WINTER
BY d. C. PEATTTE.

A city dweller may think he notices
the weather; he takes note of it, rather
That is, he looks up in the sky, guesses
it will shine, rain or snow, and reads
the weather prediction in the papers.
Only people who live in the country
really take note of the weather as a
part of their lives, and as part of
nature.
What difference does 1t make what
the weather Is, If the janitor keeps the
apartment building warm? If it SHOWS,
snow plow clears the streets; if it
rains you carry an umbrella.
But in the country day of rain
dominates not only the out-of doors,
but the indoors. too. Outdoor activities
are abandoned; men are at home,
around the kitchen fire; children are
indoors, set at rainy-day games. The
chestral accompaniment of every
thought and speech. In the same way a
fine day, even in Winter, will rapidly
turn the house inside out-at least it
turns everybody indoors out, and that
Is n very fine thing in itself.
Even in the country you never realize
what weather is until Winter comes. A
blizzard is an inconvenience in town: in
the country 1t is a bowling menace. The
mere problem of getting the simplest
things done, of keeping warm, Of keep
ing the water from congealing in the
pipes may be very exciting and absorb
ing for few hours or even days. All
this may be a very good reason for leav-
ing the farm and coming to steam
heated fiat; do not say it isn't. But ]
have noticed this about such a thing as
fighting the cold; you are SO busy just
making the requisite amount of animal
comfort that you have no time in which
to be unhappy, bored, worried or mis-
chievous. Indeed, a national calamity
like the sudden clamping down of WIN
try weather may bring out the best hui
manitarianism of people.
Once in a city apartment where was
staying, everybody was rather tired OF
everybody else, and we were at outs with
our neighbors across the hall. A bliz-
zard that CONCEALED even city heating
system suddenly made life intensely ex-
citing and even delightful; there was
laughter where there had been glum-
ness, and our neighbors came to the
door and asked us, since no groceries
could be delivered through the drifts, IL
they couldn't lend us something.

For Growing Hair.

The demand for special coiffures for
hair that is being allowed to grow has
been responsible for the designing of a
new type of hair dressing that differs
from the usual long-hair arrangements
as much as from the once modiSh bob.
Hair that is not long enough to wave
and arrange in a knot behind, but that
IS not short enough to hang straight or
in waves as in a bob, is now being co1led
into clusters of sculpture curlS" pinned
fat on the head. This type OF curl IS
made like an ordinary round curl and
then flattened and pinned down securely
20 resemble the curlS shown on the old
Greek and Roman statues. Great
latitude is allowed in the placing of the
groups of curlS. Sometimes they are set
at the back of the head, then again they
are seen on one side only or at the
crown of the head. Today have space
to describe only two of these coiffures.
Couture one-This coiffure is for hair
that is almost shoulder length. Part
the hair far over on the right Arrange
a small curl bang at the beginning of
the part. Put in three fat waves, one
over the crown Of the head. Make five
round curls out of the ends of the hair
on the left side of the head and pin
them fiat against the head on that side.
The smaller, right side of the hair IS
also waved and the ends made into two
or three of the sculpture curls. Bias
waves are put in across the back of the
head, running downward from left to
right. The ends of the back hair are
curled in ringlets and caught together
at the nape of the neck. This arrange
nent is especially becoming to the girl
with long, slender neck and small
hood

IAE GIRLS DANCE


Folks seemed to like it, and the opera
tors of large independent restaurants
were quick to seize upon the idea.
1t was but step farther to add
small dance floor where the diners
might fox-trot or bunny-hug an hour
away between nibbles. Thus. there
came into being an institution that has
acquired tremendous proportions and
popularity. OF course there are still
those who prefer food without a wall
ing saxophone or nimble feet flashing
about their tables.
One would not think so If he or she
will visit some of Washington's largest
restaurants. At the noon hour it is
difficult to find table.
On Saturdays the line forms on the
right. One half the dancing couples
on the floor are young women who, in
the absence of male escorts, make the
best OF the situation and lead or follow
each other.
So far we have heard no medical ex-
pert voice an opinion on the advan-
tage of dancing between bites and swal-
lows. The favorite waiter is no longer
called George" or Henry" He is
as impersonal as the soup spoon. In a
| way we regret his passing.

No wonder you have broken arches with

There are great many like you, who
stop getting weighed when they find
that they are gaining. Then they will
give their last-known weight for
months, or even years, after they weigh

curtains? 1t will not be much trouble,
as long as it is in the light of prepara-
ton for pleasure, to take them down
and plunge them in the tub. There is a
kind of lit to all that is undertaken in
this mood. Work seems less like work.
How smoothly it falls from the shoul-
ders!
Even the arrangement of furniture
may undergo change. How would it
look to try the sofa beneath the WIN
dow, a different combination of chairs
and table? If this were thought of,
apart from the fun to follow, one could
hardly be induced to pull and haul in
this manner. AS it is, the worker, be-
cause light hearted, is less tired. and
more jubilant at a successful result, be-
cause the beauty of it is to be shared
by others.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 5, 1S56.-At a meeting of
the board of directors of the Merchants
Exchange tonight a committee, con-
sisting of one member from each of the
city wards, was appointed and instruct
ed to urge upon the city councils the
necessity for the erection of a new
market house.
The propriety of petitioning Congress
for the right to sell the site of the pres
ent Center Market on Pennsylvania
avenue between Seventh and Ninth
streets, and locating this market farther
down upon Louisiana avenue was dis
cussed at length, as was a resolution
proposing the sale to the Federal Gov
ernment of the City Hall and Judiciary
Square. No definite action, however,
was taken on these points, and they will
probably occupy the attention of the
board of directors at its next or other
future meetings.
The following officers of the Mer-
chants Exchange were elected at last
nights meeting: President. Samuel
Bacon: vice president, James 3. Dodson:
secretary, John F.. Ellis; treasurer, Will
liam Hall; members Of the board of
directors Walter Harper, S. p Franklin,
T. j. Fisher, j. B. Claggett, A. E. Perry,
T. Parker, William F. Bayly, George
Burns, B. F. Morsell William B. Todd
Benjamin Beall and Hudson Taylor.
The supply of foodstuffs in all
branches of the Center Market is
abundant today. 1t includes not only
salted, smoked and fresh meat of various
kinds, but many varieties of game birds
and animals from the nearby sections of
Maryland and Virginia, and not q few
from the rivers, marshes and woodlands
of the District of Columbia.
Complaints have been made to the
police that gangs of young men and
boys frequently congregate in front of
dwellings of respectable citizens, using
profane and indecent language, and be-
having generally in an improper manner.
The chief of police, therefore. has
directed that thorough investigation
be made of the matter and that steps
be taken to stop such occurrences.
Already about 20 warrants have been
issued, it was announced today.
These cases will be speedily brought
to trial. The police declare that the
men arrested will be made to testify
under oath to what they know and not
complain without showing reason for it."

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

Of more interest perhaps to the
residents of the city than to the tour
lists or transitOry guests are the noon
day crowds that throng downtown res
taurantS. Only as long ago as the
first inauguration of President Wilson,
visitors on that occasion had difficulty
in finding enough food emporiums to
satisfy their hunger. Within the COM
paratively brief space of IS years, scores
OF restaurants. cafeterias, tearOoms
grills and coffee shoppes have sprung
up, not only in the business district, but
in the far reaches of the city.
On one side of q certain block on
Fourteenth street there are five places
catering to the appetites of persons re-
siding or working in the vicinity.
There was time when men sought
a quiet, secluded eating house where
their affairs might be discussed with
out disturbing noise. Usually they we're
acquainted with the proprietor, whose
name was Max or Gus. Fewer women
were engaged in business and the pat
ronage was largely masculine.
Times have changed since those late
Victorian days and women are respon-
sible. Innovations were conceived and
introduced to please the lady customers.

Artichoke Scum.

Take three dozen fresh artichokes,
peel them, then put them at once into
cold water. After they have stood for
few minutes, place them in sauce
pan with four onions, the outer sticks
of head of celery and three pints of
white stock. Let simmer gently for an
hour. Remove the onions and strain
the artichokes and the liquid through
a sieve. Put the puree back into the
saucepan, and when it is hot, stir in q
pint of hot cream or mixture of
cream and milk. Season the soup with
white pepper, salt, and a little nut
meg. Let it simmer for a minute or
two, then serve. Send to the table with
fried bread cut into small dice. This
quantity is sufficient for six persons.

Structure of the Skin.

Oh uCGuIC VI b1kC Hhlus
Perhaps if you understand more about
the skin, you will know better how to
treat it, Though if you keep it really
clean and let it breathe, you'll not do
badly!
The skin has a protective horny lay
er. against heat and cold, acids and
caustics; against the too rapid evapora-
ton of water from within, also, work
which is aided by the oily Secretions OF
the glands There is an elastic, tough
sort of layer, too, called the corium, to
act against shocks and injuries. This
they call the true skin" because it
contains the nerves, lymph, blood YES
sells, oil and sweat glands. And there
is a fat layer, on which the beauty and
freshness of the skin depend to large
extent. This is too much Simplified to
do more than give you a faint idea Of
your skin, but to it you must add thou
sands of little pipes running through
these layers, bringing up fat to lubri-
cate the skin, perspiration to take off
waste matter, helping out the kidneys
among other uses, blood to renew the
constant waste that the skin itself
throws off. 1t is all highly compli-
Gated and can liken it only to a COM
plicated plumbing system, where each
pipe must be kept free to do its work.
If the bowels, kidneys and liver do
not do their jobs, the skin tries to
throw off matter they are not dispoSing
of. A bad complexion results. If the
skin itself is clogged up with sticky
creams, or too much powder, or cosmet-
les that impede its normal action,
trouble results! Most creams are for
cleansing only and should be washed
Of, tonic lotions should never inter-
fere with the skins activity, powders
should be so fine they will not clog
the pores. Every night the skin should
be cleansed of all dirt or makeup, and
only cold-creamed if it feels dry.
Miriam-The way to improve a dry
skin is to get better activity of the
skin over the entire body. Daily warm
baths, cold showers with their health
full reactions, exercise that frees the
skin Of waste, all contribute to a nor.

Things to Cover in Leases.

When you note a deficiency in your
lease it is generally too late to do any,
thing about 1t. In some States tenants
are protected by law against unheated
apartments, or other unlivable condi-
tions. There should be in your lease,
however, clauses to protect you against
other risks.
Most leases are signed perfunctorily,
because they are printed forms. Even
these rent forms vary, however, and
the, half hour devoted to reading one
is amply repaid.
You my take an apartment that
faces on an empty lot or area. While
that space IS vacant you are assured OF
light and fresh air. Your lease may
run for three years, and within two
months some one may take a notion to
erect tall dwelling in the vacant let.
If this point is not covered in your
lease you may be forced to dwell in
stuffy darkness for the duration of the
lease There is generally no way OF
obtaining a release from the lease, nor
is there any way to obtain reduced
| rental.
Women leasing apartments on top
floors, or upper stories, should secure
positive assurance in their leases that
elevator service will be furnished con-
stantly. Failure to render such SER
! vice constitutes just cause to vacate.

dwellings the plumbing may be none
too good, and without pump handles
available, tenants may find themselves
without running water. Where neces-
sary this point should also be covered
When one moves into a new apart
ment or house, renovations are usually
made before one takes occupancy. If
the lease one takes is to run for any
considerable period--in fact, any period
beyond a year-provision should be
made for renovating, replastering and
redecorating every year or Is months,
or sooner if necessary.
If the woman intrusted with renting
the new home will examine lease forms
she will find she is required to fulfill
many conditions, but little is promised
by the landlord. 1t is up to her to
insert into the lease, which is nothing
but contract after all, all of the things
she wishes to be done and guaranteed
by the landlord. The old maxim,
"have it in writing" applies here.
