NEW DRESS FAD

has been an increase in public
drunkenness.
He says he sees DRINKS
wherever he goes. In railroad
dining cars are overly merry
persons. On back streets he
passes complete souses in the
gutter. In restaurants sharp
female voices are raised in
alcoholic excitement.
From the DRINKS at the wheels
OF automobiles-heaven protect
him. He's actually afraid to
accept an invitation to ride
home after an evening of bridge
for fear the wobbly hand of his
best friend will steer him into
eternity.
Our friend declares that peo-
pie cannot sit down for
10-minute conversation without
reaching for a glass. Frequently
he endures DRINKS in his own
home.
We are fast getting to be
race of stupid people, he thinks.
We cannot enjoy ourselves with
out the stimulation of alcohol.
Small but important notes:
Sir Wilmott Lewis is sailing
for London on July Escaping
the day of American independ-
ence. Mrs. Walker Buel, plus
two sons, and Mrs. Edward
Gableman, plus one daughter,
have gone to visit their old
homes.
Here's yarn about a Gov
ernor, a careless waiter, and a
hard.boiled egg. The Governor,
now a Representative, is Wal"
ter M. Pierce, of oregon.
When Representative Pierce
was Governor of his State, he
sometimes had to eat at a Ger"
tain restaurant in the little town
of Salem (never a gaudy capt.
taD.
At this restaurant, popular
with the country people on
their Wednesday and Saturday
trips from the farm. the food
was robust. The service was
well-fundamental.
once at midday dinner Gov
ernor Pierce was presented with
q bowl of gummy soup which
spilled over the sides of the
bowl and entirely immersed the
thumb of the waiter. Look
ing at the thumb, the Governor
said quickly to take the soup
away and bring him something
else.
The waiter eventually arrived
with a dish of stew in which
his thumb again was well sunk.
The Governor said:
"Take it back, take it back!
Bring me a hard-bOiled egg.
And, dern it all, let me see you
try to get your thumb in that"
Our acquaintance among the
well-dressed say it's awfully
smart for mothers and daugh'
tiers to wear dresses alike. Such
garments are called Mother and
No,,mh%ar nroSSnS
We've had such a combina.
ton in our family for years.
Never worn at the same time,
however. But accomplished by
mother and daugher-Singly-
depending on who got to the
closet first.
Mrs. James Alexander Lyon
and her daughter, Betty, are
wearing correct mother and
daughter costumes of lowered
green chiffon and big white
hats faced in green.
It was Betty Lyon who took
her lamb to school not long!
ago and entered it in pet
show. The lamb behaved as
Mary'S did in Mother Goose
and will probably be enrolled
In the schools fall term.
Rose Kryszak, of Wisconsin,
the daughter half of a working
mother granddaughter combina'
ton, stopped in Washington
yesterday to say how-do to the
Administration. Rose is Secre-
tary-asSistant to her editor-leg"
1slator mother, Mary Kryszak.
While Mrs. KrysZak is in
Madison attending the State
Legislature, Rose manages her
mothers Milwaukee office,
which has become a gathering
place for her Polish country
men.
Every weekend mother and
daughter meet in Chicago,
where they publish the Polish
Women's Alliance Voice. For
their older readers they write
their news and comments in
Polish, and for the younger ele-
ment in English.
The magazine has a circula.
ton of $4,000. 1t is the official
organ Of Polish women in Amer
lea.
Senator Borah is going to
be seventy years old on June
%. But he doesn't like the
fact mentioned.
Newspaper writer's have been
asking him for days to please
tell them what he thinks about
life and the world at the age
