Houses furnish an interesting topic
during the days of official mourning,
and while much of the talk and still
more physical energy is spent in settling
new officials in well known residences
the chief centers of interest are the
Townsend house on Massachusetts, ave-
nue., where President-elect Roosevelt
and his family will have a brief resi-
dence before going to the White House;
the construction Of the new Alanson B.
doughton residence on Massachusetts,
avenue with its foundations BEND laid,
and the Barney studio house on the
same famous highway.
For many administrations the resi-
dence of the late Mrs. Richard H.
Townsend was the center OF fashionable
life in Washington and in its lofty
chambers President Taft and President
Theodore Roosevelt were frequently en-
tertained. The late Mrs. Townsend,
who added more brilliant pages to
Washingtons social history than almost
any other woman in official and un-
official life in the Capital, and whose
visiting list embraced every person of
note in Washington for more than a
quarter of a century, gave four famous
balls there for debutanteS, the most
elaborate being that for her daughter,
Mathilde Townsend, now Mrs. Sumner
Welles, sole heir to her mothers estate.
Another elaborate ball with hun
dreds of dollars spent on flowers, music
and elaborate supper was that for Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth when, as Alice
Roosevelt, she was the reigning belle OF
the country and later there was ball
in the same drawing room, this time
transformed into a veritable garden OF
flowers, for the younger daughter OF
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, Ethel.
now Mrs. Richard Derby OF New York.
and still another Presidents daughter
was given a lovely ball there when
Helen Taft. now Mrs. Frederick j..
Manning, was the young lady OF the
White House.

are not strangers in the Townseno
house and it is hitting place DOtn toa
Presidents and PTesidentS-elect, haVlng

Mrs. Welles. who spend the great part
of their times at their Maryland country
estate, are personally supervising ar
rangements at the Massachusetts, ave-
nue. house for the reception OF Gov.
and Mrs. Roosevelt, their family and
friends.
The Barney Studio house on Sheridan
circle, which was for many years the
scene of brilliant gatherings OF Wash
ington's literary set as well as OF smart
society. and which served for several
years as the residence of an Ambassa-
dor Of Brazil, will again tempt society
when, beginning Friday, from IL O'Clock

Seeks to Allay Jitters
OF Star Letter Writer
To the Editor of The Star:


In The Star of December appeared
letter on dollars" by one Frank Mac
millin. In order to set him right, ,>let
me inform him that Prof. Warren has
come forward with plan that seems
to the President the best one to try and
one that has proven itself in England.
So also let me inform him that although
Prof. Sprague, with whom he seems to
agree, could not agree with the Presi-
dent on his policy of devaluing the dol
lar, the fact remains that while acting
In his capacity as adviser to the Bank
of England, at salary of S25,000, he
sold the bank the same idea the Presi-
dent has in mind. and he, Sprague,
staked his financial reputation on it,
and he did not say then. as he is say
ing now, that it spelled financial ruina-
tion." In other words, Sprague told
England to cut the value of her pound
from S5.25 to 1886. and by so doing it
would benefit England, and 1t did, be-
cause through her cheapened pound it
enabled England to take what little for
eign trade we had left away from us.
But we have simply shown England and
the rest of Europe that we can play
that game on this side of the Atlantic
equally as well as they can on that side,
as shown by our recent increase In the
past six weeks OF our foreign trade, run
ming into many millions of dollars. I
submit that when a so-called noted"
professor tells England to cheaper her
money because it's good for you, and
then tells America not to cheaper her
money because it's bad for you, then
there Is something rotten in Denmark. !"
Frank Macmillin seems to have the
"jitters" because all the gold Is locked
up. Was he accustomed to carrying
gold around In his pocket and paying
his landlord and grocer with It? Land
lords and grocers are still doing busi-
ness In the same old stands with what
some choose to call "boloney" and 'pro-
fessor" dollars. OF course our gold is
locked in Uncle Sans vaults. Why
shouldn't 1t be? Some Americans who
nearly succeeded in wrecking America
and who now are just a little bit
afraid" Of the future are clamoring for
their currency to be changed into gold
so they can ship it out of America to
Europe. They believe it safer there
That's their patriotism. Now. as to
Frank Macmillin's "stratosphere" dollar
or direct imitation by printing new un-
backed currency. The majority of the
so-called soft" money men oppose that
strenuously, and rightly so. And If F..
M. reads The Star every day, as he SO
stated, then he knows there hasn't been
any "stratosphere" dollars as yet. So
don't yell thief until he grabs your
pocketbook. j. ]. CRAWFORD.

Not Enough Street Cars
Under the New System
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Our 1889 street car baby. though
born late in the year, started business
early on December and it looks to me
like still another big bluff pulled on Mr..
John Public. who pays all bills, includ-
ing the District of Columbia street car
force. ! notice that there has been
lot OF ballyhoo about transfers and
passes, which is all right to a certain ex-
tent. especially to the person who rides
more than the ordinary. but who wants
to ride on five street cars for one fare,
using the transfer privilege, when a
person has to wait on the corner for the
next one and hopes he won't freeze to
death while waiting? We don't mind
paying for our street car ride, which has
been proved by the number Of passen-
gers carried by the 10-cent buses since
their start. but when it comes to wait
ing on the corner for a street car or
bus from 5 to Is minutes. we do mind.
What We want is transportation and if
If we don't get it from the street car
company We wish it would either get
out OF business or get in the taxicab
business. The worthy president of the
car company said he was going to make
1t model system and the best in the
country. Now We hope he does, but
from the number Of people waiting on
corners and on loading platforms since
this system went into effect think he
Is making a very poor start.
From my point of view, would think
1t more serviceable to have the street
cars and buSses that are lying idle in
the car houses out in the street. where
they are needed, rather than collecting
dust and spider draperies In those dark
places where they don't do anybody any
good. Also when the new system went
into effect I think they should have
scrapped all the so-called schedules they
have been making for years and have
the system in shape to carry the public
when and where they want to &C.
