possible. The days work Is supposed to
end at ) o'clock. but one seldom finds an
agent stopping with the striking of the
hour
After day spent with any one of the
agents the predominant idea which IS
sure to be carried away Is the vast
amount of patience which is needed to
cope with the situations to be met on
every hand. Nor is it an easy days
work even for the outsider. Each dis
trict covers considerable ground, the
homes to be visited being scattered about
and most probably out OF the way of the
cars. After 1t is all over the visitor
finds that while walking is a pleasure
many times it can become fatiguing in
the extreme. This will not be alluded to
by the agent. at least not in connection
with herself. for the fact that there lis
such a ptiful case to be visited next"
always keeps her plodding along smiling
ly. Another realization which comes
with the days visit Is the vast number
of alleys which Washington possesses.
The National Capital. the city of wide
avenues and beautiful parks, is also the
home of narrow. little side streets where
hundreds of people live year in and year
out being In close proximity to stables,
rubbish heaps and other unattractive sur
roundings.

she decided that she was strong enough
to remain out OF a sick ward. and twirl-
ing her apron she left without more ado.
Cases equivalent to this, in which ap-
plicants have given information found out
afterward to be false, are frequently to
be encountered. Among the negro neigh
borhoOds this is most frequently in con-
nection with husbands who are in
variably dead or missing.
Even in the depth of despair and pow
erty cases Of independence are to be
found. A striking example of this was
seen in the case of one woman. She was
alone, and both limbs had been amputated,
one above and the other below the knee.
She was the proud possessor of a pair of
artificial limbs which cost $780," but
which, unfortunately, were out of repair.
With her limbs gone she was unable to
do anything, and 1t remained for the As
ISOLATED Charities to come to her aid and
have the damage remedied.
"Jes' let me get them legs of mine on
again and I'll be fit. / don't ask nothing
Of no one when l got them. but l sure
am bad off when l has to get around
without them" And as she hobbled along
on the floor 1t was not difficult to believe
her.
Another time when optimism seemed
to be the household motto was in the
case Of an old Irish woman. When the
agent knocked at the door there was a

But another phase Of the Chanticleer
are already in vogue in England and
will soon be quite the thing on this side
OF the ocean.
Much attention must be given to the
invitations used. Some method that will
call to mind the barnyard must be
chosen. The most popular SO far is TO
write the messages on corn husx. Then
every guest is expected to attend attired
like some character in Rostand's play,
and the scheme Of decoration used by the
hostess Is very similar to the scenic deco
rations of the play itself.
Where the craze will end II is impossi-
BILE to say.
Already there is Chantcleer whisky,
a particular brand that bartenders are
Instructed not to sell until after cock
crow In the morning. Those who have
partaken of the new brand boast that
very few libations from that Chanticleer
bottle make a person feel quite as trium-
plant as the autocrat OF the barnyard
himself.
Chandelier fabrics are on the market
and Chant cleer colors. In some OF the
fabrics the coiors are so blended as to
combine all the tones In the tail of q
rooster.
Chanticleer combs perhaps the most APP
propriately named of any Of the new fads.
are to be found on dressing tables every
where, and the day Is probably not far
distant when the old turkey wings that
our grandmothers used to sweep the
ashes from the hearth will be again called
into favor.
Such is the condition of affairs with

banks after having been paid for work
done here. Few Of us realize OF just
how much Importance 1t really is. The
sum which goes out from Washington is
only a small part of the enormous total
for all the states. Last year this grand
total equaled approximately eighty mil
lions Of dollars, or enough to equal a
per capita tax of 81 each on every in
habitant, man, woman and child, of the
wfoe United States.
The principal reason for this condition
of affairs lies in the foreigner Unborn
distrust Of banks. He not only inherently
looks upon private financial institutions
askance, but is without the facility to
correctly secure information which would
remove that prejudice. Here is where
the aGherents OF tie postal savings bank
are making their great stand. They be-
lieve that these millions had best remain
here in the custody of the Treasury. Any
thing connected with the government is,
to the foreigner, guarantee of safety
and reliability. That is. why they use
the money order instead Of bank checks
or drafts. and that is why, with the
postal savings bank in operation, a great
part of this American paid money would
stay to aid american manufacture.
Saturday afternoon Is the time when
the steps OF this alien population turn
toward the Pennsylvania avenue mecca.
And what n study Of types and faces an
hour spent in the west corridor will
afford All ages, all nationalties and
from every walk of. lower life. A Jew
from Germany brushes elbows with a
Jew from Asia; serving maid with
the fair hair of Norway crowds beside
a courtesan from the same country. An
Italian bootblack counts his nickels, while
by his side brother folds bills which
tell OF hours in bitches. A Syrian fruit
stand keeper fingers his hoard with
thoughts far away across the sea, In the
land of the sun, while over In q corner

and Montevideo. Uruguay. They will
sail on one-wax tickets, for they are to

South American animals, which will be
Installed at the Zoo here upon arrival.
The bison and a number OF gray squir-

for them a large assortment of South
American birds and small animals will be
welcomed to the land OF the free. Thrice
before plans were made to ship the bison
to foreign ports. but in each instance
illness or change of program kept
him on American soil. In the meantime
he has grown so rapidly that his quarters
ut the Zoo had to be enlarged twice.
This time however, he seems fated to
spend the rest OF his days on foreign
soil.
