Quakers in Germany.

Work of the American Quakers Ia
Germany receives enthusiastic prais
from a writer in TOeuvre Parisl
who finds in the German chlldren
friendliness a denial Of 'hereditar:
hate" He says:
The Anglo-American Quakers haV
organized assistance in nearly all tn
countries which have suffered fror
the war: Poland, Austria, JugoslafE'
and even Russia. They have helped H.
the reconstruction of our villages IN
France, especially in the Yerdun DIS
trict. But their greatest EFFORT at th'
present time seems to be In Germany
Their central Office in Berlin IS the
head of these help organizations es-
tablished in 1897 different towns or
localities, chiefly in industrial cen

of less than eighteen years old. ana
nursing mothers with food imported
from America, which now amounts to
the value of eight million dollars.

activity and competence, was kind

1924.

This democratic inquiry comes out
Of the west: II the Harding adminis-
tration fails to make good. who Will
head the republican ticket in 1924?
A little previous, u 1t not? The
Harding administration has begun in
q business-liks way. Congress was
called at once to take up its burden
a very heavy burden. The President
buclrled to his work--to more work
probably than any Of his predecessors
faced at the start.
Congress IL plugging along with
many vexing problems on the card.
It Is not escaping criticism and prob.
ably did not expect to do 20. But It is
not stalled on any question. The com.
Ing three months should show some
very important business disposed Of.
The President has made q fine i'm.
precision on all. He is accessible, con.
ciliatory, patient, and Industrious. He
gives himself generously to his duties.
He borrows no trouble. He evades no
responsibilities. He shows full knowl.
edge of the situation from every angle.
Why, then.. speculate about failure
at this early stage Of the game? Why,
indeed, speculate at all when the id.
ministration IL only few months old7
But II speculation must be INDUCED,
why not ask thk question: II the ad.
ministration does make good, what
will the democratic nomination in 1894
be worth? Today only two men seem
to have their eyes on II, and to bs sup.
ported by organized work-Gov. Cox
and Mr.. McAdoo-and both are hang.

HEARD AND SEEN

One of the great hardships worked
upon visitors to the various govern
ment departments results from the
almost universal practice of officials
placing the chairs accorded guests in
positions directly facing windows.
Only those who have been SO seated.
waiting for some time. while staring
helplessly into a glaring light, can
appreciate just what this hardship is.
Then when audience Is obtained with
the official, the blinded visitor finds
light.
The reason for this is. of course,
that, the chief wants his own face in
shadow, SO that he may adequately
study the countenance Of his visitor.
Also, perhaps. by making the situa-
ton physically uncomfortable for his
guest. the latter may be induced to
cut his visit short.
If the present administration, how
ever, is really sincere in its efforts
to 'humaniza" it might generally
give q thought to this problem. as au-
dible criticism has been expressed OF
the arrangement by recent visitors to
departments.
What visitors characterize as par
ticularly bad case is that prevailing
in the office Of the first assistant post
master general, DIR. Hubert Work. As
head of the American Medical Asso-
citation, DR.. Work would soon realize
the situation if but once he would
assume the role Of visitor to his own
office.

room they are greeted by the glare OF

Decorate Tea Gowns
With Hand Paintings

"a novel idea for a tea gown is
to have the designs hand painted on
the silk to match those used in the
decoration of the boudoir."
No, this is not the wild imagining
of an over-worked mind belonging
to the writer, but the direct quota
ton from a leading fashion journal.
And yet when one stops to con-
slider there are possibilities. If you
live in Greenwich Village and hap
pen to paint futurist pictures, think
what tea gown you might own.
Again if you are surrounded with
the filthy lucre of this realm and
have all sorts of ivory and gold and
crushed rose decorations in your
boudoir, it wouldn't be any trouble
at all to call in some famous artist
and order him to paint you up tea
gown that would put you in har-
mony with the decorations.
But if you are just plain work
ing girl with hall bedroom for
boudoir, with a gas plate and a sani-
tary lounge for adornment-well,
what's the use-just any kind of a
muslin nightgown would match up
with the rest of the interior decora-
tions.

Qui Vive Club Has History
Behind It.

The Qui Vive Dancing club will
hold dance Saturday night at the
Blackstone. 1t is the third OF the
season.
The club was founded over 20
years ago under the name OF the
Southwest Dress club, arising from
the fact that full dress was required
and that its members lived in the
Hanscom park region. So many Of
the members attended the St. Marys
Avenue Congregational church that
it was sometimes facetiously referred
to as the Church Dancing club.
Their dances were held in the Court
ney building on Seventeenth and
Douglas streets. The first president
was George Payne. Other early
presidents were R. D. Dining,
Charles Black, ]. L. Baker. N. I.
Peters, Jay Foster and M. c. Funk
hauser.
When the Chambers Dancing
academy was opened the club
moved there for its dances. A NUM-
Der OF new people of a younger set
joined and changed the name to Qul
Viyc. Later they moved to Turpins,
and for the last three years they
have been using the Blackstone ball
room for their weekly dances. More
recent presidents have been Harry
Weller. ]. K. Thompson, Howard
Shin, S. ]. Jumper, Frank Manches-
ter, and this year, E. E. Stanheld.
Mary Garden, the general director
of the Chicago Opera ASSOCIATION,
was born in Scotland, but came to
