A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

Brave words for a man outside the
profession to say. But then he prob
ably knew ne was on safe ground. He
not only smiled a bit when he said II,
but If he had been challenged he knew
he could tell them that he was in
way qualified to speak, for he had stud
led law once himself.
Regardless of whether members of
the Senate are good lawyers or bad
ones, the fact remains that there are
more Of them there than representa-
tives of any other profession.
There are only four States--Michigan
New Hampshire, New Jersey and North
Dakota-which are not represented in
the Senate by lawyers. Kansas two
Senators are newspaper men, but Vice
President Curtis makes up for the loss.
Alabama. Arkansas. California, Flor
ida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada,
North Carolina, Oregon. Texas, WASH
ington and West Virginia are repre-
Sented exclusively by lawyers.
And there must be sufficient num-
Der OF this group who consider them
selves good enough to warrant some one
challenging Smiths statement.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover had to pay S.
for SO worth of Christmas seals.
At the White House the other day
badly frightened but well coached little
girl was making the sale as cameras

How much are they?" the First Lady
inquired.
Three dollars" replied the scared
little girl, in voice scarcely audible.
But haven't So" said Mrs Hoover
Il have only SIS. Have you any

The little girl hadn't, so Mrs Hoover
paid over the extra So.

Dear Doctor: A year ago I'll months,

being of a very determined frame of
mind, wouldn't give UP once I had
started. When I began I weighed just

80 years old. Yesterday weighed ISL,
a loss of 62la pounds. Isn't that fine?
I'm more than delighted. used to
And am I wrinkled? Not a bit. In
fact, my hubby says I look 10 years
younger, and really that is how 1 feel.
Am near enough to my normal weight,
or shall get down to $50?
Never, never again will I get so ter
ribly fat because of overeating. Count
ing calories isn't at all bad, and I've
grown to love my daily walks. I walk
ia to 2 miles every day. MRS. S"
According to the rule Of allowing ITO
pounds for feet in height Tin stocking
feet and 5l2 pounds for each inch
over that, you should weigh around
this standard, Mrs S. However, it may
be that this is not excess for you, If
your framework Is heavy.
Usually, II there Is 10 or IL pounds
excess, it is easier to gain more pounds
on a diet that would not add extra
weight If you were normal. You will
have to find out for yourself whether
that extra poundage is in excess for
you.
walking is one of the best of the
reducing exercises. One gets more oxy-

Thank You Letter.

I wonder if the children have written
their letters of thanks. Christmas
brought gifts from far and near, and
every gift brought a thrill of joy. Now
thrills of joy are not so plentiful that
one can afford to ignore the kindness
of those who provide them. Each gift
must be acknowledged by a cordial note
of thanks. Children ought to list their
gifts and the names of those who made
them and write the thank you" let
tiers. OF course, if the children are
very little, or If the gifts are too many,
the task can be divided and those let
tiers that go the greatest distance can
be answered first
Children need help on these letters
perhaps. Try to see that they get It,.

Famous Duels and Duelists
Marquise and Countess Shot Each Other in
Quarrel Over Duke.
BY J. r. GLASS.

At grand fete in the Palace of
Versailles the Marquise de Nesle and
the Countess de Polignac had q terrible
quarrel
The object of the quarrel was that
celebrated DUO de Richelieu, who has
been mentioned in previous articles of
this series. The due had had every
experience in love, except one. Ladies
OF high degree and low had lost their
hearts over him, but none ever had
fought duel for possession of him.
On this night In 1721 the Marquise
de Nesle and the Countess of Polignac
were to lay the foundations for such an
affair.
Just how the quarrel started at the
grand fete is unimportant. But 1t had
not gone far when Nine. de Nesle went
stark mad, sprang upon the countess
and endeavored to tear q diamond
necklace from her neck
The countess prevented her from
succeeding. But the marquise wrested
from her corsage a bouquet of red roses
and struck the countess in the face
with them.
In her turn the lady of Polignac went
berserker. The result was wild battle
that Mortified the court. Blows and
scratches were administered in profu-
sion. Jewels, ribbons, laces and flowers
soon strewed the floor.
It was some time before the ave-
stricken onlookers could get their

Did you ever think how many places
a bench might be a good addition to q
house?
First Of all, the hall should be con-
sidered. We must have welcoming
atmosphere in this room, in order that
our guests may feel at ease, and moth
ing SO creates this as a place to sit.
One often enters a hall which is beau
tifully decorated, but whose only OBJ
jects are chests, tables. mirrors, torch
ieres, ETC.. in spite of the money spent
there Is something important lacking
when no chair or bench has been pro-
vided.
A bench is ideal for hall, and a
stair landing which is of good size may
accommodate one. II 1t can be placed

breath. Finally the Marquis de Mall
buisson and Mile. de Condacet separated
the belligerents.
The latter departed breathing male
dictions upon each other. The next
morning the countess sent Nine. de
Nesle a challenge to a duel.
The fair contestants met at 6 o'clock
in the morning in the Gardens of YER
sailles. The proceedings were strictly
in accordance with the code. Nine.
Polignac had as her seconds the Mar
quis de Malbuisson and the Comte de
Penthievre, while the Vicomte DAllagne
and M. de Remusac off1ciated for her
opponent.
The ladies took their stand and fired
one shot at each other without effect
The seconds now rushed In, feeling that
the demands of honor had been salts
fled and that the proceedings should
cease. But with one voice they were
told to stand back" The duelists
demanded fresh pistols.
"Reminiscences we're of no use. They
fired again.
This time the MarquiSe de NesIe fell
with dangerous but not fatal wound
IN her side. The Countess de Polignac
also had been hit-a tiny piece had
been shot out of one ear.
All Paris smiled at this historic en-
counter. All but the Due de Richeiieu.
He smirked and laughed outright.

One mOC1eT says.
An interesting method of training
children to use correct language is as
follows: Have small penny bank and
penalize each member of the family,
father and mother included, for using
inelegant as well as incorrect express
sions, such as IT seen," "ain't," "gee,"
gosh" yeah" you bet" etc.
1t is surprising how sharp they be-
come at detecting errors and as con-
sequence watch their own speech quite
closely. Also very small children, if
corrected when learning to talk, Will
be inspired always to speak correctly.
