When Augustus Cesar succeeded his I'M

write the new rules, and this man. whose

tiquity-this original rules committee OF

can the mail be assorted as rapidly as IL

In addition to this mail carrier has to
attend to changes OF address, either
temporary or permanent, a specially diff
dcult task during the summer months.
In the case of a carrier deliver ne
mail in a section OF the city in which
several boarding houses are located. this
duty is particularly hard, as he may be
constantly called upon to change and re-
change addresses of the people who con-
tinually come and go. A large office
building offers the same problem. When

time that this tower was erected that the
rule went into effect concerning the five
year drilling.

ty Chief A j. Sullivan, who has charge
of the drill tower On drill days he in
structs from eight to twelve of the most
recent appointees in the art of becoming
frst-class firemen. In speaking of the
various forms which the drills take, and
especially concerning the use of the
Pompier ladders and belts, Chief Sullivan
says their principal value lies in the fact
that they give the men nerve.
Il have been in the Washington fire de-
partment for thirty odd years" said Chief
Sullivan. and during that time | have
never seen one of the Pompier ladders put
into use. But when a man has TO climb
one of them here it goes long way to-
ward taking the fright out of him. l have
seen big men who would go into a smoke
laden room at a real fire shake like they
had the palsy when they have to climb
these things"
That this is putting it mildly can be
seen If a drill is witnessed. The tower.

is not a native of Washington. but the
length of her residence and other circum-
stances make hers an exceptional case.
The president of the society is Miss
Marian Bell Johnston, daughter of DIR.
William p. Johnson, a much-beloved
and illustrious physician of Washington
in the early days. and Miss Rose Nor
decai, daughter of Gen. Alfred Mordecai,
L. 5. A, is the secretary. The members
meet once a month, usually the first
Monday, at the home of Miss Johnston,
from November until May. A paper is
read every evening and it always deals
with some phase of Washington and its
people written by one who has personal
knowledge and data on the subject. Many
highly interesting and very valuable ra-
pers have. been written recently, notably
one read last winter by Mrs. Kate kear-
ney Henry, and another by Mrs. Andrew
Porter. There are about forty members.
Mrs. Gouverneur rarely misses a meet

1914, King Edward II of England promul-
gated this law: "Forasmuch as there is
great noise in the city, caused by hus-
Ting over-large foot balls, from which
many evils arise, which God forbid, we
command and forbid on behalf Of the
king, on pain e Imprisonment, such
games to be played in the future
Evidently the second Edwards pro-
nouncement carried small weight, Tor Ed
ward III, in 1919, was compelled to for
bid by law several sports. among them
hand ball foot ball, hockey and golf. In
1889 King Richard III forbade "all play
inge at tennse. foteballe and other such
importune gaymeS.
Foot ball was again interdicted in 141O
by Henry ", and fourteen years later;
in 1924. the baby Henry VI proclaimed
THE Kynge forbiddes that ma name

But in spite of laws and proclamations
of. kings foot ball continued; men per-
sisted in playing at the futballe," amid
the denunciations of those who could see
naught but savagery, brutality and all
evil in the game. In the days of Robin
Hood and the Black Prince, Sir Thomas
Elyote, author Of the "boke" called tie
'GouveInour. said:

Sir Thomas didn't think very highly Of
foot ball, did he? But listen to what one
Philip Stubbes has to say of the game.
Stubbes was Puritan pamphleteer, who
fourished between the years 15S1-1593.
He was born about 1900 was by his
own confession. pretty much of a tramp,
refused to remain at "OXon''-OXford-
because he wanted to see the world and
how it got along, and wrote two or three
pamphlets entitled 1.-THE Anatomie of

to this she had added the testimony of

event. Washington in that remote
period did not concern itself much
about the descriptions of weddings,
even those of the socially great. as it
does now. The journals Of the day say
but little of this event, but when it is
remembered that even wedding at
the White House did not call forth
more than the publication of the mar

hended. Not the least interesting of

] love TO dwell on the city beautiful and
the city so ragged and unseemly. After

Washington very often, not only to visit

a1d-de-camp, Henry Lee Scott Of North
Carolina. j remember spending one New
Year day as the guest of the Scots
and how gallantly the hero sailed forth
to visit the venerable widows, his near
neighbors before he received any official
callers. These women were Mistress
Dolly Madison, then living in her old
nome on n street. now the Cosmos Club,
and the other Mrs. Alexander Hamilton,
with whom resided her daughter Mrs
Hamilton Holly. In 1853 my family re-
moved from Houston street New York

neur thinks, the only recorded one, the
mistress of the White House gave up
the place of honor at the Presidents
right to the bride, while she mingled
with the guests. Mr.. Gouverneur acted
as the private secretary of President
Monroe. and his daughter-in-law is
now getting together from papers left
by her husband all the available data

Gouverneurs life is an unique society 10
which she belongs and of which she is an
indefatigable attendant. This is the So
ciety of '-Old Washingtonians,' and 1t
differs from almost every organized body
in the world in that it has no dues and
no obligations except that of attending

sympathy and approval of the work. One

ed in the schools of England There were
then two styles of game-the Elton game
and the Rugby. And it was not until
1858 that the first interscholastic game
was played III England. This game, be-
tween the schools of Charterhouse and
Westminster, was played at Vincent
Square, and Westminster won by two
goals to none, the Rugby game being
played.
1t was at Elton that the rule limiting the
players on each side to eleven was for
mulated.

lea occurs in Relations Of Virginia,

Modern foot ball in the United States
dates back to 1871, when Yale first or
ganized a team to play under code Of
rules. Two years later an Elton team Wis
tied this country and played Yale the
sons of Eli being vi-tors. In 1877 Yale
first insisted on the ado ton of the Eton-
ian number of eleven players to a side in
place of the Rugby Union team o. fifteen

Yale. Harvard and Prin eeton The Yale
contention was overru!e1 but the fight
was continued, and in 1880 Walter Camp.

of modern foot bal, succeeded in having
