To the ratings surrounding the bal
cony the women pad-locked them
selves inside the tower. preventing
the police from ascending the winding
staircase of 345 steps leading to the
top.
Then they took up their positions
on balcony and showered suffrage
literature among the crowds which
gathered below. For a long time traf-
hc was suspended in one of the bust

The suffragettes maintained their
position on the monument" for more
than an hour. While they were hold.

WITHOUT power
Washington Utilities So Con-
tends in Suit to Restrain
Purchase of Stock.
DEMURRER is FILED
Declares Bill Fails to Show that
Utilities" Ever Transacted
Business in District.

Claiming that the courts OF the Dis
trict of Columbia had no Jurisdiction to
restrain the Washington Utilities Com
pany from becoming the owner by pur-
chase of any of the stock OF the WASH
inEton Railway and Electric Company, the
utilities company yesterday filed de-
murrer to the suit of the District of
Columbia alleging that the District has
full and adequate remedy at law for
any Of the wrongs which may accure to
1t under the allegations contained in the
bill OF complaints.
The utilities company further says the
bill Of the complainants fails to show
violation of any duty or breach of any
obligation owing by defendant to the
complainant, and states that II respond
ent becomes or Is owner OF any stock
OF the Washington Railway and Electric
Company and makes use thereof violat-
ing any of the rights of the complain
ant, the District would then have am
pie and adequate remedy at law for
such injuries.
1t is contended in the demurrer that
the bill of the complainant is multi
farious on its face; that alleges no act
accomplished or capable of accomplish
ment by the defendant for which it Is
answerable to the District OF Columbia.
The utilities company recites that the
complaint does not show how any fiuctu-
alton in the market value OF the shares
OF the capital stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company works any
injury to il o. to the public. or how
complainant is entitled to maintain this
suit in respect thereto 1t is averred by
defendant that the bill shows no rule
nor any power to make any municipal
rule of which any of the alleged acts
on the part OF the defendant could be
construed a violation. The bill further
fails to show. according TO the defendant.
that the company ever transacted any
business in the District OF Columbia or
is otherwise in the jurisdiction of this
court and shows no irreparable injury
which can result to the complainant by
reason of anything alleged In the bill.

fore, and Are Sure to BE Very
Much Worn.

A visit to the counters where dainty
neck hxlngs are sold reveals that
iabots and collars are lovlier than
ever. Frills are no longer worn on
the coat; they have been supplanted
by the jabot and rabat collar.
A pretty jabot can be made OF tulle
or Brussels net cut In a strip twelve
inches long by seven inches wide. On
this embrolder a dainty design with
merceriZed cotton. This can be more
successfully executed If a piece OF stlft
paper is basted under the tulle. Whip.
stitch an edging of valenciennes lace
to the edge of the strip and baste the
pleats In place. Finally press with a
heated iron and bind the top with a
bias strip OF lawn.

Ing collars can be made of fine allover
embroideries. Many of the loveliest
designs are colored to represent the
old colonial needlework. Select q pat.
tern which fits well and arrange the
strip Of embroidery around the edge
Carefully miter the corners, so that
the design matches perfectly. There
is great satisfaction In making ones
own collars, for they usually fit well
and are OF designs and materials to
suit the personal taste.
It Is an easy task to fashion a rabat
collar OF handkerchief linen bordered
with Irish lace. Cut the collar and
rabat from the linen, using a good pat
tern. Turn in narrow hem and slip
stitch It neatly in place. To the outer
edge Of the collar and rabat whip
stitch an edging of Irish lace an inch
and half or two inches In width.
other collars are fashioned OF black

Enter the CncktaiI

1t seems only yesterday that the
first trayful Of cocktails jingled into
parlor In my town as a prelude to
dinner; and l recall the scandalous re.
ports of that innovation which passed
up and down the maple-arched thor.
oughfares that give so sober and clois-
trail an air to our residential area.
When that first tray appeared at our
elbows, at that difficult moment whe
we gentlemen of the provinces, rather
conscious at all times of our dress
coats, were wondering whether II is
the right or left arm we should offer
the lady we are about to take in. we
were startled, as though the devil had
invaded the domestic sanctuary and
perched himself on the upright piano
Nothing is more depressing than the
thought that all these Smiths, many of
whose fathers slept in the rain and
munched hardtack for a principle in
the sixties, are now unable to Tous-
ter an honest appetite, but must
pucker their stomachs with tonic be-
fore they can swallow their daily
bread. Perhaps our era's great histo-
rian will be a stomach specialist

A rosette made from stiff cords COW
cred with bright red silk, marked in
the middle by a fiat bottom covered
with pale blue, is the only trimming
on child's hat of plain white straw.
A little bonnet of soft white straw
turns up from the face with narrow
brim faced with bright orange, and on
the top of the crown is posed little
bow Of orange ribbon. Narrow ribbon
edged with a line Of parti-colored
straw buttons decorates the crown Of

bouquet composed of one big rose and
two green leaves embroidered in the
same primitive stitch.
Very smart is a child's hat with a
large round crown and narrow brim
that broadens suddenly in front and
turns sharply up against the crown
that is covered with soft silk striped
in gay Bulgarian colors. The edge
is adorned with little stuffed balls
formed by bits of the silk pulled and
tied into place.

as with many so-called fashions, there
Is little reasonable excuse for it's prev
alence. Like many fads, it is bound
to run its course and there is nothing
so dismally out of place as fad that
has ceased to be-
There is another fact regarding the
bungalow which has become current
and that is that one-story house is
cheaper to build, and in other ways
more economical than a two-story
house. The increased expense of
floors and roof counter-balance, how
ever, the less expense of the wall.
Plumbing and lighting are but little
cheaper, II any; and because the
structure is spread out it is not as
easy to heat as It's advocates would
have us believe, Moreover. the bung-
allow takes up more ground than
two,story house of the same number
Of rooms, which is a matter for consid-
Grafton while land is costly and build

In India the bungalow proved to be
the best solution Of the heat prob
ie1a; not because low, broad roof
PRODUCES a cool house by any means,
but because the wide overhang Of the
caves broke the glare of the intense
sunshine. Bungalow rooms are not
likely to be as cool as the first floor

house.

heavyeaved AFFAIRS that are Just now
in fashion" However, he has a good
word to say for the bungalow when It
Is in its right place.
To his mind. the bungalow should
be not only a one-story house, but a
very simple, informal one-story
house. II is style for the woods
and the seaside. for the place where
rest and not luxury are sought. It
should be free from architectural en-
bellishments, simply furnished, adapt.
ed 10 hot weather For these purposes
the bungalow is a vast improvement
over the average log camp or the US
ual jig-saw cottage OF the seaside re-
sort. 1t is graceful In line and sug-
gests comfort. Because It is intend
ed to be informal IL does not demand
expensive construction or finish.
II one has only q small amount OF
money TO spend, one can undoubtedly
secure greater grace and beauty OF
outline by placing all the rooms on
one floor, than by piling them up on
top Of each other A fve-room, two
story house built for 81 500 or $4,000
must necessarily be a plain. uncom-
promising cubical box. II these same
five rooms were to be grouped on one
floor, the unpleasant square proper
tions are avoided, the angle Of the roof
becomes more pleasing and the whole
effect more graceful, with no addition
al cost
A very good illustration of what is
meant by this is shown in the accom-
perspective and plan. This
is a tive-room cottage, 30 feet inches
in width by 40 feet inches long. It
