An arohiteet who takes any pleasure in his profession must delight in the oddly-shaped and Irregular lota that abound here. The arrangement of avenues creasing the streets in a sort of irregular regularity creates any quantity of triangles, which offer \Zk' tempting building sites to the architect Who wants to be original and striking. | - ^ These architectural opportunities * seem to be well im >roved so far. The |r vista down some e.* the streets and pi • avenues that have been built up lately 1| is certainly varied and picturesque. It |t is a good deal the fashion, to sneer at ^ modem architects and to speak cou­ ps1- tomptueusly of "gingerbread work." | People who afiect such refinement of taetes that the pretensions of modern building grate upon their sensitive nerves, may find soothing and con- fe genial surroundings In Philadelphia, |p for Instance. Some Wash!ngtoniana pk delights In the wildest" flights of fancy in brick and stone, but there will always bo plenty of conservative spirits who can furnish the solid and handsome style which tones down the architectural eccentricity of more daring spirits, and the general efleet uf the whole Is InU resting and ndmlr* able. General Black's assertion the other day, when interrogated in regard to the refusal of Miss Sweet, the pension agent, to forward her resignation, that "the Lord made women" continues to puzale not only the women themselves, but men, too. Wnatdldhe meanf is a question that has been answered In various ways. Shakespeare defines a women as "a child of grandmother Eve, a female; or for thy more sweet under­ standing, a women." I suspect Gen. Black's sweet understanding has been of one sweet woman, so recently that he was led to exclaim, "the Lord made women" by way of throwing the ter* rlble responsibility to Providence. I heard a Cabinet officer say once: *•'When women at* in office they give no trouble. But its when they are out and trying to get In that they are more than a match for us. We can't turn our backs on a women and freeze her out of the room as wo can a man. 5 8 te will just begin te cry, and then a ' wan feels like a brute, yon know,*11 But it seems Miss Sweet didn't even resort to tears--a woman's most formidable weapon. It there were any tears at all they were probably shed by Secre­ tary Lamar who, I learn, was positive* ly distressed by General Black's action. I was told that the President and the whole Cabinet was stirred up over the afiair. Gen. Black went to the White House to explain, and altogether he had anything but a eweet experience of it. The upshot of It all Is that Miss 8wet will probably serve ouf the balance of her term. The President will take up bU sum' mer residence at SoldUr's Home early next month, occupying the cottage which has been set apart for a number of yeara for that use. By residing there he will have much more time to himself and will be able to take exer­ cise. He is a great walker, but l.e is preventod from taking his customary walk by a want of time and an unwill Ingness to attract public attention by appearing on the street. The Execu­ tive mansion at Albany is a mile from the capital, and while governor he was accustomed to walk the distance three or four times a day. SIuce he has been at the White House he has taken a dally ride, but he misses the exhillra- ting exercise of a good walk. Never­ theless, the President Is looking re* maikable well. Miss Cleveland will reside with him at Soldier's Home.
