to make her an enhancing picture.
Her father, successfuI London
riding master, was not anxious for
his girl to take to a professional ca
Ireer, but Mary Frances pied SO
hard that he gave in.
She scored some minor successes
here in London and then acquaint-

Thither come all the worlds rich
moneyed afistocracies. They are
bored and dull and they seek new
anusements. Skilful dancers at
the gilded hotel places make good
money.
So the London miss blossomed
out suddenly as May Vivian. Mich

Enter now two more characters

heir to peerage, whose name has
been suppressed, ana Vincent sirel-

Italian.
He was about May Vivian's age.
He, too, was dar'cer. He courted
the girl, but he found the young
nobleman was his rival. He begged
the girl to marry him. She told
him he was silly. He remained
away from her and she thought
things were over and done with.

Fireproof Building for D. c.
Recorder of Deeds
By BILL PRICE.

The Senate has passed bill providing for fireproof
addition to the courthouse building in Judiciary Square, to
be used for housing the office Of recorder OF deeds OF the
District The bill carries appropriation Of $7S5OO0 for the
structure
There is no local need important than this one and
ct hoped that the House will not delay passage OF the
measure so that plans for the building may be drawn
and construction started at the earliest moment.
The Senate District Committee which favoraby reported
the BILL called attention to the fact that the recorder Of
deeds is housed in building that is not reproof and that
valuable records menaced by fire. These records
heretofore pointed out in this newspaper involve District
properties aggregang millions OF dollars Because Congress
has failed give the recorder of deeds proper equipment
and sufficient force the work Of the office behind almost
year. although conditions improving slightly Deeds to
property and deeds of trust filed there for prompt recording
not delivered to their for many months. The
force inadequate record them Should fire wipe out the
In the real estate field Of Washington.
Congress will step farther and provide the recorder
Of deeds with sufficient clerks and ypewrng machines to
facilitate the business Of his office there will be deep apprec
ton throughout this city.
The Treasury loses nothing by putting this office in modern
condition to transact the work belonging to it. is little
known that the office Of recorder Of deeds has turned into
the United States Treasury many thousands OF dollars Of
surplus money at the time sustaining itself without
appropriations from Congress
In years the surplus of has been considerable
In the last fiscal year. for example, the office deposited in the
Treasury $4,000 Of unexpended balance Right profitable
sort Of institution for Uncle SAM who expends nothing
gets dividend of $43000
This money is all paid in by Washington people, The fees
form Of taxation which not included in the various
taxes and assessments levied against them.
1t Will cost the Government nothing to give ample
clerical force and modern facilities for the transaction of the
public business there Since $685. thiyone years ago. the
office has failed each year produce unexpended
balance OF money for the Treasury
The public which pays this nest egg for Uncle Sam
ought to be given fair consideration.
