SIMPLICITY IS CHARM
WILl TO KEEP IN MIND WHKN
ORDERING GRADUATION DRESS.
The Mor* Girlish the Frock, the Bet-
, tcr Will .the Wrarcr Apprar, and
There Are Many Materials to
Select From.
Olrllnh simplicity Is the correct
thing In graduation frockR— even the
most ambitious of Fraduates recog-
nl7.pt< that fact. Cut there are many
versions of this simplicity, and it. is
nitaliidbln'flt. varying prices niM dif-
ferent degrees of elaboration.
It. is easy enough to make a distinct-
ly girlinh frock of sheer linnerlo or
nut, or lace and chiffon cost. $l.p,0 or
$200, if one goes to u fashionable
dressmaker for It and gives carte
blanche in matters of handwork and
real lace, and there are many glrU
in ultra smart boarding schools who
have ordered frock.i of ibis type. But
the great host of girl graduates is by
necessity limited to a less costly va-
riety of frock simplicity, and after all.,
the indefinable charm attached lo
youth has more to do with the success
of a graduation frock than hand tucks
and real lace.
There are quantities of models and
materials available for the ynuthfitl
graduate. The materials most, in fa-
vor are Hno cotton marquisette, cot-
ton voile, fine linen lawns, lace, net
and chiffon. >
The most, practical of graduating
frocks Is, of course, the frock that
will stand tubbing and look well after
I ho ordeal. Fine lingerie frocks are
nowadays more often sent to the clean-
er than to the laundress, but. the young
girl Is not as a rule over careful of
her clothes and if a frock must go t.
the cleaner often during the summer
one will have little comfprt. from it.
Perhaps the summer is to be spent
where no cleaning establishment is
close at. hand and inconvenience Is
added to the time and expense en-
tailed.
It. stands to reason therefore that,
the frock actually fitted for tubbing is
the practical dress for the girl whose
wardrobe is limited, and it is quite
possible to take this into consideration
without sacrificing loo much upon the
altar of utility.
A fine ilnon is the most, satisfactory
material for the lingerie frock that Is
to endure tubbing, and it will pay to
obtain an excellent quality. Batiste,

Mrs. Martin Tells About Painful
Experience that Might Have
Ended Seriously.
Itlresvllle, W. Va.~-Mrs. Dora Martin,
In r letter from ltlvesvllle, writes:
"For three years, I suffered with wo
manly troubles, and had pains In my
hack and side, T was nervous am*i
could not sleep at nlr.ht.
The doctor could not help me, Ilr
•aid I would have to be operated on be
fore I could get better. 1 thought I
would try using Cardul.
Now, I am entirely well,
I am suro Cardul savrd my life. I
will nover be without Cardul in ntj
home. I recommend It to my friends,"
For nrty years, Canlnl has been re
Moving pain and dislrrru caused by wo-
manly trouble. It will surely help yon.
It goes to the spot—reaches the
trouble—relieves the symptoms, and
drives away tho cause.

Tolles and marquisettes are softer and
launder wc.1l If carefully handled, but
llnon will outwear them every time.
The cotton marquisettes, cotton
voiles and crapes are more recent, ar-
rivals and have achieved decided pop-
ularity, and a very large percentage of
the cotton graduating frocks tills year
we being made up in these materials.
They launder well, ere easily hand-
led, are very soft, and graceful, and
durable despite their shcerness and
lend themselves admirably to slmpla
forms of trimming, although thf y may
•be niadn very elaborate with hand em-
broidery.
The cotton crapes In really good
quality are attractive ..materials and
are enjoying a preat vogye, both for
blouses and tub frocks. It. is said that
they require no Ironing and are very
practical on that account, put latin-
riref.Hes insist that they are by no
menus easily laundered, as tkiey re-
quire stretching and more or less care-
ful pressing in got them inio the right
shape after laundering
Kn'hioldet'ed cotton voiles ami mar-
qnlsiltes make attractive graduating
froe'Ks and in ail the shops where
youthful dresses are shown one finds
quantities of attch frocks made of such
material.

ORDER CAUSES A BOYCOTT
Women Clerk* of Treasury Depart-
ment Forbidden to Do Cook'ing
During Lunch Hour.
Rlnce Mr. Mnc\'engh became secre-
tary of tho treasury lie has been a
ureat stickler for sanitary conditions
In the treasury and other bulldingB un-
der his department. Inspectors from
the public health service made many
rounds, followed by recommendations
for more healthful offices for the em-
ployes, and many of the suggestions
were adopted.
One suggestion was that an order
he issued forbidding women clerks lo
do any cooking, even prohibiting brew-
ing tea, boiling coffee or making co-
coa. The order was promulgated.
There was a 'near riot, especially
among the older women, who for years
and years had been bringing their
luncheons and using gas jets to boil
ten or coffee.
Matters were soon made worse by
an order against bringing and eating
lunches. This was top much. Secre-
tary MacVeagh had lo lift, the ban on
lunches, but he stuck to the prohiblton
against cooking In the office rooms. To
overcome the objection of the women
he established a splendid lunchroom,
with coffee and lea making utensils,
tables, chairs, and so forth. Now he
Is wondering at the perversity of.
women. Tho lunchroom is absolutely
shunned.

SUGGESTS A NEW FEATURE
Move to Reassemble Former Real-
donta of the White Houae for in-
auguration: Celebration.,
The presence at. the capital of Mrs,
Frances Pols.om ,Cleveland and Miss
Ksther Cleveland, widow and daugh-
ter of the former president, and of
Mrs. Ilenjamiu Harrison, also the
widow of a president, lias inspired the
tea table gossips with the idea that
It. would be perfectly lovely to have
a grand reassembling of the White
House families. as. a distinctive fea-
ture of the forthcoming inauguration
celebration.
Washington has been going about
the past few days wondering if Its
"history was on straight" and the
harking back to former limes has
brought, the names of many former
residents of the While House to the
tip of the tongue.
I.ost May, when the women of the
national Democracy got up their
famous Dolly Madison breakfast, they
brought together a score or more de-
scendants of Democratic presidents,
Jeffprson, Madison, Monroe, Tyler and
Cleveland being among the number.
With' the partisan element eliminated
there would be a large and interest-
ing group of men and women to call
upon and the presence of these mem-
bers of White House families would
he bound to add much to the inaugu-
ration fetes.
Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Harrison
and Mrs. James A. (larfleld, who
makes her home In California, form
a trio of widows pf presidents. Presi-
dents' daughters include besides Miss
Taft, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Miss
Ethel Roosevelt, Mrs Stanley Brown
(formerly Miss Garfield), Mrs. Mclveo
(formerly Miss Nellie Harrison), and
Mrs. Krank II. .lottcs of Chicago (for-
merly Mrs. Neliio Grant SartorlB).
Sons and daughters of the late
President and Mrs.. Hayes are still
living. Abraham Lincoln's children in-
clude' Robert. Tijdd i Lincoln of Chicago.
President Arthur has a married daugh-
ter living lp New York, ami the late
President Garfield has several sons.
Jesse Grant, and his sister-in-law-.
Mrs. Frederick Dent .tSrant, widow of
President Oram's eldest sou, and
thfll' children would form a most in-
teresting grotjp. President. Tyler's
son, John Tyler, and his family are
living in Virginia, which state could
furnish a goodly list of Jeffer onlun
descendants.

In the Early Evening Every Bird
Seems to Be Charging That the
Other Fellow Has Got His
Bed or Perch.
When tho winter sun is red low
over the Arlington hills a great many
persons passing
along the north
side of Pennsyl-
vania avenue be-
tween Thirteenth
and Fourteenth
streets crane their
necks to look up
In tho young piano
trees growing
there. They liavo
caught the sound
of a furious fuss
and feathers and
the quarrelsome
and garrulous
chatter and clat-
ter of a thousand sparrows. The spar-
rows are making ready for their
night's rest and evidently are debat-
ing as to which twigs they will oc-
cupy. Every bird seems to be charg-
ing that the other fellow has got his
bed, or perch. There is a good deal
of hopping to and fro, fluttering hith-
er and thither and general confusion.
It cannot be that the birds are wish-
ing each other good night and happy
dreams. They cannot even he saying
their evening prayers. Their tones
of voice indicate the contrary. They
seem to be saying something like:
"Get off the twig, curses on you, or 1
will throw you into the street below.
Here I have been hustling around the
streets all day grubbing for an oat
here and a crumb of stale bread there,
and coming homo for rest I find some
scurvy sparrow on the branch I re-
served last night."
"Why," chatters another sparrow.
"I've been sleeping on that twig every
night for the last week, and you,
avian rat, want to jump my claim. I'll
quarrel about it till the sun goes down
and I'll keep the whole roost awake
before I give up to you."
And so it goes till the sun has gone
down behind the Arlington hills and
the great lights and the garish cig-
aretto and strong drink signs glow
along the avenue.
A man looking up in the trees at
night will see hundreds of little feath-
er balls, all motionless. They are
sparrows rolled up In their gray and
brown clothes. Not a sound comes
from the tree, unless it bo the winter
wind singing weirdly through the dry
brnnclies, until some green and gray
rose light begins to come into the sky
above the Anacostla hills. Then tlie
twittering and hopping and shaking
and airing or feather beds begins. All
the birds aro talking, but in a better
humor than the night before. They
seem to be saying, "How did you steep
lust night?" "How bright you are
looking" and "Where are you going
for breakfast?" "Will we have cereal
for breakfast?" asks one bird, and
another answers, "Wo will if we can
And it."
One little bird Is saying: "Did the
noise of the avenue cars keep you
awake last, night?" and another an-
swers: "No, but the theater crowds
passing under this tree near midnight
made me flutter once or twice."
Then a little gray lady sparrow says
to a gallant gentleman sparrow with
a gray coat and a brown vest: "Oh,
dear, but 1 had u horrid nightmare
last night; I dreamed of cats and I
was powerless to fly!"
Gradually the birds drop down Into
Ihe avenue and begin skirmishing for
breakfast.
Between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets there are nine plane trees on
the north side of the avenue. Tho
third, fourth and seventh trees count-
ing from tho east are the popular
trees, for some reason which only the
birds could tell, but because of the
crowded condition of those trees
there Is some overflow reaching into
tho first tree and into the Tast side
branches of the eighth. It seems a
noisy place for birds to select as a
rest or a roost, but the Rambler as-
sumes that, the sparrows know what,
they want in the way of lodgings bet-
ter than ho does.
Hits at Dissipation.
Maj, Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of
staff of tho army, recently promul-
gated an order throughout the mili-
tary servlco requiring that nil officers
and enlisted men who "shall be ab-
sent from duty on account, of disease
resulting from his own intemperate
use of drugs or alcoholic liquors or
other misconduct" shall forfeit his
pay for the period during which he
Is ttnnble to perform his regular du-
ties. Tliis order is In accordance
with legislation in ihe army appro
prlation bill of this year. It Is in
lino with the efforts of the war de-
partment, and especially of the sur-
geon general, in reduce the amount of
dissipation iti the army.
Big Sum Needed for Inquiry.
It will cost the government $110,000

UNTRUE FIGURES OF SPEECH
If Metaphorical Phrases Were Taken i
Literally One Might Very Easily
Be Embarrassed.
No situation is more difficult to deal
with than that in which a tlgurn of
speech becomes a fact. I mean that
when we have bewi using a phrase
truly, but in its general and rnela-
phorical sense, we are rather embar-
rassed than otherwise if we find that
It is true even in its strict and literal
sense. There does not seem to bo
anything more to say. Suppose you
heard a family remark casually. "It's
madness in papa to go to Norway!"
And suppose the next instant papa
sprang into the room through a
smashed window, with straws in ills
hair and a carving knife, and howled
aloud: "Ubbubboo! I'm going to Nor-
way!" The incident would be discon-
certing. It would not be easy to
pursue the subject.
Or suppose we said to some stately,
silver-haired woman who was annoy-
ed: "1 thinlc it childish ,of you to
take offense so easily." And suppose
she sat down suddenly on the floor
and hegan to scream for her doll and
her skipping rope. We would be' at.
a loss. Words suited to the situa-
tion would not easily suggest them-
selves.
Or, if a wife said to her husband,
apropos of a luxurious friend to
whom he gave expensive, dinners:
"He's simply robbing you," her re-
marks would be cut short, rather
than further encouraged, by the
sight, of the friend climbing out of
the window with the silver teapot un-
der his arm. The wife would liavo
the extremely unpleasant sensation of
having said the worst thing she could,
and having nothing more to say.
Cases, of course, could he multi-
plied infinitely; as the case of one
who, entering a lodging house, should
say "Rats!" in disparagement of its
praises, and find himself Instantly
surrounded by those animals; or one
who should remark, "Uncle Joseph has
Inst his head over this," and should
then find him decapitated in the gar-
den.—G. K. Chesterton, in the Illus-
trated London News;
Bedtime Story From Tom Morgan.
Johnny Chuck had a pain in his
head. Yes, sir,, that is exactly what
Johnny had in his head. You see,-
Sammy Jay hung Johnny Chuck up
on the venerable wheeze which every-
body but Johnny had heard long, long
ago, viz.: "How much wood would
a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck
would chuck wood?" Now, Johnny is
the sort of a chucklehead that takes
