Traffic Safety Hint.
Mrs. Rice Returns.
By Helen ESSary

10y 42~A~4A AS0~A
Mr.. and Mrs. Donald Rich
berg have a nine-year-old
daughter, Eloise. Eloise has alb
sorbed the family interest in
public matters. She wants to
know about the friends of the
President and the people to
whom he has given big jobs.
All of Eloise'S questions are
answered honestly by her par
ents. Sometimes, however, her
knowledge of Administration
personalities is a little embaraSS-
ing.
For instance, the other night
Eloise was allowed to dine at
the table with guests. A cer'
tain prominent name was men
toned in the conversation.
Eloise looked brightly up from
her mashed potatoes and turkey
gravy and said:
"There, is a stupid man."
Whereupon Mr.. Rlchberg
blushed. The remark might as
we'll have been in quotations.
Beverly Nichols, the young
English writer, recently in town,
says there are more columns IN
Washington newspapers than
on the Capitol, Commerce
Building, State, War, and Navy
Buildings and all of Constitu-
ton Avenue combined.
Yes, Mr.. Nichols, but the
journalistic columns are OF
poric simplicity and always
pure in construction.
We flew into a rage on
Twenty-second street yesterday
afternoon about 5 o'clock. Cars
were rushing at us on the
wrong side of the street. We
sounded the horn viciously, un-
til a voice behind advancing
headlights shouted:
"Hey, there, sister! One
way traffic."
Still on the subject Of traffic!
Josephine Tighe Williams has
her own system of avoiding
death from right-hand turner's
and lefthand turner's at street
intersections.
She crosses the street in the
middle of the block. Because:
Few of them will run over
you deliberately"
A note from a Mems Wear
Shop remarks that $500 was
paid for the original of the
famous robe worn in "Design
for Living, and urges us to
purchase a copy of that dev'
r astating garment for $50.
Tempting. But is it wise?
Elesa Compton Rice has
come from India to visit
her native America. She is
now the guest of her brother
and sister-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson Compton.
Mrs. Rice is interested in the
Importance placed on enter
tanning in Washington. She
adores parties, but she had
forgotten in Allahabad, where
her husband is president Of
Ewing College, what a serious
business society in the Capital
really is.
The debutante parties, which
set such emphasis on youth,
she enjoys. In India neither
the native families nor the
foreign groups bother to in
troduce their daughters to So
ciety. She thinks the innova'
ton would be pleasant.
! Mrs. Rice is quite pretty
and definitely feminine. She
is the daughter Of a Presby'
terian clergyman, DR. Elias
! Compton, of Wooster, Ohio,
and is the only sister in a FAM
lily of famous brothers.

Phyllis takes voice culture in
the mornings. And then rasps
her soft, low voice Shrieking
above the crowds at debutante
receptions of the late afternoon.
The models at the Democratic
Digest's fashion show this after.
noon at the Woman's National
Democratic Club, will be of as
sorted architecture, age and
condition of servitude-but of
unanimous beauty, Democracy,
and chic.
