WORK SOUGHT

The Alexandria City Council
last night approved the plan of
City Manager Wallace Lawrence
to seek bids for work on the pro-
posed high school before starting

grant. requires a guarantee that
the building can be completed for
the $250,000 available before it
would authorize work.

local labor on city projects was
amended to allow outside workers

Some
Interesting
Dossie Gossip
BY LIZ HUME

I want to let the readers of
this column who are looking for
the pictures Of their pets know
what has happened to the
photos. First of all, the picture
of the Belgian police dog sent
by A. N. Williams, of Colmar
Manor, Md, was too indistinct
for publication. The whole pic
ture is too notified for clear re-
production. Looks like a fine
dog, Mr.. Williams, and I would
like to have another picture of
her.
The picture of Mitzi sent to
me by Mr.. and Mrs. William L.
Englert is clear enough but the
figure of the dog is too small.
Wish they could make a close
up and submit it to me. Mitzi
is visiting Mr. Englert's brother
in-law and sister, Mr.. and Mrs.
L. P. Rawley, having come here
with her owners from Reading,
Pa.
hate to turn down the photo
of Buzzie, the cute Persian kit
ten belonging to Miss Ruth w.
CaperS. But the photo is too
bury for reproduction. Evil
IDENTIFY Buzzie must have jumped
for some of that catnip Miss
Capers mentioned. Buzzie had
the ricketts, when he was a tiny
kitten but the trouble was cor
rected by cod liver oil. That
may be a word to the wise for
other owners of cats.
Who owns the beautiful white
cat which graceS the lobby of
the Dupont Circle apartments?
This cat looks as though he is
bathed every day-and he wears
around his neck variety of
colored bows. One day yellow,
then red, etc. He stalks around
with an air of great dignity, as
though he owns the whole build
ing. and is known by practically
every resident.
I notice that the beautiful
Old English sheep dog belong
ing to Miss Violet Biddle has
been shorn of his coat in order
to keep him from suffering in
the Washington heat. He is as
sleek as a seal. all except his
head and up around his should
ers. The long hair hangs down
over his eyes still, but he must
be glad to lose the weight of
that winter coat. This also
makes him more agile at jump
ing fences, his favorite sport.

Advice to the LoveIorn

that now, maybe he doesn't
care. 1 just try to be
PATIENT.
Specialists who study our
emotions would have us be.
lieve that love and hatred are
curiously intermingled. So one
day when you had an impulse
to be cruel, to punish, perhaps
because you cared deeply, you
send back all those little pos
sessions that meant SO much
to you. And now you're sorry.
Whether it's too late or not
will depend on whether some
sweet young thing was stand
ing by ready to gobble him up.
If that hasn't happened, he'll

him again.

The man I'm engaged to Is
As, while I'm only 80. I can
say, truly, I don't love him, but

so that he frightens me Son1e-

me to lots of shows. concerts.

every time he came.
I live with eight girls in 3
large house, and we have .
housekeeper and a cook, and
all of us work in the Govern
ment, and these girls say I
ought to marry him. because
he would make a good hus-
band.
We go out on canoe trips, up
the river. on Sundays and stay
all day, and he brings the most
wonderful lunch, and tries to
make everything pleasant for
me. waiting on me hand and
foot.
He is a building contractor,
and makes good money, and 1
know can support me in the
way I should like.
What would you advise me
to do in this caSe-marry or
stay single with the other girls

forth.
