CHEVY CHASE INVITES.
Ideal Spot for HOmeseeker to Ek-
tabIish His Family.

Among the subdivisions which are sthe
result OF the desire on the part OF urban
jewellers to live near the woods and fields
and still TO be in touch with the life and
business OF the city, none offers so many
advantages as Chevy Chase. In all the
region Of which it is a part. quiet sim
plicity reigns. The place is far from city
noises and the resident there feels the
restful ease of country life, while there is
united with it all the advantages in the
way Of water. drainage, sewers, and car
service which the more centrally sections
have.
The family which establishes its home
in Chevy Chase is not called upon to pur-
sue the vanishing dream OF the conve-
niences OF city life while at the same
time enjoying only half of those Of the
country. Both are blended in equal pro-
portions, and the subdivision is near
enough to the center of business not to
interfere with the bread-winner in going
to and from his home.
The history of Chevy Chase dates
back TO the administration Of President
Cleveland. During his first years in
Washington the Chevy Chase Land Com
pany was formed and began to improve
and sell TO homeseekers large lots. lust
beyond the northwestern boundary Of
the District. The subdivision is five
miles from the city, but since that day
the car service has been so improved
that it is not now more than thirty MIN
utes' ride from house 10 office for the
inhabitant there. and with the right car
there is no change.
The company was organized with $780,
600 capital, and could choose its buyers
From the first speculation was discour-
aged, and every effort was made to in
duce those who purchased lots 70 i'm
prove them with good and substantial
houses.
The result has been that there is now
at Chevy Chase an old and established
community with a fourishing school and
other advantages OF city life. 1t has all
had time to grow, and the homeseeker
who buys lot now at Chevy Chase does
not enter the mushroom surroundings of
and inlperfectly built subdivision. but
locality we'll laid out with street lines es-
tablished, neighbors in plenty. and a COM
munity that has all the elements of
stability.
OF all the subdivisions about Washing
ton it took on from the start and has
consistently maintained the name Of being
the best. The homeseeker should see
Chevy Chase before settling elsewhere.

Thanksgiving table, says the ST. Louis
Republic
The turkey who Is more fortunate than
the other beaux and bellies of Turkeydom
is in the bird cage at Forest Park. He IS
shrewd fellow. and doubtless is old
enough for wisdom teeth-but turkeys
don't grow teeth at ell.
He seemed yesterday TO be in an atti-
tude Of giving thanks. His head was
bowed, and he did not strut with the
pride that goes before downfall. but was
quite unpretentious and putting on no
airs
The park watchman at the bird cage
insists the turkey is the most KNOWN
bird he ever saw. That bird came out
here just about this time three years ago
and seemed to peck away at the screen
Of the cage. trying to get inside.
He seemed to say that he wanted TO
get in; that he knew he'd be safe there
from Thanksgiving platter. Well. sir.

and let him in. and about this time
every year he gets as affectionate and
tender TO me, that, say, honest. 1 wouldn't
have the nerve to kill him off now.
No, sir; that birds intelligence has
made 1t immune-is that what you call II?
You know. I've got so I love all the
creatures around here. being here so long.
and just this one thing has made me quit
eating Thanksgiving dinner of turkey.
And each year since / have looked into
the cage on Thanksgiving Day, and when

that's the only real Thanksgiving dinner
there is in town.

There is a great demand for semi-pre-
c!ous stones. One OF the newest IS aven-

top with a kid of contrasting color. black

New note paper has the tiniest border
OF pink or blue or gold. Some foreign
correspondence has the envelopes lined
with thicker paper Of contrasting color,
some of Scotch plaid. The newest mono
gram has long, slender letters. inter
woven very gracefully. Gold is the pre-
ferred color. Plain white monogrGms are
also much used.
The fancy beltings were never prettier.
They look like elastic, but have slight
cord In them, just enough TO keep them
trig and fit the waist line closely. They
are shown in all colors, or white with
colored figures, but the daintiest is all
white with raised silk figures. The
buckles that are worn are merely OF
frame work. and the betting is fastened

buckle itself.
Crocheung is more in favor than ever.
The new crocheted four-in-hand ties are
charming.
Another novelty much in vogue is the
crocheted pocket. 10 be worn with fancy
gowns, usually matching the latter.

TRY BIFOCAL GLASSES.
The Invisible Kind at EtE's Are
What the Near-siGhted Want.

II IS well to see things at their best in
this world. To many in these days this
is not possible, unless one has a good
pair Of glasses The place to buy them
is at the store Of Etz. He offers the in
visible bifocal glasses" which are the
most comfortable TO wear, and which give
the best results from the optical stand
point of any glasses ever made.
The two lenses composing the 'bifocaW
are not simply glued together, but are
fused into one piece Of glass and then
ground to suit the imperfections Of the
eye. There is no seam in the glasses
and they do not have that old appearance
which many Of the common kinds OF
glasses have. The cost is only a little
more, while the satisfaction in wearing
them is vastly beyond the small margin
of expense.
Visiting shoppers should call at Etz'. If
they wear glasses. and see what he has
to offer.

Against Havoc Caused By

Axes Are Used to Make Build

Main Avenue Of Big Resort Looks
as II Struck BY Cyclone.

New York, May 6.-Armed with
axes and guarded by squad of 20
policemen, gang Of men, directed by
Durbin Van Week, assistant commits
sioner Of public works of Brooklyn,
descended upon Surf avenue, the main
thoroughfare of Coney Island, today
and Topped off every part of any hild
ot 4 building, stand or sign which eX-
tended beyond the court yard line.
While the indignant owners protested.
soda fountains were chopped in two,
Eankfurter stands were torn apart,
overhanging signs were pulled down;
cane ringing racks and the dozen diff
ferent catch-pcnny devices. which line
the avenue from end to end, were piled
into trucks and carted away. When
the raiding squad had completed it's
work the avenue looked as though
cyclone had swept through it. At least
20 truck loads of material were hauled
Off.
The loss to the owners of these
stands will be considerable as many of
them paid extremely high rates for
the privilege of maintaining their
stands within easy reach of the hun
dreds Of thousands of people who
patrol Surf avenue. during the season.
Borough President Coer issued an
order last week that all the incum-
brances extending over the court yard
line must disappear today. but none of
the owners paid any attention to it.
When the raiders started to work the
owners hurriedly moved their goods
out of the way of the raiders and then
denounced them. A curious crowd of
d thousand onlookers gathered to witt
ness the proceedings. Although the
denunciations were vigorous there was
10 resistance.
When the work was done the COM
missioner notified the proprietors that
10 feet more Of the membranes will
be chopped off if they arc not removed
by next Thursday. This will place all
the stands inside the building line.
