"Oh, Warren, what has happened
now?" Helen asked laughing in
spite of herself.
Matter enough; we've got to

Mover" Helen almost shriekcd
the word.

Surely you're joking. Why. we can't
move. We like the place, and the
neighborhood. There's no reason
why we should go, excepting Tor

"Of course that increase doesn't
mean anything to you-you don't
pay for it"
"Well, but I'd be glad to pay for

myself other things"

Then you are willing to be walked

find something we'd like a lot better
than we do this, and much cheaper

"Yes, and we might not. You re-

before she found her place."
THAT was different. Frances
wanted q place downtown and q

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Without doubt the coat dress
makes an all-important feature
of the new fashions. 1t is one of
the smartest possible garments
and it is one of the most be-
coming. Here is an excellent
example. 1t is cut on the SIM
pie, digni6ed lines that make
the essential characteristics of
the Fall and it can be made from
serge or from gabardine to be
adapted to everyday uses, or
it can be made from velvet or
from silk to be adapted to after
noon occasions. In the picture,
it is made of gabardine COM
bined with satin. 1t makes a
handsome gown and one that
can be used for many occasions.
For everyday use one would,
of course, make the sleeves to
match the gown. Women who
are giving their time to the
various needs of national ser
vice will find such a costume of
ineslimable value. 1t is exceed
ingly easy to slip on and off and
at the same time it is always
smart and dignihed in effect.
For the medium size will be
needed, 5N yards of material
a. inches wide, ~ yards Sd,
with IM yards SO inches wide
for the sleeves and trimming to
make as shown in the illustra-
ton, S yards of material 81
inches wide to make the entire
gown.
The pattern No. o526 is cut
in sizes from SO to 46 inches
bust measure. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on
receipt of fifteen cents.

He kept silent after that. All his

Glen Echo parE

Tomorrow night at Glen Echo Park
the famous Marimba Band will open
a weeks engagement as the big
special free feature at the popular
resort. This is the first chance WASH
ington has had to hear this unique
organization that during the past
season created such a sensation az
the Century Theater.
Playing the instruments of their
native land and wearing the
picturesque Guatemalan costumes,
these unique musicians will appear
nightly in the big dance pavilion
where they will alternate with Milds
orchestra and play the latest metro
politan dance hits.
Next Saturday matinee dance,
starting at $50, has been arranged at
which the Guatemalans will play all
of the musical numbers.
Tomorrow for the thousands of
visitors who flock to the resort on
Sunday whenever the weather is
propitious there will be a series OF
free concerts by Celfo's band under
the baton of the director, Antonio
Cello. which like the free open air
movies are added attractions to the
varied diversion the park offers.
Dancing every week night with the
added novelty of the Marimba band,
free movies, the two big thrill rides
and all of the long list of regular
amusements will be on the daily pro-
gram during the week. Admission to
the grounds is always free and severa
big outings and the any number Of
small basket parties will have the
run OF the resort during the daylight
hours this week. Picnic tables. play
grounds, boating and every facility OF
the park will be at their disposal.

PROVIDE DANSANTS
At POLPS THEATER
New Improvement Made to Delight
Summer Patrons.

The fact that Polls Theater has
windows on all three sides, and is
therefore one of the coolest and most
naturally ventilated public assembly
places in Washington, has encouraged
Manager Fred G. Berger to make a
further addition to the attractions
of the playhouse with between the
acts dansants. both afternoon and
evening. The spacious lobby on the
Fifteenth street side Of the theater,
as well as the porch deck at that
point. will be utilized for that pur-
pose. and special music will be pro-
vided.
Polls Theater has more than ever
become the rendezvous of the younger
set in Washington and it is felt that
dancing. under these circumstances,
will be particularly interesting to the
Poll patrons.
