WASHINGTON Scene
BY George Dixon


I WOULD like to tell you a
fascinating story - of how
flowers for Mrs. Gen. Jonathan
Wainwright, and the gallant
bearer thereof, got thrown out
of the United States Senate!
Among other places, the hero
Of Bataan visited the Capitol to
receive the acclaim of our
august members of Congress.
After appearing before the
House of Representatives the
general and entourage started
the long trek down the corridor
to the Senate.
A group OF ladies suddenly
barged into the procession with
a huge bouquet for Mrs. Vain
wright. The latter accepted the
flowers graciously and then
handed them to Brig. Gen.
Lewis Beebe, Gen. Wainwright's
chief Of staff.
Gen. Beebe juggled the bou-
quet for a minute, then handed
il to 1t Col. Thomas, Dooley,
Gen. Wainwright's aid. The lat
ter looked around for some one
to pass il to but found no
receiver available.
HOLDING the flowers gins
Ii gerly, Dooley entered the
Senate chamber. He was stand
ing there, looking uncomfort-
able, when the Senate sergeant
at arms came charging over.
"NO flowers permitted in
here" rasped the functionary.
You'll have TO take them Out!w
Before he knew what was
happening, 1t. Col. Dooley was
shunted from the chamber. And
there he had to stay, alone and
forlorn in the lobby, until the
ceremonies were finished.
When il was all over, and
the flower-holding warrior was
fit 10 be tied, an explanation
was offered. 1t seems the Sem
ate passed this rule on Feb. "a,
1905. which has never been re-
pealed:
The sergeant at arms Is In
structed not TO permit flowers
In the Senate until further
notice"
Even the Oldest old-timer
around the Senate cannot re-
call why the order was passed.
They think maybe some sena-
tors were getting too many
flowers and others became
jealous. Either that, or too
many goldenrods were being
delivered during the hay fever
season.

DEAR J. D.:
IN MY opinion. your mothers

ing to woman her age; is on a

she felt she must be constantly

your downright display of filial
solicitude in having her live

What she should do, OF course,
is sensibly face the fact that
the arrangement works some

of you, and then dedicate her
self TO the proposition of being
gallant lady, and normally
self-sufficient, within the frame

Surely she knows that people
get married because they wish

And If she must live with you,

fer pain and inconvenience, but
one or both OF two things may

This cast is OF the type which
allows the patient TO be up and
