ABOUT LOVE.

They wonder what really
happened to the strangely
dressed lady with the candle
In her hand walking about
like Lady Macbeth, though
with a different purpose, they
hope. Of course, they know
that love is the one thing she
is looking for, and they hope
she finds it.

ABOUT DECORATIONS

They know that the right
thing in the right place will
make home more attractive,
so they wonder where they

What Do Women Think About?
Here Is Evidence That Variety of Interesting Things
Take Up Their Attention

Women should think about
these things, and, having a
keener sense of duty than
men, they think about them
willingly.
But they think about other
things, too, and there could
be no better index of what
they like to think about than
the contents of a magazine,
which is made primarily for
them and which they read by
the hundreds of thousands.
Taking Harper's Bazaar for
July as the foundation of
your index, you find that they
think
ABOUT FAMOUS WOMEN
For instance. They know
that the Queen of Rumania is
to visit this country late in
the autumn. They are inter
ested in how she looks, what
she wears, and what she has
been doing since the war
stopped devastating her coun-
try. They read with pleasure
of the report of a possible
marriage of her daughter to
the future King of England,
and that she was the first
woman to be elected to the
Institut de France since its
foundation, in 1895.
You will find they think
ABOUT PRETTY HOMES.
They are particularly inter
ested In the bedrooms Of IA
nous women like the opera
star, Geraldine FaIrar Telle-
gen. They wonder why a
woman with as beautiful a
place to sleep as is pictured
ever gets up from such ele-
gance to work at rehearsals
in half -dark theaters. And
then they wonder what the
other rooms are like, and they
find out in the other pictures.
And they think

And speaking of water and pro
hibition, What's the matter with
having some drinking water for the
general public in the Capitol and
House Office Building? Yesterday
while up there only found one
place where there was water, but
there were no cups. only one Clipped
glass. which appeared TO be none
too clean.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-06-26
And they think
ABOUT FASHIONS.

They wonder if feathers
fixed as they are in the pic
ture at the right would look
well with that white satin
they saw advertised for $3.50
a yard yesterday. They are
absolutely certain that fine
feathers make fine birds, but
will this particular arrange
ment of feathers be becom-
ing? If not, there are other
feathers and other arrange
ments. Nothing can stop a
woman from being attractive
If she really puts her mind
on it.

"TEA FOR THREE"

"Tea for Three" Roi Cooper Me.
grue's high class comedy, which proved
the most successful play of its kind
produced in New York last year, will
be seen at the Warfeld on Monday,
October 50
The comedy will be seen here, ex-
actly as it was seen at Maxine Elliott S
Theatre New York, where it ran for
one entire year.
In Tea for Three which he calls
IAN angle on the triangle" Mr. Me-
grue has Eiven the theatre one of the
brightest plays ever written by an
American. The story is strictly mod
ern and despite the fact that 1t deals
with what finally proves to be trt-
fling incident in the lives of several
thoroughly nive people, it is sensa-
tionally dramatic throughout
No single feature of "Tea for Three"
probably received higher praise than
the dialogue of the author. Critics
described it as scintillating, brilliant
and quite the best ever to come from
the pen of an American playwright.
In the hands of the capable cast The
Three ;" is certain to prove one of the
dramatic treats of the year.
During'its long engagement in New
York it is likely "Tea for Three" was
seen by far more discriminating au-
dience than any other play produced
there during that entire season. 1t
was the one play everyone was urged
to see and that it came through so
searching fire of criticism, unscathed
and with added glory, speaks all the
more highly for it, "Tea for Three is
one play theatregoers cannot well az I
ford to miss.

screen player will be seen at the Dixie
Theatre on Monday in support of Vic
tor Moore in the Paramount production
of "The Clown" thrilling photo
drama by Miriam Fairfax. Mr.. Meighan

In "Out of Darkness" he was over

and he still bears the scars of the
burns he received in "The Trail of the
Lonesome Pine" In "The Sewers"

PUBL WHARF.

An election is being held today (Fri
day. to vote on the $4,000 bond issue
for the construction of the public
wharf, acquiring additional frontage
from the Hunter-Benn interests, right
of-way for railroad tracks through the
Frederic estate and the Amanda
Krebs property and construction ot
the railroad tracks from the l.. & N
Railroad to the wharf
If there is any opposition, to the
bond issue it has not made itself mani
fest and the election will probably
carry unanimously.
In the eminent domain proceedings
before Judge Chidsey Monday the
Frederic estate was awarded $3,568
and Mrs. Amanda Krebs $1,150 dam
ages for railroad right-of-way, the ver-
dict being by agreement.
The $4,000 bond issue has already
been sold to A. T. Bell & Co. OF To-
ledo at premium of $2,483.OO. Other
bids were John Nuveen & Co., Chicago,
$77010.00; Merchants & Merine Bank,
Pascagoula, $76,5S7O0; Mortgage Trust
Co., st. Louis, $76,567O0. This speaks
volumes for the credit of the city.
Plans for the public wharf have al
ready been adopted and the contract
will be advertised. Construction of
the railroad tracks to the wharf will
begin soon.
The tracks of the International Ship
building Co. will connect with those
of the city, and the company has al
ready received several cars of rails.

CITY PURCHASES PROPERTY.

The city has purchased the Dr. Mar
| tin lot, corner of Pascagoula street and
Dupcnt avenue, same to be used for
school purposes. On account of the
large increase of the school population
the present Central High School has
become Inadequate to accommodate
the attendance. A three-room frame
building will be erected at once on the
new lot to take care of the overflow
from the Central school, the primary
classes being slifted to the new build
ing
1t is the plan of the board of trus-
tees and city council as soon as lie
city finances will permit, to erect a
modern high school on the new lot,
building in keeping with the growth
and Importance of the city. When
this is done the present high school
building will be used as a grammar
school.
The property just purchased is ideal
" located, being just one block south
of the present high school. 1t con-
tans about five acres of land, which
will give ample Fairgrounds, the lack
of which is one of the great shortcom-
ings of the present Central school,
The city did not have money avail
able for the purchase Of the Martin
lot, but as the necessity of securing it
and erecting temporary school build
ng was so self-evdent, a number of
public spirited citizens had no hest
fancy in advancing the money until an
election for bond issue can be called.
