The newspaper correspondents occu~
py very prominent place in Washing

are always welcome. AT the teas, recep-

great rooms in the White House, decked

too, how the state dining room looks
before the guests are there, and
note with an accurate eve the
minutest details of its grandeur They
have the privilege of knowing all they
desire, and there is seldom much of i'm

hands, as they can use them as they
please. They have all the freedom our
country can give. As rule they are
charming and agreeable people and
their familiarity with the well-known

prosperous and have few complaints to

More Effective than Bouncing"
rom the New York Sun


A popular downtown coffee and cake
saloon has abolished its bouncer. The
crude and primitive way he had of
yanking loungers from their seats and
dragging them out by the collar upset
the serenity of his customers. Now
when the Obfuscated lounger tarries too
long over his coffee, waiter comes
along, takes off the lounger's hat, wakes
him remarking, "There'syou hat" The
lounger sleepily murmurs Thank you,
puts his hat on and drops off again. Then
another waiterstackles the lounger just
as the first one did, but with more obse-
quious politeness. After his hat has
been handed to him six or eight times
the lounger begins to feel as if he would
like TO lick few walters. But he knows
he can't, SO he simply swears a little.

getting rid of what the coffee and cake
men call dodgers" is not only effect
i've, but contributes to the pleasure of
