hotel in Connecticut. In conspicuous
place in the parlor was an inscription:
''Ici on parle F'rancais" The mayor. as

prietor and said: do you speak
French?"
Not me-" the man replied United
States is good enough for me-"
"Weli then" said the mayor, why do

ing plenty OF thick ice on the ponds and
the rivers, splendid for skating and al
ways lots of snow. so that there is
sleighing for not n little while, and the
streets of the city ring with merry bells
and TIE shouts of crowds. and pedes-
trians on Pennsylvania avenue watch
the speed OF racing horses.
So then more sleighing may he seen In
Washington than in Boston. largo
number of people treasure their sleghs
and have them easily on hand when the
snow falls. There also is no mean market
for skates. These are often even rent
able at the Tidal basin. Washington
went SO far this week as to have car

Japanese lanterns and searchlights.
Thousands crowded the smooth ice and
hundreds looked on, the winding drive
