New Ma drillOn
Restaurant Is
Ready

Washington is soon to have one
Of Americas smartest restaurants.
The new restaurant Madrillon, in
the Washington Building at the
corner of Fifteenth and New York
Avenue, will make it's formal bow
to the public on December Is.
Peter Borras' newest eating rem
devious is larger than the present
Restaurant Madrillon and Spanish
Village. Moreover, it is of un-
usual design. There's really four
restaurants in one. There is the
Spanish Village, the Mayor room.
the Moorish room and the Caliph's
room, not to forget the entrance
lobby, which is decorated in Mex
lean Aztec style. On entering the
Aztec lobby one will see in an at.
tractive showcase examples of the
artistic pastry that Clement pro-
Vides for his guests. The cigar
stand and cloak room will be set
In niche convenient and yet just
beyond the general picture OF
charm that the other rooms pro-
vide.
To the right is the Magyar room,
decorated in the art of early Gen.
trail America. This room is to
supply the business man an ideal
place for luncheon, and will prob
ably fill the want that has been
felt since the passing of the old
Shoreham Grill. For during the
luncheon period the Mayan room
will be for men only" After
luncheon the Magyar room will be
used for private banquets and
supper parties.

childhood in acrobatics. Johnny's
father, in his youth and young
manhood, was a member of Hang

which the Dooley family came
nearly 40 years ago. Dooley, ST.,

After Dooley, sr. quit the circus

The family was then living in
Philadelphia, where l. does today.
The sea had an inherent appeal for
Johnny when he wars boy. He
often begged his father to take
him with him on one of the
cruises, but Dooley, ST., would not
hear of it. Once Dooley, jr. slowed
himself away on his fathers ship.
The elder Dooley was then chief
steward Great was the fracas
when Johnny was discovered.
Finally he was put to work on the
vessel, and for three years he
sailed the seas, raising himself
from mess boy to chief steward
and purser.
Later Dooley went to work in a
Philadelphia shipyard, and for a
time he followed the trade of a
shipbuilder. He tells with pride
how he helped construct the Fin

 It seems that the trapper had put in long and hard winter on che 1 trap-line but the fruits of his toil were practically nil, all because of gule luseus. or earajou.

 sNothin but a durned old vol Yerine, replied bystander as he crunehed FIelOusly al q slab of to- baeco.
 As soon as the trapper saw the ] tracks ot the wolverine on his do- main he knew what to expect. The farminl hung around all winter, l trailing the trapper wherever he went. No sooner did the man set trap and go away than the vol yerine came and sprung it. Some times he tore the trap from it's fastening and hid it in some other place. Always 1t scratched and paved to show it's contempt for the trdpper. Whenever the man killed meat and cached it in the trees along came the wolverine to tear it down and drag 1t off.
 This went on for some time and so dlabolfcal was the cunning and persistence of the marauder, the trapper decided to pull up stakes and look for new territory.
 Then he caught the critter in a trap that he had set near meat cache
 Well, you said the trap per. For time he was undecided what to do. Came a flash of inspi- ration. lie decided Co tram the wolverine as a pack animal and make 1t work for him. Dogs carry packs-why not a wolverine? Lau- aaDle ambition!

 Very well,a said the man, take that-and that and that
 This made the wolverine sore and it was more spiteful than ever. The trapper lost his temper also. For a time the fur flew and the mans clothing suffered according ly.
