"Whewl I do remember now. But
I never connected it up with your leav-

him. For contrast, there was the home
on the Crest. The house presided over
by Cora, his sister-in-law.
Even that was not his own, Roger
found himself thinking with a flash OF
rebellion. He had his own suite OF
rooms-they were dull and a little
stuffy, for they had not been done 0rn~
since the late 90s. The rest of the
house was Cora's.
At the thought, Roger felt the old

 ALFRED ANDERSON TODAY

Funeral services for Alfred An derson, who died about midnight, Sunday night, were to be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock under the auspices of the Jesse Lee Home, local institution where five chil- dren, aged five to nine years, sur vive him. Burial was to be made in the Seward cemetery.
 MT. Anderson was about 52 years of age and had been resident of Cordova for some time but during the last several years he had re- sided here. He died, apparently, from suffocation as the result of a fire which started inside his home from an undetermined cause.
 Besides the children it is said that two sisters survive him, at Rockford, H. Mr. Anderson was a Spanish American War Veteran having served with the 18th Infan- try in Cuba.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

Private life is exactin G
enough, in the demand 1t makes
on us for clothes, but public
life is often more so. We can
usually find out from the hos
tess if an informal party re-
quires evening clothes, or if the
invitation is formal the nature
of it usually suggests the type
clothes you need. But woman
who speaks in public, who sings
in concerts or over the radio, or
makes public appearances in any
other way, is often hard put to
it to find the right sort OF a
dress.
Perfect Double Duty
The answer is unusually easy
this year, for there are so many
double duty costumes, wearing
a little jacket that can be taken
off if the affair is formal, or
left on if it isn't. Dresses that
you can appear in with the
jacket, for broadcast or a lee
ture, then go to a party where
you can be as gay as you like
with the jacket off. And now
we think we've found the best
double duty dress that we've
seen yet, so we're Sketching it
today. It's perfect public life
costume, and of course, just as
smart for the woman who is
just a private citizen.
A ViOnnet Copy
Vionnet was the originator,
clever as usual in her cutting,
for the jacket is so intricate
that you scarcely find the
seams, yet it drapes into a per-
fectIy simple little affair that
could go on the street. It's all
of softest chiffon velvet, in
black, wine or brown. The dress
is cut low in the back. is ankle
length, and cut to fit beauti-
fully. 1t will do nicely for dane
ing, because it is not so eX-
tremely long. The jacket. with
long sleeves and collar that is
held high by rhinestone clips.
transforms it completely into a
formal afternoon gown, or a
superb dinner dress. In spite Of
its new fashion points, and the
fact that it is of lovely quality,
it is priced only 500. so complete.

Advice to the Love|orn
By Beatrice Fairfax

about this girl, my dear Joe.
Most girls of 81, if they really
care about a young man, will
not give up a Sunday evening
to going out with a younger
sister. Does your girl protest
at this, or does she only give it
as an excuse for not going out
with you? Write me again and
tell me this most important de-
tail. Meantime, Sunday eve
nings should not be lonesome
for an attractive young man.
Paste This in Your Hats
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For a long time now I have
been going with a boy used to
be crazy about, but now I only
like him little. This is the
reason, Miss Fairfax. Every
place we go and everything we
do, I always have my own way,
but I just long to be told what
to do and be boSsed by strong
determined man. Do you think
I should continue to go with a
man who hasn't any mind of
his own?
.. ADDIE
Here's a girl who is looking
for something in the cave man
line. The gentle and compliant
young man who does whatever
she wants, goes wherever she
suggests, has lost out. She is
no longer "crazy" about him
and now only likes him a little.
There is no reason why she
should keep on with him. Bet
ter leave him to some of the
girls who write me they're sick
and tired of being bullied. They
can never do what they want,
or go. where they want to go,
because the boy friends are ut
terly over bearing.

Your Health and Diet
By Logan CIendening, M. D.

If the man III the street, the
average man, the forgotten
man, were suddenly asked what
the primary function of a pub
lie health department was, he
would answer. Disposal OF
sewage"
While public health officials
certainly have taken in a great
deal more territory than that,
it remains their most import
ant duty and one Of their most
troublesome problems.
When it is considered that
the Wards Island plant for a
portion of the city Of New York
will treat sewage flew of 180,-
100000 gallons a day, the mag
nitude of the urban problem is
evident.
That no completed satisfac-
tory solution is yet available is
evident from the recent remark
of Mr.. George L. Robinson in
the Popular Science Monthly,
that it is reasonable to expect
that within another 10 years
engineering and chemistry will
have improved sewage plant de-
sign to a satisfactory point.
The development of present
efficiency is only a matter of
the last 35 years, and prog
ress is slow to the difficulty of
arousing public opinion to the
great need of protection of our
rivers and lakes.
The earliest method Of sew
