The MetrOpole Club is now the fash
1onable resort of Washington. We have
had the Acanthus Club, the Morton,
Capital City, and what not, but never
have the real men" of thls city had an
opportunity to spend their leisure in
social rendezvous so cOmmOdIOuS and
hOme-like as the MetropoIe. The men,
bership is select, but despite severe re-
strictiOns as to character and stand
ing, the roster is increasing every
week. The entire house is tastefully
furnished and well lighted and heat
end and the books, pictures, papers, bill
lizards and musical features offer pleas
ant diversion. Up stairs a few harm
less games pass dull care away" The
keen eye of r. T. Douglass supervises
the general establishment and he al
ways has a moment for word of wei
come to both home friends and strang
ers. Visitors to Washington link the
Capitol, White House and the Metro
pole Club as the sights that must be
seen If they are supposed to have
done the town" properly. The buffet
service is up-to-date and nothing but
fiIst-class goods are carried. Here is
where Col. G. Washington Wood shines
like a diamond of the first water and
dispenses refreshments with deXterity
and a smile as mellow as a June ap-
PIE. He is aided and abetted by an
other bon vivant of equally inviting
temperament, who extends hospitality
with a prodigal hand. The Metropole

with a friend, and the chief fuglemen

are B. H. Warner, F. H. Smith & Co.,
A. F. Fox & Co., w. Clarence Duval,
Saks & Co., Lansburgh & Bro, Wash
ington Loan & Trust Company (John
Joy Edson), and others of like busl-
ness and social standing. Judge Ter
rell is winning the good will daily OF
Washington's solid citizens, and feels
that after all his previous successes,
he has found the place where he is
content to remain-until wanted to go
to a higher bench. The Judges pop
ularity is an old story and the Man
on-the- Corner need not go at any length
into his familiar career as Harvard
graduate, distinguished Treasury
chief, as a lawyer, as an educator,
Masonic grand master, and finally dis
trict magistrate. We all glory in Mr..
Terrelrs proverbial luck.
Robert T. Douglass is a busy man.
He knows perhaps more people than
any Individual that holds forth in F
street-at least more kinds OF people;
for in some one of his numerous en-
terprises he rubs up against both
halves of the social and business
sphere. AS teller at the Capital Saw
ings Bank he handles more money
than our knowledge of greenbacks al
lows us to figure out. and 1t is possible
that he is acquainted with quite a few

Miss Florence Chapman, a bright
young lady of the Business High
School, is a promising elocutionist.
She is ambitious, conscientious stu
