A little girl living In the vicinity Of Du-
pont Circle Is the p0SSessor OF doll
dressed and presented recently by we.!-
known lady who claims 20 be one OF The
''oldest inhabitants Of Washington. The
dolls dress is made of an interesting piece
of material that is eleluent Of the sentiment
that prevailed for the young queen at the
time of Victorias coronation. 1t is of
chintz. a fabric closely resembling calico,
but which IN those days could not be pur-
chased for less than one dollar a yard. and
in design shows a bunch of flowers com
posed of the roses Of England, the th!stles
of Scotland and the shamrock Of ireland
alternating with the gracefully wrought
monogram. v. K.-V Gloria Reg ma.
The dolls dress is made from the gown
worn by the oldest inhab.tant' at the age
of nine and was the first pattern seen in
America, about a month after the late
queen ascendei the throne of England.
The lady relates with pride how she was
the envy of all he fashionable l.tt.e maids
of Washington when she appeared at
church in her oh ntz gown. the design OF
VIII ch became soon after the rage of the
season.

one OF my CUSTOMERS ior instance Is
weh-to-do merchant VINO Is very par'icu-
lar about his cigars, and one Of the few
real connoisseurs in town. When he is in
good form he can tell more about tobacco
on d superb Ial examination than anybody
/ know, with the single exception of a deal
er who has q big reputation as an expert.
About a month ago This gentleman began
20 complain about faeoritc brand of very
high-olass cigars. Knew ihe goods were
all right. and advised him 10 huy some
thing else for while. lie finally began
smoking pipe. and used n cheap cut plug
that he declared was the best smoke he
ever tried. One day. all nf sudden, his
taste returned and he vert back to the
cigars. AT present the bare smell of cut
plug will make him sick strange. isn't it?
They tell me that the professional samplers
OF tobacco take week IF every few
months and never look al the weed until
they return 10 cutE. III 'hat way the!
