Well Dressed Woman Shows
Chevy Chase Courage
OF Pioneers.

I was q child when one Of the
Gulf States sent to Washington 4
Senator whose family had lived in
what We termed the ~backwoods"
county. His family would walk
services, the roads were not always
in the best condition for walking.
Each member carried his shoes and
stockings in his hands until he
neared the meeting" house. when
they all sat down by the road side
and put on their footwear and
marched braveiy into the church
II was during one OF the heavy
rainfalls that occurred recently that
this incident took place. Boarding
a Chevy Chase car near the corner
Of the government building IN
which I was employed I had the
opportunity OF watching the crowd
get on at all the stops, and also 60
see them gradually leave the car as
Il neared Chevy Chase Circle. some
were prepared with umbrellas. some
were not.
AZ we passed the circle I noticed
that a very elegant dressed woman
was still seated opposite me- Know
ing the condition Of the sidewalks
i wondered II she would not return
TO the city rather than risk running
her beautiful shoes in the mud.
When I left the car she also stepped
to the sidewalk.
The pavements was very short
and I disliked the idea Of seeing
those dainty grey kids with hose to
match wading through the mud. As
IL in answer to my thought. she
replied, "and shall not do SO. "
handing her bag and bundle to me.
she balanced herself on one foot
and deliberately removed her shoes
and stockings. Laughingly she re-
marked, they are all right now"
Taking her bag and package and
thanking me with a graceful ''au
revoir." she raised her skirts above
the danger line and marched cour.
ageously through the mud.

Methods of Thieves.

Last Thursday evening at about
10 o'clock two small automobiles
stopped at the intersection OF
Eleventh and o streets northwest.
After standing for a short time
a large automobile came up from
the north on Eleventh street. The
parties in these machines quickly
exchanged places and drove away
in various directions. There would
seem to be nothing unusual about
this. but It illustrates the methods
of thieves. The parties m the large
automobile had just entered a store
at the corner OF Eleventh and P
streets. covered the proprietor with
a gun and robbed the cash register.
The meeting at o street had doubt
less been prearranged. and evident
ly the exchange Of machines was
for the purpose OF preventing
Identification.
