forms like the traditional paper on the
wall, and they look like brown statues

their shoulders bob up and down they

garment high in the air and bringing it

How the Javanese Bathe.
See the men and women swimming about
in the canal. There are scores of them,
bathing together, all dressed in these thin
cotton sarongs. There are grandmothers
and granddaugkters, old men and young
men. children and babies, the latter in the
arms Of their mothers. being dipped in
and out.
Here come two girls of sixteen for their
daily swim in the warm flowing water
They are we'll dressed after the Javanese
style; each wears a long cotton jacket
over the sarong or skirt which forms the
costume of both women and men, and each
carries another sarong with her to use In
the bath. Now they have stopped on the
bank within twenty feet of where I am
writing. They are letting down their hair.

and hold up the sarongs they have brought
with them. These are bags of bright fig
ured cotton about a yard wide and two
yards in length. Each girl steps inside
one and pulls 1t up under her arms and
at the same time allows her dress sarong
to drop to her feet. She is now penned in,
IL were in this wide bag. with her arms
and shoulders exposed. She pulls the bag
close to her person, twisting 1t this way
and that to tighten 1t. and fastens 1t by a
knot at the breast. She now folds up her
other dress and lays it with the jacket in
a neat pile on the bank, and jumps into
the stream. Her sister has followed. and
the two are padding about like two little
brown ducks. They swim this way and
that. Now you see only their heads and
row only the soles of their little brown
feet.
They stand in the canal and scour them
selves. and after long time spent In sport

Namfng the white House.

Why is the presidents mansion at
Washington called the White House?
1t has been SO called for years and
years, and now no Il thinks Of using
any other name, although executive
mansion is the official term. The
name White House is d reminder Of
the second war with England. Aug.
"a 1914, the British army captured
Washington and burned the public
buildings, the presidents mansion be-
ing among those to suffer. It was
damaged to some extent, and to hide
the fire stains II was painted white,
and white It has been painted every
year or two since. s 5E5i S&9s
The home Of Washington's mother
was called the white house. and this
may have suggested the name, but the
fact that the mansion was SO assidu-
onsly painted white after the war Of
1872 doubtless brought the term into
popular use. 2 s5 III

Patterson and then goes on to reason
that as every voter was probably out
only 545 votes cast-hardly sus-
tanned the censu figures for the Cap
ital city. The latter reasoning is
about as good as the former statement
about the result of the election. While
it was a spirited election in some re-
spects there was quite a number of
voters-some of 'em disgruntled-
who failed t vote. If every voter
had been out there would have been
about 600 votes cast.

Although there are love songs of an

for her charms, she becomes virtually
a slave as soon as she marries, and the
little poetry of the folksong does not
accompany her even to the marriage
altar. She is valued only for the work
she can do in a household and for the
children she can bear, and should this
latter blessing be denied her her lot
becomes doubly pitiable, and she often
seeks release by suicide.-Outlook.
