m HE mammoth Salvation Army
ball, the opening of the horse
show, the Japanese masque,
the opening of congress, the council
Of the Colonial Danes of America,
and the conference of the National
Republican Women's Executive
committee, have been but a few of
the things which have made this a
busy week in Washington. The
opening OF the new congress in ex-
ira. session was a peculiarly inter-
esting and important occasion, be-
cause of so many new members
being sworn in, and a complete
change of leadership in the house of
representatives. MrS. Champ Clark,
wife of the retiring speaker Of the
house, now the minority leader of
that body, had a large and signifi-
can't reception last week as her swan
song Is the ranking hostess of that
circle. Mrs. Clark has host of
friends here, made during her long
residence in Washington. She has
been identified with the women pro-
noting woman suffrage, civic i'm
provements, temperance and uni
versal peace, instead of with the
butterflies of society. Her recep-
tons are unique in the social history
Of Washington. She. has always
arranged talk of some sort, usual
ly had a few men of Importance
and prominence who have spoken
on current topics, and the whole
tone of the affair was rather of a
lecture or literary society than the
mere meeting and drinking of tea
among women.
A New Leader.
Mrs. Gillett, wife of new speak
er, is of the directly opposite type.
She has been member of Washing
tons exclusive, conservative and
aristocratic circle of society through
out her long residence here, first as
the daughter of the late Sena-
tor Hoar, and the wife of Represent
tative lockwood Hoar OF Massachu-
sets. and then as a wealthy and at
tractive widow until her marriage to
Representative Gillett. a prominent
bachelor of the wealthy and ex-
elusive class. Her two daughters,
the Misses Frances and Louise Hoar
who still live in the old home of
their late grandfather, the late sena-
tor from Massachusetts,. were de-
butantes Of two recent seasons, and
speedily became leaders in the smart
set of buds. They are very hand
some girls, like their mother. and
have hecently gone in for private
theatricals and vaudeville stunts.
They are now acknowledged to be
among the very best dancers in anna
teur circles. They have danced solo
dances and in duos several times
this year in public, making a Won
derful success, their performances
being quite equal to professionals.
They have been for two years among
fashionable clerks in the State de-
partment, in that large circle of
young women who were taken in
the emergency of the department,
when the press of war work first
came. These clerks, strangely enough
were chosen from among the
wealthy and prominent circles of So
ciety, not as dollar-a-year clerks, but
as 81, 100 to 81 400 clerks. The Hoar
girls resigned but two months ago,
and since have been visiting in New
York and Massachusetts,. They re-
turned here with their mother
week or more ago, to remain>for the

practical; ideal in that its supreme
aim is humanity; practical in that it
seeks means and measures to meet
the tragic crises which are daily
recurrent in the lives of all man
kind,
Surely, the operation of such a
plan would develop a new fraternity
and sympathy among the peoples.
By 50 doing, an important contribu-
ton will have been made towards
! the success of the league OF nations,
and this present plan should be
viewed as a vital factor in the larger
undertaking.
The league of nations aims to
hold all peoples together in an ef-
fort to avoid war and TO insure free
dom; this particular plan aims at
devislng a procedure whereby all
peoples may cooperate actively in
promoting the health and happiness
OF one another.

Red Cross congress at Geneva be-
gins its labors.
The worlds leading experts in
public health, tuberculosis, hygiene,
sanitation and child welfare have
been summoned to Cannes to assist
the committee. While measures for
handling problems of world relief in
emergencies, such as fires, famine
and pestilence will have large
share in the program, sound ways
by which the public health may be
improved will be included, the uni

only toward relieving human suffer
ing and distress, but toward prevent

Early last week one of our popular
teachers stood on the corner of
Eighteenth and Farnam waiting to
cross when two cars drove past,
breaking all the speed laws and de-
Tying the pursuing officers of the
law. The car evidently contained
alcoholic and forbidden refresh
ments-wc surmise this much-but
we know that the first car contained
two men and one smartly dressed
woman, whose chapeau-a creation
Of black lace and costly ornaments
was the envy of every woman
who couldn't afford it-especially
those whose husbands finances
were always depleted because said
liquid refre shments come so high.
But Fate and the wind took
rand. Together they yanked the
chapeau from milady's readymadc
curls and hurled it at the feet OF the
teacher who stood. OH the crossing.
Long she waited for the owner to
return and claim her head piece
But as we say. everything has its
compensation, even 10 being

| Is. An excess of anything is destruc.
tive to beauty"
No sane person objects to the
touch of color that gives freshness
20 the face, or the busting of powder
that takes away shine When cos,
netics are not obviously cosmetics
they belong to beauty. As soon as
they show, they are anathema, for
no man wants to see artificiality and
vulgarty in the woman he cares for.
In dress it is pretty we'll estab-
,ished what is modest and what is
not. Personally. l think the low cut
gown is beautiful.
Now we may reconstruct our ex-
aggerated notions both for and
against everything, multiply by IS,
and divide by 3-we have beauty
unadorned.
NOTHING is half so bad as we
~ believe it will be.
No suffering is so keen as that
which we anticipae.
We have predicted all sorts of re-
suits, such as bolshevism and things,
if rents keep on going up and COM
forts continue to go down.
But! Just listen to this!
Architect Atterbury of the Great
White Way says that here is no rea-
son why we should not buy our
houses as we buy our shoes; that
the wholesale manufacture of blocks
would make it possible for a house
to be put together by four men in
three days and that his system would
greatly reduce the cost.
We are living in ready-made age.
We wear ready-made shoes and
clothes. We dodge. or try to dodge,
laws and automobiles.
Why should we persist in clinging to
the individualistic made to order

house, built of anywhere from six to
twelve different materials
SO. Mr.. Atterbury wants standard
houses, built of standardized ma
erals. in standardized parts. A five
or SIX room house can be built of
less than 400 different pieces, all
slipped into place with a steel der
rick, fastened in jiffy, and be
ready to wear three days after it
is started.
According to his plans, building a
house is just like a child building
toy. house of nursery blocks on big
scale.
In this rapid era of chance and
change we shall, perhaps, purchase
ready-made houses. Next we will be
watching the ads for bargain sales.
Oul, Oui There is no limit to the
human mind and the mother OF in
ventlon is wise old soul.
EVERYTHING has its compen-
~ sations and price, even the
very dangerous and hazardous
lite OF a bootlegger's companion.

Huddled
And hurdled
And damned
Into a creeping
Trolley car
And swing from a strap
Or fall in the lap
OF someone
More fortunate than you g..
1t never occurs
To the lady in furs
To scan the apparel
Or the one in spring
Bonnet ana ties.
There isn't a chance
For half a glance
At your neighbors
Who dance
On your toes in the push,
But this new innovation
Is quite a sensation
Riding downtown
When each one has seat
In a comfortably neat
Jitney car.
We hailed one ourself
On a corner last week
And climbed in
With our "jitney" in hand
And when we were seated
Lo! Behold!
We completed
A trio in
Spring a Ia mode
For right out
In front of US
There were tan shoes

And each pair Of hose
Matched the blue
In our clothes
And also the blue
OF our straw sailor hats.
Right there on the seat
Three girls sat
~ Mum with defeat
Their attempt to be different
Was thwarted.
Three blue sailor hats,
Three blue tailored suits,
Six hose in the same
Shade of blue
Were complete in the r
Tan low heeled ties.
We decided right there
That a cit" five cent fare

4 scores auto rides.
Now we are convinced
Through and through
Ever since
How alike are we few
Who think we arc
