NOlSeleSS Flat Latest Fad.

Washington, June 2-"Noiseless
Hats" a recent and beneficial innoya-
ton, is taking Washington by peaceful
storm. In nearly all of the recent
apartment-house leases the 'noiseless
clauses" are inserted. They provide
that tenants must wear rubber heels
on their shoes, equip baby gocarts,
carriages and all practicable toys with
rubber, and keep rubber tips on all
chairs, tables and movable furniture.
All this rubbering is paid for by the
landlords, who receive full value in the
eagerness FOR which the noiseless flats
are sought out by old residents. Rub
Der shops are established near most Of
the apartment houses, where the ten
ants are bound by contract to 20 to
have their rubbering done.
As natural result Of the quiet Of
material things, voices Of tenants in
these noiseless fats are, II is said, tax
ing on velvet tone. In the absence
Of the sharp elatter elsewhere prevail
ing, inhabitants Of the rubber-tired
apartment house find it no longer nee
essary, as many Of them formerly did,
to shout in order to be heard. The
rubber" or velvet" voice is becom-
ing a noticeable feature in those who
have lived longest in the padded hotels.
