ANACOSTIA.

Anacostia Council, No. 16, Junior Order
of United American Mechanics, has made
known an interesting story of its growth
during the past six months, under the
leadership of John w. Crawford, as coun-
cilor, and If the same work keeps up in
the future this organization will exceed
in the district. During this period there
have been forty-six new names added to
the roll, bringing the total membership
to over 300
The Anacostia section is getting its
share of the improvements in fire fighting
apparatus The engine at No 10 house,
which has been in service for a number
of years. was recently sent to Cincinnati
where it received a complete overhauling,
and has been put in condition equal to
new. At No. chemical company at
Congress Heights it is expected that be-
fore many months an automobile engine
will be provided to replace the present
inadequate equipment. This is made pos
sible by the recent extension of water to
the suburb. Improvements are also
looked forward to in the equipment at
chemical No. in Randle Highlands.
and 1t is also probable that another man
will be assigned to this command to make
up the required number in one house The
citizens are hoping that an automobile
engine can be provided.
To bring the season to a close. Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur l.. Simpson. director and
organist, respectively, of the musical or
ganization of Emmanuel Episcopal
Church, entertained that body at their
home on Valley street last evening.
The question of forming woman's auxil-
iaries to a number of the citizens asso-
Citations in this community Is being given
serious consideration by those who have
been instrumental in advancing the mat
ter thus far, and it is more than likely
that within another year at least two OF
these organizations will have been form
ed The object of such an organization
is to create a general interest among the
ladies of the community in needed i'm
provements and to have them present
their views to the civic bodies.
The service this morning In the Ana
costa Methodist Episcopal Church is to
be in charge of the Rev. William A. Mel
win. pastor of the First Methodist Protest
ant Church of Washington. In the even
ing the pastor. Rev. Samuel w. Grafafn.
will continue his series of twilight talks.

the woman by asking her II she would
have the package sent.
She happened to be an ordinary, every
day sort of human, who considers a
nothing Of the absurdity of hauling across
the city thing that she could drop in
her handbag and forget-so she said:
I'll take it, of course. You certainly
couldn't be expected to send home trifie
like this?''
1T may surprise you, then, to know
that we frequently deliver single yeast
cake"
A two-cent yeast cake! What do you
think of that? A measly little two
cent
You see, a customer may come in on
her way down town and, naturally, she
wouldn't want to carry it around with
her"
But there is always corner grocery
with yeast cakes on ice"
Galahad merely smiled. But 1t was a
smile that conveyed such willingness to
forever wheel home two-cent purchases
rather than subject a lady to the annoy
ance of dealing at any other store that
its nobility really touched the woman.
So. instead of voicing an Utmost and
lowdown conviction that people who want
yeast cakes delivered must be suffering
from overmuch dough. she accepted her
package doubtfully, as II reconsidering
whether or not to have her little 30
Capitol Hill. Then she RECALLED out
not wriggled, please-as near as she
could come to the style of real movin
pitcher lady whose car Is at the door with
dear thing in poodles next the chauf-
feur Then she walked fourteen squares
home.
That was all there was to it, except
that about 7:3O next morning the incest
cook in town came into the freshest
cleanest dining room in all creation and
-
ans plate.
Miss Ann, honey, there's something
wrong about that stuff you brought home
yesterday. It's all dried up and moldy
like-this cup of good coffee won't hurt
you this one time. as long as you can't
drink hot water, same as Miss Martha .
In the brown face and gentle voice was
loving care for the comfort of the woman
at the table. And in the woman's answer
was the gratitude of one who has been
reprieved.
THANK you, Belle Thank you ever
downtown I'll run over to the corner
grocery and get a fresh can"
Two women met in the street Neither
of them looked as If she had been born
yesterday. but. on the other hand, both
appeared to be satisfied with today and
without fear Of tomorrow.
The one in Panama and white frock
extended an invitation. The one in a
white frOck and Panama accepted.
It's a treat to see you-'
Speaking Of treats, come over and
have lunch with me at the Old Maid
cafe"
That's a new one on me. Did you
name it?'
What's gone wrong with your eyes,
young friend? Can't you read signs as
you pass? Come on and I'll show you"
So the Panamas and white frocks
switched around the corner and across
a street until they came to a crystal
clear window lettered in gilt:
THE Old Made New"
Isn't it astonishing how little it takes
to make some people laugh? And isn't
1t a blessing that the privilege doesn't
| cost money?

Uplifted women who have progressed
beyond and above child-caring will not
find the atmosphere of Lafayette Park
congenial during the midday hours.
1t Is too redolent of the nursery.
II you wind along any one Of the tree
shaded paths you will see children romp-
ing, crawling or pillowed on the grass,
with a small army of nurses on guard
many Of them young mothers whose little
ones are too precious to be out of their
sight.
And the mothers are always doing
things with needles probably because
books are too absorbing when there are
youngsters to be looked after. Generally
it is a crochet needle with it's long tailed
edge Another popular variety is the
embroidery needle darling in and out of
a blue-lined pattern on babys frock, or
the front of a grown-up shirt waist.
And yesterday in one case it was darn
ing.
She was pretty girlsh mother, still
pallid from the ordeal that had given
her the fat. bald infant In it's carriage
beside her-and which stared at nothing
with the inscrutable blandness achieved
only by new babies and the sphinx. The
darning was sock, black, with un-
bleached toes and heels. and the needle
shuttled over one of those yellow garden
gourds that your grandmother used be-
fore your mother took to china eggs. Re-
member?
Once when the mother girl stopped to
thread her needle she looked over at the
Treasury and smiled. 1t was such a
| sweet expectant sort of smile that it
reminded spinsterish person on the
bench across the path of old time moon
light-the silvery-sheen sort of moon
light that goes with youth, and love. and
xtns~,
naturally, she, too. looked over at the
Treasury. But all she saw was SO much
soulless granite and fountain with it's
green bed and valance of Mexican moss.
Her enlightenment came with the sudden
blowing of whistles and the booming Of
| a way-off clock.
| At the first sound the Treasury steps
overlooked with an ocean of humanity
| that fairly foamed out OF the building,
| beloved across the plaza and broke up
| into individual currents of clerks. each
| eddyins off for half hour of snacks and
| fresh air.
| The mother-girl forgot that she was
| holding d sock in one hand and poised
needle in the other, and as for the fat
and bald one-it might just as well have
been in, say. Egypt, along with the other
sphinx.
| The girls entire being was centered
| in an exceedingly long-legged young man
| who had sprinted across the asphalt and
| was making toward her with smile that
matched her own. And when he had
reached her and made dive for the
baby, why
