self you'd never even seen the place. Every
thing is in the hands of matron, and all the
Board ever does is just to okay what she says,
or make an appointment as they did with me,
or come once in a great while to get her re-
port don't suppose any of them has ever
even seen the inmates"
Jason rubbed an ear. II can see how that
could happen, at that" he admitted.
"Minnes is one of the rooms that has
to be done over" Lily continued, because
waterpipe burst told her she could have it
any way she wanted it, and do you know what
she said?" Jason shook his head "She said
she'd had stars dressing room once i
guess the only one she ever had - that had
walls covered in pink sateen, and that's what
she'd like"
Tears suddenly brimmed in Lily's lovely
violet eyes ''She was so sure I'd refuse" she
murmmed.
Jason leaped up. alarmed. Lilly, darling!
You mustn't let all this distress you So
II must, too" Lily quavered. I'm going
to get that pink sateen room if it's my last
act - for M-Minnie the MooseT
s"THEREr' said Lily, and waved her hand
airily. She had just thrown open the door to
the pink sateen room.
She had decided that none of the old ladies
should see it until it was all done, and now
as they clustered in the doorway their sighs
of pleasure their obs and abs and nervous
little gggles more than repaid her.

on trip to South America, so Lily had plenty
of time; also a cheque which Jason had amia-
bly, presented to exc out her budget.
She had had. of course first of all to cope
with the matron. Lily. who knew the type,
wasted no time in diplomacy. A folded bill
from palm to palm did the trick.
Then there was the hostility of the women
inmates; but Lily, wisely. let this ride.
1t had been extremely hard to find the
shade of ice cream pink Lily thought Minnie
had in mind; harder still to find laborers to
apply it. Once on the walls, the institutional
furniture was obviously impossible. Lily
solved this with pink satin headboard and
voluminous pink silk coverlet for the bed.
The ugly chest of drawers fitted easily into
the closet beside Minnie's meager wardrobe.
Lily added an unused rug from the Thorndyke
attic, couple of chairs and some lamps,
and finally small baroque dressing table
that she found in secondhand store and
couldn't possibly resist. The room, which
sounded 50 lurid in Minnie's description,
under Lily's deft hand acquired kind of
touching charm.
60 on in, Minnie" her cronies urged
Minnie the Moose advanced into the room
as if she were walking on eggs. She stood
quite still in the center her hands clasped.
She looked about to weep from sheer delight,
but all she said was, Gosh, amt it pretty!

busy on the phone. And possibly go out. It's
that damned Waldo Applegate."
But " why?"
He's disappeared. The office has lost all
track of him. I'm terribly worried If nothing
worse has happened to him, he's sure to be in
a dreadful mood"
Lily laughed lazily. Waldo is anything
but moody" she said. And anyway the
wires are down."
Wires? What'dye mean?"
This storm. And it's even worse in the
Berkshires"
What's Waldo got to do with the Berk-
shires?"
why, he's up there at our place. was
sure you wouldn't mind"
Evening star., 1946-03-10

What are you talking about?" Jason
looked puzzled.
sit down." urged Lily, land relax You
see it's kind of a long story. 1t all started
when Minnie the Moose set fire to the Home"
Jason said Nov, Lily
Eyes she did, poor dear"
why do you say poor dear? That's arson.
That's crime!'
Not with Minnie it wasn't 1t was just
normal reaction"
did she burn it to the ground? Was any
body hurt?"
"Oh no, she never meant to burn the house.
She had all the other old women organized
into brigade, with fire extinguishers and
buckets of water. 1t was just the room, you
see. That was before became chairman of
the Board"
Good grief! Are you the chairman now?"
he asked.
Lily nodded contentedly. 1T was some
thing of shock to the members - that poor
Minnie should feel 50 strongly. And when l
got at them one by one l found they were
quite human. It's only when they get to-
gether as a Board that they freeze into
block. Of course they had to expel Minnie,
but they won't prosecute. I'm so glad of that!
And luckily, Waldo says shell never have to
go back"
Start all over, will you?"
1T was this pink sateen room fixed for
Minnie The Board found it undignifed, said
it must be changed. Minnie couldn't bear it,
so she thought she'd burn it instead She
hasn't had anything that she cared about for
so long. And something said about Waldo's
seeing civilization going up in flames put it
in her head"
''How did Waldo get into this?" Jason in
quired.
''WELL, he came with me to the Home.
Then after the fire - it really didn't do much
damage because the matron discovered it -
we brought Minnie here and Waldo got to
talking to her He got all excited about her -
her life, mean. He says he's learned that
valid Americana can come out of Hell's
Kitchen as well as from the prairies or New
England village

would Lily got beautifully nowhere. At last
she sailed out, red spot of rage burning on
each exquisitely modelled cheekbone. She had
not only lost the battle for Minnie, she had
herself been definitely, if politely, sacked.
And Lily had never been sacked before. She
fumed and boiled over it all the way home.
"I1l get Uncle Edward, the Bishop, to
throw his weight around she plotted. I'll
make Jason cut off his contribution. After
all, the Thorndyke family donates plenty to
that place."
But in her heart she knew it was not
politics she wanted to play. She believed she
was right, and she wanted to make that COL
lection of stuffed shirts and bosoms admit it.
Waldo Applegate awaited her. 1t seemed
that Waldo was always awaiting her these
days. Lily gritted her teeth and contorted
her features into mask of hospitality. Thank
God, Jason would be home next week and
would take his Waldo under his wing again.
Then Minnie the Moose telephoned for the
second time.
MANHATTAN was doing it's best to act like
the North Pole. Jason, fresh off the plane
from South America that morning, thought
nostalgically of palm trees and rum swizzles
as he beat his way from the bus stop to his
home Cutting sleet blew into his face, and
piercing blasts assaulted his unprotected ear
drums, while his coattails danced with a
mawkish hilarity all their own.
He found Lily ensconced before fire in her
sitting room. She was wearing new violet
teagown, and her golden hair, swept up on
the top of her head, cleaned in the light of
the fire. Her little feet, in outrageously high
heeled slippers, toasted cozily on footstool
Jason scooped her up, and forgot about the
palm trees.
Darling, you're frozenr' cried Lily.
You're nose - ouch! And your poor ears.
Here, let me warm them" She covered them
with her hands.
Let's have dinner here in front of the
fire." Lily suggested presently. Il feel sort
of French farce-ish."
What kind of feeling is that, exactly?"
Jason queried. please elucidate I'm all ears!'

you mean Waldo is sVriting?" asked Jason
in an awed voice.
''Just like house afire." said Lily cheer
fully.
Jason handed Lily glass and picked up
his own.
ITO you, Lily" he smiled. "And trite as it
sounds, it comes from the bottom of my
heart"
''Oh no." said Lily happily, Ito Minnie

but meanwhile, one time won't hurt"
She lit a cigarette herself, though she de-
tested them, ooughed and sputtered. 'Never
you mind, dearie," said Minnie, they're
nasty things if you don't crave EN-"
Lily looked again at her watch Il must
fly" she said.
As she left the Home, she noticed stately
vintage limousine drawing up at the curb
But she paid it no heed, for by sheer good luck
she had spotted an empty cab.
WALDO APPLEGATE was an honest young
man. who took life bit too seriously for his
own peace of mind. Lily had been listening
patiently for quarter of an hour to his devas-
tating account of world affairs when Murphy,
the butler, appeared.
There's person on the phone to speak to
you who gives her name as Minnie, Madame"
Lily was puzzled. Minnie had never called
her before. But she went to the phone.
Come with me, will you, Waldo?" she
asked when she returned. 1--we got to 60 over
to the Home Something odd has happened
there"
Minnie the Moose was alone in the sitting
room. Its just like l told you," she said
woodenly 'The Board comes once year to
see the matron and get her report, and they
happened to come today. They never let her
know ahead She told them about the ciga-
rettes and they had fit But when they saw
my room, they nearly bust, the fools! They're
going to tear it all down.
We'll see about that" said Lily grimly.
Look, Minnie. this is Mr. Applegate, a nice
young man you ought to like. Talk to him
while go and investigate. He's had his pink
room torn down. too, you know, she added,
lapsing into one of her rare flights of fancy.
He saw civilization go up in f1ames," she
explained, to clinch it.
The matron, possibly because no further
greenbacks had been forthcoming, merely
shrugged II told you they wouldn't like it,
Ma am. There wasn't anything could do.
But they're holding a meeting of the Board
next Tuesday afternoon, if you want to talk
to them yourself"
LILY had never before confronted Board.
There was nothing to tell her that the six
howlingly respectable men and women seated
smugly around table might have been de-
cent and sympathetic if approached individ-
ually but that once welded into mass, they
were capable of any cruelty.

it's just what Minnie likes. What harm can
it do if she has it that way?"
Mr. Prescott, the chairman, cleared his
throat. Il don't think you quite grasp the
purpose of this Home, Mrs. Thorndyke. This
is a refuge for gentlewomen.
Then Lily made her fatal mistake. That's
what you think" she said hotly, because
you're fifty years behind the times. There
hasn't been so-called gentlewoman in your
Home since the turn of the century. What

official life under the late President
Coolidge on May 20, 1926, with an In

that day of Federal economies.
Today few of the 200 men and women
collected in the CAA's first year remain

taken since it began to emerge from

will travel over some 100000 miles of

with 5,782 who few in 1925 along routes
totaling only S,404 miles.
The 20-year increase in pilots from
1872 to at least 345,o0O, coupled with
release OF war-produced flying equip
ment, is putting pressure on the CAA to
get its newest job under way-the ad-
ministration of the $500 900 airport
authorization program sent to the White
House from Congress few days ago.
This measure, however, authorizes
rather than appropriates Federal-aid
funds. and even money for preliminary

this is subject for legislative and not
judicial consideration"
Chief Justice Marshall died in Phila-
delphia, where he had gone for medical
treatment, July 6, 1885, and his sue
cessor, Roger Brooke Taney, was con-
firmed in March, 1886.
Like his predecessor, Judge Taney re-
sided at James Cuthberts tavern on
the north side of Pennsylvania avenue
between Third and Fourth streets, and
later at Brenners, in the same vicinity.
BY 1860 he was residing in his own
home at 318 Indiana avenue, in what
was known as Blagden row, built by
Thomas Blagden in 1852 He died here
October II, 1864, the facts being re-
corded in The Star of October 13, as
follows:
The venerable Roger B. Taney, Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, breathed his last at his
residence on Indiana avenue, near
Third street, at 10 minutes to 10 o'clock
last evening, in the presence of his
family. Judge Taney had reached the
advanced age of 87 He had been in
i'll health for several years past, the
predominant disease which caused his
death being chronic affection of the
bowels. He did not, however take to
his bed until Monday week, and it was
then apparent that it was his last sick
ness
Judge Taney leaves five daughters,
four of whom-Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs.
Taylor, Mrs Campbell and Miss Taney-
were present at the time of his death,
together with his son-in-law, J. Mason

Shortly after o'clock the friends OF
the deceased commenced to assemble at
the late residence of the Chief Justice on
Indiana avenue near Third street, among
whom were President Lincoln, Secretary
Seward Attorney General Bates and
Postmaster General Dennison, and after
the family and friends had taken a last
look at the features of the deceased,
the lid of the coffin was closed and the
corpse was borne to the hearse by six
colored servants.

it must be gradually, wiped away. and

this necessary object may be attained.
And until it shall be accomplished, until

Other Justices Lived
In Historic d. G.. Homes
The residence of Chief Justice Sal
mon P. Chase, formerly at Col E street,
was for many years one of the historic
sites of the CITY, After the death of the
Chief Justice in New York. in 1873. and
before the removal of the old residence,
it had varied career. The site is now
occupied by parking station.
Justice Chase spent much of his early
life in Washington having moved here
in 1925, and opened classical school
for boys, directly after being graduated
from Dartmouth University. He studied
1880, later going to Cincinnati, where
he made his mark in the legal profess
sion. Chase was one of the great men
of his day and did much during the
Civil War toward preserving the Union.
The home of Morrison R. Waite, who
succeeded Judge Chase, was for many
years located at 14l5 street.
Melville w. Fuller, the next Chief
Justice, made his home in the Barber
mansion. which then stood in a we'll
wooded field beyond the northeast cor
ner of Florida avenue and Fourteenth
street. Later, in 1896, he bought the
Carroll House at 1901 F street, before
referred to- and here made his home
until his death in 1910.
