ness stand. that l can't understand how
he could ever stoop to do such things
He's all right and think q good hus-
band" said Policeman Sager, who made
the arrest, but he's been doing this
thing too often when in his cups. I've

jeweled embroidery and a panel Of the
same from waist line to train. Her large
light hat was trimmed with shaded green
plumes.
In describing the use and effects of
the creams and lotions which she her

Site for the L'Enfant Memorial.


As Commissioner Macfarland referred
10 Maj. LEnfant being fittingly honored
hy the erection of statue In one of our
public parks in the near future in addi-
ton TO the memorial at Arlington ceme-
terry. will you allow a reader to suggest
what seems a most appropriate site for
this statue?
Next Monday life-siZed statue of that
pioneer of a new era in our citys growth,
Gov. Alexander r. Shepherd. will be un-
Vcilcd TO the gaze of the citizens of the
city he loved well and for whom he ac-
complished great results, which will ever
remain as the testimonial to his service,
together with all of Washington's future
greatness. which he accomplished by her
culean and masterful feats at the time
when il required such efforts to bring
about results as We now behold. Does 1t
not seem eminently appropriate that be-
side this rugged pioneer who perfected
the work of the gifted and farsighted
j. Enfant-one the designer. the other the
master builder-there should rise a me-
mortal in bronze to L'Enfant?
Perhaps this suggestion Is not new and
that possibly those who have charge OF
the parking in front of the Municipal
building contemplate just such method
OF further honoring Maj. LEnfant at the
other end of the square, but. il so. | can
only commend such a most appropriate
place. in my humble Judgment. for such
q memorial f. MAURICE cox.

RELICS OF WASHINGTON.
Fire Tongs and Shovel He Owned
When President

At a recent auction Of household effects
at the home of Marine T. Krepps, one
of the oldest residences of Harpers
Ferry. located near Bolivar Heights,
theer were on view, but rot for sale, two
articles which would attract attention
and ready purchasers in any part of the
world.
They were a pair of brass fire tongs
and a shovel once the property of Gen.
Washington. or rather of Mrs. Washing
ton. and presented by her to the grand
mother of Mrs. Krepps.
During the administration of the first
President and while he resided in Phila-
delphia they had as neighbors one fam
lily of Burrows or Burriss. Mrs. Wash
ington knew and admired Miss Margaret
Burriss, who later became Mrs. Downing.
and 1t was upon the occasion of her re-
moval to Charles Town, w. Va. that Mrs.
Washington made her the gift of this
shovel and tongs. Mrs Downing spent
the remainder of her days in Charles
Town and Is buried in the EPISCOPAL
cemetery at that place.
The articles are made Of brass and iron,
in design typical of the workmanship of
the last century and is In remarkable
state of preservation. They are valued
very highly by Mrs. krepps who. at pres
ent, resides in this city with her daugh-
ter. the wife of DR.. N. f. Webb.
Mrs. kreppS, who is nearly ST years of
age is a most remarkable old lady and
her proud story of the tongs and shovel,
together with other memories of the long
ago clustered about old Harpers Ferry,
is calculated to entertain and interest
her intervieWers.
