tist I mean by an artistic lover
one who appreciates and loves the
beautiful wherever II may be. A
woman who is herself of the ar
tistic type can best appreciate this
type OF lover. 1t is only she who
can make the future home what her
loyer-husband can best appreciate.
If you are yourself an artistic girl
you should seek out for your mate
the artist type of lover. If not you
had better steer clear Of him. He
will make love TO you anyhow. IL he
has the chance, but you will be wise
to marry some other type.

The Most Proposed-to Woman In
The World.
A wonderfully appealing type is
the artistic lover. 1t is he. and he
only. who can make love so that the
flowers, the trees. the stars and the
heavens are part OF the universe of
love with which he surrounds his
beloved. The artistic lover brings
to his lovemaking all the beautiful
things OF life-it is he who can best
paint in words the burning thoughts
which fill his soul for his lived ones.

DRASTIC PAYROLL
REDUCTION FEARED
Official Says Government cIeri.
cal Force Is Being Decreased
As Fast as Possible.

what effect will the sudden dis
charge Of a large number of Gov
ernment employees, a. contemplated
by Congress, have on the various de-
partments and on local conditions in
Washington? p
This question is arousing great iu-
tcrest today. following the announce
ment by Chairman Good. of the House
Appropriations Committee, that one
Of the first steps to reduce the Gov
ernment expenditures will be the dis
charge of between 10000 and 10000
of the Government employees.
"We are discharging our extra en-
pioyes as rapidly as possible. and
since the armistice we have reduced
our payroll by about AZ per cent"
said John c. Scofield, chief clerk OF
the War Department. today. I'VE
can not reduce any more rapidly
without seriously affecting the COM
pletion of necessary work, In my
opinion"
At the Bureau of War Risk dis
charges are taking place at a much
slower rate and at present the work
ing force is only about 500 below
the strength during the war.
I'VE are letting out our employees
just as fast as their work is CON-
pleted." said Frank S. Curtis, Navy
Department chief clerk. "Any other
discharges would probably cripple ser
iously work now going on"
The opinions OF the majority of he
leading real estate brokers in tho
city were that no very great changes
would be brought about In real est tate
conditions.
at would give relief to the ex-
traordinarily crowded condition here
now" said Charles Fairfax, president
of the Real Estate Brokers Associa-
tion. This would mean an easing of
the strain in privats homes where
rooms are rented. I do not think that
IL would cause any homes to be va
waited. There Is at present an aver
age of one more person In each build
ing than there should be for healthy
and sanitary conditions.
Il do not think that Congress should
take such action without due notice.
Real etate men here were urged to
build as rapidly as possible to relieve
the congestion, and any sudden order
reducing the Government working
forces would be a hardship on build
ers in some cases.
"The discharging of $4,000 or 80 600
employees might operate to reduce
room rents, but that is about all that
would be affected. OF course, IL would
give roomers an opportunity for a
more careful selection of rooms
"It will not affect building opera
tions now under way or contem-
plated"

SEASONS FIRST SNOW
PAYS CAPITAL VISIT
A Few Flakes Flutter Down, But
Rain Is to Follow, Says
Weather Man.

Washington shivered and looked at
the coal pile this forenoon as big
flakes of snow started to flutter
down on the payements.
AT the Weather Bureau il was pre-
dicted that the snowstorm would be
of only a few hours duration in
Washington. turning to rain with
slightly warmer temperature this
afternoon, and that the rain would
pass of eastward sometime tomor-
row.
The storm was general from Pa
cihc to Atlantic, taking the form of
rain in California and snow from
Nevada east. Washington got only
the edge of what was a heavy storm
in the Great Lakes region and across
the Alleghenies.
Sloppy pavements are the worst
the Capital has to fear, according to
he official forecast.
