SATURDAY, REAL ESTATE GOSSIP An Important Addition to the Scot- tish Rite Temple. BEARING ON CURRENT PRICES Relation of House Plans to Econ- omy in Domestic Service. SOME IMPROVEMENTS In a few weeks the work of erecting an addition to the home in this city of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite of the southern jurisdiction will be begun, and when the plans which have been pre- pared by Col. Robert I. Fleming, architect, nave been carried out the building will be double {ts present size. This structure is known as the House of the Temple, and is located at the southeast corner of 3d and E streets northwest. As it now stands it is a large and imposing building, and is not only the headquarters of the order and the place where the sessions of the Supreme Council are held, but it also contains a fine library which has been brought together. Two years ago the council authorized the purchase of a three-story house adjoining the temple and fronting cn E street, and at the session which has just closed the council approved the purchase of the next adjoining house, which gives the council a total additional frontage of 44 feet on E street. so that the entire property now has a frontage of 8S feet on E street and 112 feet on Sd street. Large Apartments. As stated above, it is the purpose to erect an addition to the House of the Temple which wil cecupy the entire ground thus acquired. The feature of the new part will be a large apartment 40 feet by 62 feet, which in the basement will be used as @ banquet hail, on the first floor as an ex- tension of the library room, on the second floor as a museum, and on the third floor 2s a council chamber. The council chamber will be an especially handsome and suitable room, as the ceiling will be 23 feet in height, finished with a dome. The office of the supreme secretary, which now occupies the cerner rocm, will be removed to the new portion, and’ that space will be used as a reception room.

In this cenfection it is interesting to note the price paid for the house on E street which has just been acquired. The total price was about $10,000, which 1s about the samé as that paid for the ad- Joining property some two years ago. The dimensions of the two lots are about the same and the improvements are pretty much cf the same character. The prop- erty last purchased, occupied by the sec- ond house from the House of the Temple, contains about 2,380 square feet of ground, the frontage being 21.8 and the depth 112 feet. It is estimated that the house is worth about $4,000, which leaves about $6,000 for the lot, which is at the rate of $2.59 per square foot. As practically the same price was paid for the house that was purchased two years ago, the consid- eration named in the last sale shows that values have remained about the same. In a Suburban Subdivision. In the reference that was made in last Saturday's Star to the work that is now in progress in opening up streets in subur- ban subdivisions, mention should have been made of what is being done in the Ameri- can University Park, where workmen are now engaged in opening up Massachusetts avenue, which extends through the south- ern portion of this property. Mr. D. D. Stone, one of the trustees of the property, states that the improvements being made by those controlling the subdivision have been going on during the past summer, and in addition to opening streets and grading, trees have been planted and ether improvements have been made. He says that since last spring some 250 lots nave been sold, aggregating $130,000. As is well known, this property is located to «he porthwest of the grounds of the American University and several blocks west of Tenleytown. Houses in Kalorama. It is the intention of Redford W. Walker & Son to erect a block of five houses on Q street near 22d. The ground is in what is krown as the subdivision of Kalorama, which adjoins the city on each side of Massachusetts avenue extended. During the past year or two quite a number of houses have been erected in this locality, | and it is stated that owners of property find that there is a better market for houses than for vacant lots, and it is said that this consideration has a good deal to do with the increase in the building op- erations in that vicinity as well as in others. A New Hotel Building. Work is in progress in reconstructing the Arno Hotel building, and when this is com- pleted !t will practicaliy be a new struc- ture. Two stories are being added to the height of the building on 16th street, while reteet prices They are bargain The buyers now The next invoices will come in at the advance—and that cannot be avoided.

The owner of the property, Mr. Gordon McKay, who is having the work done under the, supervision of Colonel Robert I. Flemifg, architect, will spend, it is said, $200,000 by the time the building is ready for use. Demand for Small Houses. A phase of house designing which re- ceives more or less attention from owners and architects is the devising of a plan which will tend to economy in domestic service. In other words, what a great many people seek in a house is one where they can get along with the least number of servants. It is said that thefe is a de- mand for houses of such a size that a family can hve comfortably and well with the assistance of only one servant. In this way a saving ts effected, not only in the wages paid to servants, but the friction of domestic life is very much reduced, and besides such a house can be heated at a minimum cost and requires less furniture than & large house. A house somewhat of this character has recently been built in this city. It is only two rooms deep, as there is ro back build- ing. In the basement there is a furnace room and a cellar. On the first floor the front room fs used as a dining room, and back of this connected by a long passage, which fs utilized as a closet, is the kitchen. There is a door from the kitchen leading into the hall where the staircase is located. The parlor is the front room on the sec- ond floor and back of this is a bed room with space for a bath room taken off from it. The same arrangement characterizes the plan of the third story. Improving a Suburban Railway. Preparations are being made by the man- agement of the Washington and Great Fails Railroad Company to lay a double track along the line of that road, which is now being operated from the Union sta- tion in Georgetown to Glen Echo and Cabin John bridge. It is also the intention to replace the wooden trestles with iron work and to make other improvements. It is ex- pected that these changes will be com- pleted the early part of next spring, so that the road will be ready to do the busi- ness, which the experience of last year showed was reauired of a street railroad going to a popular suburban resort like Glen Echo. Some time ago it was stated that negotiations were in progress for the purchase of the road by persons who pro- posed to continue the sine up to Great Falls. This plan, however, has been abandoned and the improven its above indicated are to he made by the present management. Basiness Structures. A storage house is to be built by the In- denencext Ice Company at its depot in Georgetown. It will be a frame structure, one story in height, and 50 by 100 feet. Two brick warehouses are being bulit by J. F. Russell on the 30-foot alley between ist and 24 and C and D streets northeast. ‘They will be two stories in height in the front and three in the rear. J. M. Fifield" will build a store and dwell- ing in Petworth, on the 7th street road. It will be three stories in height, with a frontage of 26 feet and a depth of 42 feet. and the front will be constructed of pressed brick and brown stone.

A couple arrived at the principal hotel and registered them- selves as man and wife. In fact, they were elopers, one having run away from a wife and the other a husband. In the course of a week the injured husband and the injured wife arrived from Kentucky and caused the arrest of the pair. The deserted man and woman hdd never seen each other before, but while waiting for requisition papers from Kentucky they stopped at the same hotel. and formed an acquaintance. Having a common grief, they became interested in each other, and, on the day the requisition Papers were to arrive, they astonished the officers by eloping on their own account, going to Texas, where they are now sup- posed to be. The first pair of elopers were released from jail, and the Kentucky offi- cer returned hoi after informing the local paper that he “th @ rattlesnake would bite him if he ever traveled a thou- sand miles again to help a couple of men trade wives.”’ ——_-+e+______ A Warning.

A LOAN EXHIBITION An Important Move of the Society of Washington Artists. OPENING: OF THE NEW GALLERY Artistic Gems From Other Cities as 7 Well as Washington. THE CAPITAL AN ART CENTER The new gallery of the Soctety of Wash- ington Artists is to be formally opened on November 20 with a loan exhibition that will tn every way worthily signalize an event of so much importance. The future alone can show the true value of the step which the artists have taken in fitting out tais exhibiticn hall, but the immediate in- fluence whica it will have upon art in Washington is apparent. With the greater facilities which the new quarters will af- ford, the exhibitions will become powerful factors in the education of the community to a thorough appreciqtion of art. By charging a small admission fee to supply the necessary funds, the society will be able to solicit pictures from artists of es- tablished reputation all over the country. Such work shown here annually must in- €vitably broaden the scope of real art, and give it a national rather than a provincial aspect. The First Exhibition. Until this winter the society has never had a home of its own, In 1890, the year when it was organised, Messrs. Woodward and Lothrop generously tendered the use of their gallery for the first united exhibi- tion, and those of the two following years were also held there. After that, through the extension of a similar courtesy, the annual exhibitions were held at the Cosmos Club. However, the artists began to feel the need cf more space, and a desire to place themselves on a more independent basis, so last spring the nfatter was dcfi- nitely formulated, and ihe present gallery has been the result. The New Gallery. The building, No. 1620 Connecticut avenue, is situated between K and L streets. After partitioning off a small room at either end, there remains a gallery G8 feet long by 18 feet wide, which is adequately lighted from the skylight extending over almost the entire length of the hall. The walls are now being hung with hendsome olive green material, which harmonizes admirably with the gray of the frieze. The ‘atter is cov- ered with an effective pattern designed by Mr. Robert Coleman Child, a member of the society. In past years it has been impossible to cper the exhibitions..in age evening, but now, with the satisfactory lighting eqvip- ment which the new gallery will possess, this has been made possit#®. The room in front of the gallery will paake a good place for the meetings of. the” sbelety, and it is probable that the hext ofi2, on Tucsday evening next, will be held there. A Choice Exhibition. As the new gajlery approaches comple- tien, the artists cast about for some way in which to fittingly commemorate its opening, and a loan exhibition was settled upon. The call for pictures has met with @ generous response, and’a choice exhibition is assured through the contributions of resi- dents of this city and of collectors and deal- ers in New York. Such a collection will, of course, be cosmopolitan in character, but the artists have aimed to make an es- pecially fine showing of the Intermediate American School, the group of painters who were on the crest of the wave from the early fifties to the seventies. Consequently there will be good exam- ples of Vedder, McEntee, Sanford, R. Clifford, I. . Brown, Kensett, Hub- bard, Whittredge, Bellows, and other painters whose names were household wcrds a quarter of a century ago, but who are now somewhat “‘out of fashion.” Some of the Washimgton Pictures. Some idea of the range of the exhibition may be gathered from ‘the following list, giving a few of the pictures loaned by Washingtonians: Mr. Allen C. Clark will contribute. The Fruit Merchant, by Paul Seignac Cattle in Holland Fields, by Henry 8. Bisbing; Early Morning on the Seine, by Camille Hippolyte Delpy; Blossom Time, by Jennie Brownscombe, and a Novel En- tertainment, by Charles Bertrand D’En- traygues. Mr. Clary Ray will loan a por- trait by Franz Hals; the Savior on the Cross, by Rubens, and St. Joseph and Child, ty Michael Angelo. From Mr. Par- ker Mann's collection will come the fol- lowing pictures: What a Beautiful Butter- fly, by Kever; the Evening Meal, by Henri Lerolle; the Coast of France, by Harry Chase; A Last Look, by Francis Jones: Marshcs, by Charles H. Davis, and the De- serted Home, by the same artist. Mr. Stilson Hutchins will contribute ex- amples of Corot, Mauve, Ter Meuien, George Maronicz, Schweniger, Chialiva, De Neuvitie and Diaz, end br. Jenkins has promised works by Ziem and Jacquet. Mr. Frank Moss will ioon paintings by Sr Thomas Lawrence. Henri Regnault and Daubigny, and Mr. W. Chilton will loan a portrait by Cha L. Eliott. Jaines Lowndes has offered portrait: Godfrey Kneller and Hubert Ves, and Miss Riggs and other coliectors will contribute examples cf the Intermediate American School. Mr. V. G. Fischer has offer lend the portrait of Lord Butte by Ramsay, and Murkacsy’s study for the ast Hours cf Moza: Among the other pictures waich the collection will include one may meniicn a portrait by Chari Wilson Peaie, lcaned by Mrs. H. S. Turner; a head py benoni irwin, loaned by Mr. E. c. Messcr, and two examples ef Taomas Sully, ore leaned by Mrs. Philips and the ether by Mr. Weils M. Sewyer. “The Pioneers,” by the late Thomas Hovenden, who wss a member of the local society, has been secured from Mrs. Hovenden for the purpose of exhibition. The foregoing gives but a few of the pictures that will be exhibited, and does Tot ine le all the names cf the Washing- tcnians who will loan works of art, it serves to show that the exhibition will be a collection of masterpieces. Treasures From New York. Mr. Themas B. Clarke of New York, who is well known as the donor of the Clerke prize, and as a patron of distinctively American art, Las tendered several of his treasures, and it is probabie that he will send examples of c:ther Wyant or Inness. Quite a number of pictures are also ex- Pecied from the New York art dealers, Mr. Ochme having promised examples of Vi- bert, Benjamin Constant and Domingo. Mr. Knoedler’s contribution will include paintings by Heilbuth, Chialiva, Carl Becker, Munkecsy, Inness, Jacquet, Achenbach and Kravs. Achenbach is rep- resented in landscape, and Knaus, the vet- eran genre painter, by a striking head of @ Prussian officer,'a painting executed in his best period. The Coming Exhibition. On the evening of the 20th there will be a dress reception and private view that is to be made quite a social event. Beginning with the 22d, the exhibition will be open during the day, ard in the evening upto the 30th, when the works will be removed in order to make way for the exhibit of the Water Color Ciub. in all regular annual exhibitions it will henceforth be the policy of the society of Washington artists and the Water Color Club to bring in the best work from out- side. This will not only be of educational value to the public in general, but will mean a great deal to the artists them- selves, as they will thus enter into closer relationship with their brother painters in other cities. as an Art Center. r lands where art receives the support of the government the capital is almost invariably the art center of the country, and when the United States goy- ernment comes to take an active interest in art there is every reason to suppose that Washington will as an art center at least equal any of the American cities at present more favored in this respect. In the absence of government patronage the artists themselves are endeavoring to give the exhibitions the national char- acter which they feel belongs to them by right, for they realize that the exhibitions of the nation’s capital should nat be limit- ed in their scope, but be open to the best artists in every state. The new gallery has paved the way for all this and has made possible a wider sphere of action. ——— FASTER TRAIN TO FLORIDA. Representative Railrond Men Fixing Up the Winter Schedules. President H.
