founded by group of ultra fash
ionable women of the Capitol.
Heretofore, they had done nothing
more strenuous for the uplift than
to lift fragile tea cups from heavy
teak wood tables.
Even now when they are mixed
in the moil and broil of politics,
they do not forget to visit their
favorite modiste. Therefore most
Of them look like the latest hints
from Paris and when they appear
at political events, fashion writers
avidly take notes upon their
frocks, just as they do when these
same women appear at horse
shows and at the opera.
The common garden variety Of
women politician, those who are
drawn neither from the ranks Of
society or the extreme feminists,
realize fully the potency of good
dressing in attaining political ends.
Many charming costumes may
be observed around the legislative
halls that are worn by women who
are lobbying for bills in which they
are interested.

House unless he could snitch
enough to tide him over.
AS might have been expected,
the Grab began to Pan him. He
told him that he didn't have as
much Business Gumptron as a Bel

walk into Debt with his Eyes open
deserved to get it right where the
Lady wore the Beads.
IF you're looking for Sympathy,
you've barked up the wrong Tree"
said the Crab.
I'm not" was the Reply. "I've
just received enough Sympathy to
last me all Winter"
The Crab snarled and reached
for his Check Book.
"You can have whatever you
need, but you don't deserve it." he
said, and he signed it, leaving it

I'm view of the Fact that you
have saved my life, will try to
forgive you for lacerating my Feel

They retained the Flat, but the
Crab is just as Unpopular as ever.

for every Man he met, and after
the Second Day he called him Old
Chap and inquired as to His Health
in a Tone of Trembling Sohcitude
and picked little pieces of Lint off
his Coat.
81 know it's Oatmeal Mush," the
Man would say after the Gusher
had passed on, "but my Word! He
can ladle out that Soothing Syrup
and never spill Drop"
The Grab, on the other Hand,
gave correct Imitation of a Bear
with a Sore Paw. His Conversa-
tion was largely made up of Grunts.
He carried a Facial Expression
that frightened little Children in
Street Cars and took all the Starch
out of sentimental Young Ladies.
He seemed perpetually to carry
the Hoof-Marks of a horrible
Nightmare. Some said that he had
been blighted in Love and had
soured on the Universe. Others
imagined that his Liver was out
of Whack. At any rate, he was
shy on Sweetness and Light. His
Dial suggested Map of the Bad
Lands. and he was just out of Kind
Words. He could Knock better
than he could Boost.

below or waiting to be Scalped. 1t
was not a dignified thing to do, but
he had to yell for Assistance and
yell plenty.
He hot-footed to the Gusher,
friend Of his Youth and God Father
to his Children. He explained that
his Heels were beating Tattoo on
the Ragged Edge of Insolvency,
and, unless he could raise the
Wind, it meant Receiver over at
the Works. his Credit evaporated
and the Pianola to the Hook Shop.
The Gusher listened with Tears
in his Eyes. In Voice all choked
with Sobs, he rendered his Sym
pathy and his Sincere Hope that
all would yet be we'll. He said it
grieved him to see Friend 90
under the Rollers. 1t tore his
Heart. 1t did for sure. In fact, it
had so upset him that he would
have to go out into the Air. So he
did Dramatic Exit with one Hand
over his Streaming Eyes and the
lifelong Friend sat there with Salt
Water spattered all over him and
nothing in his Hand except his Hat.
AS soon as he had dried his
Clothes, he went to the Crab and
candidly owned up that he was on

and distribute Candy, the Crouch
would slide down in his Chair until
he was resting on his Shoulder
Blades. He seemed to have a Gallo
mel Taste in his Mouth as he lis
tened to the musical drip of the
Liquid Honey. That kind of Goo
went with some People, but nix for
Sweeney!
The Wife of the Married Man
liked the Gusher and tolerated the
Grouchy Party.
Every time the Gusher came into
the Flat, he held her Hand little
longer than necessary and looked
into her Hazel Eyes and told her
she was becoming Younger and
more Charming every Day. After
a Woman turns the 80 corner,
those speeches are worth a Dollar
a Word, because she finds herself
Guessing at times. Husband never
was jealous. He knew that the
Gusher told every Woman the
same thing, playing no Favorites.
When the Crouch came to see
them, he said How are your" and
then began to kick on the Weather
and tell about his Rheumatism.
One thing was certain. The Crouch
would never break up any Happy

Homes. And 1t was predicted
that he would never get a Wife
unless he took her on a Mortgage.
Every Husband has few Friends
who come in for hard Raps from
the Wife. And the Killjoy got all
that was coming to him. She used
to declare up and down that she
was going to break his Plate and
revoke his License. Husband would
remind her that he and the Crab
had roomed together at College
and done the Comrades Act ever
since they were Knee-High. He
would assure her that the Grab
was a good Fellow, but you had to
know him thirty or forty Years
before you found it out. He would
smooth her down and straighten
out her Feathers and she would
agree to give old Bad News just
one more Chance.
1t came about that one Year the

whom he had not passed up,
even to oblige the Missus. They
were two Buddies whom he had
known since Boyhood's Happy days
away back in Sleepy Hollow. Once
in a while the Man would have the
Two around to the House for
Dinner.
Of these Two Friends, one was
a Gusher and the other Grab.
The Gusher was eternally bub-
bling over with Compliments and
Kind Wishes. Whenever he met
an Acquaintance, he handed him a
rhetorical Yard of Daisies, and
then smeared him with Sweet
Endearments. His talk never had
any specific Purport. 1t was un-
adulterated Bunk. The Gusher
should have been in the Diplomatic
Service. One of his hot Specialties
was to get up at Dinner Parties
and propose Toasts. He would hot
air the Ladies until they flushed
Crimson from the Joy of being
hot-aired. Even if the Speech was
known to be cut-and-dried Cuff, it
never failed to sweet the Adorable
Creatures, as he called them.

highway robbery, and whom authorf.
ties of half dozen states had sought

police department with duplicate
photograph, declaring that company
detectives had trailed him for years,
and that he was the same man who
was wanted in Madison, Wis. for
breaking jail. They also informed the
department that his right name was
Alsheimer.
Nothing was known by Officials
