Kem- | who has been in THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MARCH 22, AROUND THE CITY ‘ By Nannie MAN and three friends came here for the inauguration parade and to see he sights of the city. Their travels, for one turn, brought them to a desk where they paused for a chat instead of following others of the party through a white building, high in the air, where machines clatter and many wheels go around The man talked in sign language with one of his companions and kept a_protecting hand on the shoulders of another, who was blind. The third, a lively 'little woman, youthfully pretty as to face, might have been twin to that Jenny Wren whose “back was bad and whose legs were queer” —and who was the motor power of the visit, in that she felt a woman could better understand her desire to have her poems published and how to get it done. After a bit of a chat the men passed on to catch up with the others, but Jennle Wren lingered for Information, and having harvested the little the woman at the desk could tell her, gave a sociable outline of her im- mediate crowd: “We belong young fellow in Philadelphia. The who [s blind is my brother, who lost his sight in the war. We are broken up over it, but he never complains; says he was lucky to be fighting for the Govern- ment and get a pension instead of being a burden on the home folks but we know how he must feel, be- cause he was making good as an architect, and loved evervthing that was true to line. The deaf one is & friend who lost his hearing by de- grees. You notice what a pleasant face he has, always smiling except once in a while he breaks up over some little thing like not hearing leaves rustle or the patter of rain, but the only one he tells about it is the friend who is bringing him." Pretty soon her party came back, chattered and chuckled a little, and then went out into the unknown with- out the girl saying a word ahout her own drawbac You. notice that humanity fusses noisily over its small troubles, but the bra with which each man and woman of us bears real affliction is nothing short of sublime. And as their voices were lost in the distance of a long corridor that legds to everywhere, it seemed to the desk woman that of that cheerful broken three, the suffering she could most understand and feel for was that sister, Mrs. LeHew. Mrs. Chinn will return home with Mr. and Mrs. Bra- den. Mrs. Willlam F. Lewis and her voung son, Billy Lewis, have returned from a visit to relatives in Richmond.

Gompf. {in a prohibition Lancaster: which had shut out the patter of rain In Summer time and the gentle rustle o leaves—and vet it s all right, some- how, or it wouldn't be. Tk SHE s old and poor and lonely— @ three-ply tragedy of life, scarcely worth recording, seeing that there are so many and many who are lonely and old and poor—but anyhow: She has just got the better of a spell of lllness, and is working over- hard to pay the cost of it. And It is because of her few chances that she becomes pathetically garrulous when she finds some one sympathetic enough to listen in: “Yes'm, I've been mighty sick, and now I'm up, I haster work so awful hard, I can scurcely stan® on my feet''— over and over again, until the sym- pathetic listener wedged In a word of advice: “That's too bad! Wouldn't it be bet- ter for you to take a place that paid less, but where the work would be easfer?” “Nome, It is better to die payin’ biils than to live owln’ ‘em.” And it any of those multitudinous beings, from Aesop to Poor Richard, who colned adages and put them in books for the rest of the world to buy, could kindly step forward, it would be a pleasure to introduce them to this local daughter of a vanlshing rac who can beat them at their ow game without giving a thought to th spotlight. . * ¥ % * SHE was as buoyantly fresh as the Spring breezes of her own Cabin John. And she had brought a sheaf of pussy willow catkins to a woman she had never lald eves on, which shows she was kindly clear through. With the gift went a little ad- monition not to put the catkins in water—just leave them dry and they would keep their silvery sheen indefi- nitely. So the recelver put the sheaf vase—and loved them. When she returned to her office next morning there were the pussy willows in a big glass jar—redeemed pastepot—each stem clearly defined in the gallon of crystal-clear water. Which shows, proof positive, that one Janitor, anyhow, is goilng to heaven when he dles—counting by good In- tentlons. The first thing the woman did wi to shake the catkins'free of water and put them back in the prohibition vase. While she was doing it a col- league peeped In for a morning's greeting, but changed her program Into one of protest: “Why have you taken those pussy willows out of the water? Put them right back again.” The owner sald she couldn't—the nice visitor who had given them to her told her that pussy willows must be kept,dry.” “And let them shrivel up and ruin their velvety silver? Al right, if you are going to lose them, anyhow, give me a few stems.” She went out with three stems, for the reason that two only means a couple, and she had sald “a few'—a fact which she casually mentioned while the distribution was going on Then another colleague looked In for a word of morning cheer, and at sight of the catkins, voiced that best known word in all language “Gimmie.” The owner passed over one stem— just one stem—but it failed to satisty: “Don’t be so mean—wmake it two more.” In view of the fact that the gimmie one never fails to share flowers right along, from Christmas holly to latest Autumn dahllas, the owner of the catkins passed over two more stems Just two. Other visitors meant other varie- ties of arguments as to the keeping of catkins—and the consequent pass- ing over of stems, until the sheaf had dwindled down to 10. Returning trom luncheon the woman found a penciled scrawl tipped agalnst the Volstead vase—with most of the pussy willows gone. And the scrawl said: ‘Dear old thing: I know you would want me to have all, but I leave a little for you to remember me by '— and so on. Pussy willows on a desk are lovely, but not so safe as at home. So the owner took her four stems to a little place she calls her shrine, and where there is a crucifix and a small figure of the Virgin and a little plcture of One who died. And now she knows that the Cabin John giver was right Mi: Marguerite Dav who has been in Alexandria for a year, left Sunday for Warrenton, where she will spend several months, Mre.
