ADAMNABLE PREJUDICE.
The Perplexities of HoUs Hunt
ing In Washington.

If there is more discOuraging buSl-
ness than hunting for a decent house
in which a colOred family is permitted
to live, let somebody please point 1t
out. You may scan attractiVe-looklng
lists in the papers, and you will think
that out of the dozen you place on your
memorandum slip, surely one can be
found that will be suitable, in location,
size, price and condition. At the end
of three days of fussing with real es-
tate agents mad and footsore
you will feel like giving it up as
bad job and continue to put up with
the sass of a landlady who takes
your hard-earned cash for miserable
accommodations, and who dins in your
ear by day and night lot of guSh
about my house" and my things"
The agent will refuse to rent you any
of the houses that can be rented to
any kind of white people, good, bad or
Indifferent The few that he will al
low you a chance for are invariably
situated in a densely populated Negro
neighbOrhOod, and most of them are
sadly in need of repairs to make them
habitable. The list that is marked
with a star (Which means for cOlOred
tenants) is made up principally of
tumbIe-doWn ''shackS" in courts and
alleys, amid social surrOun lings that
a family accustomed to any of the
comforts of life would not care to rear
their children in. The restrictions
here in the matter of renting property
to Negroes for business and for resi-
dence are something eXasperating be-
yond expression, and the remedy is not
in sight. | have suggested the advisa-
bility of forming companies of capital
lists to erect in healthy localities, a
number of flats or small houses. These
would accommodate mOderate-siZed
families at reasonable prices, and thus
promote longevity and encourage indi-
Vidual house-holding- only meth
cd through which real happiness can
be obtained in a city as cosmopolitan as
Washington. Unless the Negroes of
Washington are satisfied TO pay exOr-
bitant rents for inferior homes" they
will bestir themselves and find way

able and they will grow MORSE sooner

Pins In England.

In England the ordinary domestic

fury an article of sufficient Importance
to warrant legislative notice. An act
of parliament passed In 1883 prohibit

duced into England in the latter part
of the fifteenth century by Catherine
Howard. queen of Henry Will, who
received them from France.
Very good pins of brass were made
at this period, but a large portion of
them were made of iron. which was
blanched and sold for brass pins In
order to prevent this imposition upon
the good people of England parliament
In 1913 passed an act providing that

but such as shall be double headed and

shanks of the pins. well smoothed. the

The Lost Treasure" "Ashes" and
'Disillusionment."
Meanwhile Margaret wrote in her
tiary:
april ii.
Paul was here today. but not the
Paul of yesterday. Something is gone
between us-just what l cannot say,
but something.
HE has, of course. failed me and
can never be again to me what he was
before his reconsideration of today.
do l really love him when cannot
any longer perfectly admire him? Must
question myself further on this point.
''It is true l am disillusioned, but !
feel it more dignified on the whole to
keep our relations as they have al
ways been, The world need not know.
This is not sincere, of course. but
am disturbed and in doubt"
Paul Haviland, too. was disturbed
and in doubt, and it was while he was
I'm this mood that he went one morning
to the law office and found, with as
constituent, that a blow had fallen on
Judge Parker.
He had been responsible for a broth
er living in Wisconsin, a bank cashier,
who, after a long probity, had alb
seconded with the bank funds, leaving
behind enough debts to ruin the judge.
The men in the office said that II
such a thing had to happen to some
one it might as well happen to Judge
Parker. as he never took anything
hard.
Paul felt the incident, an instance of
the injustice of life, already symbol
lied to him i'm his own wrongs. He
mentioned his friends disaster to Mar
garet in the evening, considering it an
episode in keeping with the melan-
choly tone of their meeting. but they
talked very little about it, being still
too occupied with their own delicate,
moral and temperamental problems.
However, when Paul went home that
night and saw tie Judge sitting on the
front steps with his hat on the back of
his head talking to Nick as he had be-
fore his house was disgraced and his
fortunes ruined, he felt among his own
troubles sense of sympathy for a fell
low sufferer.
AS he passed he touched the judges
coat sleeve lightly. as a subtle sign Of
regret. but his intention was evidently
quite imperceptible to the judge. for
the next morning at breakfast he OBJ
served ruminatively with an air of in
telligent, judicial interest:
well. Paul, d'you hear about Broth
er WHIP"
Paul stared at his plate and then
said delicately. 'Tn life we cannot al
ways account for everything"
That's what the bank directors
think" returned the judge loosely.
well, it's a queer thing-a mighty
queer thing. ! knew a man who did
something like it here-and he resem-
bled Brother Will too"
This was the only allusion the judge
ever made to the matter. Everything
In the old Parker house remained as 1t
was before Brother Wills lapse. The
judge had never been extravagant. He
was not obliged to change in any way
his domestic or social customs, and II
will be seen that his spirits and life
had been less affected by his ruin than
had Paul Havilsnd's by the remotest
shadow of adverse criticism.
Perhaps this sketch will be supposed
too decided in its contrasts to be a
thing Of facts. On the other hand. it
may be truthfully said that it is a very
moderate presentation of the vivid
variety of persons. perhaps in the
world; certainly on the north side of
Chicago.
