Queen Elizabeth Charms All
With Gruciousness and DIGNITY

She turns a frankly affectionate
smile on her husband when he
speaks, and he returns the atten-
ton with swifter, shyer glance.
Her clothes add much to the regal
impression. Their pastel shades
make her stand out in the crowds.
Her high off-the-face hats and the
very high heels on her dainty pumps
add to her height.
Her daytime dresses are almost
tailored in detail. But that's for
the purpose of making an effective
background for whatever deco
rations or flowers she may have to
wear. They are all in plain colors-
no prints.
For formal afternoon or evening
she goes entirely feminine with
frothy, full-skirted frocks-like the
white organza with wide insert
bands of lace which she wore to the
Embassy garden party, and the
white tulle powdered with gold
paillettes which she wore to the
White House dinner.
Her brown hair is worn softly but
close to the head.
All lin all, you just don't get the
picture of this young Queen until
you have seen her bend her grace
full neck ever so slightly, seen her
blue eyes sparkle and seen that
hand 90 up to signify that . Queen
d shyly pleased With the cheering.

Queen Elizabeth could have had
almost any movable object in Wash
ington today for the asking.
She charmed officials and plain
folk alike. Most of the talk ran,
And did you see her?" Then later,
Hes nice, too
She seems to overcome the fact
that she's Queen on whose en-
pire the sun never sets. In a
twinkling she has spectators think
ing of her as an extremely feminine
and pretty person But there is
an aura of royalty about her that's
hard to explain.
First, she walks and moves slow
ly. almost as If she were doing it to
the time of a band playing God
Save the King" Even her gestures
and turns of her head are done in
slow tempo.
She's slight figure, much more
so than her pictures look. Only her
face looks plump. She's shorter
than the King, but she stands very
erect, bowling with slight, grace
full nod of the head.
Her salute when the cheering
crowds get especially noisy is an in
dividual gesture. She brings up her
right arm gracefully from the side,
palm turned in, until her hand is on
a level with her head, and then she
moves the hand back and forth
three or four times.

been slight improvement in this
ratio. Mr.. Willard asserted.
Residential building has con-
tinued at no less rapid rate than
apartment construction. In fact,
the demand for small houses has
exceeded the demand for apart
ment units, so that within the last
few years, residents Of the District
of Columbia have been amazed at
the phenomenal rate with which this
wave of construction has progressed
he said.
Initially, funds for this extensive
construction development came al
most entirely from Federal Housing
Title II guaranteed loans. However,
as competition grew, loans began to
be made without such guarantee
and upon terms more and more
favorable to the borrower, he de-
clared. Today, greater emphasis is
being placed upon the amortized,
or the monthly payment loans,
which are exceedingly desirable, not
only to the lender, but particularly
to the owner.
Although the average family in
come in the District of Columbia
ranks we'll above the national aver
age. nevertheless, the cost of living
is relatively high. This, to large
degree. is attributable to the fact
that Washington is show city and
the cost of maintenance is far above
that of other cities of comparable
size, Mr.. Willard said.
With total pay rolls, Government
and private, showing 1888 average
monthly aggregate of about SAL ,OO0.-
600, Washington continues to be in
sulated to large degree from eco
nomic fluctuations, Mr. Willard de-
clared.

London's Water
Duplicated for
White House Tea

The tea King George and Queen
Elizabeth drink at the White House
this afternoon is made of water
as exactly like what they are used
to in London as human ingenuity
can make it.
It was learned that a Philadel-
phia firm took up the water prob
lem with Mrs. Roosevelt a month
ago and set to work to supply the
White House with water to du-
plicate Londons.
Obtaining chemical analysis of
the London water, the firm added
the necessary chemicals to distilled
water to make it match exactly
with the London product.
All this because different water is
supposed to make a difference in
the taste of tea, and Mrs. Roose-
welt was said to want the tea for
the King and Queen to taste just
like 1t does at home.

Of the special water was increased

it, he added. 1t is his function to
avoid being particeps criminis in the
excuses and abuses of speculation,
whether in stocks, real estate or
commodities, Mr. Atwood continued.
The bankers function in a chang
ing economy, as the trustee for de-
posltorS, savers, beneficiaries Of
trust funds and the like, is to avoid
the extremes of optimism and pes
simism. There is always ground for
moderate and reasonable optimism.
If any of you despair for the fu-

ers, Mr.. Atwood concluded.
Constructive Ideas Urged.

currency, made a plea for construc-

problems at least half way.

Concerning building operations,
Mr. Willard. who is vice president
Of, the National Savings & Trust
Co, said statistics indicate that in
the District of Columbia and the
adjoining counties of Arlington and
Fairfax in Virginia. and Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges in Mary
land, new construction has pro-
eeeded at rapid rate for long
time
For the Capital alone, Mr.. Willard
continued, the total value for the
year 1898 of building construction,
public and private, was in excess OF
ss3 0O0. 900 and for the whole Ma
ton, only in the cities of New York
and Los Angeles was greater
amount spent for construction pur-
poses.
Capital Ranks Near Top.
Exclusive of public construction,
Washington still ranked near the

States which enjoyed greater dollar
volume of construction activity, he
said. A steady growth in the num-
