ings, for I just haven't anything to say. I am wonderfully thrilled over opera, and wildly excited over the fact that I will see the girls tomorrow and they will tell me all about things. Then I eat and sleep and breathe with the black and white ball in my mind Jig Hassinger is the ceverest person ever for it was she who drew that queer little black and white lady in the paper yesterday morn ing, and she says that that en1b odies all of the mystery and charm of the ball. She thinks there wouldn't be anything to modern art if it did not symbolize something or have some hidden meaning and l guess she's right for I am not very well acquainted with art.
 Everybody has been shopping this week and buying the most fascinating little hats for spring, and they look so ex- quisite and dainty that I am afraid that the frost will come along and kill them just like it does peach blossoms. But I am going to wait just little bit longer and then just buy all sorts of beautiful things. I will have to have everything very beautiful this summer to console me because my first season is over. But then there is lots of consolation One just one-thing that I know could con- sole me for leaving all the world behind and I am not going to tell that But Little Book" I promise that if ever I tell anyone in the world. it will be you.
 l don't suppose I am a very patient soul, for even luncheon at the Southern club today and the prospect of dinner tonight cannot cheer me, for I feel like a little lost soul till the other debs are back again. That will be tomorrow, and I am just happy to think that 1t is so near.

These are the heroes of peace, these obscure,
unknown men, doing their duty practically 36s
days out of the year. In the news account the
name OF the towerman is not even mentioned but
he has twelve lives to his credit, and twelve
homes have been spared from mourning, and
twelve boys are given another chance to finish
their careers We get SO accustomed to the

Dislnterested citizens of Washington have been
making earnest appeals to the Senate Committee
on Appropriations in behalf of various important
projects and useful institutions not provided for
in the District bill as it passed by the House
The Districts revenues are ample for the main
tenance OF necessary existing institutions and to
provide for reasonable expansion and improve

the Federal Treasury, but the House measure does
not contemplate such fair contribution. 1t pro-

by taxation in the District and a meager sum in
addition, leaving many important projects unpro-
vided for, to the detriment of the Nations Cant
