by which the city was planned is
unique. Its public buildings are in their
architectural designs grand and impos-
ing. The streets are wide, finely kept
thoroughfa,es. unlike those of any
other city. Washington boasts of
park system second to none, and it's
every environ bespeaks such grandeur
as is due the nations capital The gov
ernment buildings are wonderful mines
of instructive and interesting material
and congress is the mecca for the tour
ist who delights in watching and listen
ing to the proceedings of the greatest
governing body known to the world.

delightful time for visiting Washing

The play itself is a story of parental
love, outraged by the infatuation of a
son for Il woman socially his superior,
and which leads to complications of Il
novel and altogether different nature
from the cut and dried incidents employed
in the usual run of comedy drama. Mr..
Welch is given full scope for depicting
his character studies as the outraged
father. and the performance will no
doubt be pleasant one. Seats on sale.
