A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
By HERBERT PLUMMER.

One friendly observer wrote In his de-
tense at the time:
IF Lord Lyndhurst could remain an
acceptable chancellor Of England at IS,
we are entitled to hope that Judge
Oliver Wendell Homes may uSefully sit
in our highest tribunal Of justice for
at least IS years."
Fifteen years! He has been there 20
and shows little signs Of failing. He Is
still the most wide-awake man on the
bench. No one follows argument Of
counsel more closely than he. No mem
Der Of the court takes such copious
notes.
Habitues Of the court listen intently

not only holds up his portion OF the

One hour each day he devotes to his

This consists in playing q highly COM

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER.
ALI Year Cleaning.

Thank fortune in most American
homes there Is no excuse for the sort
Of Spring housekeeping that used to
make a house wellnigh uninhabitable
for week or more. The fact Is that
your whole Spring housekeeping may
be eliminated II you wish to adopt the
plan Of doing it In easy stages instead
Most emphatically, this Is pleasanter
way, as far as the misunderstanding
members of the family are concerned.
And the housekeeper and her helpers
feel less intense fatigue at any one
time.
OF course, with this method there is
not the satisfaction Of feeling some
morning in May, as you wake up stiff
and much exhausted. but very, very
much content. that your whole house is
perfectly clean, that you have finished
the whole miserable business and that
you can now sit back with an easy con-
science, knowing that not o cobweb or
dusty n1olding or cluttered closet
or drawer remains in your whole house.

Gloves in Place of Importance
BY MARY MARSHALL.

The formal glove for evening was dis
carded by fashionable women at the
time of the war and now that a dozen
years have passed since Armistice day
1t is only natural that gloves should
return to their place Of Importance
among accessories Of the carefully
dressed woman.
To be sure some women still go glove
less at formal evening affairs, but they
are beginning to look conspicuous, and
the younger women especially regard
their evening gloves as very nearly as
important as their evening slippers
Long black gloves worn loosely drawn
to within an inch or so of the elbow
have been worn this Winter with black
