SPRING SUITS
FOR MEN
Furnishings Should Be
Harmonized, Says
Times Expert
By WILMA LA VILE

by WILMA LA WILLIE
CPRING is now far enough
~ advanced that we can speak
with a good deal of authority
of mems fashions, Of what will
be most popular. and Of what
the best dressed men will wear.
Many men have already
purchased suits and furnish.
ings. Others viii do so in the
next week or so, and we hope
these hints viii be helpful to
them.
In the matter Of suits, gray
seems to be the leading color,
with the brown and tan range
next, and blue third. In Wash.
ington, small-patterned weaves
are now leading, with plain
colorS a close second, and stripes
of least Importance. WorSteds
in smooth or unfinished effects
are best, and tweeds are
popular.
The gray that is smart is a
very becoming tone with an
overcast Of another color such
as blue. that makes it softer,
warmer and more wearable.
The best brown and tans seem
to be slightly grayed, so that
they are easy to wear. Powder
blue, which is more gray-blue
is expected to come in for
some summer favor.
When it comes to types,
there's a sharp division between
the preference Of the business
man and the younger man, in
college or just out. The busi-
ness man prefers the two-button
single breasted suit with a
semi-form-fitting coat. It has
regular shoulders and notched
lapelS. The vest is single
breasted, and the trousers 18'
inches at the bottom.
The young man wears a two
button suit, form-fitting, with
extended shoulders and notched
lapels. 1t has trousers 1912
inches about the bottom. Or,
if he is more conservative, he
sometimes chooses the same
suit with regular shoulders and
18E2-inch trousers.
There's O. tendency among
men to wear their clothes a
little more fitted, and to pay
more attention to the matching
or harmonizing of furnishings.
It's best to wear a gray hat
with gray or blue suit, and
shirts and ties In harTnonizing
colorS, never introducing more
than two color ranges in the
costume.
This information comes to IS
through the courtesy of the
style committee of the National
Association of Retail ClothierS
and furnisherS. and has the
further criticism of local
authority, so we feel that it is
authentic. The sketches are
from a Washington store.

CALLING THE COPS

seldom go to the police complain
ing of my neighbours deeds, for would
rather be at peace, and hoe my beans
and pull my weeds. A neighbor always
takes it hard if you should have him
led to court, and he'll use language by
the yard, and say you are a tinhorn
sport. And he will watch you night
and day, and when you dent some
trifiing law he'll call the cops in right
away, and quite fine you'll likely draw
AND so a bitter feud begins, without
pinched for divers sins; you have him
pinched for cutting loose. The feud
embitters both your lives; it grows more
vulgar and intense, End it's protracted
by your wives, Who wrangle DER the
backyard fence Perhaps they spoil
each others hats, perhaps they claw
each others hair, the while the children
throw dead cats, and there is turmoil
everywhere. My neighbors' hens cause
me distress; they make my garden seem
wreck, and there are moments, con-
fess, when / get sore and call on Heck.
And am tempted, now and then, to
tell the peelers of my woe when some
old sway-backed Dorking hen comes
over, scratching to and fro. But calm
reflection makes me see that such a
course would do no good; far better
lose a bean or pea than jar a quiet
neighborhood. Far better lose my sue
cotash than threaten men with cells
and jails, and call the coppers in and
smash the balrny peace that now pre-
walls. Along my garden paths brood,
and view the ruined beds with tears.
but decline to start feud that may
endure for many years.

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

August 25, 1S14.-A tornado struck
the Federal metropolis today, the sec
ond after the coming of the British I'M
der Gen. Ross 1t did considerable dam
age all over the District Of Columbia,
tearing off the roofs of houses and de-
stroying chimneys.
Whether that is the reason or whether
they had made up their minds that
they had stayed long enough IN this
part of the country, the British SOL
diers this evening, leaving their camp
fires burning in the eastern section of
the city, where they had been encamped
since the invasion yesterday. marched
out of the city again to Bladensburg
where they had defeated the American
forces the day before.
The British left some of their wound
ed at Bladensburg in the care of Amer
lean citizens. and proceeded rapidly to-
ward their ships at Benedict on the
Patuxent River. They lost no time in
re-embarking.
The American military authorities
believe that Gen. Ross, having accom-
plished his purpose to "chastise" the
Americans by burning some of the
buildings in the Capital City. believed
tnat military caution required tnat ne
move away from the vicinity of the
Federal City as soon thereafter as pos
sible
The American troops after the Bat
tie of Bladensburg fed through the
city for the most part. although some
went directly west, and encamped in
the vicinity of Georgetown. President
Madison and all Government officials
hurriedly left the CITY, taking away as
many of the Government papers as they
could
The force of Gen. Ross was not more
than about 5000 men, and it is thought
that he did not care to risk their re-
naming so far from their transports, for
in a few days the Americans might have
been able to gather sufficient militia to
make his stay here very uncomfortable.
Furthermore, it is understood that his
orders were merely for a retaliatory ac-
ton and did not contemplate the hold
ing of the city.
He left behind him 81 dead British
soldiers, killed at the Battle of Bladens-
burg, and a part of his 1875 wounded
men. The total number of Americans
reported killed was 26 and the wound
ed were 81.

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE,
Celery Is Tempting.

Celery is good at any time of year
That is one of its best qualities, per-
haps-that it is available for so many
of the IL months.
In Winter it is delicious as one of
the crispest of our vegetables. In Sum-
mer that same crispness makes 1t a
welcome addition to any salad, or to
any meal.
Stalk celery is just as tempting. if
it is good, in Summer as in Winter.
The point is that often celery that
would seem little green for serving as
it is works into a salad very nicely.
A delicious appetizer for a hot Sum-
mer evening is made of a thin round
of hot buttered toast topped by thick
round of tomato. topped by a spoonful
of mavonnaise thickly mixed with
chopped celery, onion and green or red
pepper.
Sauted celery is made in this way
and is delicious with roast or broiled
chicken: Soak the celery foc half
hour, then boil for five minutes in
salted water and drain. Cut into pieces
an inch long and brown in butter in
skillet or frying pan. It should be
golden brown on all sides. Then drain
on paper and serve very hot.
Celery relish may be made as you
wish it. Chop two hearts of celery fine
and add a chopped sweet green pepper,
chopped pimento and pepper, pap
rika and a little celery salt. Cover
barely with mild vinegar and let stand
for five hours. If YOU want, you may
drain off the vinegar, add some of the
chopped mixture to mayonnaise and
serve on salads.
Stewed cabbage and celery are pre-
pared by soaking the Cabbage for a
half hour in salt water, then shredding
it and slicing a stalk or two of celery.
then boiling for about a half hour to-
gether in slightly sailed water. Serve
with cream sauce.

When he set out for Naples Edward
A. Goodall, the distinguished English
artist-fellow of the Royal Society of
Painters in Water Colors. London-an-
ticipated delightful sketching tour in
Italy. Instead he encountered only
tragedy, and the circumstances in con-
nection Herewith were of the strangest,
most inexplicable nature.
1t was Midsummer when he arrived
at Naples and he found the heat of the
city unbearable. He decided to join
hundreds of others who were starting
out for Ischia, an island in the Bay Of
Naples, where relief from torrid con-
ditions always is obtainable.
A steamer took him to Casamicciola.
on the coast, and after night there
he walked next morning to Ischia, the
islands principal town. There he found
better quarters than Casamicciola had
afforded, with the result that he went
back for his luggage. He returned
riding a donkey. The animals master
walked beside them carrying the little
luggage Goodall had brought with him,
including small sketching kit.
The ride was delightful, the scenery
was beautiful and the donkey, a fine,
big animal, was sure-footed and easy
of gait.
The journey was completed in good
order. They arrived at the hotel the
artist had selected Goodan was sit
ting perfectly still talking to his land
ladv Then, all of sudden, the donkey
went down on his knees as if he had
been shot. The artist was flung over
his head upon the lava paving. His
right hand, with which he had expected
to spread his colors so enjoyably, was
badly hurt. A doctor assured him no
bones were broken. but that perfect rest
was essential. He put his arm in a
sling.
The succeeding days were spent in
dull inaction. No English books or
newspapers were obtainable and he had
not provided for the forwarding of his
mail, expecting that he would return
speedily to Naples.
It was on the fourth night, perhaps

Red6y Fox is patient fellow. He is
an exceedingly patient fellow when he
has something to gain by being patient.
Just now he lay hidden by the old
stone wall on the edge of the Old Or
chard, hoping that Impy the black
Chipmunk would show himself. 1t was
partly curiosity that had brought Reddy
there. He had heard of that black
Chipmunk and he was anxious to see
him. At the sar-e time, he hoped that
he would be able to catch Impy.
Reddy kept his eyes on the old stone
wall in the direction of Striped Chip
hunks home. You see, he knew where
Striped Chipmunk was in the habit of
disappearing between the stones of the
old wall to reach his home down under
meath and he felt sure that the black
Chipmunk was living in the same place.
For a long time nothing happened
Then he saw the head of Striped Chip
munk pop up from behind big stone.
A moment later Striped Chipmunk was
sitting up on that stone. Reddy hoped
that Striped Chipmunk would come in
his direction. He wanted to see that
black Chipmunk, but he wouldn't miss

I ought to be able to find it."
So Reddy got to his feet and, as he
did so, he looked back in the direction
of the Green Forest-the direction from
which he had come. His heart gave o
little leap. He had caught glimpse OF
something black. 1t was only glimpse,
but he was sure that what he had seen
was black. Very, very carefully Reddy
began to steal forward. With each step
he stopped to look and listen. Little by
little he moved along. He had not seen
that black thing again. He was sure
that it was Impy and that Impy had
simply disappeared between the stones
somewhere. When he reached the place
where he thought he had seen it, he
stopped. and there he crouched ready
to spring.
At last his patience was rewarded. He
heard that faintest Of sounds-nothing
more than the rustic of leaf And
then he saw something small and black
as black as the blacklist thing he had
ever seen. 1t appeared for an instant
from between two stones of the old
wall and then disappeared. Reddy took
two steps forward and crouched ready
to spring. He waited, holding his
breath. Once more it appeared and
Reddy sprang as only Reddy can. He
felt sure that he would have Impy the
black Chipmunk as a reward for pa
thence. An instant later Reddy dis
covered that he had made a slight
mistake.

after midnight. that he was awakened
1t seemed to him, by the sound of his
own voice. He was saying, II know
have lest my dearest little May"
Hcrror-stricken, he heard another
voice, which he did not recognize, re-
ply, mo, not May, but your youngest
boy"
Apparently it was all a dream, but
he could not recollect anything that
preceded the sounding of his voice. De-
preston and anxiety seized him at
once. He was unable to go to sleep
again. At daybreak he got up and
fastened to send a telegram to the
postmaster at Naples, asking that his
mail be forwarded to him.
The very next boat brought him two
letters from home. The first told him
that Percy, his youngest son, was seri-
ously ILL., The second brought the news
that the child had died.
Subsequent investigation revealed
that death had come at approximately
the same moment in which Goodall
had been thrown by the donkeys fall
in front of the hotel. The artist be-
lieved ever after that the animal was
struck down through fear at some ap-
partition of the dying child. There was
no other explanation, as it got up again
perfectly well.
When Gcodall had left home his
whole family was in the best of health
There was no necessity for him to be
anxious about either his daughter May
or his boy Percy.
For several nights prior to receiving
the letter containing the news of
Percy's death he had been wretched
He had been inclined to blame this
condition on his injured hand and his
inability to continue his sketching tour

Upper Arms.


An upper arm which is fiabby and
unattractive seems to cause no little
concern among our readers. 1t is not
strange that this part Of the body
should become flabby and overfieshy, as
1t gets very little exercise. In order to
improve the condition and make the
upper arms firm and lovely it is quite
necessary that milady take some very
definite exercises, and as massage is
also very important part of any re-
duction program that, too, will be con-
sidered.
The following exercises will help
keep muscles of the upper arms supple
and beautiful: % Stand erect with
both arms stretched over your head.
