FASHIONS DEGREES
SET BY AUDUBONISTS
Society Opened Seventh Season Yester-
day With Millinery Exhibit
at the Raleigh.

The Audubon Society Of the District Of
Columbia opened its seventh session
yesterday afternoon with a millinery ex-
hibit in the parlors of the Raleigh Ho-
tel From to 6. the hours set for the
display of hats. a continual stream of
visitors passed through the parlors in
speeding the attractive feminine head
wear.
More than fifty hats were included in
the exhibit. to which many prominent
local milliners contributed. Picture hats,
shirtwaist hats. evening hats-hats that
were large and hats that were small
heavy hats, light hats-in act. every
kind of hat that every kind of woman
might desire. found a place on the
tables.
The frames utilized were of the lat
est shapes which the fashions of the
season suggest. To those who desire
a stylish small hat for the street there
were any number of turbans and
boats" to be chosen from. That the
"Florodora" Is still In vogue is mani
fest in the modish exhibit of this fetch
ing style.
Great, long plumes form a conspicu-
Gus decoration for velvet and tulle alike
and many flowers have been gathered in
artistic fashion together on brim and
crown.
The display is given on the bird pro-
lection" plan, which protests against the
Importation. manufacture. purchase, or
sale of gulls. terms. grebes. humming
birds. and song birds. irrespective of
the country in which these birds may
have been captured.

TRYING TO SAVE TREE
ON WHITE HOUSE LAWN
Acacia Threatened With Decay, Treated
With Cement and Strengthened.

Gardeners are making every possible
effort to save the beautiful acacia tree
in the White Lot just in front Of the
entrance to the new Office Of the Presi-
dent. Decay in the center Of the tree
has threatened it's life.
The trunk of the tree has received a
thick coating of cement wherever any
cracks or other signs OF decay were
visible. The tree is especially weak
where the long spreading branches join
the trunk, and has been strengthened by
iron bands, lined with rubber. and
cables which fasten the branches to-
gether and lessen the danger OF the
destruction of the tree by high winds.

request made by the Chesapeake and

company be granted permission, and

cerned there was no objection.

Left Handed vituperatives.

One of the gravest objections to train
ing child to be left handed is the GER
tainty that it will be nicknamed from
its popularity, especially during the
early years Of life. Most counties in
England have their idiomatic express
sions to denote left handedness, and
they are often prefxed to the unfortu-
nate left handed child's name In Lon
don the term is kack handed, the word
being also equivalent to awkward. In
Lancashire 1t is k-pawed, in Yorkshire
gallock or gawk handed, an expression
dating back to at least the seventeenth
century. In Derbyshire are used the
terms keg handed, cork handed and
corky handed, while in the Teesdale
district cuddy handed is common, and
in Nottinghamshire wallet handed.
In the south Of England special terms
to denote left handedness are also
found. In Dorset it is scrame handed,
and in Devonshire coochy handed. In
Scotland we find gawk handed, and in
the west cawry handed. In Ireland a
left handed man is called a kithogue.
Mr.. Tim Healy used this word in a
speech at East Wicklow, in which he
said that Mr.. O'Kelly could fight with
his left hand and had already given
his opponent some "kithogues' that
would spoil his political beauty during
the contest-London Chronicle.

A Poetis Paatime.

He was a skater of skill in his man
hood. ga. girt skater; moan better in

Dales man, quoted by Canon Rawns-
ley in his Lake Country Sketches"
On one occasion the poet went by
himself to figure bit upon the White
Moss tarn, and d man sent boy to
sweep the snow from the ice for him.
When the boy returned from his labor,
the man asked:
''Well, did Mr.. Wordsworth gle ye
owt?"
Nay" rejoined the boy, with a grin
of content from ear to ear. 81 seed

But the lad, who had thought the
tumble a fair equivalent for a tip, had
been much impressed by the quiet way
in which Wordsworth had borne his
fall. His skate had caught in stone
when he was in full swing, and he
came down with q crash.
''He didn't swear nor say nowt," said
the boy, ''but he just sot up an said

A Conauering Fayvn.

A sambhur fawn possessed in India
Of the age of four to six months made
practice of chasing all dogs that
came into the compound and did so
with every appearance Of considering
it the greatest possible fun. The dogs,
on the other hand, fled with their tails
between their legs. This fawn evil
dently imagined itself to be the guard
ian and protector of the establishment.
1 have a vivid picture in my recollec-
ton of the gentle little beast trans
formed into perfect fury, its coat
bristling on end to make it look twice
its usual size; head and tail def1antly
erect, stamping sharply on the thresh-
old with its dainty forefeet, demon
strations intended to frighten away
two pariah dogs who cringed before 1t
on the veranda, yet showed great de-
sire to intrude into the house. The dogs
finally sneaked off, depressed and de-
feated, and the conquering fawn swag-
gered back into the room to be praised
by me either for once disdaining to
chase its foes or deferred therefrom by
its strong dislike to the MONDAY sum-

The London Bus Driver.

Catch a driver when a clumsy dray-
man has fouled his wheels or blocked
his way or when a rival bus has stolen
a march on him. Then you will under
stand the Londoner's boast that the
cockney is the readiest, the wittiest, of
all his majesty's subjects. The tongue
is not his only weapon. 1 remember
once starting from the Mansion House
on bus the driver of which had been
maddened by some remark of the con-
ductor on the bus just in front of him.
The two belonged to rival companies
and were travelling the same route
They talked it over with pungency and
zest from the Mansion House to- St
PauPs. At the top of Ludgate hill, one
of the regular stopping places, the driv-
er made up his mind he could stand it
no longer. He got down from his seat
and pommeled the conductor heartily
for two minutes. 1t refreshed him so
much that at the next stopping place
he did it again. By the time Charing
Cross was reached it had become a
habit with him. Whenever the buses
stopped there would be a brisk setto,
the intervals between the halts being
filed with an exchange of prophecies
as to what would happen at the next
Sydney Brooks in Harper's Maga-
zine.

An Impudent Endorsement.

During one of his busy reception
hours, when President Lincoln was
talking first to one, then to another, of
the many who filed the room in the
White House, a gentleman asked if any
news had been received from John Nor
gan, whose Confederate cavalry were
raiding Kentucky and Ohio.
"We'll catch John some of these
days." replied Lincoln. 81 admire him.
for he is bold operator. He always
goes after the mail trains in order to
get information from Washington. On
his last raid he opened some mail bags
and took possession of the official CORE
spondence.
Zone letter was from the war depart
ment to lieutenant in Grants army.
1t contained captains commission for
him. RightsAnder the signature of A.
Lincoln the audacious Morgan wrote,
Approved, John Morgan and sent the
commission on its way. So there is one
officer in our army whose commission
bears my signature with the approval
of that daredevil rebel raider"

The Gardener In Old Rome.

He literally grew colonnades; he fash
ioned obelisks of box, cypress or lex.
He not only fattered his lord and mas
ter by inscribing his name in odorifer-
GUS herbs or gorgeous flowers that star
tied the garden with occasional tours
de force, but he actually trimmed trees
into family portraits or even those of
historical characters. He transformed
bushes and thick foraged shrubs into
the fantastic likeness of ships, lions,
bears and birds. And these rather de-
generate ''conceits" and extravaganccs
met with profound appreciation and
were rewarded with increase of wages
by the same individual who, having
tired of mere gladiatorial fights with
wild beasts in the Coliseum, only de
rived real thrills from such uncanny
performances as fights between women
and dwarfs or women with each other.
Pliny says the gardeners were the best
paid of all workers.-Ct. Clair Badde-
ley in Nineteenth Century.
