old Shells Found in Wen.

Much interest has been aroused in army
and navy circles in Washington by the
finding Of a number Of cases Of old pro-
jectiles OF a type obsolete many years
ago in a well on the site of the new Ma
rine Barracks building. near the navy
yard. The existence Of the well was not
known, and there is no record Of the

Shorter Dinners,

Nothing has done more to shorten
the over-elaborate dinner than the Gus
tom of restaurant dining. In cafe
one feels easy at inviting people to
steak with two vegetables, salad and
cheese and coffee At home oysters
and soup, entrees and dessert would
also have been deemed necessary. So
many people dine in restaurants now
that this simplicity is creeping into
the cheerfully selected little home din
ner. One may invite even ones formal
acquaintances TO dinner without tax
ing, as someone puts It, either the
limitations OF the cook. the hostess
the family purse, or the patience OF
the guests"
