For what woman isn't terribly
pleased to receive some luxury
cosmetic which her budget does
not allow her to indulge in?
Latent in every woman (and
not so latent in many is the
desire to possess the beautiful to
make her beautiful.
Take, for instance, that ex-
quisite new evening bag-that
practical, handsome thing that
tickles the vanity of every
woman who handles it! It is the
nattiest, most compact arrange
ment I ever laid eyes on-flaunt-
ing a double compact and auto
matte lipstick in white enamel
and gold and a small flacon of
rich perfume.
But that's not all. There's a
map-flap purse for change and
keys, a shirred pocket for your
hankie and grand size mirror,
in back of which is a place for
personal cards. All these con-
veniences are done up in heavy
satin lining and folds up into a
box-like shape which you can
easily grasp in your hand. That's
planning Sanely and well!
This tempting siren comes in
several lyric shades of velvet for
the city and of cabassol crepe
for those who dwell in the land
Of sunshine and warm weather.
And if you really want to be
truly elegant and spiffy, you
may choose patterned brocade
for an additional few dollars.
For particular gifts it rates a
high place on my list!

Household
Hints
For Sticky Windows

If q window can be moved at
all paraffin can be rubbed into
the grooves and when evenly dis
tributed by raising and lowering
the window it will often elimi-
nate the trouble. In severe cases
the front molding may have to
be removed in order to start the
window, but before doing this
try pulling down tho sash cords
and then releasing them and let
ting the weights fall. The force
put on the window by the falling
weights is often enough to get
it loose. Soap is also useful for
helping windows and screens to
work easily.
GOOD FROSTING
Orange fondant makes a good
frosting for fruit cake.

GASOLINE TAX USE
IN PARKS is URGED
Lusk Would Apply Excess Reve-
nue. to Improving and Ex-
tending Roads.

Use of gasoline tax revenue for
maintenance, repair and extension OF
roads within the District park system
in the 1896 fiscal year has been rec
ommended to the District Commls-
sioners by Rufus Lusk OF the WASH
ington Taxpayers Protective ASsocl-
alton.
The gasoline fund tax" Lusk wrote
the city heads yesterday, has been
splendid revenue raiser. 1t is the only
form OF tax in the District that has
not felt the depression. 1t has IN
creased each year, and it is estimated
that in 1885 100000 more will be col
lected than during the current year.
AS your board knows only too well. all
other taxes have fallen on, partIcu-
larly the Intangible tax, which mas
dropped 28 per cent from 1881 s peak.
THE gasoline tax brings IN more
money than is really needed for cur
rent street repairs and extensions. Re-
Gently the law has wisely been inter-
preted so as to use this fund tor
bridges; why could it not then be used
for the maintenance, repairs and eX-
tension OF roadways within the pubic
parks of the District of Columbia?
1T is quite certain that the Budget
Bureau and Congress would approve
this practice. 1t would relieve the
general fund, which will be taxed to
the limit for the next fiscal year, for
an amount perhaps as much as SlOU.-
900 to $120.000 which was taken out
OF the general fund for roads IN the
parks in 1882 and 1888"

Robbery Becoming

SchOH Restaurant Again
Robbed While EN-
ployes Picnic.

This robbery business is getting to
be as much of an annual affair with
Evan A. Sholl, proprietor of three
restaurants in the Capital, as is his
Summer outing for employees.
Last Summer when the employees
went to Morgantown. Md, for an
outing, burglars broke into the cafe
at 1919 G street and ransacked the
place.
Yesterday, while all Sholl employees
again were their employers guests at
the outing at Morgantown-even the
night watchman-the intruders re
peated."
Police believe entrance was gained
by use of a duplicate key. Safes had
been rified, desk drawers thrown
about the floor and two cigarette
vending machines broken open. The
only money taken was from the vend-
ing machines, along with few cigars
and cigarettes, and the storsroom was
undisturbed.
The robbery was discovered when
the night watchman returned for
duty after the outing last night.

the builders could use. He estimated
that altogether about 100 carpenters
applied for work. Mr. Colladay made
it clear that the contractors will in

force daily as the work progresses and
as the jobs get organized, after the
