our climate the bare floor with rugs is as good @ plan as any and quite generally used. eed Written for Tax Evewrxe Stan. The Chemistry of Character. John, and Peter, and Robert and Paul, God in His wisdom created them all. Jobn was a statesman, and Peter Roberta preacher, and Paul Evil or good as the cases might be, White man, or colored, or bondman, or free, John, and Peter, and Kobert, and Paul, God in His wisdom created them all. Out of earth's elements mingled with flame, Out of life’s compounds of glory and shame, Fashioned and shaped by no will of their own, And heiplessly into life’s history thrown; Born to conditions they could not foresee, Born by the law that compels men to be, John, and Feter, and Kobert, and Paul, God in His wisdom created them all. Jobn was the head and the heart of his state, Was trusted and honored, noble and great. Peter was made ‘neath life's burdens to groan, And never once dreamt that his soul was his own. Robert great honor and glory received For zeal iu preaching what no one believed; Paul of the pleasures of sin took his fill, Giving his life to the service of il, It chanced that these men in passing away From earth and its conflicts died the same day. John—mourned through the length and breadth of the land; Lashed Peter fell ‘neath a merciless hand; Robert with praise of the Lord on his tongue; Paul on conviction of murder was bung. Jobn, and Peter, and Hobert, and Paul, Life's purpose was thus fulfilled in them all Of John the statesman—How noble and brave!” “Ab! only aslave; Of Robert—* "Tis well with his soul, 'tis well;” While Paul they consigned to torments of hell. Born by one law through all nature the same What made them differ? and who was to blame? John, and Peter, and Kobert, and Paul, God in His wisdom created them all. Out in that beauteous region of light Where the black man’s soul is pure as the white, Out where the spirit through sorrow made wise, No more resorts to deception and lies, Out where the flesh can no longer control Freedom and faith of the God-given soul, Who shall determine what clange may befall John, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul? John may in virtue and wisdom increase, Peter rejoice in an infinite peace, Kobert may learn that the truths of the Ler Are more in spirit and less in the word; And Paul may be blest with holier birth ‘han the passions of man gave him on earth; Jobn, and Peter, and Robert, and Paul, God sure in His wisdom cares for them all A Financial Paradox.

THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF RECENT LEGISLA- TION ON BEAL ESTATE IN THE DISTRICT-—PARKS, RAILROADS AND PUBLIC BUILDINGI—OTHER ‘MATTERS OF INTEREST. HE FUTURE of. real estate in this Dis- trict will be very sensibly affected by the legislation enacted during the recent seasion of Congress. By the laws author- izing the establishment of the Zoological Park and the Rock Creck Park nearly the entire val- ley of Rock creek from the bounds of the city to the District line has forever been set apart and dedicated as public pleasure grounds. For yeats the citizens of the District have recog- nized that this was the manifest destiny of the picturesque Rock creek region. The final settlement of the future of this tract of country isof the greatest benefit, The un- certainty which has settled as a kind of cloud upon all this property has been removed and property owners will know now what to ex- pect. The benefits to the entire District in securing these attractive adjuncts to the city will, of course, be more and more appreciated each year. Congress alsu chartered the Rock Creek railroad and granted the city exten- sion of the Eckington electric railroad, both measures of the highest mport- ance in the movement now progress toward the development of the s burbs. Charters for other suburban railroads were asked tor—in fact it is cstimated that there were no less than fifty bills introduced during the past session to grant authority tor the extension of the street railroad facllities of the District. There ix no one fact that shows in @ more striking light the rapid growth and development of the ‘District than this demand for street railroads. Men are ready to sub- scribe money to build roads far out into the suburbs, or through sections of the city where the present facili re not deemed sufficient. This demand was recognized by Congress in the enactment of a clause which is intended to stimulate the existing street railroads to im- prove their present modes of transportation. ‘he Washington and Georgetown railroad has already announced the iutention of putting down a cable on the avenue line and the 14th street linc. The saving of time effected by the substitution of the cable for horse power is noticeable on the 7th street line. ‘Lue ex- treme sections of the city reached by this road have been brought nearer to the center of bnsi- ness and in the same way Capitol Hill, George- town and Mount Picasant will be w niore accessible. The day is not distant when the region across the Eastern branch, Hyattsville, the towns along the Metropolitan railroad and the outlying places in Montgomery county and in Virginia will be brought within easy and rapid communication with the center of the city. It is evident that the street car system of the city and District will expand to meet the needs of the growing population. THE FUTURE OF THE AVENUE. While the measures referred to have been principally for the benefit of the outlying por- tions of tho city, the bill authorizing the pur- chase of the square on the south side of Penn- sylvania avenue between 11th and 12th streets as the site of @ city post office building is of the greatest importance to the central portion ofthe city. The city has finally secured a place for the post office, which in itself is of the uighest moment, but what is perhaps of more consequence is the probability that from time to time, as ground is needed for public build- ings, the squares on that side of the avenue as far west as 15th street will be secured, so that this noble boulevard of the capital will be lined with fine buildings, with the Capitol building and the White House closing the vistas at either end. ‘There are, of course, raany matters of im- portance which the legislature of the District during the session just closed neglected to take action upon, but in spite of this fact the fir ion of tho Fifty-first Congross will hold an important place in the record of the ruterial advancement of the District. @ STREET AND VICINITY. There is still an active interest in property along G street and the side streets. During the past year, as noted in Tue Star from time good deal of property in this localit; ed hands, and options are now numerous as the autumn leaves in the stree' The process of transformation which this locality is undergoing in the changes neces- sary to use the residences for business pur- poses gives the movement a substantial appear. ance, The real estate agents have succeeded in bringing nearly all the property into the market in one way or another, and even the eburch property has not escaped. Propositions have been made to officials of the Foundry Church, at the corner of 14th und G streets, and to those of the Congregational Church, at the corner of 10th and streets, looking to the purchase of those properties, As yet no definite action h been taken in either case, is evident to some of the official members of both churcles that in the future it may probably be to the ad- vantage of the congregations to dispose of their Property and seek other locations. Whether this willbe done or not cannot be definitely stated, but if the present conditions continue, offers will be made which will, no doubt, be seriously considered. One of theG street corn the northwest corner of 12thand G streets—has been pur- chased by Representative J. D. Taylor of Ohio. He intends to organize a national bank and erect a building on this site, where the banking rooms will be located. It is stated that he paid about @24 per square foot for this lot, which is, however, only 26x75 feet. The a joining property on G street was also recently sold for about $18 per square foot. The lot is 22x75 fe and in comparing these per foot with other business property the shal- eas of the lots should be taken into con- sideration. In thie view $20 per square foot for a shallow lot would be sbout equal to $12 per square foot for a lot of the usual depth, Another recent trausaction was the sale by Mr. James T. DuBois of his property on the east side of 11th street, adjoining the property recently purchased by Mr. Lisner. It was bought by Prof. E.M. Gallaudet, who pa 820,000, ‘The lot is 20 by 99 feet and the p per square foot is about $10. Mr. DuBoi states that he bought this Hah emi @ litt over a year ago for $8,000. He has purchased poe g at the corner of 8th and streets, where he will erect a building. TO BUILD OR To BUY? Thisis the problem that often confronts those who are in search of permanent homes: ‘Is it cheaper to build or to buy?” It is impossible to give an off-hand answer, although no doubt a great many persons think that as far as they are concerned the solution is an easy one. me people maintain that they would not be both- Prod with building, while others are equally ositive that they don’t want a home that has in planned by some one else. The latter class are it to be those who have passed through a long and painful experience of living in rented houses. Tuey have always found some defect in the arrangement and construction. There were no closets or in urs tl th the experience of building a house. Seaerallt aking it is a good pian to build, for then 6 location or the house don't suit there is no one to blame except the person or persons who selected the one and approved the pian of the other, and but few are willing to be continually planning themselves.

A Few Quaintnesses That a Star Writer Discovered in Philadelphia, Correspondence of Tae EvExi<e Star. Partapecrata, Oct. 8, HERE are lots of funny things to be seen in Phil- edelphia when one has not got a gun. I was walking up the smoking side of the way on Chestnut street this morning — it is only Proper, you know, to smoke on the north side of that thoroughfare— when a street car over- took me, going im the same direction, eastward. ~ Tt had taken the street = car nearly a mile to catch up with ms, having started a square behind; but, being tired, 1 jumped aboard. Among other things that interested me I noticed a sort of procession of people who went through the car from one to the other, coming in at the front door and going outat the back, My understanding of the per- formance was not very clear, though I per- ceived it had something to do with the taking on of passengers and the disgorgement of other passengers in the shopping quarter. For example, when 9th street was reached three or four rsons with baskets on their arms rushed hastily through the aisle of the vehicle, so that I felt as if I were witnessing x humpty- dumpty slo: and looked in vain for the clown to rob the baskets of their contents in transitu. A STRANGE PROCEEDING. Suddenly there came through the front door of the car, slamming it behind him, an in- tonsely businoss-like individnal carrying a huge bag filled with something that might have been half a bushel of potatoes, Hastily mak- ing his way throuzh the crowded aisle, be stepped on the end of a Iady’s umbrella and broke abont three inches of it short off. With- out a second’s hesitation, as if such occurrenc:s were quite mutters of course with him, he halted and, extricating a blank book from the rear pocket of his trousers, sai: mit me, madam, to give you my ad- ‘The thing was done with such astonishing celerity that the lady had no time to protest. Receiving the address in question, which was intended to express its owner's responsivility for the accident, the lady began to feel in her Ronee for her fare, because she saw the con. juctor approaching. Now, for the reason thi women’s pockets are not constructed for the purpose of being readily discoverable, she could not find the opening in her skirt, and, a hand being extended for the nickel she owed, she became somewhat embarrassed and clawed around as if painfully apprehensive lest the pocket had got away altogether. The con- ductor waited for what were almost two agoniz- ing minutes to the unfortunate passenger and then remarked: “Well, madam, when you have got through scratching yourself I would be to collect the fare.” On the way down town it was noticeable that the conductor and driver had time to con’ and clean the windows of the car. This is not usually possible, I have understood, during busy hours in other cities. One thing observ- * in Philadelphia is the manner in which ever so many old women keep the money they ge shopping with. ‘They tio it up in handker- chie:s, which serve them in lieu of purses, and untie them cach time they want to get acoin, Isaw an aged female yesterday rake out a knotted handkerchief from the bottom of huge market basket filled with vegetables to procure a nickel for her car fare. HE HAD TOMATS, I followed the passenger who had broken the lady’s umbrella all the way from Chestnut street and 7th to the market, a block off, merely by chance. It turned out that he did not have pot toes in his sack, but tomatoes. He spoke of them as “‘tomats.” Iasked him why he ab- Lreviated the word so much and he said that it was because “it took so long to say tomatoses, The same man told me of some trouble he had had incidentally to nis farming. One day he had caught some one in the act of stealing hi watermeions, When he ventured to prote: the Desist one, holding a choice speci- men of the fruit under each arm, replied that it was a pretty mean man who would not give itranger @ water- melon. Another time he had come across an intruder in his orchard who had made bags of his trousers by tying strings around the bot- toms very tight and filled them full of apples— to the extent of possibly abushel. When he(the owuer) came along unexpectedly the person in question exhibited no symptoms of embar- rassment, but simply cut the strings that bound his pantaloons, permitting the apples to drib- ble out as he walked away as innocently as if he had never dreamed of robbery. This man told me about some difficulties he had had in con- aucting a dairy business. One day he came upon a pee on his own grounds superin- tended by a vice president of the Philadelphia Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals. The vice president was an exceedingly humane man, so much s0, indeed, that when the owner of the cows appeared the humani- tarian official was introducing a tin pail—it was toward evening—beneath the udder of one of the cows, saying as he did so: “Poor thing, she must be suffering.” It is the New York people who have given Philadelphia the reputation of being slow. As a matter of fact this town is most intensely hum of the city. It is shabby, nd, arriving from the cosmopolis by the Potomac, one feels as if the blocks of houses that line the narrow streets had shrunk up around one, sit were.
