THE CRUISE BEGINS.

The ChUlSE br|SAA>o.
Ut was close to 8 o'clock when we
set forth in Jaynes' motor boat for
three-day cruise. Personally,
felt that it was rather late to
start. but knowing little or nothing
of nautical things I resigned that re-
sponsibility to my host.
Though our boxes of provisions had
seemed to melt away in the sizable in
terror of the boat. when we added a
three days supply of ice and our suit
cases the boat began to look as II we
were going to Europe.

visions after all. hadn't you? Now. If

We worked diligently. packing away
the perishable provisions ON the Ice.

What else should go on ice. Mrs.
Housekeeper." inquired young Jaynes
smiling at Mary. and I felt that Mary
did not entirely relish the title. Most
pretty women associate the term
"housekeeper'' with 3O-inch waist
measure and common-sense shoes.

Where the "Hoodoo" Originated
By TEMPLE MANNING.

In the Southern States of America
there still fingers among the negroes
the practice Of voodooism. that mys-
terious black art which came from
Africa with their slave forefathers.
Whatever voodooism originally meant.
how it originated In the dark African
1ungles, and what 1t grew to embrace,
we have only the knowledge of hear
say. But that the tiny voodoo bag OF
bad luck still strikes terror of the su-
perstitious negro's heart, I recently had
occasion to know.
It was during a hunting trip in Flor
Ida that l saw an old negro stealing
through the night close to my colored
servants tent. l watched the old man
and was amazed to see that he mad dis
carded every vestige of civilized dress
and had clothed himself in the savage
costume Of Congo chief. slipping
along through the trees he stole close
to the tent where my man lay sleeping

For instance. We have had, in the

one reason perhaps is that women

be that this is the woman's age.
Whatever may account for 1t, the

Shops
By THE SHOPPER.

HOUGH fashion books and
fashien plates plead for high
necked waists, those of Us
who prefer the low necks
that have been SO popular for the
past two years are relieved to note
that there are quite as many new
waists with open necks as with
high. 1t does seem a bit topsy-turvy
to wear high military stock collars
when the hot days are with us again.
Two G street stores are showing
waists of lace that are delightfully."-
cool and attractive looking. One is
Of lace combined with white satin
and sells for $2.SS. Another Of cream
lace with no trimming Is S3.9S. Both
Of these are quite dressy enough to
wear with elaborate suits. while they
would give an air to simple cos
tunes.
Underclothes Of plisse crepe are
much in evidence at the January
white sales. Though the first speci-
mems were very plainly made, those
of the present winter are often quite
elaborately trimmed with hand em-
broidery and lace. Since they don't
need ironing, they make quite a sub
stantial reduction in ones laundry
bills. An F. street department store
is showing attractive combinations In
plisse crepe trimmed with ribbon and
lace at 81. A G street store has
nightdresses with colored embroid-
cry at the same price.

The charges that Aid. Buck and
others wanted to have public trial on
were % that Capt. O'Brien took
part in collection of a slush fund for
defense of his nephew, Detective
Serg't Walter O'Brien, convicted of
graft and conspiracy, (2) that while
in command of the second police dis
trict he failed to prosecute Frank
Ryan and the clairvoyant con men,
90 that he permitted saloons, hotels
and resorts in his district to violate
the law, (4) that he permitted Pat
O'MaIley, saloonkeeper, to collect
money from owners and keepers of
disorderly houses, (5) that he col
lected through a circular letter which
sent to members of the police depart
ment had the effect of coercing cash.
O'Brien was suspended three
weeks ago. His suspension was one
of the dramatic incidents that led up

statement that the police department

sion with crooks.

Action of Mayor Thompson and

day by Aid. Robert NJ Buck.

said Buck, 'but this is going too far
The mayor tells our city that the po-
lice department stinks. The mayor
swears by God he is going to change
the corrupt conditions known to
exist. His first official act then is
to give his consent to the withdrawal
of serious charges against the head
of the detective bureau.
''In other words, l mean that the
mayor is clamping the lid on the
stink instead of throwing the stink
upon to scrutiny and chloride of lime
treatment.
Understand me, 1 don't ask pun
ishment for -O'Brien. I'm not Vindic-

however, that this looks like a hush
job. There ought to have been a
public trial of Capt O'Brien. The
charges against him were so grave
that the trial ought to have been
held in public with the entire city
having access to the facts that
would have been brought out"

alarming tendency OF the present genera
tion to avoid parentage.
Young married people in good health.
with good brains aud bodies to transmit
TO offspring. and wives who might be the
proud mothers of statesmen or beautiful
daughters frequently impair their health
and beauty rather than accept the re-
sponsibilities OF motherhood.
Here again we find the reflex action
OF mind; for often these wives are daugh-
tiers of mothers who have borne too many
children and have missed the happiness
Of youth and the relaxation a perfect
home should give in the never-ceasing
cares of n large family. / do not know
what the statistics state regarding the
relative number of divorces among child
less people and those who are parents.
but do know that Nature intended mar
rage to be followed by parentage az
naturally as summer follows spring.
And / know that even the sad experi-
ence of motherhood which lasts hut n
few brief hours often makes a new ana
indescribably sacred bond of affection
between man and wife There are MANY
happy marriages where no children are
1t is true, yet the wife who has never
felt the stirring Of a little being under
her heart has missed one of life's and
loves most wonderful experiences.

the happy sense of co-partnership in all
her doings?
Every wife, as a rule, is ready to be
taught something OF her husbands bust
ness or professional affairs; enough to
make her understand his ambitions and
sympathize with his trials. But 1t is only
the occasional wife who has the percep-
ton to understand the delicate difference
between sympathizing and interfering
with a mans affairs Perhaps 1t is be-
cause of this danger of interference that
so few men make their wives acquainted
with their business lives. And this is a
point on which women need training.

other women who have shown the art of
helping their husbands by the right atti-

action. Surely there is nothing too much
trouble, nothing too time-taking, which
may lead to a successful marriage! 1t is
the important work OF the human race.
For what Is the worth of successful art,

BY GARRETT p. sERvIss.

The earth's double motion is a source
OF never failing interest. The earth
seems to be rushing up the steps OF a
mighty spiral stairway, which towers
steadily through the abyss Of the stars.
The sun ascends along the axis of that
spiral, which is like the core of masonry
in the center of a cathedral stair-well,
and the earth winds about the sun as 1t
mounts upward. up" and down" are
mere relative terms anyway. and they
answer we'll enough to indicate the course
of the solar system through space, which
is no more accurately described by the
usual statement that its direction is,
roughly, from south toward north.
For every five miles that the earth
progresses around the center Of the spiral
| is ascends three miles in the direction OF
the spiral's axis. The star Vega, one of
the brightest in the heavens, lies not far
out Of the line of that axis. The velocity
of the earth's (and sun's) motion toward
Vega is about eleven miles per second,
while the velocity OF the earths motion
around the sun israbout- eighteen ana one
half miles per second. In one year the
earth advances 5000 900 miles nearer to
Vega. but because Of the spiral shape OF
its path 1t has to travel about 6s0.0C0O 900
miles.
Many curious consequences follow from
the fact that our planet is thus forever
voyaging onward through space. One OF
these consequences is that we have no
fixed home in the universe. We keep in
company with the sun, 1t is true, but II
is only by chasing along with him, like a
