The quota for this city is 5000 900, of
which approximately 100000 had been
subscribed through the four banks when
the canvassers struck out on their routes
this morning. Yet the quota is not nee
essarily the goal, and it will not be sur
prising if the final returns show that
Barre exceeded its apportionment.
This mornings serenade was pro-
longed medley of booming whistles and
the clang of church and school bells. AT
given signal, the concert began and
continued incessantly for five minutes
and longer. Many manufacturing plants
in the city furnished their quota of noise
and the same was true of the bells.
People whose thoughts were where they
shouldn't have been, thought the uproar
heralded an allied victory. Others whose
thoughts ran in approved channels had
their minds on Liberty bonds before the
chorus began and therefore smiled know

No wonder Mr.. Smith protests, but as long as Wash
ngton activities depend upon Congressional appropriations
and as long these appropriations made ND on the
present lines we will continue to find mst here and there
The fine bathing beach in the tidal basin is detail in
hne program for the development of Potomac Park for
the USE of the entire public Appropriations for the beach
were made some time ago. and that the money avail
able the costs have gone away out of sight Just what
hours the public may enjoy the swimming there matter
OF Judgment doubt; and the officers in charge would
much rather have the beach open ALL day than all day
minus two hours. But the money is lacking
Congress tries diligently to make Potomac Park a ueo
pies institution, but luck to be against u.s. took
to get appropriation for ferry to run from lower
Seventh street to East Potomac Park and even then was
only after this column began to make noise Public Off
cas have plans for complete athletic ayouts for the park

kicker manages to stave off the speedy development Of
these fine ideals

clothed and in her right mind.
Now, as said at the beginning of
this talk. I am not making a plea
either for or against that style of
clothing. Such things must be left
to each girls individual sense Of
decorum and taste. Only, II you
must go in for ''business dIsha-
bille," as the young man called it,
don't assume the same air Of in
Jured innocence you would be en-
titled to II you were dressed as
modestly as a trained nurse, for
instance,
Arc We Disposed TO RFnde Con-
sequences!
As a sex, We seem disposed to
eVads the consequences of our ac-
tons, and this is due, no doubt, to
accepting for SO many years some
thing they used to call chlvalry,
rather than the justice to which
We were entitled.
We declined to take our medI-
cine because We were ladies'" and
ought to have everything made
comfortable for US. Men are in-
clined to be mere honest, because
they had more justice and less Of
the PeFHicieus ehivalry. If a man
were to walk downtown with q
rose In his hair and chiffon shirt
with ribbons attached to his gauze
vest, he'd know in advance that Re
was going to provoke laughter,
and he'd be prepared to accept the
hiiarity that was his due,
But if weman garbs herself
in this manner and goes to a bust
ness office, she is unwilling to ac-
cept the consequences of such a
costume, i. G., an oblique admira-
tion lacking in respect And, as
in the two instances recorded, she
may even complain,
How much more simple every
thing would be if we could only
learn to face facts, and ladies who
desire profound respect during
business hours could anticipate
this by investing in sensible mus
lin shirt waists of not too thin a
quality.

typewriting plaea, where machines

preelsely the same scene was en-
acted.
The girl was insufficIenEly dreHB-
cd, she was hirtatious, and a young
man did exactly what he might
have been expected TO do, and the
young lady, in o spasm OF yirtuous
indignation, went and told on him
The president of the concern,
who received the complaint, looked
at her eoldly and saidI Mrs
Smith is the proper person TO TO-
port that sort OF thing to-" And
he vhirlsd away and resumed his
work, And the modest young lady
thsR went to Mrs Smith, who WIS
a sort OF leading lady that had all
the girl operatives in charge.
Now, Mrs Smith was fifty and a
cool-headed business woman who
saw right through people when she
looked at them over the rims OF
her tortoise shell speetaales-
Offers Her q jacket,
She had the girl repeat the COM
plant, which, curiousiy enough,
was not nearly SO dramatic, now
that she was telling 1t to a fellow
woman, Mrs. Smith heard her to
the end, regarded her transparent
chiffon waist attentiVely, glanced
at the eolored ribbons beneath, and
saidi As a remedy for such an
noyanees, has It ever occurred to
you to put on more ciothes7 Near

sPect. Suppose you put on this
jacket Of mine till you go home to-
night, and tomorrow you might
come fully dressed"
So the little champion of virtue
had to go round the rest of the aft
ernoon with Mrs. Smiths trump
ish old jacket on, and the other
girls had to pull the grins OF their
faces every time they looked at
