JURORS DANCE
By HELEN ESSARY

mann verdict is ready and the
world has been told whether
Hauptmann shall live or die,
there will be special jubilee
ceremony and dance. Two men
jurors for each lady partner.
Except Rosie Pill, who will
have Judge Trenchard as her
private stag.
When the dance is over the
Jurors will at once begin a tour
of the vaudeville stage. On the
Dionne circuit.
The town has discovered a
new wit. Josh Lee dts his real
name), tenderfoot Representa-
tive from Oklahoma and once a
rancher, is the fellow.
He captivated the guests at
the Carabao dinner. Never
before" declared Josh to his
audience, composed mostly of
generals and colonies and ad-
mirals, "have I seen as many
officers in one crowd. Except
that time when 1 was wounded
private, and carried to the rear
on a stretcher during the bat
tie of the Argonne. At this
his hosts laughed violently.
Josh Lee also talked about
the gag rule in the House. He
said he didn't know much about
Congress. But:
II know what to do with the
steers. First rope 'em. Then
bulldog 'em. Then brand 'em.
But let 'em beller as loud and
long as they want. Never gag
'em."
His own State, Josh Lee said,
was settled largely by gentle
men from other localities who
were badly in want of a home.
And as for ArkansaS-Senator
Robinson, from Little Rock,
sitting nearby, reminded him Of
the time zone fellow from
Arkansas ran across the border
to escape punishment for hay
ing cut down the States food
supply-he'd chopped down a
persimmon tree"
A successful Washingtonian
has three thousand acqualnt-
anceS-and three friends.
Secretary Ickes is an ardent
stamp collector. He sometimes
works at the hobby half the
night. Mrs. Ickes IS likely to
be walked up at any late hour
by the sound of hammering on
his study walls. Harold is re-
hanging mis- framed stamps.
Right Reverend James Hugh
Ryan, the Bishop of Modra,
must be social as we'll as ecclesl-
astical.
AS president of catholic Uni
versity he must dine out, lunch
out, and keep in touch with
People. Often he finds he
hasn't time after an afternoon
reception or lecture to return to
the Catholic University at Brook
land and dress for dinner. So
he hurries to the house of his
aunt, where his dinner clothes
are waiting in the emergency.
The other day, the person
who packs His Grace's suitcase
left out his coat. And it had
to be rushed in town by special
messenger.
Mr.. Jesse Jones, chairman of
the RFC, who handles billions,
maybe trillions, for all we
know, has baby-blue eyes and
dimples. Mr.. Edward Proch-
nick, Minister from Austria,
says he gets Sound Struck" at
large parties. We know exactly
how the Minister feels. We are
so afflicted daily. It's being so
overcome by noise and people
thai one can't hear very we'll,
can't think at all, and can't pos
sibly speak.
Major Julia Stimson and Mrs.
Levi Cooke came through from
New York to Washington on
the first electric train Sunday.
They said they felt as if they
were riding on a feather bed
DR.. Hans Luther, Ambassador
of Germany, is round and jolly
and gallant. When he goes out
in the evening, he swings a
black opera cape from his shoul-
derS.
The handsome young man
who sells us our gasoline says
he can't understand why we
ever write what danes wear"
One dress looks like another to
him.
In the face of such advice
here we go:
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, Di-
rector of the Mint and former
governor of Wyoming, wears
one of those off-the-shoulde
dresses very beguilingly (the
kind that is held on with wisps
of gauze and imagination. >.
So does Madame Peter, the
handsome wife of the Minister
from Switzerland.
Mrs. James F.. Curtis has the
sort of transparent complexion
that gloWs with color just be.
low the fair skin. And-she
manages the most interesting
club in town, several dress
