But it is being done. All on account of the Prince, of course. The windows of the sporting goods stores are blossom ing with oddly named, oddly colored, oddly shaped articles of wear.

 The comic artists have a weird in sight into the New York mentality. The first pictures of the Prince of Wales showed him an easy pose, one hand on his belt-line and his hat cooked ove- one ear. The following day the artists made use of it.
 We are an initiative people," they said.
 It seems incredible, but they were right. Manhattan is filled with young men now who cock their hats over one ear and pose one hand on the belt.
 Not long ago the despatches from Paris told of the new fad for monkeys. The Parisienne-at least, some Pari- siennes-go about with a monkey.

A score of astonishing little houris came in. All dressed alike Armless, low-necked, short-sl1irted, strapped pumps, hats modelled on half canteloupe.
 "All nice little girls" said the other fellow.
 They were, too. All nice, quiet-eyed modest little girls in most immodest lit tie dresses. Clerks and stenographers The new style from Paris has invaded Broadway and the dresses are longer and higher and have arms. Yet quite as revealatory. Soon the new style will reach the office buildings.
 Yet it is doubtful if the stockingless fad will go here. One sees, once in while, neat little bare legs flickering in and out under the legenthened skirts. The young women who brought the fad graduated from a sum street on the East Side not so many years ago. Now they are stage dancers. Their weekly income would top that of tic whole block where they were born.
 Their imitators seem bit uncom- fortable. New York is a dirty, sooty, blowy city and little bare legs take on most distressing appearance unless they are laundered at intervals. One has seen the same phenomena upon small boys. The stockinglcss fad is wet.

SIX CATS LIVING
: ON EACH CITY
BLOCK
Humane Society checck-up
Explains Lack of Rats
Here.

Cats have multiplied in Washing
ton during the past two years until
now, it is estimated there are six
cats for ecah city block. In some
neighborhoods the number of cats
has doubled during the past year.
These estimates are made by rep
esentatives Of humane societies who
have been checking up on cats and
dogs.
Some Of the finest cats in Amer.
lea are owned here. A number of
them might be classified among the
alien element for they spent their
kittenhood in foreign countries, and
were brought over by present
owners who succumbed to their
charms mad graces while abroad.
The statement is made there are
more beautifully striped tiger cats
In the District than in any other
section Of the country Of like area.
These cats seemingly show the
prevalence Of fine cat strain which
persists in forcing itself to the
front.
Many Of the tortoise shell cats
are declared to be as beautiful as
their pedigreed competitors for do.
nestle favors.
One reason given for the unusual
large number of cats in the city
is that thousands Of Government
workers who seek the companion
ship Of pets find It easier to keep
cat than dog.
"Cats may stray away for a day
but they always come back" is
the verdict expressed by humane
society workers who declare that
even when stolen they will return
to their old homes If given the
chance.
1t is also pointed out by them
that one does not see a cat that
appears to be underfed.
Even the stray kittens seems ia
pick up a good living in their
wanderings from one neighborhood
to another.
incidentally the presence of SC
many cats explains the absence OF
rats and mice in certain localities.
The assertion Is made that rarely
does one hear apartment house oc
cupants complain Of the presence
Of rodents. The Washington apart
ment house without it's corps OF
basement cats reinforced by little
units scattered among the occupants
Of the apartments, does not exist.
Cat lovers insist it is a mistake
to regard the cat as a disease car
rier because while cats trave
around more or less they rarely gC
any distance from their homes.
The real danger from carriers
they insist, is seen in the rats an(
the mice, which due to the presenc,
of so many cats in the city are KEEP
at the lowest minimum.

A demand that Senator George

close the identity Of United States
Senators alleged by him to be in
possession Of inside facts in the
Teapot Dome scandal was made
here today by Senator Tom Hef-
lin Of Alabama.
Moses is reported to have said
in a public statment that members
OF the Senate are becoming
round-shouldered carrying around
inside information in the oil scan
dals. He was quoted as saying
that he could name dozen Sena-
tors whose evidence would impli-
cate many other men of promi-
hence who thus far have escaped
the oily spatterings of the investi-
cation.
Heflin Wants Source.
Moses is chairman Of the Sena
committee that Is investigating
propaganda in this country and be-
cause OF that fact alone he should
not hesitate to tell the sources of
MS startling information, Heflin
said.

The menu for Monday is fairly
nice. Just a few hints about the
cooking processes will perhaps make
this days rations more palatable.
Don't use sugar on the grapefruit.
If you cannot down 1t plain, try
a little salt, and you'd be surprised.
II you can't drink the coffee
without sugar, try a half teaspoon
at first, gradually lessening the
amount until you have q mere hint
Of sugar and finally none at all.
For dinner, use as little. butter az
possible in preparing the vegetables,
and none at all on the steak. For
seasoning, use all the salt you wish,
some pepper and q generous dose
Of paprika II you like the flavor
found that paprika substituted
for a multitude Of flavors, especi-
ally butter. AS TAR as the desserts
are concerned, you need not stick
to fresh fruit, especially in the
case OF fresh peaches. Canned
peaches can't hurt you, provided
you do not use too much Of the
Juice. used an apple baked with
raisins instead Of sugar when
was confronted with an unseason-
able fruit, and it tasted very good.
AS to the tea without sugar. /
simply couldn't drink the stuff
plain. so put a weeny bit Of
sugar in just to kid myself along.
A mere eighth OF q teaspoon will
serve nicely. Really, there are
many little splurges you may allow
yourself, in this diet, by substitute
ing, as l will tell you later. But
dear ladies-use your very good
judgment, and on no account be
liberal with yourselves And never,
never, eat between meals.
And now:
There is a little exercise that
