Exposition Parties.
Paris exposition parties are being made
up here already-whole boat loads of them.

unable to undertake the trip as individuals
or en- famille, are chipping in for the char

Gave Up Their Seats.
A Washington man got into an uptown
9th avenue L train at Park Place the
how ,fta He cat in 5f
the fore and-aft seats, and then his eye
caught that of another Washington man,
an acquaintance, who had boarded the
train bit further down. AS station after
station was reached the car began to fill
up for it was around O'Clock in the even
ing, when most of the men and women in
this town knock off work. Finally all OF the
seats were taken, and at the next station
a number of weary-looking shop girls
struggled aboard and hung on to straps.
OF course, none of the New York men in
the car offered to give up their seats to
the women. The New York man never
dreams of doing such thing under any
circumstances. But the two Washington
men eyed each other narrowly. Environ
ment is great thing, and it could be seen
that the two Washingtonians We're max
ing a fight with themselves. For mo-
ment or so neither offered to give up his
seat nor did the standing women look as
if they expected any such thing. Then
they caught each others eye at just the
same second, both Srinned sheepishly, and
both of them got up and passed over their
seats to two exceedingly surprised young
women 1t seemed a pretty problem to
the writer whether either of these men
would have given up his seat had he not
felt that he was under the eye of the other.
The New York men swinishly spread out
on the seats, sized up the two Washing ton
ians with sneering faces, as if to manifest
their belief that the pair from the capital
city were simply playing for effect.
Two Dramatic Dogs.
Washingtonans interested in the drama

cent years over the considerable number of
first-night productions which have been
made in the capital city, should be put
