 Can she wear an evening gown without a back?
 Mercy, no.
 Can she powder her nose in pub lie?
 Very poor taste.
 The girls voted strongly in favor of knickers in place of flashy evening gowns. And they approved skirts that came to about the center of the calf.
 As to the fit of garments they must beloose. Skin tight effects arc absolutely taboo.

| Big Boom in
d.. .C.BuiLding
By BILL PRICE.

The great boom in building oper-
ations in the District should be, and
is, the most inspiring evidence to
every Washingtonian that this city
is going forward by huge leaps, un-
deferred by pessimistic conjecture,
bent upon solving it's own housing
problems, and unswerving in the
belief that no other city in America
has the future of the Federal Cap
ital. ~ ~..
1t is probable that figures pre-
sented below break all records in
the United States-population COM
pared-and we present them as in
centives to those live-wire Washing
tonians whose faith in their city is
adamant. TIL.
The figures are for building oper-
ations in the District for the months
of March, April, May and June Of
1921 and 1922, and are for permits
issued by the Building Inspectors s
office: ... ..
Value of permits, 1922. s17,s6s.7s2;
1921, $S,209,922. T., @. '.-
= Increase this year over last, $s,656, $50.
Permits issued, 1922, 1923; 1921, 3,611.
Increase. 912.
Permits for, apartments. 1922, 20;
1921, "a.
Permits for dwellings. 1922. 1,14s;
1921. SGT. ..-...- ....
The permits for apartments, it
will be noticed, are five in excess Of
last year, and the increase in per-
mits for dwellings is 622. The in
crease in the value of apartment
permits is $4,344,O0 - ..
Aside from the pride these fig
ures will arouse, is immense salts
faction in the huge increase in the
erection Of dwelling houses. That
means that, our housing problems
will soon be past us. 1t means, too,
city Of home dwellers, as it has
always been.
We ventured the prediction some
time ago that in another year the
Rent Commission would be USE
less establishment, and the building
operations now in progress would
indicate that the prophecy is becom-
ing reality.
The Nations Capital has not been
getting the square treatment from
Congress it is entitled to, but Con-
gress will again become alive to the
realization that Washington is the
Capital City of the worlds greatest
nation, and that as such it should
receive the most liberal treatment
in the way of Federal aid toward
making it the outstanding city Of
the world in beauty and attractive
ness to the people of this nation
and Of other nations who come here.
The people Of the United States
have profound pride in their Capt.
tai and are not in agreement with
the parsimonous methods Congress
has pursued for several years.
The nation will not stand for any
thing which minimizes their Federal
Capital or retards its progress to-
ward further beauty and grandeur.
Every citizen of this city who in
vests his money in real estate or in
a home has the assurance that as
his nation becomes greater it's Cap
ital City will also go forward. Sound
investment in Washington real
estate is the best investment any
body can make
