is"a" friendly s warning for e lady who swiped the umbrella at the matinee. It was a good um- brella that cost” “between six and seven dollars.” The owner dida’t pin herselt down to the exact amount; imagination requires latitude. Also, she must have had her innermost doubts or she wouldn’t have adver- tised its loss, but, you know—every- body knows—that it is always more comfortable to shift blame to other shoulders than our own; a little heritage from Father Adam. “I know she took it. darling”—she was con- fiding details to an entirely strapge Young woman, who listened with a gentle patience that matched her madonna eyes. “I know she took it, because she sat right next to me, and all she had to do was o reach out her hand and—I don’t see how & woman could do an un-Christian thing like that, do vou, dearest?. All I hope is the first time she raises it the lightning strikes her." Which seems to make it,advisable for any lady who has swiped an um- brella within the last week to pass it on to any enemy she may have on hand. Electric storms are lizble to be dangerous this time of vear. * ok & ¥ JELECTRIC lights starred the dusk that would soon leaden into night and the rows of shop windows bulging out from deserted stores looked like so many clocks with their works run down. To a passing wom- an the pavement seemed to be rest- ing trom the grind of many feet, and even the asphalt was taking a little nap until the next car came along. In the middle -of the _quiet a strange, fiddle-like wail floated out from a basement window mnot yet lighted, and.she paused to. wonder what it might mean. As if to wel- come her arrival, a horn tooted out a few bars, and then came a chorud of monastery chimes and sleigh bells, mingled in with deep booms of tragic melody from the bouy that rings for drowning mariners in a Hugo novel, and a tink, tink, tinkle from a temple on the Road to Mandalay. Then a woman's shriek that might mgan grand opera or murder was answered by a halloing baritone and the two were starting in on a duet when in rasped a convention of buzz-saws— awful— “Static trouble.” The information came from an old- ish man of the type that orators call a gentleman and a scholar, and the woman, too plain for any orator to bother about. acknowledged the .in- formation with a polite admission of that same, though all she knew. Der- sonally. about static trouble was through an oid lady she used to chap- eron to a place for static treatment for rheumatism. “Something wrong with the equip- ment.

I have written twice without arswer, and was on my way to the post office.” Even a woman that no orator would bother to describe may be allowed her fair share of understanding of the whims and fancies that beset her kind, so she took the letter, said to him; “Watch me,” and when she got to the mailbox lifted the flap and dropped the letter in. As she turned he was standing with his hat in his hand, a deeper shadow than the dusk | that was leadening into night. And the woman felt shat she had served as prologue to what might be a story of the prodigal son. & * ok k% CONVENTION brought to Wash- one critic who took home with him an opinion which he voiced to You build a and attendants “AROUND THE CITY- By Nannie Lancaster another man as they were walting for their train: ““There's enough waste land around this stailon to supply free potatoes to every poor family in the vicinfty. with enough left over to help Russia out, but all going to grass.

A little rich widow from the south- west oil section was attired ina flam- ing chiffon, and her sole conversation consisted of “Oh! 1 just love these Bo- hemian gatherings.” There were three girly girls, all with cut halr,” sweaters and tweed with_fringe at the bottom, near hose think actors like to talk about them- selves, you ought to listen to this bunch. With them their first name is ‘I the middle name Is ‘me’ and the last name is L' I gather that the cousin person of yours has been bit- ten by this bug, and I lay you odds of five to one that before you get out of here tonight she ‘will get up on the middie of the floor and tell of the wonders of some new ‘lsm’ or “logy’ that she has been dabbling in lately.” And really the man was correct, for about 10 o'clock Ethelind Elizabeth undulated out to the middle of the floor and commenced her little speech. It wasn't three minutes ‘before she was going at full steam shead, head up, nostrils distended and arms going ltke a pinwheel. You talk sbout Mme. Blavatsky, James Owen O'Conner, G. Bernard Shaw and Eddie Foy, why all of them put together and framed into a com- posite human being couldn't have touched our little cousin from the middle west. She juggled auras, rip- ped up complexes, disturbed plans and trified with reactions until she had that whole bunch gasping for breath and hanging on the ropes. She started in with Adam and Eve, to say nothing of the serpent,- and Cain and Abel, and she described their mental insides with a fluency that | would have made Diogenes think that i he had remained tongue-tied from the time of birth. She galloped down the passageway of time taking & right swing at Ptolemy, slinging an upper- cut at Julius Caesar, and by way of good measure gave a kidney punch to Napoleon. What she said about-Glad- stone and Lloyd George, to sgy noth- ing of éur own Secretary of State, would not be permitted even in the handbooks of a non-partisan party. * % % % To' the unsophisticated onlooker it appeared that she had reached her climax and was about to blow but such was far from being the because then she lit info modern day civilization and you could just hear the social fabric rip. Where you and I and the rest of us used to think ‘we were some sort of pumpkins when it came to a matter of education, she just naturally placed us in the below- nothing and going-downward class. Why, if you men'today are as ig- norant of the higher things as Cousin ‘Ethelind Elizabeth says you are, Dr. Eliot will have to change his five- foot book shelf and make it extend a distance equal to that from here to the north star. Why, if any of the ‘Washington base ball pitchers had a delivery near as good as that of E. E., the capital would have the pen- nant cinched, as it would need only one run to capture the bunting. But while she deplored the down- ward trend of- civilization, in her closing words she came forward with a little cure-all—namely, membership in the cult of which she was the high priesteas. Belleve it or believe it not, every last one of those dyed-in- the-wool-Bohemians rose and, with a salvo of “Bravos,” cried for an in- itiation blank. If either of the great parties to be locked in a death strug- gle this fall can grab off Cousin E. E. and syndicate her throughout the doubtful states, the one that gets her will need a flock of adding machines ‘to ‘count up the majority. I wanted to take a taxi, as I felt must be rather fatigued, but what 0 you think she sald? 'Twas thus: SAfter a quiet little evening like this, I would like to walk through one’of your parks, as the night air always inspires me with thoughts of the greater coming. 'Tis at this fime that the moon and stars cast a great- er inflyence for elevation and rid one of asotic hases.” Would you believe it that the fair exponent of higher things, that searcher for Bohemia, galloped me around the park for an hour or more until the point was al- | most reached where in self-defense I ‘was on the point of communing with tiie tree tomds in order to get a min- ‘ute’s rest when she suddenly decided to. go_home and tell Mary whit & splendid evening we had had, which he proceeded §o do. ° Go to work next day?

Driven to desperate ends, I appealed to my fellow clubmen to find Bohemia for gentle E. E., but to no avail. “Bohemia, wherefore are thou?” Bohemia, that blessec realm of hap- piness, comradeship and devotion to art one knew it in the days of long ago, consisted not of a lot of indolent creatures, seeking to find something freakish, but that which meant true fellowship, the sharing with each other the last crust or giving the last centime to help an un- fortunaate brother while studying music or painting. The comradeship that was fostered by cramped quar- ters and slimmer purses, that com- radeship made sweeter by adversity. It was_upon these conditions that Bohemia was founded, but in this, the day of strict commercialism, Bohemla is but a memory, and while there may be one or two isolated cases of that old condition existing in Washington today, Bohemia in the Capftal city occuples the same position that the girafte in the circus did when the rTustic looked at it and said: “Gosh, there ain’t no such animal” Handkerchiefs.

We have lacemakers whose production may well be compared with the lacemakers of early centuries in Europe. We have weavers and carvers and modelers who are turning out production of a high order of artistic merit. Furthermore, we are awakening to a realization of the value of such work, not merely mn dol- lars and cents, but in satisfaction and pleasure. The individual who creates a beautiful object takes unto himself or herself a certain dignity and self-assur- ancs which carries with it both satistac- tion and enjoyment. Furthermore, it has been proved by scientists and those of the medical pro- fession that fullest development is ob= tained by 'combining activities of the hand with those of tae brain. Moreover, the introduction of handicrafts in the rural districts, offering possibilities for remunerative work in the home in spare times, has proved a tremendous boon to the women of -tlese sections of our country, and it is remarkable what measure of efficiency has been attained by them, This is undoubtedly the age of the machine, but machine work can never take the place of that produced by trained craftsmen. * % £ ¥ Last autumn a business building on the corner of L street and Connecti- cut avenue owned by Judge Hitz was remodeled to afford exhibition gal- leries and studios ynder ‘'the direct supervision of Mrs. Hitz, who named it the Art Center. Therein, during the past winter, a series of inter- esting and unusual exhibitions ha: been held, including not only paint ings, but also etchings, prints, sculp- ture, fabrics and handicrafts. At Mrs, Charles M. Ffoulke's resi- dence a meeting was Tecently held by a few of those interested in art, with the purpose of organizing the Art Center activities and devising means whereby the building could be further utilized for the promotion of art. Mrs. Hitz has for some years been particularly interested in the de- velopment of handicrafts, having noted when in Sweden the excellent way in | which such work there was organized. At the meeting at Mrs. Ffoulke' she outlined the Swedish method and proposed a similar organization in this country, suggesting the estab- lishment in cities throughout the United States of art centers to Serve as markets, and later, perhaps, an ex- tension of the system to cities throughout the world. Thus, as she aptly put it, “through the work of This time the response | the patient hands of the worker, to her appeal was not as great, and {there would be a hamdclasp around the world, and, through art, would be formed the true league of nations.” Her plea was that in_this circling of the world by art hington should take the lead, establishing in its Art Center a permanent exhibit of the-arts of all nations, with the purpose of creating a mutual under- standing of the nations’ ideals and of teaching visually the results through art of the “pursuit of hap- piness” and peace, Tt * * k% Announcement has been made that Sir Joshua Reynolds' famous painting, “Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse,” s0ld at the same time that the “Blue Boy” was sold in London, has like- wise been purchased by Henry .

The ‘sale of thesetwo paintings, it i Art Gallery. will be remembered, by the Duke of ‘Westminster to the Duveens for the sum of approximately $1,000,000 created a sensation last winter. It was thought then that the Reynolds portrait would go to a French collec- tor, but it, too, has found its way to Californ!a. Mr. Huntington has lately declared his intention of giving to the public his entire art collection, which in- cludes not only these, but several noted Gainsboroughs Romneys, as well as his library, the finept in the world, which contains some of the most precious manuscripts and first editions in existence. Enough money. will go with the treasure; which are valued at several million of dollars, to support them and keep the collections intact for all time.
