The Sidewalks of Washington
By THORNTON FISHER.

Suddenly the bellhop saw great
light and laughed loudly. "Oh, you
tried to get into the room on the floor
below. that correspondent with the loca-
ton of your own" he said.
The travelling man slipped the boy
a greenback and told him to run along
and forget 1t.
An observing hotel man says that
most people are creatures of ingrained
habit. "Our older guests are more par
ticular than the young folks. Some Of
our guests have patronized this hotel
for 20 years and in most cases request
room which they have occupied be-
fore. They even seek their favorite
walters. This often causes confusion,
for frequently the room they demand
is already occupied by some one. We
cannot move the occupant to another
room and have to do the best we can
to provide a room similar to the one
they desire. The younger people do not
seem to be so particular. Any room is
all right with them, just so long as 1t
has all the conveniences."
A reader says that the oldest man he
ever heard Of lived to be 143 years old
and resided in North Carolina. Ac-
cording to our informant, "he survived

Children In our schools receive intel

common to test the brains OF their
elders BY asking questions and rating
the one who submits to an examination
according to time and accuracy; The
following may be accepted as typical OF
some OF the questions. Place the letter
N before the proper answer. There Is
no reason why one shouldn't place E

Tastes i'm Artificial Flowers
BY MARY MARSHALL.

effectiveness of the ensemble, realizing
that to wear such ornament simply on
general principles does not make fol-
clever dressing.
The wise woman realizes that artifi-
cial flowers at best are fragile, knowing
/ that the flower or flower cluster on q
frock will surely have to be replaced by
| fresh one before the dress has been
worn many times. There Is nothing
| that so effectively ruins the appearance
of any ensemble as flower that is q
bit soiled or bedraggled.
If you have recently whiled away any
| of YOUR precious time at fashion shows
where mannequins display the seasons
newest frocks and wraps, you may have
been impressed, as so many other
women have been of late, by the fact
that mannequins are walking so much
more rapidly than they used to-.
Even the amateur manneQuinS who
lend their services to benefit fashion
shows have caught this new speed from
the professionals. The old-time Ian
guild gait has disappeared, and brides
maids and brides seem to hasten their
PAGES as they walk toward the altar to
the quickened strains of the wedding
march.
The reason for this, I. am told, is
that the new fluid line" in clothes with
airy draperies of chiffon and georgette
and tulle really demand this more rapid
stride. Drapery nowadays must hutter
not hang languidly and Imply.
This weeks circular am sure you
will find helpful, because 1t tells how to
make fringe, and when you compare the
price of made fringe and silk needed to
make it am sure you will like to know
how to make it. With this is sketch
of a new fringed skirt. with fringe
hanging from a deep hip yoke, and di-
rectionS for making this, as well as the
fringe. If you will send me your
stamped, self addressed envelope will
send you copy.

Mae Murray is surviving the Holly
wood revolution with her customary
good fortune.
She has just received contract for
$500 week. In this day pictures are
advertised as bigger and better, but
salaries, as any star can tell you, are
apt to become smaller and smaller.
Mae Murray has been in the game a
long time. Disagreeable people with a
penchant for remembering ages credit
Mae with quite number of Summers.
But she has preserved her girlish fig
ure and a certain element for the public

My Neighbor Says:

After your cellar has its Spring
cleaning, whiten the walls and
you viii have q much brighter,
cleaner cellar.
Paint piazza chairs now, so that
they may be thoroughly dried
when you wish to use them.
If shoes do not polish readily,
give them two coats Of backing;
let this dry before putting on
third coat, then polish and you
will get a good shine.
When choosing draperies and
chair coverings, remember any
thing bright in coloring may be
chosen for cold weather, but for
Summer too much coloring should
be avoided and only cool-looking
tones chosen. A creamy back
ground splashed with punches OF
purple lilac in the natural color
ingS made into furniture covers
will be cool looking without being
dismal. Gray and green are
another happy combination.
