Look here. Polly; to take down that
fence would be to let down the bars
completely between my neighbors and me-
They'd take liberties and I'd resent 1t.
And then there'd be fuss. l don't want
trouble with my neighbors. And the
best way to avoid 1t is to maintain a
fence. That fence must stay
But it's such an ugly fence" Polly
protested. "Pickets are all out of fash

He kissed her hastily and went Polly

he turned as usual and waved his hand.
She waved her hand feebly in return.
For the first time Mac had ruff1ed her

that old fence spoils it all for me-"
grieved Polly
1t was very old, gray fence, and in
her sight it detracted considerably from
the effect of the neat house behind it,
1t was as bad as a sign or a broken
window. Either of which I'd prefer"
Polly lamented audibly.
She sat down on the steps and stared
hard at the obstacle to her happiness.
Her brows were drawn together. her lips
puckered. her heart full Of rebellion.
During all the happy winter of their brief
married life the subject of the fence had
not once been mentioned Recently she
had referred to it casually several times
Always Mac evaded an answer. She had
not dreamed that when it came to the
actual moment of decision he would set
the fence itself above her wishes.

adopted
Half Holidays Saturdays Favored.

Half holidays on Saturdays for every
one employed in Washington were dis
cussed by the members. and it was urged
that under certain existing laws this is a
condition which shoAld now obtain. A
committee was instructed to look into the
matter more fully and report to the as
sociation at a future meeting.
The need of new sidewalks and repairs
to others was brought UP for discussion,
and the committee on sidewalks will call
on the Commissioners and put the matter
before them in the hope that an appro-
priation for this work can be obtained in
the near future.
A resolution was adopted putting the
association on record in favor of prevent
ing any further additions to the TubercL-
losis Hospital in Petworth and favoring
the removal of this institution from the
city of Washington. and locating il at
Occoquan or some point outside of the
District, il this be possible. Allowing the
patients at the hospital TO wander abroad
around Petworth and visit the stores in
the vicinity was condemned.

Your Clothes
Create Impressions

There are very few OF

And SO others judge you.
All of which makes
Clothes a highly irnpor-
tant subject for considera-

The diamond shows off
to better advantage in its
setting. The frame doesn't
add to the value of a Rem
brandt-but it holds it up
to better view.
So with good Clothes.
They don't make the dull
brilliant: nor the weak
strong. But they show us
off to the best advantage.
And good Clothes are
not a matter of expensive
cost. Even if they were,
they'd be a good invest

It's the economy side we
want to talk about. How
Saks Clothes dress a man

touch of style that char

But it makes Saks Clothes
different from all others.

An Explanation Needed.

Press reports from Washington tel
US that Virginia machine" leaders be-
lieve that they have control Of the pa,
tronage in this State
Why2 Does their past performances
justify any such thing? Should the
very people who fought Wilson tooth
and nail at Norfolk, now stand so high
in his view that those who fought for
him at Norfolk - and long time before
be outcasts?
Should the people who sent Thomas
Fortune Ryan as a delegate to Balti-
more. by trick, now be the only ones
to gather crumbs from the rich man 4
table?
If Bryan deserved to become Secre-
tary Of State and who viii now deny
1.-THE was right when he protested
against the presence of Ryan at Balti,
more.
Doesn't the President owe some apol-
ogy or explanation, to the original Will
son men who gave their time, talents
and money to securing his nomination
and election, only to find now that the
patronage is being handed to those who
by every trick known to the Virginia
machine" opposed him before and at
Norfolk and at Baltimore?
We see daily accounts of this man
and that man. long time adherents and
satellites of the Martin faction in Vir-
ginia, receiving appointments from
Wilson over the candidacy of good men
who stood for Wilson when the Mar
tinites were fighting him
Yo1 may say that Wilson doesn't
know all these things. But Mr.. McAdoo
does know them. He was at Norfolk,
he saw a convention which was mani.
puIated from the very first against
Wilson. Wilson's friends IN Virginia,
or at least those who thought they were
his friends haven't forgotten these
things.

Worse And More Of It.

Under the winter schedule
which the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad has just put into effect,
Shenandoah Junction gets it in
the neck again.
Train Number One will here
after stop to put off passengers
from points East of Baltimore
only.
With number six cut out. and
now the afternoon Norfolk and
Western connection discontinued,
the. Junction is reduced to the
level of a flag station.
But why shouldn't it be dis
eliminated against, since none of
its citizens seem to have the nerve
or initiative to protest !? They
seem to like the kind of treatment
the railroads hand out to them!
The continued existence Of the
shack in which the railroads herd
their unfortunate passengers
there, is stigma on the public
spirit of the place.
The people of Harpers Ferry
are not submitting thus tamely
to the cutting off of train No. 6,
which now is scheduled to pass
the Ferry without stop.
The stoppage of trains II, II,
IS and 3 has one by one been dis
continued there in the recent past,
They will send delegation to
Baltimore to present protest to
the Railroad officials and if prop
er consideration is not given it, il
will know how to proceed to get
results.
In doing this they are not act
ing for Harpers Ferry only, but
for the people of this entire. sec
