Some constituencies joker handed one 90
the democratic rustics who are steuthing
around the departments for disclosures
and campaign material. A straight tip
was passed to a congressional committee
that riotous extravaganza was the rule in
the Postoffice department, eliminating in
scandalous extraVagance in furnishing the
office of Postmaster General Hitchcock

Hest bathroom in Washington" The dem
ocrauc sleuths were on the Job I'm half an
hour. Mr.. Weed, the chief clerk, was asked
about 1t with an air which clearly indicated
that the committee believed 1t had I'M
earthed a scandal of large proportions.
The postmaster general has no bathroom
at ALL" calmly replied Mr. Weed. Il guess
you were thinking of the bathroom at the
house end of the capitol" One frightful
discovery was made, however. Mr.. Weed
admitted that the mahogany waste basket
ordered to match the furniture of the post
master generals room cost SS5. The com
mittee fairly gasped, and one member ex-
| claimed: "Well, 1 swami" Mr. Weed told
the committee also that Mr.. Hitchcock had
spent about $4,000 treaveling over the coun-
try on an inspection tour of postoffces,
and had not charged his expenses to the
governmental piece Of information which
| the committee hardly welcomed.
Justice Harlan is Familiarity described in
Washington by those who know him as "a
good old scout" He enjoys life, has keen
/ sense of humor and possesses a strong and
attractive personality. He has enjoyed
playing golf until the last few years, when
his age has been somewhat of a handicap.
g- oil e
he was playing a match with a noted
Washington preacher, relates the Brook
Ign Eagle. The preacher was not an expert
at the game, and his temper was sorely
tried over the fact that he plowed up the
turf almost every time he swung at the
ball. Finally in desperation he made a
particularly vicious swipe and smashed his
club. For full half minute the preacher
stood looking at the wreck he had caused.
Justice Harlan waited patiently until the
dominic finally glanced at him and then
be remarked solemnly:
Doctor, that is the most profane silence
1 ever listened to-
There is another golf story about the
justice that is not so we'll authenticated
1t tells how he was playing one day with
a friend who was noted for making long
drives. This man found a COW in his path,
but, not daunted by the obstacle, drove
his ball with great force in the
direction he wanted 1t to go. The
ball landed in the cows mouth.
Straightway the judges friend chased the
COW. The startled animal turned tail and
ran. still carrying the BALL Her pursuer
began belaboring her with his club as the
pair went racing over the links. Finally the
COW, on reaching a putting Green, dropped
| the ball. 1t landed in a good position and
the golfer holed out in one stroke. Justice
Harlan followed in leisurely fashion and
made 1t in eight strokes, claiming the hole.
But 1 made it in two" exclaimed his
| friend.
Two nothing" said the Judge you
mean thirty-two. 1 was watching you and
every time you hit the COW counts a
stroke"

SHOE NEWNESS.

Plenty of button shoes one notes
among the smart shoe shop displays,
and also many novelties and rather
s%tartlingly new ideas.
Toes are both narrow and wide-nar-

some concessions to the fashions, but

door winter wear, and so, too, Is the
black and white shoe, but this last may
be seen upon the street as well by
women who affect the novelties.

cloth tops with the dull leather vamps
and on button shoes. Some few vel

"She never came upstairs again at

I searched not only the garden, but
the entire grounds; and 1 did it with

BONNET STRINGS.


"Straws show which way the wind
blows" So also do the little bonnets
of tulle, coquettishly set upon The
waved and puffed c%oiffure and engar-
landed with myosotis, and the large
tagals lined with felt, that have quite
taken the place of almost all other
forms of headgear during the last few
weeks.
Every one of them have long strings
of black velvet, which are tied at the
side and at the back, and have thin
long ends floating or caught with a
jeweled pin high over the bust and on
the left side.
The sleeve string is simply a very
long loop of broad velvet ribbon,
through which the arm is slipped. II
hangs loosely on the left side under
The arm.
This new trick in millinery is causing
not a little comment regarding its prob
able popularity. but withal seems to. be
finding favor in the eyes of the truly
great dictators of styles.

To Wash Quilts.
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS Doom:
Can you suggest any way to ,.ash
quilts without much rubbing, as | am
not very strong? T. M. X.
A soiled quilt can be washed per-
feotly clean without any rubbing,
wringing or hard work by the follow
ing plan: Fill your wash boiler nearly
full OF cold water. Dissolve some good
soap and stir in, then put in the quile
and make your fire. When 1t comes
to a ball keep 1t we'll punched down
and boil for half an Jour OF more. Then
lift 1t out into an empty tub, empty
out all the soited suds again all
the boiler with cold water and soap,
drain the quilt, put it back in the
boiler and boil for another half hour.
Then take out and rinse through four
waters and hang on the line without
wringfng. 1t will be perfectly clean
and sweet.

In response to many inquiries for a
harmless remover Of hair or fuzz from
the skins surface there is herewith pub

used with great success in many of the
leading beauty shops: To a little pow
dered delatone add enough water to make
a thick paste. then spread on hairy sur
face; after two or three minutes rub of

Delatone can be supplied by any drug
gist. and. while an original ounce pack

cause delatone does its work quickly and
well and caves the skin firm. soft and
white. Usually only one application is
necessary, excepting where the growth Is
thick or stubborn.
