Man on the Street.

I went into small grocery tc
make a purchase the other day, hence
the following:
"How much are thcy?" The stout
oyer-dressed woman with hair that
shrieked into my senstixeness, eyed
the little box of sardines obviously
yet haughtily as if purchasing g
grand piano.
"Fifteen cents, Madam" replied
the grocer who looked a little toc
well-fed and who wore one of those
patent smiles.
"But I want imported sardines".
she retorted. trifle Indignantly, be
cause it seemed that the grocer had
taken her for some common sort Of
customer.
"Ah, Beg pardon, Madam" said
the grocer. He put the little pack
age of Maine herrings back in its
place and took another can from
another shelf. "These are what you
want. They are thirty cents a can.'
He waited with what he conceived to
be an intelligent look.

dame with shade of warmth in her

When she had gone the grocer put
his tongue in his cheek, The smile
evaporated when I asked him for a

him say to his young assistant man.

ANNE LEE MEMORIAL HOME OPENS
A NOTABLE ADDITION TO CITY's ACTIVITIES
Board Of Governors Have Accomplished the Seemingly
;nnossb1e in snlendid Renovation of Old Herbert
Family Home Lapsed Into RuinOus Condition

memory of his parents, Amelia and
Morris Ruben. Mrs. Harry Peyton
Wilson, of Holland Hall, furnished
still another of these rooms, as did
also the members of Willard Union,
w. C. T. U.
On this floor also are two magni-
fcently appointed, white, cleaning
bathrooms of which the fittings were
donated by William Desmond, in
memoriam of his father and mother,
Maurice and Honoria Desmond. The
linoleum which covers the floor of
these was given by Mrs. John M.
Reed, and Mr.. Swan, of Swan Broth
ers.
On this floor also is a large room
furnished jointly by Mrs. Ben
Wheatley and Mr.. Frank Michel
bach. The sixth room was made habi-
table by the Board of Governors.
On the main floor is room which
the Boy Scouts of Alexandria have
made themselves responsible for.
They have insisted, however, that it
shall be occupied by an old man.
There are several other rooms in the
basement which it is hoped will be
provided for by other philanthroplc
persons. If this is done it is contem-
plated to use these for the housing
of old men also.
On the top floor there is also ample
opportunity to help. One Of the front
rooms is being put into shape by
Judge Louis C. Barley and the Rev.
Edward F. Kirkley. Among other
contributors is Mrs. Thomas Fisher
who gave the fine rug which adds so
greatly to the attractiveness of the
dining room,, in addition to household
appliances, too numerous to mention.
AS has been stated, the transforma-
tion of this historic old Home, sold
to the Board of Managers for S1,5O0,
is little short Of miracle. Today,
as it stands, with the expenditure Of
little more than the purchase. price,
its valuation can not be little less than
$4,000. 1t is a striking instance oil
commingling of charity and COM
nonsense.
Already some Of the tenants have
moved into what must prove pleas
ant. home. The matron or superin-
tendent-which it is?-has also
arrived. She is Miss Florence Arnold,
who comes here from Elmira, n. Y,
where she was in charge of the Flor

but if you and had lived in Babylon
in Belshazzar's time we wouldn't

there and l imagine | can see the
flashing jewels and hear the rustic
of fine silken gowns, the dancing
girls, the wine drinking, revelry and
debauchery! and amid it all the hand
which appeared and wrote upon the
wall the sentence which startled and

taken the sacred vessels from the
temple and desecrated them for his
own vile use. Daniel told him his gov
ernment would be divided and given to
the Medes and Persians. ard hardly

balances! You may be heavyweight
in your own or your wife's eyes, but
in Gods scales you fall far short!
You'll find the weights in the goth
chapter of Exodus-Thou shalt not!
