MADE A SLIGHT MISTAKE
Young Congressman Wanted to Rent
Apartment In Mr.. ~Maoveaeh's
Palatial Home.

Representative Perle D. Decker OF
Missouri, one of the youngest mem.
bers of the house, who is serving his
first term in congress, resides In a
modest but comfortable apartment In
Fourteenth street. Like many other
apartment house jewellers he got a no.
ton that he wanted to move. The
street cars passing his apartment made
a great zeal of noise until early morn.
Ing, and there were other reasons. Rid.
Ing up Sixteenth (now called the ave.
nue. of the Presidents) he spied the
palatial home Of Franklin MacVeagh,
former secretary of the treasury. The
location just suited Decker. The ex.
terror OF the building indicated that
the ceilings were high and the rooms
spacious.
Leaving his automobile at the curb.
the congressman approached the en-
trance to the MacVeagh home. His
first surprise came when he found the
door locked. In response to his ring
a uniformed butler opened the door
and asked what was wanted. Decker
announced blandly that he would like
to lease an apartment In the building.
The butler nearly collapsed. After
recovering his breath he said, with a
great show of indignation.
Dis am no apartment house. 1t am
de home OF Mistah Macveagh."
