ing a drink of lunch, and al time
when the actors and big league night
journalists, are bestirring themselves
along the Row, which is f street be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth. a
sudden panic struck the crowd. =
A two-foot grass snake. as green as
a cub reporter, ventured from the park
ing of the E street triangle and start
ed across the sidewalk in the general
direction of one Of the Rows thirstori-
ums. Actors, reporters. plain clothes
men and street cleaners scattered as
though from a pestilence. The snake
was stampeding Z street.
With more than usual presence of
mind, a colored BARRIERS lieutenant
named Dick Colston rushed to bar
bershop and got bucket. He formed
a bucket brigade of one, and checked
the mad retreat toward F street with
one fell stroke of his buckety weapon.
The snake reposed for the rest Of the
morning, coiled in the bucket, few
feet away from the first manicure lady.

much more effective way Of concealing

1t Is fashions edict OF simplicity
