The hot wave is over. \ cool spell is
coming Washington is due for relief.
Somewhere, far up In the north-just
exactly where nobody knows-a cool
breeze has started and is bearing steadily
down upon US. Faint forerunners of 1t
were felt this morning. But skeptical and
sadly-strained Washingtonians were afraid
to expect too much and went about all
the foreoon hoping, but saying nothing.
But at last the weather man spoke up
For the first time In ten days he handed
out soothing words and unequivocally
predicted drop in the temperature.
According to the hundred and one in
struments out at the weather bureau that
tel--sometimes-what the weather is 60
ing to do the Sultry, humid atmospheric
conditions that have prevailed along the
Atlantic coast for a week or more are
undergoing a change. And 1t Is all due
TO the breeze that started In the north.
There has been no rainstorm. Weather
experts say there are no indications that
one Is imminent in this section: but nev
ert heless and notwithstanding IL is going
to turn cool right away.
Tonight will mark the change. BY to-
morrow. according to the indications, the
thermometer and the barometer and the
hydrometer will all be behaving properly.
Those who are unfortunate enough to
be compelled to remain in the city over
the Fourth of July may do so in COM
parative comfort and without fear of
continuation through the holiday period
of one of the most remarkable and trying
hot spells that Washington has ever
known.
The figures shown by the thermome-
ters at the weather bureau and at the
downtown kiosk for today indicate the
reliability of the weather man on this
occasion. At the weather bureau the
highest temperature was 81 degrees
which prevailed from 10 o'clock am. to
. o'clock pm. The limit at the kiosk
was 81 degrees. at 2 o'clock pm.

dozen more women and children are in

gency treatment for their bruises and

homes.

in new location on one of the most
| prominent corners in the city-Woodward
avenue and State street. Probably 1000
people, principally women. were in the

The five-story building was literally

600 women were busy searching for bar
gains on the second floor when the panic
started.
Two women are said to have reached
simultaneously for the same article and
to have begun scuff1ing over it. This
caused little excitement in their i'm

attention OF those nearby.

A PiIurim Ruu Party.

A pilgrim rug party is the very
latest fad-shades of our grandmoth-
ers! Do you suppose under this dis
guise they would recognize the old
rag carpets which adorned every
room? Time has certainly turned
backward in its fight and the older
the fashion the newer, more up to date
II seems to be. The "hit-and-miss"
style of rug may somewhat resemble
the old rag carpet, but the exquisitely
woven ones of blue and white, green
and white and green and pink are
such artistic things that their relation
ship to the plebeian rag carpet is re-
mote, save in the method of prepar-
ing the materials. Only cotton fabrics
are used, and as in the olden day, a
pound and half ball weaves into a
rug of square yard in size. Well,
now for the party. 1t was for bride
elect, and the cards said "thimbles,"
so we were prepared to sew. We
found piles of dark blue denim strips
cut into about an inch wide. These
were sewed together and wound into
a hard ball. Then there was a pile of
white strips-before us was a COM
pleted rug. By the time refreshments
were served the rags were sewed. The
cost of weaving is very small The
bride-elect was delighted with this
new fashioned shower.

The Same Old John L

Old John L. Sullivan always had
fine Irish wit, and it remains with him
in his advanced age. Not long ago he
was appearing in a Baltimore theater
and the manager, for business rea-
sons, introduced him to wealthy
youth of the town. The youth was a
typical Chollyboy, the sort of a speci-
men that old John abhors. Sullivan
was washing his face in the theater
dressing room when the two arrived,
and they waited patiently until he had
finished his additions. When John
had dried his countenance he gave the
dude one look, and then said to the
manager: well, l congratulate you
Jack, is it boy or a girl?"
