Only Question Of Money.

With this In view Commissioner West
viii ask ". y. Stevens, superintendent
OF the bathing beach, FOR a statement as
10 how much OF the 5000 appropriated
this year for the maintenance of the
beach could be expended to provide two
attendants one for each Of the two
floating houses. II IL is sufficient TO
provide such supervision The Commis-
sioner will have the houses tOwed 10
places convenient 10 the car lines. in
order that the plan may be inaugurated
this summer.
The recent agitation against nude
bathing along the shores Of the Poto-
mac above the Aqueduct bridge, which
was suppressed by the police after
many complaints mad been received, has
convinced COmmissiOneY West that
some method OF meeting this situation
is needed. II the nude batheTs are pre-
vented by aw from bathing in public,
they cannot be taken care OF In better
way than by utilizing these two tenn
porary floating bath houses. he says.

Cnrd on Mans Hat Affords Amuse-
ment to state Street ThronE.
State street was crowded with shop
pcrs yesterday afternoon, when young
man came out of a popular hat store
wearing a new crush hat There was
not only the conscious look upon his
face which indicated that fact but he
carried his head in the peculiar way
that only the possession Of new and
stylish hat can produce in the average
young man. Everybody that looked at
him saw at a glance that he wore a new
hat
II was not alone from the signs al
ready mentioned that the circumstance
was apparent. and the young man, OF
course. did not give himself away by
carrying his discarded hat tied up IN
brown paper under his arm. No; pu'
| on the band of his hat was the shop
ticket. bearing the price mark ana
some other cabalistic characters intelii-
glble to no one outside of the hat store
On he went, all unconscious OF the
attention he was attracting and OF the
remarks his hat was calling forth
Young women looked at his hat and
giegled. but he did not imagine for q
moment that anything in his appear
ance was the cause Of their mirth. least
OF all the new hat which proudly adorn
ed his head. But alas! the young maj
was soon to be rudely awakened by
friend calling his attention to the adorn
ment Of his hat.
The telltale ticket was soon removed
and the young man went his way sad
der and wiser. He carried himsei
humbly and looked neither to the righ
nor left, but boarded the nearest stree
car In order to escape as quickly a
possible from the scene Of his humilia
t,on. Something in his eye indicates
that II would be long time before n
