The Washington times., 1921-06-05

our enemies in the war show so much
gratitude to him for sending them
becon and canned salmon and every
thing! And it's SO polite of them 70
put the Mr." in IL. I do hope 1t 10
nice street that he and all Americans
can be proud of. cause sometimes
think how mean IL must make Penn
sylvanians feel to ride up and down
some OF the blocks of the street here
in Washington named after their
state and notice all of the rundown
buildings and Chinese stores and old
hotels.
RENO DIvoRCEE STREET.
But I did not start in to say any
thing about Mr.. herbert Hoover
Strssse--you know, EN-, "strasss"
means street--but was just wonder
ing whether some day women will be
honored just that way here In Amer
thought about IL she said a woman
probably would have to be dead be-
fore q city'd DARE to name a street
for her, because now that divorces
are SO common women change their
names so often IL might be embsrrass-
ing. She said that In Paris they often
change the names of streets, but even
there IL Is inconvenient. Sometimes
think Auntie is a little bit cynical.
for she said that IL there was q Miss
Mary Smith strset and Miss Smith
married and they changed the street
to Mrs James Robinson Street and
then she divorced him and finally was
Mrs. Thomas Higgins. how would she
feel to know that the city council
wouldn't change again and so she
would always have to know that her
nrst husband was honored more than
her second husband7
Do you understand, Emmie! 1t
seems to be rather mixed up. but any
way IL seems like women aren't likely
soon to be as much honored as Score
ltary Hoover f.. Only would like to
think that some day when Cousin Jean
had done something nne for the
French there might be . Rue de Jean
Eliot.
I wonder IL some day we will have

did you know that his step daughter
was visiting here not long asor Yes

her name is Alma Howell and my
mother knew her mother years and
years ago in Atlanta when she was
just three years old. She 10 twenty
now and 10 perfectly lovely to look
at, Yama says she looks just like
her mother.
She visited Mr.. and Mrs Edgar
Prochnik here. and Emmie he Is an
Austrian and she is American ard
they SAY that he will be the charge

! And EN-, Alma has had the most
interesting life. She lives in Vienna
with her mother and stepfather, ana
during the war was in Enslsnd III
school, and couldn't get back home
She must have had a marvellous time
as she spent most of her week ends
with the Rothchilds--the wsalth'est
people in the world EN-, think Of IT.
Alrna's mother-Mrs Grunberg-i
think that's the name-spent several
years in Switzerland so Alma has
visited there a lot. She speaks with
q mixture of Austrian, American ana
Canadian accent. She says chAt the
Austrians are very charming. attrsc-

Americans. Doesn't that seem %
queer for anything. EN-, for them 20

never cared for the Germans.
guess that's the reason that they
named a street after Herbert Hoover
