Ne,v Rich Cause
Sunday Mischief
in Nation's Capital

The substitution Of the Continental

are many old-fashioned persons who hear
OF Sunday goings-on as too awful to con.

rice Low in Harper's Weekly.
They bemoan the passing OF the simple
days when Washington took its pleasures
quietly and rather ceremoniously: wher
to dine at betokened ones ex-
treme worldlness, and at 10 o'clock the
lights were out and all respectable peo-
pie were In.
1t is the new rich, they say. who have
worked all the mischief; the people who
have built great houses and brought with
them retinues OF servants and trans
formed Washington from a village into
capital II is the new rich who are
always blamed for everything and who
are never given any praise, although II
is to be presumed that in this rather cha
otic scheme of ours they serve some use
ful purpose. Perhaps II Is true that the
new rich have brought about the change.
but IT is only in the last decade or SO
that Washington can be said to have
become a capital In the broader sense.
The social soil. still in virgin state,
waiting for the seed Of letters and art.
has become. nevertheless. the soil Of a
recognized capital Washington is as yet
too much a political center to be a
capital as the term Is used In Europe.
where not only politics focus, but also
literature. art. and science: 1t resem-
bles rather. on a greatly magnified scale.
a State capital where position Is due TO
the accident OF election.
Washington has not yet reached the
calm serenity that is the charm of an
Old World capital or a grande dame. who
knows her world and is secure of her
station and can AFFORD to be gracious
to her interiors or freezingly polite to
would-be equals. There is something
still breathless In the atmosphere of this
spoiled child OF American cities.
