For Gift Decorations.

Here is very clever and new
scheme for the decoration of pin
balls. photograph frames, box covers
and other things. 1t gives the effect
Of well painted silk. To show the
method one can illustrate with a
pin-ball First, cut two ovals of
cardboard Of the size desired. Cover
one oval with pretty silk or ribbon.
Now comes the decoration for the
other oval. Select a picture with
fairly bright colors-a pretty face.
a group or a landscape will do. Cut
it out the exact size Of the card
board ovals, place it on the card
board and cover 1t tightly with the
finest and sheerest white gauze Now
sew the ovals together neatly. The
idea can be used on any surface over
which the gauZe can be stretched
tightly. A fairly large landscape
for instance, from which the center
has been cut. would make a good
photograph frame. The idea may be
used in scores Of ways and gives a
very artistic effect.

Home for Vice President.
Everybody shares the opinion that
senator Elkins will succeed in his
crusade to have Congress buy a home
Tor the next Vice President, and there
are many who wish it might be pos
siDie to carry with this excellent pro-
vision of restoring to the departing
Vice President, Mr.. Marshall, the huge
sum he has spent for the past four
years in housing his official status
In suitable style. But few believe
that Mr.. Coolidge would care for the
splendid palace out 10th street which
popular opinion dubs the vice presi-
dentia/mansion. The trend of Wash
ing ton just now is toward the CEN
ter OF the city rather than the western
hills. All the recent vice presidents
nave selected homes within reason
able distance of the White House.
Mr.. Hobart lived almost opposite 1t
in the fine old Don Cameron house now
part of the Cosmos Club. Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Sherman lived on low
er 18th street. while the Charles Fair
banks We're on Farragut square. The
Vice President and Mrs. MarshalH
have never been farther away during
the season proper than the Shoreham
or the New Willard. Many senators
and members have already pointed
out to Senator Elkins, who is ,spon-
soring the bill for the vice presiden-
tial home with his customary zeal,
that 1t would be a hardship and a
loss of time to fix the home of the
second official in the nation in any
remote spot. He should be as much
In the center of things as the Presi-
dent, for in the social sense, his
family is much more the center of ac-
ton in the broad popular sense. Any
body may call on the Vice President
and his lady, whereas cards of ad-
mittance are necessary to reach the
inner portions of the White House.
And already some patriotic women
are gathering forces to furnish parts
of the vice presidential home in ap-
propriate style. when Congress does
act in the matter. Several societies
Of antiquarian leanings have treas
ures which they will gladly bestow
to give the domicile Of the heir-ap-
parent Of the, nation the air of repose
and dignity it should have from the
beginning. For no one expects Gov.
Coolidge to sacrifice ibis own house,

1t has been the boast Of George
town for two hundred years at least
that 1t was never a boom town. but
something of this nature seems to
have entered the oldest of all cities
situated on the Potomac. All the
splendid homes are being avidly pur-
chased and at good prices, and the
general opinion is that Washington
has nothing to offer comparable with
the mansions in Georgetown and on
it's heights, many OF them built under
the watchful eye OF Or. Wiliiam
Thornton and the worthy architects
of his day Mr.. Robert T. Lincoln
set an admirable example when he
purchased Evermay, and he has found
imitators coming thick and fast. The
George Blisses are close by, and the
most interesting Of rumors gathers
about the most beautiful of all
Georgetown homes with the sole ex-
ception of Tudor Place, The Oaks,
for so many years the hospitable
dwelling of Col and Mrs. Henry Fitch
Blount For the rumOr is that Mrs.
Wilson has become it's recent pur-
chaser and that, Furthermore, she has
been negotiating for this handsome
park and mansion since 1t became
known that the Blount heirs would
sell.
The Oaks. which is on a gem
tile eminence overlooking the river
and the creek, stands on the oldest
street in what Is now the federal dis
trict. 1t was called PARROTS lane"
"Boyce's lane" and. for more than a
century now, Lovers lane" In the
prosaic way of cities. it is Wisconsin
avenue and r streets now. The aged
oaks. spruces and velvet lawn owe
much to the care Of the first proprie-
tor, William H. Dorsey. who purchas-
ed from the original owners, the
Beal1 heirs. in 1900. Mr.. Dorsey began
the mansion in 1901. after his ap-
pointment as judge of the Orphan 9
Court by President Jefferson. He
lived on his estate until 1905, when he

had been Jane Tayloe of Mount Airey
and sister Of Col. John Tayloe who
built the Octagon house.
Leaving the property to his son,
James B. Beverly. that proprietor sold
to James e. Calhoun, who occupied it
jointly with John c. Calhoun, the emf
nent southern statesman. John G.
Calhoun occupied the Oaks during his
career in the Senate. while he was
Secretary of War and Vice President
of the United States. Another owner
was Edward M. Linthicum. under
whose fostering care the fine gardens
and ornamental trees were planted
and the estate made what it still re-
mains. one of the show places OF the

FINE SHOWING IN THRIFT
Pupils in Some of FairIee Schools Buy
Stamps.

Every pupil Happy Jack" is the
slogan adopted by the teachers of the
Fairlee intermediate school in Fairlee,
who have made fine showing in the
sale of thrift and war savings stamps.
Miss Evalyn X. Lufkin, who teaches
the third, fourth and fifth grades, has
nineteen pupils who own total of
s277.25 worth of the stamps, an aver
age of $l4.60 for each pupil. The
children are proud of the honor GER
tificate representing 100 per cent of
membership in the classes listed as
stamp purchasers. In the primary
room of the same building, where Miss
Lufkin's sister, Miss Isabella L. Luf-
kin, teaches grades one and two, the
eighteen pupils each own stamps and
this group also possesses an honor GER
tifcate. The primary room pupils hold
$6075 worth, or ansaverage of 1888
in stamps.
The Misses Lufkin are promoting
the sale of war savings stamps and
hrift stamps among their pupils, and
are encouraging the children TO save
Systematically in every way possible.
They have found the Happy Jack"
club idea exceedingly useful in this
work.
