Entertained at Tea.

Entertained at Tea.
Twelve women of the Trinity M. e.
! church entertained more than one
hundred women at an afternoon tea
in the Y. w. G. A. series today. An in
formal program, which included vo-
cal solo by Mrs. F.. C. Edwards, piano
duet by Mrs. Sam Lloyd and Mrs. Yer
non Mckay and a piano duet by Miss
Gladys Guiss and Miss Gladys Engle-
hardt, was a pleasant feature OF the
afternoon.
Furnish Own Color Scheme.
Positively the only way you can go
in for color effects this coming spring
and summer is to turn green with
envy, have a yellow streak. fit OF
blues or red yourself up to be the pink
of neatness, says an exchange. They
do say that all is fair in love and
war, but it's been mighty hard for
some of us to be fair with the recent
embargo on peroxide. Fortunately
that has just been lifted and hearts
and heads are once more light.
The outlook for other dystuffs, how.
ever, is very dark. The weather man
has often predicted a white winter
for u.s. but now the fashion man prom
ises us a white summer-white with 4
large dash of tan by way Of variety.
By way Of getting the greatest
amount Of variety out Of tan, you can
call it biege, ecru, string biscuit, sand
and putty, as it's intensity Of tanness
wanes or wakes.
Fortunately we already have such
charming tan summer materials in
natural pongee, shantung and raiah
silks, to say nothing Of natural linens,
that to be thus limited for our spring
and summer outfits, threatens no real
tribulation.
Cotton voiles of rich biege color,
striped in the same toned cotton vel
vet are most effective, and the biege
black striped are stunning additions
to the new tan toned fabrics. Fable is
lovely in these neutral standings too
and spring suits of ecru accru much
credit to the wearer as do the little
turbans of biscuit colCTed straw and
taffeta and the high shoes with putty
colored tops.
If you remember we were caught in
sand storm of sand Colored suits,
hats and accessories last spring, but
this years bisque hued crop promises
less violence and more quiet effective
ness.
AS BETTING a neutral nation, that
other most neutral of tints, pearl
grey, will also have its place in the
monotones of our modern frocks. Of
a necessity then, the modern maid de-
liberately going against the admoni-
ton Of Mr. Omar to fling her winter
garment of repentance aside for the
fire OF spring, will change instead her
flame hued garb of winter for the
ashes of a new sartorial season.
And so a grey or tan mark will be
added to the aggregate mass Of black
marks against the war by the woman
of fashion. But between you and me,
after viewing the Ballet Russo backed
by Bakst with its chaotic and unre-
strained riot of colors, we can't be-
love that the poor war is the only
thing responsible for the alarming
ShOrtness of dyes

STREET CAR SPLITTING.
A Dangerous Practice That Should
Be Checked.

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS the season is near approaching the
time when 1t will be uncomfortable to
ride In cars with the windows open
and the patrons who used to spit out
the windows will instead spit on the
floor. desire to call attention to the
stopped in some western cities, notably
Louisville, KY. In these cities the
conductors are sworn in as deputy
health officers, and the offending pas
senger Is turned over to the police
officers at crossings or on sight AS
a general thing he forfeits collateral
of IS rather than face trial. An
observation in Washington as to spit
ting on the street cars, notwithstand-
lawful. develops the fact that Offend
ers are mostly persons residing out
side of the District, and who commit
the offense on the cars before reaching
the line At the recent hearing on the
standards for street cars in the Dis
trict. Commissioner Brownlow, upon
being interrogated as to this matter
by the writer, assured him that the mat
ter would be taken up after the standard
car service. matter had been settled.
Such being the case, 1t is evident that
the committees on health and santa
tion of the various citizens associa-
tions of the District should urge the
Commissioners to. grant this hearing
at the earliest possible moment. Near
ly all health authorities are unit as
to the disastrous effects upon the pub
lie health by the practice of splitting
at any place used by the general pub
lie, and the practice should be stopped.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railway Com
pany has taken this matter up and
little posters reading as follows are
distributed on their trains to Wash
ington to their patrons: Splitting is
dangerous and illegal! tuberculosis is
transmitted in this way and kills more
people than any other disease"
am of the opinion the matter can be
solved and the practice stopped by
making conductors deputy health Of
f1cers. with power of arresting persons
who spit on the cars. and hope the
matter will be taken up by our citizens
and civic organizations in the interest
of the welfare of our citizens who use
these conveyances. ..

BANK BANDITS CAPTURE

Small Island in Chokoloskee

FORT MYERS. Fla, September 29.-

MAIL TO BE ON SPACE BASIS.
COMPENSATION to Railroads for
TRANSFORMATION Changes Nov. l.

Compensation Of the railroads for
transportation of mails on the space
basis will become effective November
1 throughout 80 per cent of the service,
according to announcement Of the Post
Office Department. This will be done
to test the possibilities Of this method.
Although authorized in the last post
office appropriation act, the final de-
cision as to whether it shall be made
permanent Is left to the interstate
commerce commission.
"It is expected" said a statement
issued by the department. that the
cost of mail service on a space basis
will be somewhat. in excess of the cost
on weight basis, at least at the out
set, but this excess is counterbalanced
by certain economies and savings
which can be effected in transporting
empty equipment and supplies in the
space paid for but unused when mails
run light"

The laboratory is finding q high per-

selected cases. the laboratory does not
go in for general conclusions as to per-
centages as yet. but any one can look
at the results and see that the per-
centages run high. 1t is a new con-
ception in some ways for society to
