"The Capital in War Time"

Miss Margaret Merrill was warmly
greeted as the next speaker, her sub
ject being 1.-The Capital in War Time"
She spoke of the large numbers of
men who are now seen in army uni
forms, the tents of the National
Guard near the city being a very pic
turesque addition to the scenery; of
the military garb not being confined
to the men, but being worn by women
in attendance at the service camp,
where military drill, first aid and sur
gical dressing classes are held; of the
effect of the service upon school at
tendance during June; departments of
government being refused to visitors
the many men on guard duty; of the
most dramatic feature of the times in
the city being the visits of the Eu-
ropean missions, English, French,
Italian, Belgian and Russian, She
told many interesting ctories connect
ed with each mission and of the en-
thusiasm their visits aroused. She
also said the Confederate parade in
connection with the Confederate re-
| union was probably the most unique
| in the history of the world, 1000 men
| at least marching through the city
| being Joined by troops from Fort
| Myer, who are in training for the
! present world war.
| Mrs. Roger Williams was unable to
take her part on the program on ac-
! count of illness. A salute to the flag
was followed by the singing of 1.-THE
5 Star Spangled Banner"

Our Salad Days

Man cannot live by lettuce alone;
and so learns as he contemplates the
1,742,329 acres of it he has planted
in backyard gardens; but lettuce is
like the first robin, more interesting
as an indication of what is on the
way than in itself. 1t is the first
green thing, and we fancy that if
Noah's dove had not returned with an
olive leaf in its beak it would have
been a lettuce leaf. The lettuce is
the first rank of the advancing rows
in the garden; and after it darkens in
later days it grows ranker, so much so
in fact, that the chef uses it alto
gether for upholstering purposes on
his dishes, and it is not eaten at all
except doubtfully and surreptitiously
by unsophisticated persons who do
not sense at once where utility begins
and mere ornament ends.
Lettuce is mainly employed as an
excuse for INDUCING in French dress
ing, mayonaisse and one thing or an
other which we could not get grace
fully into our mouths without some
thing to put them on 1t has no in
trinsic value of its own. And the rear
ing of innumcrable acres of it means
that great sums will be spent for the
artful aids which are the real sub
stance of its popular favor.-Ex.
