PAY TWO FARES,
NEW CAR PLAN
Suburbanites Want to Keep
City Passengers Off
Their Trolleys.

4 movement is on foot TO secure an
amendment 10 the Union Station track
age bill which viii authorize the cleo
trio railroad companies, operating cars
beyond Che District OF Columbia. 10
designate certain cars upon which two
fares must be paid by all persons TAX
ing thern-the nrst fare for passage in
the District ana The SECOND for the hrst
fare after the car leaves the District
line.
The object Of this measure is TO en-
able the railroads to overcome the pres
ent cOngested condition Of suburban
travel. it being impossible, under ex-
isting conditions. TO prevent passengers
residing in the District from crowding
the cars upon which passengers living
beyond the District must necessariI
travel.
For example. it is claimed that the
Rockville cars of the Rockville and
Georgetown line are, during certain
busy hours. much crowded, while the
West Chevy Chase cars, going out with
iE few minutes OF me same time, have
many empty seats. II Is claimed that
If such an amendment we're taken ad-
vantage Of by that railroad, II would
result IN providing seats for the Dis
trict people on their own cars, and re-
lieving the congestion on the Rockville
cars

Meanina of EabIan policy.

A Fabian policy in war consists in
wearing out the enemy by delays, mis-
leading movements, feints Of attack,
etc. 1t is called Fabian because 1t is
the policy that was adopted by Fabius
Maximus, who commanded the Roman
army in the second Punic war. He
was appointed to the command just
after the army had suffered a defeat,
and he knew that In its disheartened
condition and with its complement of
raw recruits 1t could not successfully
oppose troops flushed with victory and
led by their great commander Hanni-
bal. He therefore attempted to tire
out the enemy by countermarches
ambuscades and skirmishes, avoiding
pitched battle. This he continued
until the Roman senate interfered.

Trimminas a eirI can Make.

This is to be Il season Of trimmings,
and the girl who is clever enough TO
make her own can save her purse.
One of the easiest for home manufac-
ture is thick cotton cord covered with
bias silk sewed on the machine and
then used In the form of braiding.
AS the cord is large, the work is
quickly done when .sewed into curves,
scrolls or circles 1t is specially eff
fective on net or mousseline. 1t is
sewed by hand with loose stitches.
Another SNOWY trimming that can
be made at home Is from bands Of
lowered silk cut to outline flowers and
Rppliqued to white or ecru mousseline
de sole or chiffon. The raw edges are
finished with a gold or silver cord,
very narrow, or with ruffie Of the
narrowest ribbon that can be bought.

When hanninn curtains.

A house decorator gives this impor-
tant advice to women who are arrang-
Ing their homes. They should not
hang curtains of one color against a
wall paper of another color They
should not join carpets Of opposite
colors. They should not put different
papers on the walls Of adjoining rooms
which have wide archways or folding
doors between. These are simple sug-
gestions. but they r>ean a great deal.
The woman who is guided by them
will arrive ut much better results than
she who ignores them. When IL is not
possible to have the carpets alike in
rooms that are joined by wide open
lngs a rug should be laid over the long
seam to hide Il.

COSTUME SUPPER.
Guests Come in Character and Act II
During the Evening.

OuTiH9 NtS GNGhiHas
An old fashioned supper. served at 8
O'Clock by candlelight, makes an in
teresting change from conventional
dinners.
Ask your guests to come informally
and in old fashioned attire. The wo-
men will don their grandmothers'
clothes for such an occasion and look
lovely.
A man, alas, usually hates dressing
up" but suggest that he wear jabot
of lace over his immaculate white,
stiff bosomed shirt and sew lace ruff
fes in his sleeves, and he will be
pleased with his appearance at once
But, mind, this is only in confidence
In case one or two truly object. 9th
erwise beg them to come in the pic
turesque, romantic dress Of long ago.
1t adds greatly if the guests come in
character and act it throughout the
evening But it must be borne in mind
that the guests must not number more
than twelve or fourteen if a single ia
BILE is to be used The chance for real
fun and informally lies in a small par
ty. If large costume supper be Civ
en- the small tables should be used.
Have no light but candlelight, al
ways the most becoming, and a bare
table A large bowl Of old fashioned
flowers may adorn the middle Of the
table on a plain linen centerpiece,
showing as little as possible.
Large wooden plates of bread cut
thlckly. butter made into small fat
pats, dishes Of apples and nuts and
homemade candies complete the table
furnishing. Coffee and tea should be
served 10y the hostess, the guests help
ing to pass the cups.
For the supper:
BroIled oysters on Toast.
Broiled Chicken and Sausage.
Baked Potatoes. Apple Sauce.
Cold Slaw. Corn Bread.
Vegetable Salad
Hot Wafles. with Sirup.
After supper the guests may enjoy
old fashioned games, either quiet or
romping, and in the middle Of the
evening, If an open fire is available,
popping corn is simple pleasure, and
while eating it hot lemonade may be
served
