To the Editor of The Washington Times:
The Times is 50 ready at all times TO sd-
vocate what appears TO the advantage Of the
District that ! would bespeak its voice and in
fuence in behalf Of the long desired appropria-
ton of 100000 for the widening and grading OF
Fourteenth Street Road.
The Commissioners have repeatedly recon-
mended this appropriation, the granting Of
which is the more reasonable inasmuch as nearly
all the land required for widening the road
has been donated by the owners. The sum
named would be expended almost entirely in
the work needed to make a suitable surface for
the tracks Of the Capital Traction Railway,
which is but waiting this improvement to ex-
tend its Fourteenth Street line toward the
northern boundary Of the District.
At the present time but one line leads in
that direction-the Brightwood Railway. DON'T
you think we need anotheTf And if you do,
don't you think the widening Of Fourteenth
Street Road is imperatively necessary?

Boudoir Talk With Women
By DAFFoDIL DUCKS.

The average woman never tells the
truth to a man. especially If he asks for
it. But when she retires to her rose
colored boudoir and takes down her hair.
and allows her maid 10 care for it, with
the aid of the thousand ivory and silver
trihes on her dressing table, then the
average woman tells the truth-wrong
side out Hence all advice intended for
women should be taken by contraries,
like dreams. because they live in dream
land, especially when they have a hus-
band and FIVE children to take care OF.
It is Of the highest Importance to every
woman TO be known as a lady. The old
fashioned idea that IL IS more important
to be a lady than to be known as one is
quite passed now. To be up TO date, the
first requisite is clothes.
No lady will wear a pair of gloves that
have been cleaned. Neither will she be
seen in shoes of last months fashion.
1t is the little things that count. With
a handsome tailor-made gown twice
year. a reception toilet. a dozen en-
broidered shirtwaists. and two or three
good cloth skirts. besides her house
gowns, almost any woman can present a
respectable appearance.
No really smart husband Will be seen
with a wife who has not retained her
youthful face and figure. Time should
be taken each day for beauty culture.
The face. hair. teeth. and nails should
each receive at least an hours attention,
and while It is not necessary to turn
somersaults or do trapeze tricks, gym
nasium work Is imperative.
Every woman should understand cook
ing and be able TO make a salad or a
cocktail without the use of a recipe. She
should never allow the smell OF COOK
ing TO cling to her garments. or be
frowsy In the kitchen. but wear gown
as coquettish as any in her wardrobe.
II her husband finds her in the kitchen
when he comes home. however. he VIII
be likely to go around the corner and
call on the yellow haired girl who plays
ragtime. He should never be allowed
to SIT down to a cold dinner.
A woman should be the companion of
her husbands leisure, but she will be

the Balkans are people her husband useo

but without giving any time 10 It. Her
husband may not like society himself,
but he will have no respect for her IL he
finds her looked down upon by other
women. In order to be popular with
other women she should not know too
much She should be able 10 discuss the
servant question and the fashions as one

Representative Cannon has been making

A pisreputable BOnaparte.

Princess Eugenie's grandfather was
that disreputable LueIen Benaparte.
Prince of Canine. who during the
reign of Napoleon III was deprived Of the
use OF the imperial nveries for having
placed his eQuipages at the disposal Of
one OF the queens Of the Partisan half
world, who was in consequence taken
for the Empress Eugene and permitted
to drive beneath the archway OF the
Arc de Triomphe. instead Of around it,.
He headed the insurrection of 1S4S
against Pope Plus TX at Rome and is
saddled by history with the RESPONSE
bility for the shocking murder OF the
famous Italian patriot, Count Rossi.
whose son subsequently, on the Partisan
boulevards, spat into the face of the
prince IN vain attempt TO provoke him
into fighting a duel The princes re-
fusal to fight had the effect of closing
every door in Paris against him. In
spite of his membership of the impe-
rial family.
Perhaps l should add that two OF the
daughters of the late Princess Essling.
by her first marriage. are each married
to Princes Murat, Cecile being the wife
of Prince Joachim Murat. who is the
head of the house. while Violette is
married to his cousin, Prince Eugene.
The Murats have a strain of American
blood in their veins, for the father Of
Prince Joachim was born at Borden
town, N j., his mother being a Miss
Frazer. Of Philadelphia.

The Kicker.
The Proper Course for Him to Pursue in
the Fighting Of Abuses.

A protest against the kicker has ap-
peared in The Times, in which the
writer asks why, instead of writing
letters to the papers, these folk with
grievances do not strive to do away
with the abuses Of which they com
plain. There is point in this. Not
long ago somebody wrote to The
Times a pathetic account Of his having
been drenchod with water by some
employe of the District who plainly
did not know how to behave. For
this the District government was not
directly responsible, inasmuch rs no
city official can be absolutely certain
that the men employed by him are al
ways going to behave properly. The
thing for this kicker TO do was to adj
dress letter to the head Of the de-
partmeat which employed the man.
asking that he be punished or dis
missed.
A similar "kick" appeared in the
columns of Pennsylvania paper,
from a discharged patient Of one of
the hospitals. He asserted that trained
Eurses were cruel, dishonest, and
worse, because Of alleged neglect OF
his needs, ill-treatment Of complain
ing patients, and use of fruits anu

A Strange Coincidence.

Napoleon's great victories Of Wagram
and EssIing were fought on two sue
cessive days. July and s, 1909,
Princess OF Wagrami and the Princess
of Essling have just died on two sue
cessive days, that is to say within a
distance Of twenty-four hours from one
another. They were both of them mem
bers Of the jewish race though con-
verts to Roman Catholicism. the Princess
Of Wagram being daughter Of one OF
the Barons RothschiId of Frankfort,
while the Princess Essling was daugh-
ter OF the late Madame Charles Heine, OF
Paris, so famous for her philanthropy,
which won for her the officers cross of
the Legion Of Honor
The Princess de Wagram was married
in 1882 TO the grandson Of that famous
Field Marshal Berthier who was one Of
the principal generals Of the first Ma
poleon, and created by him Sovereign

Wagram, in recognition OF the services
which he rendered in winning the great
victory at Wagram After the downfall

so many other of Napoleon's generals.

forced to surrender his prineipality of

France by King Louis XVIII, with the

Known by Other Titles.

With regard to the Princess Essling
she has been known by two other titles
besides the one which she bore at the
time of her death For her first hus-
band was Gen. Michael Ney, Duke OF
Elehingen. while her second husband
bure the title of Duke Of Rivoli until
he succeeded his brother as Prince of
Essling. The death of the Duke of Elch-
ingen remains TO this day shrouded in
mystery which his relatives and the
authorities have alike refrained from
making any attempts TO unravel. He was
found slain in 1851 in deserted house
at Croissy, half way between Paris ana

cumstances thar it was concluded that
public and private interests would be
best served by abstaining from any in
