The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

The average citizen is far more IA
miliar with the history and records of
base ball players than with the careers
of great singers. Most men can give
one a brief, if somewhat inaccurate,
sketch of the accomplishments of Babe
Ruth. Goose Goslin, Jack Dempsey or
Bobby Jones. Others know how Mary
Pickford and many famous screen
players arose from obscurity to star
dom. Comparatively few. save those
who are directly interested, can say
whether Anna Case is soprano or con-
tralto. whether Rosa PonZelle possesses
high voice or low voice or one of
middle range. Is she lyric soprano or
a colOratura soprano? Perhaps she is
a dramatic soprano? All those who
can answer the questions, please raise
their hands. All right, the two OF you
may lower your arms.
We do not mean to inSinuate that
the reader is dense who Is unable to
reply intelligently, but it may prove to
one who is honest with himself that
most singers, except for their names,
are unknown to the public.
A young woman sings in church
choir. Her voice has a naturally beau

The girl acquires physical grace and

in musical show, devoting her leisure
to constant study. Finally she goes
abroad, where. after rigorous training,

tie rustling sound on the dead leaves.
There it was again! 1t sounded louder.
Something hit brown leaf right at
Jumpers feet. He gave little Jump
for ioy, It was little round grain OF
snow. It wasn't a nice. soft flake, but
one of those little hard grains, which
usually mean a real snow-storm. Faster
and faster those little grains came sift-
ing down through the trees. Louder
and louder they ratified on the dry
leaves. Jumper was happy. 1t was the
first snow-storm of the season. With
that kind of snow it promised to be a
bad storm. But Jumper didn't care.
No, sir, he didn't care how bad that
storm might be- When it was over
everything would be all white, and then
it would be ever so much easier for
him to live.
Jumper went roaming along through
the Green Forest quite regardless OF the
snow. The wind blew, the snow fell
and Jumper was really happy. Finally,
however, the storm got SO bad that even
Jumper had to seek shelter. Yes, sir,
he had to seek shelter That storm was
too much for even Jumper.
He was at this time deep In the
Green Forest. Near at hand was great

ply where a lot of trees have been
blown down into a great pile. There
was an opening on one side Of that
windfall. Jumper crept just inside.
There he sat, looking out. He knew all
about that windfall No one had lived
there all Summer, nor all the Fall.
Once Buster Bear had lived there. but
Buster Bear was no longer in the Green
Forest. Or, if he was he had gone to
sleep At least, that was what Jumper
was quite sure Of You see, Jumper had
not been able to find any traces OF
Buster for a long time.
This is a perfectly good place to
stay until this storms over" thought
Jumper I'm warm and comfortable,
and there won't be anybody stirring for
me to fear There won't be anybody
stirring until after this storm is over.
Every one will get under cover and stay
there. I believe I'll take nap"
So Jumper laid his long ears back,
closed his eyes. and in few seconds
was asleep Above the old windfall
Rough Brother North Wind howled and
the snow fell in clouds which Rough
Brother North Wind drove before him
all through the Green Forest and over
the Green Meadows. 1t was a bad
storm. 1t was a very bad storm. At
least, that is what Farmer Browns boy
said.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December 21.-
Motion picture stars wear the chic avla-
tion costumes of the day. Air lane
travel is popular with Hollywood pro-
feSsionalS, who are always more or less
pressed for time. Local designers have
developed the mode in a number of
smart colorS. The cut is as Snappy as
a we'll done riding habit.
Clara Bow few North to several of
the foot ball games. She wore blue
leather helmet. coat and breecheS. The
coat, which had g slight flare to the
skirt. was belted snugly at the normal
waist line. The helmet and breeches
were made of the Softest dull glazed
kid. almost as plant as broadcloth.
Beneath the brilliant blue helmet few
stray locks of Claras bright-red hair
lent a futuristic touch.
Popularity can have its drawbacks
When Clara tried dancing in a down.
town hotel in San Francisco she was
swamped by college boys, who sur
rounded her, begging for dances. There
were SO many that she would have been
there yet if she hadn't made a clever
escape.
Which is one reason why so many
novelties never dance in public.
Bebe Daniels goes in for air travel,
choosing flights as long as Los Angeles
to New York. She wears brown leather,
very suitable to her brunette coloring.
One of the most startling Hollywood
aviation costumes was of ivory suede
trimmed in dull black kid, and knee
boots Of patent leather. The lady was
slim, with raven-black hair and dark
eyes. 1t was one OF the Hollywood
parties where all the guests arrive by
plane for a novelty" Aviation is good
to bring up the blood pressure.

Try to bolster up your whiting sense
of humor by the thought that the cellu-
loid strip has to be new. But the tur-
ban and sword and Arabian pluS-fours
were probably worn by Valentino or
some of his contemporaries when Sheik-

Forrest Halsey Is one Hollywood man
with a good word for the censor He
thinks the bete-noir of the movies has
done much to stimulate resource and
develop subtlety in writer's and pro-
ducers

This makes for clevernesS right away.
For another thing, suicides, limited at
as they are, are far more telling than
the crude commitment of the deed.
The audience and the writer benefit by
the writer having to rack his brain to
give the beholder the half truth. which
is far more valuable to drama than the
whole truth.
Half truth is often far more valuable
for getting out of tight place, too.
But the censor didn't teach Hollywood
this.
Change is the order Of the day in
Hollywood. One studio dismissed 16
employees. And they were not electri-
clans and carpenters, either.
Another large organization has given
strong hints that great many of its
contract players who have been with
the company many years will not be
"optioned" when the time comes.
A leading producer has advised "cau-

technique of the past

cially chosen to harmonic with the
pajamas. The fashion for wearing just
one earring was set by women who had
lost one of pair of earrings and
wanted to go on wearing the odd one
that remained That couldn't have
happened in the good old days when
ears were pierced and earrings simply
couldn't drop off the way they some
times do today.
There was some talk about revival
of the fashion for pierced ears few
months ago, and certain well known
women of fashion. mostly French, were
spoken of as having submitted to the
piercing operation so that they
could wear earrings set with valuable
precious stones without anxiety But
most women, I think, had rather wear
less valuable earrings and keep their
ear lobeS intact.

her great aunt that she (the great
