CONGRESSIONAL HOUSING

More than merely the members of Congress were interested in the proposal of Representative Alfred F Better of New York to ask Con- gress for $4,000,0O0 to build a new apartment house to save Congress- men from Washington high rents. If 531 Senators and Representa- tives vacated their present apart ments, it might spell lower rents for many other harrassed Washington ians. However, few expect the thing to get beyond the dream stage. The Washington landlords have stymied that kind of legislation before.
 Anyway how would you get 531 Senators and Representatives to live peaceably together? It is hard enough now, what with precedence and all. to get them into the same office building. Imagine settling questions of precedence in connec- tion with the communal laundry fa- cilities.

Perhaps the next argument may be
that such surroundings are not prac-
tical for student who has had only q
general curriculum of education, and
whose hobbies run only on small and
quasi-immature lines-that Florence,
with its masterpieces is more for those
who have spent years in universities

no! 1t is a locality where any one may
pursue any interest for as long and as
far as they like. Few girls before they
make their debut have any idea of
majoring in the arts, at least until
they come out. But they can develop
an interest in many things that will
open new vistas to them, and suggest
