Andrews usually does things right in the en-
tertainment line You can hear frst-class
actor or a Metropolitan Opera singer at his
place when he gives an affair that calls for
entertainment. That was why we had such
shock when he sprung this vaudeville actor on
said in early days the people at Christmas
entertainments had to put up with what inspira-
ton they could get from wandering minstres
we know now why they were kept wandering
and court testers. This boy he had picked
up from the three a-day, and we wondered how
he got to the third installment of his days
work. He might fool people by getting to the
second, but as FOR going on third time in
one day. we just couldn't imagine it, We nat
urally felt that this minstrel, as Andrews
chose to call him, closed the days entertain-
ment, and we men scattered for the cars in
various states of physical wellbeing but in
one frame of mind, which was a Dark Age
peeve
"Of course, Andrews claimed that he did it
all just to show US how lucky to bs
living in an age when we can have steam heat
and electric lights and vtamines and all that
sort of thing, and that Christmas didn't really
begin to be merry until the Los Angeles film
colony succeeded the Wandering Minstrels'
Union. But l question if his idea got over
very generally. In fact, most people seem I'd
be slow to accept invitations to affairs az
Andrews's home now. They are afraid thers
is medieval catch in it somewhere. His wif1
is quite frantic about it, as it has hurt her po4
stion as a social leader. But, of course, aIl
the sympathy she gets from other women--i
and particularly from those who attended this
affair I have told about-s that no womal
who wants to keep her friends should eyes
marry medievalist or an archaologist or any
otn r kind of an 'ist,' except possibly . good
home brew mixologist."

Wins LOVELY HOME
Congressman apd Wife Take
Infant Into Hearts
and Home.

For fifteen years Congressman
Frederick N. Zihlman, of Cumberland,
Md, and Mrs. Margaret Zihlman have
been married. During this time their
home had been without children. It's
true they had picture babies" lots
OF them, clipped from newspapers and
magazines, but then, you know, pic
ture babies aren't real-they can't

Mama" can't Irvine chubby little

little cheeks and lips to yours. The
zihlmans wanted a real baby, and now
they have one. .r.
This is Mrs. Zihlman's explanation
of Suzanne. Suzanne Is the tiny two
week-old infant the Zihlmans have
adopted and taken into their home.
Returning from White Sulphur
Springs the other day Mrs. Zihlman
surprised friends by this announce
ment.
Blue Eyes and Fluffy Hair.
Up in the boudoir of the fashionable
apartment of the wardman Park
Hotel, where they make their home,
Mrs. Zihlman quietly takes her friends
who call, over to a big white carriage
with big pink bow across the front.
Down IN. the depths is a sure-enough
little fluffy, soft thing with tuft OF
hair and big, blue eyes. That's
Suzanne.
II don't know whether her hair is
light or brown" said Mrs. Zihlman,
tenderly covering the baby up more.
"She has such little. But then you
know a baby's hair always changes.
And do you know she actually weighs

decorated with charming pictures Of

IT wanted q real baby, said Mrs.
Zihlman., II told my doctor to be on
the lookout for me and IL he came
across a healthy, nice little baby whose
parents were willing that 1t be adopted
to remember me. Sure enough he did.
and when I returned to town the other
day he told me about this one. The
Congressman and myself were delight

Mrs. Zihlman laughingly told Of an
amusing Incident. She Is said to close

American prima donna, while her hus-
hand Is said to be almost the double Of

There appeared In the newspapers
a photograph Of this famous couple,
showing Alma Gluck holding in her
arms a tiny little Zimbalist and the
father casting loving eyes at their
first baby. Friends marking the re-
semblance to the Zlhlmans clipped the
photograph and mailed 1t to them.
They thought they looked so much
like us, except Of course that there
was no baby, that they couldn't resist
the temptation to send it," said Mrs.
