WASHINGTON Is the capital Of the Govern

OF Washington. Uncle Sam supports n,
people and furnishes them with pocket
money. The cty's income flows from the
United States Treasury. and the assets of
the population are the salaries Of the
civilian office holders. The Government
could live without Washington, but with
out the Government Washington would
simply starve to death. From the National
treasury flows a stream Of wealth that is
divided until 1t reaches every hotel. board.

laid the foundation for the ruche was a
soft cream-colored thing. for 1t was an
eveaing robe. The whole was cut prin-
cess. and how the lady got into 1t Is still
a secret between herself and her gentle
maid. By the way. her beauty has quite
captured the town. Perfectly plain from
the neck down. with long sleeves that
wrinkled from shoulder to thumb and
stopped with a lace bell. It was a gown to
be noticed. With a waist that was fault
less and hips that almost Rugged the figure,
the gown was 30 plain that its satiny sides

thoughts Of spring coats. and at present
these are %crowding the mind feminine. It
is certainly true that the Louis XIV coat
Is to be worn. and the one that we call
the Louis XIV. The latter is in three

material. That dressy old King always
wore one of velvet. but a brilliant finish

The favorite Louis XIV is a garment
copied from one OF the pictures of that
monarch. 1t is a little less than the three
quarter length. and It Is open in the front
with tails that are quite square. There
is q belt of the same material, and at
the front the belt terminates under a
buckle. For winter there Is a great sailor
collar Of fur, and for spring a sailor collar
of lace. The change from fur to lace can
be mad at Easter.

Larger Circumference Of Chest
Implies More Lung Strength.

An addition Of three inches to the circum-
ference Of the chest. Morgan tells us In
University Oars" implies that the lungs,
instead of containing $50 cubic inches of
air. as they did before their functional ac-
tivity was exalted, are now capable of re-
ceiying 800 cubic inches OF air within their
cells; the value of this will be admitted.
Suppose one is attacked by inflammation OF
the lungs; the possession of enough lung
tissue to admit forty or fifty additional GU
bio inches of air win suffice to turn the
scale on the side of recovery. It may be
the means of recovery.
Not only this, but with the head well held
up, and chest expanded, heart, stomach and
other vital organs have more room, so that
they can work more freely. It gives feel
ing of strength and vigor which is exhfl-
arating.
Now look on the other picture. with the
chin, drawn downward. the chest becomes
