BY winning the two-mile open last
Sunday, Champion Harry Kaiser
moved nearer to Donald McDougaifs
record of fifty-two races won
last year. Kaiser is trying to
beat the ex-champion's record,
and ne bids fair TO be success
full, He is but five races behind the
mark now, and should win one or
two races at each meet during the
remainder of the season. IL the
champion cared to cinch the record
in a hurry he could ride at the meets
at New Haven, where he would have
only Tim Sullivan TO beat.

There is a 1ounce of taffeta, only
moderately full, extending from the
waist line to the thigh and terminal
ing in a-scant ruffle of the embroidery.
Below the embroidered fiounce is
full ruffie of the plain taffeta. 1t
gives the effect of a short overskirt.
The silk below 1t is laid in plaits about
four inches deep. At their termina-
ton a second scant ruffie of the en-
broidery Is sewed on. Below 1t the
silk falls free and is finished with a
three-inch hem.
The bodice has a plain back and
kmono sleeves. 1t opens surplice
fashion in the front, with the front
pieces pulled in along the under arm
seams. This allows them to fall cas-
lily about the waist and over the belt.
The opening at the neck Is finished
with the embroidery put on almost
plain. There is very little fullness in
the fiounce of embroidery which fin
ishes the short sleeves.
There are several fabrics besides
taffeta in which this model may be
effectively made up. The light, bor-

is to be remembered that the body

luster, are not desirable for full fig
ures

NAME OF STREET CHANGED
Sixteenth Street, N. W., 10 Now Desly.
mated as Avenue Of the
Presidents"

AT the last session OF congress the
name of Sixteenth street. N. W., was
changed to Avenue of the Presl-
dents" which is SO long a name as to
make general use impossible. Without
doubt. the name of Sixteenth street
will continue to be applied to this thor
oughfare. because the people of Wash.
ington can hardly think OF 1t other
wise. Many have questioned the ad-
vantage of the change, and the signifi-
canoe of the new name. No president
has ever lived upon this street, and In
fact 1t does not begin until nearly two
blocks north of the White House.
Standing in It's main entrance, how
ever. one may look to the north for a
great distance, up this broad street
While the name, Avenue of the PresI-
dents" may induce ambassadors and
other dignitaries to locate upon 1t. yet
the change upsets seriously the plan
by which the city streets and avenues
were designated. The word avenue"
In Washington carries with 1t the
meaning that thoroughfare so desig-
mated runs at an angle, intersecting
the lettered streets running east and
west and the numbered streets run
ming north and south, and making pos
sible direct route from one section
OF the city to another As Sixteenth
street runs due north and south, the
change in name from street to avenue
is misleading.
1t is to be regretted that street nom
enclature in Washington and other
cities is SO easily changed. when the
names which streets have borne have
become known the world over.-Na-
tional Magazine.

ABOLISH ANCIENT PROCEDURE
Gruesome Custom Of Filing on Pro-
spective Vacant Senate Seats
10 Abandoned.

The United States senate from time
immemorial has had a gruesome sort
of a procedure In securing advanta-
geous seats. or course, the United
States senate Is a continuing body;
only a portion OF its members go out
every year. SO that the older members
retain their seats, and only a limited
number are ever vacated at any one
term. The custom referred to is that
of filing on a senate seat which It Is
thought will be vacated in either the
near or distant future. Seats that are
filed on in this manner are usually
aisle seats and those close in front of
the presiding officer. In the past when
a senator liked the seat of some other
senator better than his own he would
go to the sergeantatarms of the sen
ate and file claim to that seat. should
its holder die. resign or fail of re-elec-
ton TO the senate. 1t really was
horrid sort OF custom, and claims have
been filed on certain senator's seats
for years at a time. being a sort of
gamble with fate.
The rules committee of the senate
has now passed a resolution directing
the sergeant-atarms of the senate to
cancel all filings and instructing him
that hereafter all such are prohibited.
Another resolution adopted by the
rules committee will limit those sena,
tors who are not chairmen of commit
tees to three office rooms in the Sen.
ate Office building or in the Capitol
building. 1t is said that at the pres
ent time some OF the senators have
four or five office rooms.

1t will be seen that the figure is

lines are not lost sight of. The skirt
is narrowed just above the knees and
hangs straight from this point to the
instep. There is a wonderfully easy
and pretty effect of drapery at the
waist line with narrow velvet girdle
below it. The discernment of the
artist in placing the velvet ribbon belt
below the normal waist line is one
of those evidences of cleverness by
which the French have won their pre-

TENNIS COURTS ARE POPULAR

The public tennis courts OF Wash
ington are seldom without players In
pleasant weather. During last sum-
mer and autumn the number of these
courts was increased, and others will
be added.
Perhaps in crossing the Connecticut
avenue bridge or the Calvert street
bridge the visitor has seen far below
In the valley of Rock creek two ten
mis- courts and active groups OF white
fianneled players. Perhaps they have
thought that some exclusive tennis
club has built these courts In that ro-
mantle situation, place difficult Of
access until one knows the way. The
courts are on the west side of the
creek. close under the steep hillside.
Pine trees grow along the east side of
the courts. while along the west edge
