The poor little giraffe’s long neck! ‘Washington children just can’t get it out of their heads. When they think of the coming stranger they little attention to his other points, but concentrate on that neck. They seem to believe that the neck is the giraffe. Only a few of them are thinking about his pretty spotted coat, his slendor, graceful legs or his mild, playful disposition. Remember that that giraffe is one of the very best, inoffensive, law- abiding inhabitants of jungle town. He isn't a roaring, blustering roust- about like the lion nor a furtive, sneaking highwayman like the tiger. Quite to the contrary, he is a perfect He minds his own busi- ness, keeps to his own home and tamily as much as possible and never willingly hurts any other living crea- ture. Neck Just an Accident. After all, his neck is just an accl- dent. It makes him look grotesque. You've seen men with long necks— how funny they look. They try to -| hide their necks when they go out in company so little boys and girls won't snicker at them. Maybe that's the way the giraffe feels about it. Ethel Mary Nelson, 9 yvears old, of 4025 New Hampshire avenue, sug- gests that we call him “Sk be- cause he is as tall as the sky. Not a bad suggestion, elther, if we must stick to the long neck. Robert M. Crowder, 10 years old, of 1820 Kenyon street, suggests just plain “Necco.” Ruth Richards, 161 Kentucky ave- nue southeast, proposes that he be called “Jerry Long,” because he has such a long neck. Helen Evans, 11 years old, Bladens- burg road, gets her idea from Sunday school, and proposes that he be named “Neckodemas,” but suggests plain “Spots” as an alternative. Pegey Kahn, 8 vears old, 2701 Con- Crepe-soled shoes are just becoming popular in Germany. necticut avenue, wants to call him “‘Rubberneck,” but we can't help feel- ing the little stranger would cry if the __THE EVENING BSTAR.
