THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SEPTEMBER 7, 1924—PART 1. ; e N b e A e = AROUND THE CITY By Nannie well—and sometimes surprising—to see ourselves as others sce us—with this chance for illustration: A quite promi- nent clubwoman has in her Kitchen one of those dear and vanish- Ing beings—an old-time cook from the South. Recently, some members ©f her club with the lady to plan out work for the year and, haturaity, there ‘were spirited con- flicts of opinions that at one point called for the @oatrman's gavel —just a friendly reminder—all of which was follow ed by a talk, in which an earnest, Eesticulating member was in- terrupted by ap- plause and’op ing view You know all about it Later on, the hostess explained to her cook that she had invited the Jadies to tuke supper with her Sun- day night. and wouldn't Lindy make her very best waffles—and. for once, show these Washington folks what real chicken gra tastes like. But, as the dusky genius from the cotton belt just stood there, brown and ominously lent, with her head and hips swaying. as if keeping time to @ dirge, the lady interrupted herself 1o exciaim: “Why, Lindy, wh I thought you lik ©ooking praised. Lindy did “Cose Alym gwine cook a good sup- per, becawes that's the onliest kind but, Ah tell you righ s the matter? Tell me . whar 1| s goes a able an’ chil- what never bounce up an’ d'en an’ husban's sorter suv the. nair one of ‘em dop holler out what she w s bett what that othah lady wants when you has to stan’ up in vo house an’ theaten to knock ' Wwiv a wood hammer—my body!

Also. we know that self-satisfied at- tainment means rust, and that rust means failure, and that, nationally, we know no such word as fail—still and all—it isn't healthy to know more than the law allows. For one case, a woman in u car was providing thrills for a woman next and whoever else was near enough to listen—and, of course, everybody listens on a street car. Through some inscrutable source of information she had learned that the world is coming to an end on Sep- tember 12—Mars being the villian to do the deed, with Defense day as an appropriate occasion. The other woman had her doubts. The bearer of news was so sure ot her signs that she was on her way to cash her bond and take her savings out of the bank and pin them inside her dress for safekeeping. The doubter inquired as to the sense of taking raw money into .a world where it wasn't wanted, when it was earning interest here. This of the financial situation had eight. ell, that’s so. There’ll be $6.35 coming to me in January, only there isn't going to be any January—isn't it awful—almost enough to pay in- terest on my iot.” “And, besides, shrouds pockets. This valuable, though unsolicited statement was supplied by a serio- comic passenger who was listening in. The woman appreciated the re- minder, and voiced a change of plans: “That's so. 1 guess I better let the money be and just cash a little check I beener saving for a tight time I read the other day that things are going to be easier after the campaign. T wful hard to have to go without us knowing who would be if the world had kept on. we gotter go, all of us. There'll * % * & have no can come across nothing better? And, it 50 be the proper study of mankind is man—is there any law against counting in women? * K k% \ T is the “railroad man's” opinion that being a good fellow, even to your own twin, doesn’t pay—and he tells this bit to prove it: A former Washington pastor, who has been called to a New England parish, returned, with his wife and eight-year-old twins, for a vacation here. Like other twin girls, they dress alike, look alike and act alike, and when asked about their school in the new home, they said they were in the same room and that the teacher could not tell which was which ex- cept by their location in the school- room. “And.” explained Frances, “some- times, when I don’t know my lesson, Pauline will trade seats with me, ‘cause she most always knows it.” “Yea,” chipped in Pauline, “and if the teacher happens to ask you about the lesson you don't know, I get marked ‘poor.’ " It is a comforting thing to know that virtue is its own reward—seeing it is usually the only reward it ever gets. * ¥ k% N used-to-be times, when you walk- ed along in the twilight, you were pretty~ sure to come across a man who looked like a deeper shadow than the shadows around. Every time the man came to a street lamp he would shift a small ladder from his back, a rain of fire, and after our s are burned to ashes, some of ill go up in chariots and some of s will be weepin’ and gnashin’ their teeth. All the signs are sure—a gent- man friend was telling me the par- ticulars last night.” The serio-comic another remark: passenger made ket, on Satdy, I could put 'em up in time. in Bumminhum never | heard waflles an’ chicken | ‘thout quince peserves in glass dishes | ofe sides de table.” Having viewed herself in the ireak | mi torted imagina- tions an the clubwoman | promised quinces ht, some lucky and duly ub mem- bers are going selves in the Birmingham, Ala., qu by sitting around, peacef every last crumb of waflles hick- | en has gone bye-bye—along with | Guince prescrves in glass dishes on | bofe sides de table And, doubtless, Lindy, from the cot- ton belt, will feel called upon to change her mind.

Progress has now turned the job over to anybody with gumption enough to poke a stick at an auto- matic jet, and with legs warranted to cover a beat. It is more satis- factory than the old style, but, some- way, no matter how pertly efficient some youngster is who pokes and trots and whistles through the stunt, your mind's eye still sees that old- time gray shadow of a lamplighter who has gone to the place we call the past—and taken his stand with life's left-overs—along with buggies and velocipedes and,candles and black mammies and dreams. And, also, pet- ticoats and hairpins. * ok ok ¥ WOMAN'S two-week leave with pay was over, and she waited in a hammock for the bus to come down the road and take her back to dicta- tion. It was a way-off green place with a mountain for a neighbor and a stream that rippled across fields to a spring under a tree. Birds were singing and chickens clucking and on the other side of the fence baby pigs were we weeing around precisely like those other little pigs that went to market, except that they were lucky enough A To Sweeten Stomach Regulate Bowels Zoart Tt t Rooms and ly. bra—Ei ooms and Bath.

And there was the restfulness of thedeep country that God had made in con- trast to the man-built town. An all- over gense that she had been, for a little while, living where dreams come true, made the woman sigh at first sight of the bus as it lumbered into view. " Just to give a human glow to the scenlc charm, & woman came to the hammock holding a postal card she had just taken from her malil box— Route 3.
