PLANS DISCUSSED BY
EAST SIDE COMMITTEE

A meeting OF the committee on east
side thorougbfare was called yesterday
afternoon by Chairman Cooke Several
plans, which were submitted by local en-
gineers and others interested, were dis
cussed, but. as there was not enough
members present 10 form a quorum, no
action was taken.
A plat OF the Waterman street section,
prepared by the city engineer In connec-
ton with the proposition to extend water
man street through Arnold block to the
new postoffice building. was discussed and
looked over with great interest.
A number OF the members have con-
sidered this plan favorably. The chief
objection Is that the present layout or the
streets makes the change from Waterman
to North Main street so sudden that IL Is
dangerous for the cars and vehicles.
Under the plan discussed yesterday
there would be no turn at the foot or
Waterman street IA the removal OF the
Arnold block would give hundred-foot
highway for vehicles and the cars could
be taken off North Main street from
Waterman street 10 Market square. and
running through Steeple street they could
return through the new street ana then
TO North Main.

CHINESE MINISTER'S DAUGHTER

Every visitor to Washington who
can scrape up good excuse to visit the
Chinese legation always does SO. The
home of the present representative OF
the Sun of Heaven is particularly hos
pitable mansion, and the minister has
the glad hand always extended. His
legation is in the west end Of Wash
ington and is built from plans selected
by the former minister, WI Ting-fang,
the worthy predecessor Of Sir L1ang
Cheng. It is of colonial architecture
with a few changes in the interior. In
stead Of the stately winding staircase
seen in Mount Vernon and at the man
sion at Arlington, there are two stair
ways, and the second floor shows a cir
cular gallery from the front Of which
everything which occurs on the draw
ing room floor Is visible.
If the casual visitor chances to
glance toward the second floor he will
Invariably catch the glimpse of a
bright-eyed girl who leans over the
balustrade and watches everything
with frank and keen interest. This is
the young daughter of the minister,
Miss Lu Wing, a pretty maiden nearly
18, who, under certain restrictions, will
make her bow to Washington society
next winter. Miss Lu is intensely in
terested in all that concerns the com
ings and goings of America. When she
is not watching the visitors to the le-
cation from her point Of vantage In the
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-09-20

corridor she is perched like bird in
one Of the dormer windows in the attic,
devouring all that goes on in the
streets.
The minister views his daughter Is
curiosity with indulgence, but he does
that obtained in the fashion described.
On gala nights, when the legation is
thrown open for dinner parties or re-
ceptions, Miss Lu has great time
Nearly all her fathers guests know
her weakness and she spends hours
catching feeting glances Of the guests
as they pass in and out. She spends
much time in the dressing room, and
every feminine guest undergoes thoro
inspection, and many ladies like Mrs.
Rockhill and Mrs. John w. Foster de-
light this simple oriental maiden by
saying a few words Of Chinese to her
and telling he1 about the party. The
minister has promised his daughter that
just as soon as she learns English she
can be introduced into the strange and
fascinating world that she admires so
fervently.

HOME IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY

A family in Salem, Mass, has organ
lied within the family circle what is
called "the Home I'm provement socie-
ty.' The family consists of father,
mother and three children, all Of whom,
excepting, Of course, the mother, are
working and earning. This society has
box With the cover glued on ana a slit
cut in the top. Into this box the diff
ferent members Of the family drop their
loose change. Pennies, nickels and
dimes, which would otherwise be fritz
tered away, are thus collected and no
body is the loser. Whenever some i'm
provement in the: home is desired, such
as pePapeGng gs fo TO a9a Rs ba
the society holds a meeting and com
mittee Of two is appointed with full
power to act. The treasury is then
drawn upon to pay the bill. In this
way the house in question has been
made very attractive and with money
which has not been missed. Further
more, it keeps alive the interest in the
home and every member feels that he
or she has an invested interest there.
The ideal home is the one which keeps
the children interested, and it seems to
me that right here is one solution Of
the problem. In this line comes an
other suggestion which, while not, per.
haps, new, is worthy Of consideration.
A box into which can be dropped the
surplus from each week s allowance
will accumulate a fund in a remarkably
short space of time. A friend of mine
allowed himself So week pocket
money. At the end Of every week he
| took whatever change remained in his
pocket and put it in the box, be it
much or little. Each Monday morning
he started with So in clear pocket
It was astonishing tor shin how rapidly the s

GENTLY large to make several impor
| tant purchases for the home, according
to Good Housekeeping.
