A Lesson From Experience.

Old Jabez Jones. he said one day:
This constant toiling doesn't pay.
I'm goin' to loaf an take my ease,
An do exactly as l please.
I've worked right faithful all my life;
So have my daughter an my wife.
It's time We went to town awhile,
Enjoyin things in proper style
He went to town. The buildings high
He viewed with an admiring eye.
They lodged the cabs and motor cars,
And saw the moving picture stars.
They ate things picturesque and strange
And told the waiter. Keep the change
They saw show that proved bore,
And then went out and ate some more.
Next morning. at the break Of day,
Old Jabez Jones was on his way.
His wife and daughter followed near.
They all looked scared and tired and queer
"Oh. let us get back home" said they,
And when we get there, let us stay.
Well never more attempt to shirk.
There's nothin' restful like plain work.

The Festival Idea.

An important impulse was given 10
community thought at the open meeting
last night of the District center of the
Drama League. when the subject of pag-
eants and festivals was discussed Pag-
eantry is in its infancy in this country,
but the idea of folk festivals has taken
root and is developing. In several cities
festivals have been held with pronounced
success. and the subject is now under
consideration in many places looking to
the adaptation of pageant to local uses
10 stimulate the civic consciousness of
the people, to arouse pride in local in"
situations. to awaken patriotism and to
serve educationally. Last night the sub
ject was presented both i'm the abstract
and i'm the concrete. In the course of an
address by Mrs. Tinnin. who devised and
directed the impressive tableaus enacted
on the south steps of the Treasury March
8 In connection with the suffrage parade,
the elemental appeal of the pageant to
the public imagination was clearly shown
and the need OF festival expressions by
communities Was set forth. Then, as

though in illustration of the value OF
these folk plays for social purposes, came
an exposition by Mrs Neigh of the work
that has been done in this direction for
the past ten years at Neighborhood
House in Southwest Washington, where.
without attracting much attention else
where. the children have been producing
festivals annually with great success.
folk festival for all Washington is
clearly possible and would be of benefit
to the community. There are numerous
occasions upon which such an expression
of public feeling would be appropriate, for
Washington is a center Of national
thought and is locally the scene of his
toric events of wide Importance. For an
example. an Independence day pageant
would be of particular interest and would
afford most satisfactorily an Quiet for
the patriotic spirit of the people, particu-
larry in view of the abandonment of the
barbaric forms of so-called celebration Of
past years. Memorial day. broadened into
fully national scope. might become the
occasion for an outdoor pageant of ex-
ceptional impressiveness. Unfortunately
Washington's birthday falls at season
when an outdoor performance would be
impossible but there are other dates for
commemoration when such festival
would be practicable.
The value of a festival lies not alone
in the entertainment which it affords to
the beholders. but consists largely in the
pleasure derived by the participants, in
the educative value of the preparations,
and above all in the awakening of COM
munity spirit, which the study and the
performance together insure. The matter
is comparatively new in Washington as
a practical proposition on large scale.
and it will take some thinking and much
planning TO work out a definite perform
ance. Yet the idea of folk festival for
the National Capital at some appropriate
time i'm the near future is well worth con-
and it is to be hoped that it
may be taken up for serious thought by
the civic organizations.

Philadelphia's Clean Up.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


The proclamation of Mayor Blanken-
burg, designating the week of working
days from April % to May as an ALI
Philadelphia Cleanup Week. is a sensi-
BILE and practical appeal to every citizen
to set his own dooryard in order. 1t is
a poor sort of civic patriot who prates
of lefty beautiful and will not put
his own hand to the work of removing
unsightiy debris, planting flowers and
even applying the paint brush to hide I'M
slightly aspects. If all our householders
will make common cause in those six
days. they can do what regiments Of
"whitewings' could not accomplish. The
departments never could do it all. Think
of what miracles their hired thousands
can perform If assisted by nearly two
million volunteer helpers! There is moth
ing very romantic about the particular
process of scrubbing the front steps or
sweeping the sidewalk, but the thought of
what can be achieved by the concerted
action of all of us is inspiring.

Haberdashery in Washington.

AT meeting of the haberdashery section
of the Retail Merchants Association the
other night the opinion was expressed that
Washington is becoming fashion center
and that well dressed men are finding they
have no need to look elsewhere for their
styles or goods to keep In the front rank
of the changing modes. Indeed. it may
be confidently stated that Washington is
exceptionally well dressed. A stroll
along any one Of the downtown streets
discloses higher standard of neatness
in the appearance of men than is to be
noted in other cities. AS for the local
facilities for supplying the exacting de-
mands of those who have horror Of be-
ing in the slightest degree backward in
their wearing apparel, certainly the local
shops leave nothing to be desired. For
example. one could get here as quickly
as anywhere else one of those odd little
