Girl, 8, Has Dog
after Skirnlish
In Court Here

Eght-year- -old Yvonne Burke of
2435 Thirty-eighth street Sc. still
had her wire-haired fox terrier Jiggs
today, though legal dificulties over
possession may not be at an end.
Assistant District Attorney David
A. Hart left the terrier with Yvonne
yesterday after an informal hearing
on the complaint of Mrs. Clare Storm
of 1918 Branch avenue Sc. that the
dog belonged to her. ...
Yvonne tearfully told Mr.. Hart that
she lost the terrier-she called him
Jiggs and Mrs. Storm called him jeff
last May. The next time she saw
her pet. she testified, was in the yard
of Mrs. Storms home She said she
couldn't see the dog very well, but
she could hear him bark.
A week ago, the gate being opened
in some unexplained manner, Jiggs-
or Jeff-disappeared from Mrs Storm s
yard, and Yvonne testified he came
home.
Testimony developed that there was
no dispute over the identity Of the
dog. and the question was entirely on
ownership.
Mrs. Storm said she had found the
animal in her yard and had obtained
a license for him August last, there
by giving her legal claim.
Mr.. Hart shook his head at the end
of the hearing. He suggested that
Mrs. Storm could sue for possession.
Mrs. Storm said today she planned
to consult a lawyer on what course to
pursue.
II love this little dog" she added.
Il live alone, and recently when some
one was prowling around my house
little JEFF scared the intruder away.
Il love children, too, and if this
little girl had come to me in q nice
way, told me it was her dog and prom
lsed to care for him, I would have
given him to her"

Il have long been acquainted
with Alexandria's large houses,
the thing that amazed and in
tereSted me beyond words were
the perfectly delightful small
houses. I had no idea how
charming and amusing these lit
tie homes would be, and even
now, after seeing them, I can
hardly accept the evidence of
my eyes. The woodwork. the
furniture and the furnishings
were in such taste and harmony,
so sympathetic, that I wanted
one for mystelf. I do thank you
for the privilege of letting me
see AleXandria's little houses"
All patrons of the tours will
appreciate Alexandria'S little
houses, and none more than the
small, but perfectly restored
home of Mr.. and Mrs. James M.
Haley at 319 Wolfe St. This is
a very old house and a very,
very small house that is truly
exquisite. The fittings are in
complete harmony. The wee
garden just the right size for
such a wee house. The old origi.
nal pine floors reflect in their
polished surfaces the early Amer
lean furniture, for this house is
perfectly furnished also and
must delight the eye of any visi-
tor.
Two other small houses, well
and automatically restored, are
those of Mr.. Edward Van deVen-
ter at 221 and 223 S. Lee St.
These houses are clapboard over
brick, as we're so many of the
early frame houses. The wood
work and hardware here are
good and the furniture is in
keeping.

into the room. You have heard
about him, you have read about
him, but h. is really a movie
actor when it comes to appear
ance. Guy is not tall, but the
powerful sweep of his shoulders
makes him seem to.
He IS painfully thin latter all
prison camps and hospitals are
not conducive to flesh) his face
is haggard and his eyes which
are so young, look very tired
and are shaded by laShes that
any girl might envy. His hair
is q burned gold and SO smoothly
is it brushed that it resembles
a bright, cloSe-fitting cap and
his mouth beneath a strong and
dominant nose is extremely will
full, eager and kind.
TUY limps-and walks with a

his hip-in his leg and his foot
are not so easily healed. He is
absolutely charming. He kisses
ones hands and one feels like
a duchess. His Southern accent,
which came from generations of
gallant gentlemen and lovely
ladies, has gone completely, and
in its place is an accent-not
pronounced, not particularly
clear-but there, nevertheless.
GUY was in five major battles,
U and refuses to remember
any Of them. He brushes lightly
over his swim for freedom and
the fact that his mother was
pacing the streets Of Gibraltar
that Hateful night and that he
was within five feet of liberty
when he was captured and re-
turned to his lines.
His hands, which are wonder
fully slender and somewhat
fragile, are the calmeSt part of
him-they seldom move and his
most cherished possession is an
Identification bracelet Of silver
links with a plate bearing his
name and which is so arranged
that no one could possibly get
it off his wrist without COM
uniting murder.
