SALE
REPORTED

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. T.
The announcement of the sale of
the right-of-way of the Alexan-
dria, Washington, and Mt. Vernon
Street Car Company from Alex
andria to Mt. Vernon has revived
rumors that an attempt will be
made to sell the entire road. 1t
is said that the company is at
tempting to sell the right-of-way
from Alexandria to Washington
to the State, to be used as a road
bed.
In view of the fact that the
two cities are now connected by
two roads and that the Mt.
Vernon Boulevard will also con-
meet the cities. 1t is not believed
that the deal will go through.
Since being bought by stock
holders of the old Washington
Virginia Railway Company, the
street-car line has not been doing
the business it did before bus
competition cut into its income.

Historic Wise.Crackers of The Table
Disappointment In Love; La Reynere Turned to Caronomy
and Became Authority.
BYLP. GLASS.

Among the most readable disserta-
lions on the pleasures Of the table are
the eight little volumes by Alexandra
Balthazar-Laurent Grimod de Ia Rey-
Mere, collected under the title Of
"L'Almanach des Commands" (Alma-
nae Of the EpicureS).
La Reyniere might not have become
great authority upon eating pleas
urably had it not been for love dis
aster. At 80 he was enamoured of an
actress, Mile. Mezeray. However, she
repulsed his advances. He turned to
gastronomy for consolation, with the
result that he grew to be the arbiter
of the Partisan dinner table. This was
at the close of the eighteenth century
and the beginning of the nineteenth.
An interesting fact about LIE Rey-
Mere was that he had deformed hands
and he had to do all his literary labors
with an artificial device.
He was a merry person, and he liked
to wise-crack. Here are some OF his
tests:

It Is the mind which keeps love alive.
Unhappy marriages, therefore, are due
to the failure of the mind, rather than
a changed condition of the heart, the
change of heart itself being due to the
slow and almost imperceptible changes
in ones way of thinking.
People will realize the full true value
of love-and achieve it--only when they
realize the full true value Of under

The incurable curiosity of maliciously
