THE FIRST BOARDING HOUSES.
According to all the testimony of such
old newspapers as the National Intelli-
gencer, which was published almost from
the very day of the founding of the city,
Washington has always been the paradise
of the boarding house keeper. In 1916
there were more inns and boarding
houses in the city than private resi-
dences: few of the visiting statesmen and
politicians of that time conceived the idea
of having their own homes here. Outside
of the tradesmen and government clerks,
apparently no one ever dreamed of estab-
fishing a permanent residence here or of
investing in the Citys future. Indeed,
when the Avenue was partially a swamp
and the proud boUlevards of I lEnfant ran
through muddy wilderness, it took
keen, foreseeing eye TO see that the city
had a future.
The modern apartment house had no
counterpart in the early days. although
many a Representative and Senator here
devoutly hoped for such an institution.
One of them. writing under an alias TO
the National IntelIigenCer in 1876, made
a mild protest about living conditions in
the city and forecast the coming of
the apartment as ii is known to-day. He
wrote:
TO my certain knowledge it is i'm
possible for a gentleman with a family
to come to Washington and live here in
a style beftting a gentleman. He can
not have n house. but must live in inns
and boardinE-houses, for the most part
in two or three rooms. Many of our
wives would like to keep servants and
live by ourselves, but there are only II
few places in town where one can do so.
All of the rooms are without connection
and open :ntO a public hall. This is a
bad condition Of affairs for the visitors,
and I think that some of the new board
ing-houses should he so constructed that
one may keep a family in them con-
Veniently."
Conditions Improved in '2O's.
IN the twcnties and thirties. conditions
were greatly improved, owing to the large

down to those of Mark Twain and White

lived there. most of them in the Demo-
cratic simplicity of a clearinghouse, yet

The quaint old colonial residence at 226

home of John c. Calhoun, with many

he dictated all the financial moves made
by Southern interests in behalf of the

fense of slavery.
The Gwynn Residence.
The Gwynn residence was in the ante
bellum days one of the show places of
Washington The reasons for this are
easily TO be seen, since it was built in
a style utterly unlike any other ever
dreamed of in the city. 1t resembled, in

STANTON, DIXIE'S LAUREATE,

Communication of a death sentence in Ore

cen gave the respited man a dinner party
in his private office and bits of the un-
employed rope were distributed as SOU
venirs-has been writing stanzas to head
the Just from GeOrGia'' column in the
Atlanta Constitution for years
Stanton was a friend of Joel Chandler
Harris. who once said of him: Mean
while here is one with the dew of morn
ing on his hair, who looks on life and
the promise thereof and finds the pros
pect joyous. Whereupon he lifts up his
voice and speaks TO the heart: and 10!
here is Love with nimb!e feet and spark
ling eyes: and here is HOTR fresh risen
from his sleep: and here is Life made
beautiful again"
All Of which is high prsfse for man
who has been writing rhymes TO lead
daily newspaper column, and yet is not
altogether undeserved.
A Touch of Georgia.
In many ways Stanton reminds the hap
hazard reader of James Whitcomb Riley.
There is the same easy. colloquial touch
in most of the verses he writes although
now and then, as if he said TO himself
that il was to proceed TO business and
turn out a bit of real poetry" he
buckles down to the semi-efforted product
and displays an impressive seriOus-mind-
edness which, however. is wiped away
by the next page where ''wishin' " is
jauntily rhymed with "fshin' " and wa
termelons and summer sunshine seem to
he the chief ingredients of the Southern
muse. Stanton is never dull. He loves
ba Of Inn % n Of
the nOiSiest birds, and the atmosphere
OF not working too hard. Doesn't he say:
summertime in Georgy-I love to sing your
praise!
Though I've got voice for singin, it's a tune |
love to raise!
When the birds is pantn'. chantn. an Jest rantin'

Jim Riley once wrote:

G. V Williams. in the London Mail.
Modern Paris husIles. l should like 10
know by how many miles an hour the
speed of the boulevard crowd past a
given point at luncheon time has in
creased during the past ten years. The
boulevard Pavements, broad though they
are. have hardly room for the fianeur
of Paris of the SOS of even of the 'sCs'.
One sees the same set look on the faces
of crowds hurrying along in the midday
hour as one sees in London in the lunch
con rush in Cheapside or on Ludgate
Hill.
The pace at which Paris lives has ac-
celerated. Motor cars and tube railways
have had the inevitable effect of pushing
the residential quarters of the city ever
farther from the center, people have
farther to go to reach their work, they
depend more and more on the public
means of transit, and consequently their
sense of the value of time has become
marvelously quickened. Not that the
traditional unpunctuality of Paris has
vanished-far from it: and the Parisians
still meckly submit to irregular suburban
train service and eXasperating delays TO
traffic in the streets. But the population
is learning to rely increasingly on the
public service and to arrange its life ac-
cOrdingly.
Coming of the Tubes.
The change has all come about in the
last ten years. Formerly people used the
numbering horse omnibuses for getting
about the city, never knowing when they
clambered up at the Place Pigalle what
perilous adventures lay between them and
the Halle aux Wins. For the outskirts
and the suburbs there was the Ceinture
Railway, with inconveniently situated
stations. The Paris tube railways-the
Metro and the Nord-Sud-have changed
an that. One of those, smooth, nickel Is
centime pieces which ingenious cabmen
are so fond of offering you as substitute
for the franc in your change will whisk
you first class underground to all points
of the compass.
Without changing trains, you may go
underground at the Porte Maillot. on the
edge OF the verdant BOis, and be deposited
well within the hour on the skirts of the
pleasant wood of Vincennes at the other
end of Paris From the Buttes-Chaumont,
that delightful park on the topmost sum
NIT of Montmartre, so little known to
Englishmen, you may speed underground
direct to the busy Place de TOpera. And
the Metro and its sister, the. Nord-Sud,
never stop growing.
Every year new lines stretch out into
the distant outskirts of Paris, and the
number of passengers carried swells by
thousands month. For those who pre-
fer to travel above ground there
are the electric tramway cars, which
are gradually superseding the old.
noisy compressed air cars, while
for short distances now that the
monopoly Of the omnibus company has
come TO an end, there are the new rapid.
silent motor omnibuses which are pTac-
tically only railless tramway cars.
The old-fashioned Partisan who lived
and died in his quarter Is becoming
extinct Intercommunication Is SO easy
now that a trip from the north to the
south Of the city presents no horrors
