Great DefNnse.

The great advocate let us call him
Mr.. McSweeney-wa defending a
man in a murder case. The case
looked hopeless, and McSweeney sub
mitted 10 evidence for the defense.
So the public prosecutor, believing
that conviction was assured, ended
with just a few perfunctory re-
marks.
Then, in a quiet, conversational
tone, the famous insolvency began to
talk to the jury. He made no men

in vivid colors a pretty country cot

wife preparing supper, and the rosy
youngsters waiting at the gate to
greet their father on his return home
for the evening meal. Suddenly Nc
Sweeney stopped. He drew himself
up to his full height. Then, striking

voice that thrilled every bosom:

CAPITALS PURCHASING BUREAU

BY the establishment Of a COM
munal warehouse and the creation Of
a bureau which will supervise the pur-
chase of all supplies, the local gov
eminent of the District of Columbia
expects not only to save thousands
Of dollars annually in the operation
of the capital, but to point way for
other cities to improve their systems.
A special committee has been al
work for some time past mapping out
the plans.
The main advantages that will aoe
crue, the committee believes, will BIZ
the prevention of "1eaks" in the ae-
QUESTION of supplies through a CO
ordination of the various purchasing
Offices.
Equipped with central warehouse,
advantage also could be taken OF
prices when the market is low. An
other function of the bureau will be
it's supervision of property acquired,
and it will be given full authority to
demand ar accounting from employees
for the condition of municipal prop
erty.
Inquiry into the proposed reform
was made by AlonZo Tweedale, audi
tor of the district; w. A. Mcfarland,
superintendent of the water depart
ment, and M. G. Hargrove, purchasing
officer. The district commissioners
have authorized the adoption of the
plan.

VOGUE FOR FIGURED WOLFE
Revival of Old Fabric Has Been
Received Most Kindly by
the Public.

The public has taken most kindly to
this revival of very old fabric which
Is now called wolfe and which is dur
able in the highest degree and al
though there have been a large num-
Der of picturesque frocks made of it
the newest adaptation of 1t as top
to slim white skirt is interesting.
There are some women who prefer
this gown made of figured taffeta,
which in it's new weave is soft and
supple, but it does not really give the
effect that the wolfe gives, and does
not present as much novelty.
Any girl who is to be married this
summer should have one Of these
gowns in her outfit. If she does not
care to wear it as a dancing gown
she will find it admirable for informal
dinners in her own home, and especial
ly attractive as tea gown for the
o'clock hour. She can add to it cap
of embroidered muslin or cluny lace,
which has a round crown to fit the
head, a tiny ruffie to hang over the
neck and back, coronet piece in front
and wired flaps over the ears.
This is the kind of cap Mrs. Castle
wears, minus the coronet. When such
cap is trimmed with little punches
of tight rosebuds over each ear the
picturesqueness Of such costume is
undeniable.
In these days of fanciful footwear
one can always add to the color
scheme by silk stockings and high
heeled slippers. There is no longer
any attempt to match ones shoes to
ones gown; on the contrary, one tries
to make a harmonious contrast, such
as wearing pale blue satin slippers
and stockings with shell pink tea
gown and the other way around

HOME LIFE OF coNGREssMEN.

In Congress Hall hotel, located near
the Capitol building, eighty congress
men are domiciled. They are of all
parties and beliefs, but on Sunday
evening the neighborly spirit of all
men of all climes is manifested. The
program follows no order, and Is linn
tied to no special number of art
lists" There is no lack of volunteers,
however, and the piano is kept going
with song and music. Congressman
Falconer of Washington walks brave
ly to the piano and sings, followed by
other colleagues, and down through
the corridor ring the voices Of the
peoples representatives in Sunday
evening song. There is hearty and
enthusiastic applause, and little
groups gather all about the lobby,
having a good old-fashioned time.
Later in the evening the singing
naturally drifts to the old-time songs;
there is hush, the chairs cease rock
ing, and the conversation sOftens as
the old heart songs are sung, awak-
ening memories Of the folks at home
for there are congressman who get
homesick in spite OF an attractive sal
airy and the honor of serving the gov
eminent under the Capitol dome. The
heartfulness Of the home life of the
American people as indicated in these
gatherings of congressman is one Of
the most fascinating and charming
aspects of American democracy.-Na-
tional Magazine.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation OF the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts. scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe'
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end OF the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

Wasted TeIenhone Talk.

Those who have made a close calcf'
lation declare that from one-Quarter to
one-half a minute is wasted by the
average telephone user just in getting
under way in talking. The necessary
talk on the average could be condensed
to one minute. The "goodbys" and
the don't forgets" that exceed in time
Just the saying Of these words once
consume another full minute. This
divides the average call into three
parts, only one of which is indis-
pensable. Cases are know where wom-
en- subscribers call up a regular circle
of friends every morning just for a
chat. They have nothing important to
say, but treat the matter as if they
had met their acquaintance or friend
on the street and had stopped to pass

WAISTS AND NEW FIGURES
SwirIing Draperies From Shoulder to
Heels Are Becoming to
Fat and Lean.

AS long as we bow down to orient
alism we are very sure to be graceful
in clothes, because swirling draperies
from shoulder to heel are usually be.
coming to the lean and the fat, to the
tall and the short. But the orient
recks not with white starch shirt
waists and mannish coat suits. AS
long as the coat is the only thing to
be considered one can have as large
waist as one wishes, but when the
coat is lifted and this new oriental
skirt is attached to an American shirt
waist the combination is not pleasing,
and no one knows that better than the
women who are trying to make it.
OF course, we have long since learn-
ed the art of wearing one color from
shoulder to heel. but it is not conven.
lent or agreeable to wear colored shirt
waists in summer, as our desires and
our climate call for thin wash fab
RIGS. Therefore if one would look well
it seems that the coat must be retain
ed, or one must have figure cut off
in a square way that may be fashion
able but is not graceful.
After all, it might be better for wom-
en- to work themselves out Of this
problem and lend variety to their cos
tunes at the same time by modifying
the waist line of those skirts which
are worn with coats and white shirt
waists. There are many ways to do
this.

FRANZ J0SEFS KIND HEART
Little Incident That May Explain Why
Ruler of Austria Is Loved by
His Subjects.

Sense of humor is another strong
trait Of Emperor Franz Josef. One day,
unannounced, Franz Josef visited the
military academy at Wiener-Neustadt,
entered a classroom and, saying to the
officer hearing a recitation: Don't let
me disturb you," took a seat. On the
bench behind him he put his generaPs
hat, crowned with it's bush Of long
straight feathers. A boy eyed the
green plumes, then slyly stretched his
hand out and plucked one. Emboldened
by success, he took four and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperof's arm in the
process.
What are you doing that for?"
asked Franz Josef, viewing the de-
pFeted bunch.
For a souvenir" the boy suffered.
"But why so many?"
"My comrades would each want one,
too," was the frank response.
"Well, suppose there is no way out
Of 1t but to give you the whole LOT"
said the emperor, by this time laugh
ing heartily as he tore loose the bush.
Turning to the teacher, whose frown
of horror had been lost on the small
boy, his majesty remarked, "But, cap
tain, you must kindly lend me your
cap to go home in."-Pictorial Review:

BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to COT
fee, even after they know it is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum is properly made and
used instead. A girl writes:
Mother had been suffering with
nervous headaches for seven weary
years, but kept on drinking coffee.
"One day 1 asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin Of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum SO
freely and with such relish, l asked
for a taste.
THAT started me on Postum and |
now drink it more freely than l did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now"

Powder Scented With Rose.

Did you ever scent your own powder
with fresh roses? If you have done it
once you will want to do it again;
and if you never have done it try it
this year.
Make a powder from three parts of
fine rice starch and one part Of orris
root. Put it in tin box which has
a tight cover and bury fresh, strongly
scented rose leaves in it. Leave them
there for a day and then. take them
out and put in fresh ones. Keep this
up for a week and at the end of that
time the powder will be deliciously
scented.
Other highly scented flowers can be
used in the same way, but perhaps
no others. unless it be violets, are
quite SO sure to give satisfactory re-
suits.
