'Possan1S Are Smiling
On The Market Way

Why does a 'pc7sum grin?
There are theories on the subject as
old as the possum tribe itself As the
result of a new enc which has been ad-
vanced in Washington. all the others
are slated for discardment.
Hereafter the question promises TO
b.. why does a BILLY 'Possum smileF
And the answer viii be, Because he
gets so cents for IL.
Members of BHIy's family are up In
trees. over the report that he is using
his prestige through being a. friend Of
President Taft as means Of graft,
and is charging 2 half dollar every
time he makes a new acquaintance
They are lodging the issue wherever
they can.
But the fact remains that Billy is
hanging around Center Market: looking
fat and prosperous; making more
friends every day, and, incidentally, get
ting we'll paid for il.
Last year, WashingtOnians we're given
chance TO meet Billy 'Possum,
through his connection with the White
House, and, this year, apparently, they
are anxious TO resume the acquaintance
on more familiar terms.
Billy spent the summer on Maryland
and Virginia estates, and has come TO
the Capital this season earlier than he
did last year. From all indications, he
has a strenuous season in store.

SHADED WINDOWS
PLACE FOR FERNS

Many rooms which have not the Dgbt
necessary for success with towering
plants during winter are well adapted
for the culture Of what are termed fine
foliage plants, such as are grown for
their ornamental foliage and fine habits.
A partly shaded winaow IS Just what
some of our finest specimens Of ferns
delight in, and when associated with
hyacinths or tulips OF other dubious
plants, a charming effect can be oh
tanned. Take a plant or two Of some
pretty fern and place alongside a few
plants of different colored hyacinths
and nothing can surpass for beauty a
window so filled specially IN winter.

Innfc Decorations Haze
Changed Little From Past

The tunic of today implies a border,
and this because we have not departed
ton of that earlier oyerhanging skirt
which was invariably ornamented in one
way or another. The embroidery and
jeweled trimmings used long ago were
made in the shape Of straight bands
and afterwara applied TO these upper
skirts.
Tunic decorations have in no way de-
parted from the border idea; most or
