Hildegarde answered airily. "At any
rate he isn't high church, and so, of
course, Athanasius can't feel that he is

AS l said, 1 shall fit up the end OF
the veranda for a pingpong court and
give a series of weekly parties. Under
the ChaStened influences of home the
game will be robbed of it's excuses.
Some tables will be left there perma-
nently, and if any of our friends wish
to drop in during the week we will be
glad to extend to them our modest hos
pitality," Mrs. De Blank concluded.
For a week the southeast corner of
the De Blank Veranda was curtained
with canvas. In that time trans
formation took place in it's appearance
A cork carpet was neatly tackled over
the polished floor Mrs. De Blank rea-
soned that this would prevent acct
dents. Behind the wire netting bam-
boo shades were hung. These would
keep out the sunlight and insure pri-
Vacy.
Three new pingpong tables were
neatly folded in one corner. These
Mrs. De Blank thought would accom-
modate as many players as the porch
would comfortably receive, and while
one set of players. rested another could
take their places. The number of
guests was to be limited to twenty
four; thus the hostess hoped to keep
every one occupied. The veranda was
hung with Japanese lanterns and pen
nants, on which the skillfuI fingers of
the artistic Rosalie had appliqued
white packets, each one with ball
rampant.
Easy chairs and settees were ranged
along the wall for the accommodation
of the lockers on. Palms in handsome
jardinieres, together with bowls Of
flowers, were carefully grouped about

erty silk scarf is the finish generally
given to them.
Sailor hats are seen not at all save
on the strong minded brows Of Ameri-
can tourists. They cannot be blamed
for preferring them since they are emf
nently neat and with a damp cloth
or brush can be robbed of all the
stains of travel. A soft veil draped
around the crown gives them a touch
of jauntiness, and a handsome hatpin
relieves the strict severity of their
outlines.
In warning to the woman who is
thinking of buying a veil let me say
beware Of the bright green's, reds and
blues and browns. Especially shun
those gorgeously bedizened with velvet
or chenille spots in contrasting colors.
The large department stores are clear
ing out their stocks of these, which
means their extinction, since some
time ago really fashionable women left
them entirely TO the ladies of the mid
die class. Catherine Talbot.

Black Gowns.

Although we say that black is mo

has many lights and shades being COM
posed not of one black, but of many.
Take, for instance, the dead black of
crepe de chine mixed with that pecul-
iarly beautiful, cloudy effect of black
chiffon. This would probably be trim
med with glimmer of satin and a be-
coming black chenille or velvet with
jet of varying shades. Then is created
a black dress which is charming in de-

To clean a white straw hat buy a
small quantity Of salts of lemon and
dissolve 1t in a pint of boiling water.
Then take soft brush-a nai1brush

dry on a board or table, for thus the
brim will be kept fiat, and, Of course,
the drying must be in the shade, since

UNDER THE NEW CODE.
Consideration Of a Question Affecting
Local Cemetery

The District Commissioners have decided
to refer to the city solicitor the question as
to whether future burials may be permitted
in a vault known as Brentwood and To-
Gated on the Brentwood road and Florida
avenue near Gallaudet College. The new
code provides that NO person shall bury
or cause to be buried the body or part Of
the body of any deceased person except in
such grounds as are known and used as
public or private burial grounds or such as
shall hereafter be designated by the Com
missioners CT said District and authorized
by them to be used as such.''
The question was brought up by Francis
Winslow, trustee, and it is stated the old
vault was built about 1919 in the manner
then prevalent, the coftins being deposited
in a general receptacle. No change in the
interior arrangements has since been made.
The ground about the vault is not inclosed
in any way, nor has it been for at least
twenty years. The last interment, said to
be that of Capt. Farley of the United States
coast survey, was made in 1873.

from Porto Rico, hence only enough of
oranges for home consumption were al
lowed to grow, and they wild, yet the
sweetest Of oranges the best qualities of
apples indeed and every variety of
tropical, fruits are produced there. Ameri-
can capital is going in, orange groves are
being planted, bananas and pineapples are
being cultivated and experiments are be-
Ing tried with many kinds of tropical pro-
ductions."
The Fruit Industry.
Mr., Elliott confidently predicts that within
the next ten years the money value of fruit
exports will exceed sugar, coffee or tobac-
co. The result of this activity is that labor
is in demand, any able-bodied man willing
to work can obtain employment at larger
wages than he ever received before, and it
naturally follows that the laboring classes
and their families are eating better food
and more of it; that they are growing
stronger and healthier, happier and better
contented.
The Public Lands.
Mr.. Elliott came to Washington at the re-
quest of the chairman of the House COM
mittee on insular possessions to give in
formation upon some matters concerning
which it is proposed to legislate. The Fora
ker law was so well conceived and so nice
ly meets the conditions in Porto Rico that
there is no call for legislation except con-
cerning a few points that could not have
been easily touched upon in framing the
bill. One matter is the question of public
lands, amounting. so far as determined to
about 10000 acres scattered in small tracts
over the island, most of it of little value,
and none of it fully located or determined
by survey. 1t is proposed to turn this land
over to the island government, the proceeds
to constitute fund for educational and
road construction purposes.
Mr.. Elliott is a resident of Newcastle,
Ind, where for many years he owned and
published the Courier. He has not taken
time to visit his old home during the past
two and half years, but expects to take
three or four days off for that purpose be-
fore returning to Porto Rico. He hopes to
spend day at the republican state conven-
ton, renewing old acquaintances. His ply
sical appearance after a residence of nearly
three years in Porto Rico is quite conf1rma-
tory of his claim that the climate is
healthy, and weakeus the force of the Oft
repeated charge that the tropics are ener-
waiting and debilitating.

Spoke for Small Vessels.

The House committee on merchant ma
rine and fisheries yesterday heard Field l..
Pendleton, president of the Atlantic Car
riers Association, who urged the restora-
ton of that provision of the ship subsidy
bill struck out by the Senate, allowing
ships under 1000 tons burden to participate
in the subsidy. Mr.. Pendleton said that
a good part of our foreign trade was done
by small ships from 80 to 1000 tons bur
den, as their light draft made il possible
for them to enter many harbors inaccessi-
BILE to the large ships.
