The game, which was first intro
duced this year, is played with n special
pack of thirty-siN cards, representing
nine strikers. nine plays and eighteen
pcrfecting plays. The cards are dealt
rs in whist The first player must lead
striker, the second causes him to
make play, the third makes Il fielder
take hand and the fourth tries to put
him out or score, in either case win
ming the trick If he cannot make
fielder or the runner perform some act
the last player who does either wins
the trick The odd tricks count runs
and every deal an inning, This play
will serve to illustrate the game The
first player leads striker representing
Il man at the bat, and the second fol
lows by playing card representing II
threc-bagger; the third player then
plays the third basemCn, who, If the
game (of balD is played properly, will
put his man out, but the remaining
player, by leading Il wild throw causes

to score and wins the Tuck or run,

II is announced that the owners of
the noted and once beautiful place,
"K0lorama," located just beyond the
spot where the Blaine mansion now
stands, are going to subdividc and sell
it. Kalorama has wonderful history,
which is thus related in part by the
Cincinnati TimeS-lStdr. 1t was pur-
chased in the latter part of the last
century by Major Gustavus Scott, at
that time one of the commissi oncrs to
lay out the city of Washington and an
extensive land owner in Fairfax and
other Virginia counties. He built the
fine mansion upon it which still stands
and named the cminence Rock Hill.
Major Scott died about the year 1899,
and the place was subsequently oc-
cupied by Joel Barlow, his friend
Robert Fulton residing with him. 1t
was in the mill-d0m ON Rock Creek
that Fulton is said to have made his
first successful steamboat experiment.
In 1911 Mr.. Barlow was appointed by
President Madison United States Minis
ter to France, and died in December,
1912, at Wilma, near Cracow, and was
there buried. Mrs. Barlow, who had ac-
companied her husband TO Paris, re-
turned here the close of the war Of
1912, and died here in 1873. The re-

Decatur was resident of this city,
living in the fine old-f0shioned house
at the corner of II and Lafayette Place,
and in this house he died. After the
funeral Mrs Decatur removed to Kul-

THE MODERN MAIDEN.

The regulation damscl now ia something Of
q boydcu,
a modern goddess mounted upon springs,
4 lamb with Caper sauce to spice its deli
cate allurcmcnts,
An angel substituting arms for wings,
She takes to horizontal bars with ovcrpow-
ering case,
And mogically floats upon the dangerous
trapezc.
No more butterfly soon crushed by thi9tlo
down or feather,
She walks or rides dozen miles per day;
She laughs to sCOrn. with crimson lips, the
most terrific weather,
And armed in watcrproofs pursucs her
way;
She gallops like Tartar over fences, over
turf
And plungcs like mermaid through the
combing OF the surf.
Nor docs she tall; in whispers, like con.
sumptiye zcphyrs signing,
Or murmur like some sea-shcll when 1t
sobs;
But laughs out like her brothers In amuse-
mCnts or surprises,
And calls q great archbishop but "his
nuhs;n
She knows he's but a canon, so she "lircs"
him Just for fun;
And wOrships, as she works. upon the wing
or on the run.
She's robust and she's rosy with muscular
foundation
Supporting all her graces and her charms;
She isn't stuffed with nonsense, with slop-
tones or with cotton,
With nervous fOOl-fantnstics or alarms:
She don't depend on corsets for form erect
and straight
Or wobble like lobster with the trcmblcs
in IT'S gait.
Her eyes are bright us diamonds In their
clear and fearless glances,
Her voice is like a ioy-bell in its ring;
Her step is floating poetry, her hearty way
entrances,
And Cupid serves her with obcdicnt
She scizes every duty with sort of siivery
clang,
And even loves or worships with a "bustlcn
and q "bang.n
But yet she's an improvement ON the lack
a-daisy bundle
OF mulligrubs and nervous kinks-a-curl,
Which sometimes used TO constitute the
fashionable maiden;
Give us each time the sweet, substantial
girl
Whose spirit like her body is not languid in
its charms,
Whose soul is not mere device to register
alarms,
With force enough to hug you in her heart
and in her arms.
The day is past for dainty dolls of sawdust
and of straw,
A soul wcll-packed In substance just fuliils
the modern law.
