Washington's two streét railway companles were arrayed against each other at the District building today when the Public Ujilities Commission held a public hearing on the petition of the Washington Railway and Electric Company to establish a motor bus line from 17th and 18th streets into Potomac Park. ‘ The company proposed to install bussgs in lieu of through car service now being operated from Wisconsin avenue to Potomac Park.

Another exclusive sec- tion lay from 12th to 14th street, on the upper side of K. But a charming portion of the city was the West End, between 17th and 21st streets, south of the Ave- nue. In 1892 or thereabout, died the Baroness Grabow, a grand-daughter of President Zachary Taylor, and formerly Miss Nina Wood, a great belle and beauty of this neighborhood. The tone of pre-war society was southern, informal and innocent of millionairishness. Good family was the great thing; the small “cave-dwell- ing” circle was not easy to break fnto, and the receptions of 1860 were more like a social function, and less like a mob trying to get into a street car. Mrs. Senator Gwin of Cali- fornia, husband of the man who wanted to be Duke of Sonora, probably was the pioneer in so-, cial splufges. The Great Gwin Ball of 1858 was a fancy dress affair, and I doubt whether any- thing since has gone it one better. In those days there was no such thing as a society column, and if a lady’s name was men- tioned even pleasantly in print a white-hot male relative would shout at the night editor, “What the devil do you mean by put- ting my Caroline in the paper?” But after the Gwin ball, “Let no guilty society person escape” became the password of the - and a man who had “pinked his ad- t .on versary” was likely to have a reputa- tion that kept him from being “mon- keyed with.,” A Washington corre- spondent, a foreigner who wrote for a New York paper, referred to a cer- tain young southern man as “a per- son,” whereupon the offended youth set out to shoot the newspaper writer on sight; His friends succeeded in restraining him, but he wrote the editor of the paper that if an apology were not printed in the next issue he would come over to New York and shoot the editor! Sure enough, on the following day a beautiful retrac- tion was published. By the way, I attended the mar- riage of Mr. Bouligny, a member from Louisiana, and Miss Parker, daughter of a wealthy Washington grocer. President Buchanan was a guest at the gorgeous house wedding at the Parker place, with its roses, lilies, fountains and special lighting, A crimson curtain was pulled aside and a bridal tableau disclosed. That crimson curtain, I happened to know, was purchased at the new and well considered dry goods estab- lishment of Lansburgh & Brother, who were the innovators in Wash- ington of the first-class service that we now take as a matter of course, Well, my. boy, there is a crimson curtain of age between 1922 and 1860, when Lansburgh & Brother began to do business on 7th street; boop- skirted ladies had to enter single- file the portals of the store, men wore creaseless trousers, and the police re- serves were not called out if the male species sported a fancy colored waist- coat. Yet, after all, here are you and I; the young and the old, hobnobbing together comfortably over a pipe; so that the crimson curtain is easily pulled aside. It is the same old world, and the store of Lansburgh & Brother—the “first Washington dry goods shop par excellence—continues to answer every most modern, mod- ish need with promptness and effi- ciency, and also with the old-time courtesy of 1860. : of the Georgetown Citizens’ Ass tion testified. & The Cathedral Heights Citizen: socttion led the fight for retention of the through service from Wiscon- sin avenue to the city, and made the further request that the company be required to restore through service from that section to the Union sta- tion.

He said the com- m ‘s desire i§ to have all five cars - ate at Witconsin avenue and The Georgetown citizens red for the Company bandon its at th . When William P. Killeen, president of the transi pany. took the stand to testify for the new route from Grant Circle to 14th and Buchanan, Samuel R. Bowen, attorney for the Washington Rail- way and Electric, put to him the question: “Mr. Killeen, if this proposed route should prove noncompensatory, would you have to abandon it as you are now doing on Massachusetts avenue. Mr. Killeen replied that he woull not.
