Rushing Trolley Line work.

The work of construction along the line
of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapo-
lis electric railway is being rushed with all
possible facility, and with the prompt de-
livery Of material it is not unlikely that the
road will be complete early next spring.
Already there has been a delivery Of rails
at Odenton. and the work of laying the
rails will be, begun this month. The laying
of the rails will greatly facilitate the work,
inasmuch as this will permit of the operation
of small trains hauled by engines. by means
of which material may be carried along the
line with greater dispatch than would be
possible IL teams were used. Secretary
Treasurer Masterton today announced that
the contract for the steel bridge work had
been awarded to the Interstate Engineering
Company OF Bedford. Ohio and this work,
Il Is expected, win be completed within six
months The officials of the company arc
now considering the type OF cars to be used
on the line. and 1t is likely that a. big con-
tract will be awarded during the early
summer. While no decision has been reach
ed as to the exact type OF car, the officials
state that they viii be the handsomest and
most modern In operation on any intercity
line in the United States.

the customer and suggesting a change, he

two flowers wouldn't last half through

ut is true of many flowers. Pans:es.
FOR instance, last twice as long if they are
not combined with any other flower and
the same may be said of violets. Jonouils
and d%affodils, on the other hand, seem to
ger a new lease of life if you combine con-
siderable green with them. Carnations
Will go all to pieces if you combine them
with roses, although the roses do not seem
to be affected.
1T IS more striking in combinations of
green with flowers. If you try to use an
entirely different type of foliage from
what the flower is used to, it won't last so
.ong. So / never put feathery foliage with
lllles-of-the-valley, for you know it's nat

thick leaves with carnations, for their fol-

STAINS BOY KING.
Remarkable Pen Portrait of the Newly

In his readable article His Majesty, the King of Spain" in the February Ev- erybody's, Vance Thompson says;
 "rhe gloomy child had grown Into a bonny youth. He was slim, supple, tall. It would have been hattery to call him good looking. A nose long and thick and curved--a more than Bourbon nose; the heavy chin and protrudlng lower lip of the Hapsburgs; the eyes large and dark and bright, the skin, too, dark In the Spanish way-he was distinguished, remarkable, peculiar. And with all that. he was as viyacious, as frank and jolly as a college boy at football game. He had the true Spaniard's enthusiasm for the bloody sport of the corrida dc toras. It was easy to see why this big, natural, enthusiastic boy should be popular. In fact. Alfonso has the first requisite of a King; he understands his people-sym- pathizes with them and likes them.
