The lady who, her husband being out
for the evening in his gladstone togs,
gave away the only "business suit"

pleasant choice of going to business
next morning in evening clothes or
staying in bed, is reported lacking in
zest for "bundle day" as a perma-
nent affair. So is the woman whose
servants were commissioned to make
up the household bundle, and put all
her best furs in it.
1t will be just as well to guard
against such slips. Otherwise, bun

THAT EXTRA SESSION

The present week is expected to
answer definitely the question of
whether there will be an extra ses-
sion of Congress. The question is
uppermost in the minds of most
legislators and many Washington
ians. And why not? Congress has
been in practically continuous ses-
sion for five years. The National
Capital has grown used to "having
a Congress on it's hands," and the
legislators haven't been home in so
long that this city might be carried
as their permanent address.
To tell the truth, Washington
would miss Congress were it to tear
itself away. It's long, long time
from March to next December. Think
of a summer without the Congress
sional Record, the agitation of the
half-and-half question, the news
paper headlines revealing the reform
plans of Congressman Faithful, and
without filibusters. What would the
Washington public do without Con-

"BUNDLE DAY" DANGERS

There's plenty of clothing hang
ing in closets, wardrobes, and attics
in this town to provide outer gar
ments for everybody in need of
them. Probably there always is
enough usable clothing furnishing
food for the moths, to serve that
purpose. In few regards are COM
Portable people more thoughtless, as
rule, than in this of letting old
garments fall into disuse and then
into rags, without stopping to think
that they would be a godsend to a
good many luckless ones to whom
clothes don't come SO regularly.
So the proposal to clean out the
trunks and garrets and turn the
usable garments over to people who
will use instead of waste them, is
one that deserves even more than
merely to be executed with enthusi-
asm. 1t ought to be made at least a
regular annual affair, with the whole
town enlisted in insuring it's sue
cess; twice year would be better.
That would mean the chance for hun
dreds of children to go to school in
comfort and self-respect who can't
now enjoy either; it would mean for
good many the only chance to 90
to school at all.

its permanence and entire success
there will have to be some little care
