past. And Col. Roosevelts suggestion
that each Cabinet member bring a.
friend to the nine dinners held during
the winter will be in vogue again.
Remembering this change in Executive
custom. one recalls. the little incident
that led to the change. The colonel,
when present, was a gregarious soul,
and the thought OF dining nine times
with the same old crowd palled upon
him.

from going to sleep
The Cabinet was rfghteously shocked,
as the Cabinet consistently was during
the colonefs administration. Secretary
OF State Root was considered a brilliant
after-dinner speaker, and his was the
hardest jolt of all. Nevertheless, the
Cabinet decided upon the introduction OF
new guests at Cabinet dinners. and the
result has been wholly satisfying 30 fan
Just an After-dinner Story.
Several stories OF state dinners artss
from their graves at this time of the
year. t.ne OF the best is the tale Sherry
Hopkins tells Of a fine diplomat of the
old school who drifted into John Cham
oerlin's one night and insisted on tell
ing, in perfectly audible voice. where
he had been. At that time Chamber
Inns was the headquarters for sociabI5
Congressman.
1T was a delightful dinner, subj" the
old diplomat told ChamberlIn, a most
delightful dinner. None Of the guests
gargled their soup; none OF them used
their forks for toothplcks, and I no
tIced when the cigars were passed that
each guest only took one"
Remarkable" said Chamberlin, who
felt he ought to. say something
Yes" said the old diplomat, re-
hectively, lit was wonderful It was
the first dinner 1 have attended for a.
long time where not a single member
Of the House Of Representatives was
present"
And one by one the half dozen Con-
gressmen who were in the room at the
time, sneaked quietly for the hallway.
This, Of course, isn't altogether true
Washington society makes a new Con-
gresham go through a course Of sprouts

And by the time he has taken his course
in training, he can usually tell the diff

Remember those plaster-cast limbs that
ladies' furnishing stores use in showing
hosiery
There is a store near the corner of
Thirteenth and F streets northwest that
very nearly caused Rev. Zed Hetzel Copp
to lead a crusade last Thursday. The
shop closed early and pulled down the
curtains of the big show windows so that
the upper half could not be seen. 1t was
around o'clock when passers-by. stroll
ing along F street, were startled to be-
hold two charming limbs clad in blue
silk stockings. The delicate ankle, curv-
ing gracefully, met rounded calf. At the
knee the curtain interfered.
Quite an, enthusiastic crowd was gath
cred around the window when Rev. Zed
Hetzel Copp happened by. One look he
took. and then he blanched and fled for
Sergt. Lee. The sergeant was untying
himself from a lamp post when Rev. Mr..
Copp sprinted up and seized him by the
arm.
Come with me-" he said: come with
me and see what you will see'
Something good?" asked the sergeant
''Hortfolev said DR.. Copp.
That being the case, I'll go along"
Arm in arm, they started for the wicked
furnishing store.
Look" said the Rev. Mr.. Copp, as
they came in front of the window.
For moment happy smile wreathed
the sergeant's face. Then 1t changed to
look Of deep and utter sorrow. He
turned on DR.. Copp.
And you walked me three blocks to
look at pair of plaster-cast laigs," he
said. /'Well, I've seen 'em. That's

From Thanksgiving until Lent the Pres

and the more or less brilliant members

world will place their white dress vests
against the solid mahogany tables OF
state dining-rooms and introduce into

District Wards
May Turkey
Thanksgiving
Or It May Be Roast Pork or
Oysters if Economy
Rules.

What will It be-turkey or roast pork
or oysters for the Thanksgiving Day
dinner OF the District wards? The in
mates of the various penal, charitable,
and correctional institutions of the city
are wondering. And so are Purchasing
Officer Hargrove and Secretary Wilson.
Of the Board of Charities-but to them
1t doesn't mean so much. It's a mere
matter to them; it's a question OF vital
Importance to the wards
And the inmates and the District Of
ficiaIs Will keep on wondering until Mon
day. November q. On that date the su-
perintendents OF the various institutions
will send their menus 10 the purchasing
officer. The menu greatly depends on the
recommendation Of the superintendent.
But Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Hargrove have
the last word to say, and II they think
that the superintendent recommendation
is too eXtravagant in comparison with
the remainder OF the annual approprl-
alton for that institution, then a cheaper
bill Of fare will be substituted.
But conditions now are all favorable
and II is quite likely that the Districts
wards as a whole will eat turkey on
Thanksgiving Day. The price at present
is very reasonable-at any rate, not be-
yond the purse OF the District govern
ment. And besides, the institutions all
have fairly large remainders from their
annual appropriations. So It may be
safely said that the question Of turkey
or not turkey rests with the superin-
tendents.
The menu for one institution-the Home
for the Aged and Infirm, at Blue Plains
Is already settled. And turkeys not the
piece de resistance. They raise hogs over
there at Blue Plains, and Supt. Fay be-
lieves in economy. But roast pork has
long been the mainstay OF the Thanks
giving Day linner at the Blue Plains
institution, and the inmates have no
hopes to shatter by the announcement
that the policy will be again followed q
Supt Whitaker. of the District Jail,
IS undecided at present about the recon-
mendation he will make. He has some
good fat hogs down at Occoquan, and
II is not unlikely that the men in stripes
will go without turkey. The sons of
rest of the city, however. are to feast
on the real thing. Supt. Thyson, Of the
Municipal Lodging House. has provided
the local hoboes with turkey in the past,
and he will include 1t in his menu this
year. 1t is expected that there viii
be a goodly company OF tramps to par
take of the fowls. The house grows
noticeably in popularity around Thanks
giving, and the fame of the Thanks
giving bill of fare has spread to dis
tant cities.
Altogether there will be seven institu-
tions provided with Thanksgiving din
ners-the Home for the Aged and In
firm, the District jail the tuberculosis
Hospital. the Municipal Lodging House,
the Temporary Home for Soldiers and
Sailors. the Industrial Home School, and
the Colored Industrial Home School.

sioner Rudolph sees them, and so does
Maj. Judson. The major and the Com
missioner both fear gravely that Gen.
Johnston can never be warmed up to
appreciate a real practical value of the
plan. He may, but they are doubtful.
He would probably insist upon a strict
secrecy in prices and would require his
colleagues to pay him a visit before they
went out of a morning wherein the fixed
rate would be decided.
When they got the general on the back
of a wagon with a handful of potatoes
in one hand some bystander would ask
the price.
Commissioner Johnston would look him
sternly in the eye.
Tell you the price," he would reply.
Il regret thai is impossible. You will
have to wait until this matter passes
through Official channels and then DR..
Tindall will tell you. II you want to
buy potatoes, all right. But must posi-

And then the near-purchaser would go
broken-heartedly and potatoless to some
other place.
AS soon as they can break in Gen
Johnston the Band of Consumers OF
Washington will actively push the plan.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS,
AND SOME EDITORS
DON'T LIKE NOToRIETY

! The next time a certain editor OF this
town tries to entertain certain young
reporters he Is going to have himself
locked up until the inclination passes.
Thereby hangs one OF the saddest stories
Of misdirected kindness that have come
along the row for years and years.
The eminent editor had three seats TO
| the box OF a theater where a musical
comedy was playing.
He invited Charles willoughby and
Bill Hart, the famous pair of boy scouts,
to JOIN the box party. During the first
act the boy scouts were fairly quiet.
During the second act they had signaled
half the chorus while the editor moved
about in his chair feverishly and prayed
that none of his friends were in the body
Of the theater.,
During the third act there was one OF
those spotlight songs, and the singer,
who had already fallen victim to the
boy scouts, delivered the selection head
foremost at their box. AS she did, the
calcium fell upon the classic editor. The
boy scouts withdrew, leaving the dig
nitarS sitting alone in the box and look
ing as amiable as q hungry tiger. When
the editor had slipped out, after this
song the boy scouts returned.
And for the next two weeks the editor
did more explaining than was seen In
all his editorials combined.
